[acoustic timber]

like its weird when u are shooting it

[steady pilot]

[acoustic timber]

it goes all over the place unlike ak.

Ak for win

[feral gorge]

Meme4 bad

AK best

[steady pilot]

That's why you just get single fire ar15

[feral gorge]

Or

a VeprKM

[steady pilot]

[fickle kettle]

Sks main

[upper sky]

off meta pick

respectable

[brisk sail]

what are really good hunter builds?

that are pretty cheap

[steady pilot]

Literally the gun

[open basin]

you just put a scope on it lol

[steady pilot]

And an optic

[upper sky]

no other mods you need after optic

ez

[brisk sail]

like a red dot?

[upper sky]

no no

[steady pilot]

You can use okp dovetail

Or pso1 or kmz 1p59 scope

[upper sky]

PSO most popular build

[steady pilot]

All cheap options

Kmz is 13k, and is a 3 and 10x

Pso is static 4x

Up to you

[open basin]

so i cant have a scope and reflex on hunter but i cant put the elcan right?

[robust jackal]

I recommend getting the 10rnd mags

Makes life way easier especially at cqb

Only reason i wiped that squad earlier was the bigger mags

And the fact they sucked dicc

[upper sky]

didn't even know there were smaller mags

strange the VEPR doesn't show up here https://www.eftdb.one/weapons

[feral gorge]

sks bad

[robust jackal]

It has 5rnd mags

And 10

[upper sky]

hunter probably objectively better yea, but SKS with optics isn't terrible

[sonic lake]

@open basin if you use the weird shitty site with the upside down triangle on the dovetail, you can fit a TT01 with a PK-06 or something as a backup on the vepr hunter

@upper sky im pretty sure that site is outdated

[upper sky]

i just use it for when i can't find what weird tiny adapter i need to get a scope to fit on a gun @sonic lake not sure if it's good for damage numbers or whatever

[sonic lake]

use

the ingame stuff

[zealous forge]

I got 2+ mil rubs, is the VSS/AS VAL worth running?

[upper sky]

i find the ingame stuff frustrating and near impossible to use honestly, when it comes to optic mounting and whatnot. all these weird small adapters and whatever. but i do need more practice with it, sure

[thick mist]

What's the difference between IP59 and IP69?

[brazen owl]

@zealous forge I see it as a situational weapon, bullet has lot of drop but its a good platform nonetheless

[robust jackal]

@zealous forge it's a lot of fun

Especially on factory

Or labs

[zealous forge]

Looks pretty good for customs

[robust jackal]

CQC

[feral gorge]

wrong channel

[cerulean cape]

realized lol

[steady pilot]

@thick mist nothing visually within the the scope. Irl , the 1p59 (dovetail variant) is zeroed for svd. The 1p69 (weaver variant) is zeroed for sv98. They all do the same thing pretty much

[thick mist]

Oooo ty

I'm gonna try it out per your recommendation

[steady pilot]

👍

[sonic lake]

@zealous forge if you have access to SP6 ammo from prapor go ahead man its a lot of fun

[cerulean cape]

man, i love the vepr, but BP ammo got so damn expensive lately, almost feels not worth with a vepr lol

[robust jackal]

PS

XD

[cerulean cape]

might as well just upgrade to FAL & use m80 lol

[fair bobcat]

vepr is gay

[upper sky]

@fair bobcat rude

[cerulean cape]

vepr op

u probs think its gay cause u get fucked by it

[fair bobcat]

no

[upper sky]

yes

[feral gorge]

bet yall not even thinking of the same vepr

[fair bobcat]

aks the best

you all bad af

[steady pilot]

[brazen owl]

Is there any particular reason on why should someone save dollars? Or have more than 1 currency at their stashes?

[fair bobcat]

colonelfury that's why you can't even go out of a raid

[steady pilot]

@brazen owl peacekeeper needs dollars trade things so...

[brazen owl]

Thats the only reason or there's something else?

[steady pilot]

And some euro items like an icase can be bought

[brazen owl]

Because I can buy the currency later on if thats the only thing dollars are needed for

[steady pilot]

You need to turn 6k dollars in for a quest too

[brazen owl]

Do you know which one it is?

[fair bobcat]

crf petkovic where you from

[brazen owl]

Not serbia

Why?

[fair bobcat]

odakle si onda

[brazen owl]

I just told you i'm not serbian

or whatever you're speaking

[fair bobcat]

so why do you have petkovic as a name

[brazen owl]

soccer player

[fair bobcat]

i'm speaking croatian

it's way better than serbian

[brazen owl]

i dont care

[fair bobcat]

you should start

[open basin]

lmfao what a troll

[brazen owl]

#general-chat

[upper sky]

thx @brazen owl - this is wrong channel for this talk now 🙂

[fair bobcat]

what u mean what a troll?

[brazen owl]

I'm aware @upper sky 🙂

[vernal anchor]

This is an english only channel

[fair bobcat]

I got people so many good gifts and things, don't see anything troll in that

[brazen owl]

Anyway, @steady pilot do you know which quest it is? Or at least which dealer gives the quest, so i can search

[steady pilot]

Friend from the west

[brazen owl]

Ty

Do people tend to complete this quest?

[idle bluff]

Yes

[steady pilot]

you have to if you want to prgoress

[idle bluff]

Very important

[steady pilot]

with peacekeeper

[brazen owl]

Got it

I'll save 6k then

[steady pilot]

dude

literally keep

[brazen owl]

But wait

[steady pilot]

all currencies

whatever you are thinking

dont do it

[brazen owl]

THis quest is Skier's

not peacekeeper

[steady pilot]

it unlocks peacekeeper.

[brazen owl]

Oh ok

Cool

[frosty plinth]

man, got a SA from a marked room, was fiddling around with it when I hear some one coming....merc him as he goes to unlock door....100% looked like I was camping it

feelsbad

[steady pilot]

[meager girder]

Anyone know what the best T5 armor to run?

[steady pilot]

tactec

[meager girder]

Does it not matter too much to not have arm and stomach protected?

[primal chasm]

well it depends

what you mean by best

they all do different things kinda

[brazen owl]

Tactec doesnt protect your abdomen

But its good, serves as rig

[meager girder]

Would you mind giving me a rundown? i really am tryin to learn as much as possible

[brazen owl]

And around 120k

[primal chasm]

like personnaly i would say gen4 assault is the best

sure

we can hop in a call if u want

[meager girder]

sure, i dont want to congest the chat if thats a prob

[primal chasm]

the one under this chat

[steady pilot]

@meager girder the thing is, and armored rig is an all in one option and for it being lvl 5 and having ability to store enough loot, it is a solid armor. Very cheap and effecient for what it does. Other armor is like 150-250k right now AND you have to buy a rig on top of it

[bold kernel]

y'all im new as fuck anyone wanna help with a raid or two

[upper sky]

@steady pilot which rig is this? sorry missed earlier convo

[steady pilot]

@meager girder and stomach protection is not a big deal. someone hitting sveral times in stomach would take several shots to kill you. Secondly, you can just take a CMS kit to repair stomach to stop the mega hhydration loss.

so tactec, for around 70-80k

is a very effecient armor

If that man wants to upsale a 200-250k armor that barely does much more be my guest lol, if you were gonna get penned you die either way.

[upper sky]

don't see any for that price in decent condition on the market 😦

[steady pilot]

they are rising in price cause of how effecient it is

[upper sky]

figures hah

[open basin]

besides that one what other armor is good

[steady pilot]

the word spread once armor got nerfed

[cerulean cape]

just use paca and hope theyre only using 9mm xd

[steady pilot]

@upper sky

i would buy this one in heartbeat

[upper sky]

at 12?

it repairs that well?

[steady pilot]

the repair would only cost like 15k-20k.

yes tactec repairs AMAZING

[split vapor]

It’s Kevlar

So yes

[steady pilot]

its like only 1-2 points lost

so its an 80k lvl 5 rig

vs lets see..

220k for gen4 lmfao

that repairs like shit

and you need a 40k rig on top of it

gee wizzz

nearly 300k in just armor and a rig

[open basin]

does armor type only matter for repairing

[steady pilot]

yes

[open basin]

like kevlar and ceramic

ah

[steady pilot]

thats how they base repair values on

aside from level

ofc.

[open basin]

i need to watch some pestily vids on this shit

[steady pilot]

why

just use tactec for 7-80k

[open basin]

i need more money for that

[steady pilot]

its so efficient its silly

class 5 for that cheap while also being a rig

lmao wut

[open basin]

what if i die to random mosin man

im out of a class 5 rig

[steady pilot]

you wont

chances are some mosin man is using lps

and if it is 7n1, ive actually tanked 2 7n1 rounds from a svd

[open basin]

i died to some dbag using tracer bullets yesterday

[steady pilot]

it left 2 hp on my chest

tactec saves lives

[upper sky]

it's efficient, but it's not cheap for everyone hah

[open basin]

yeah ill prob get one

[steady pilot]

70k isnt cheap???

vs 220k???

yes cheap is relative

BUT THATS CHEAP

[open basin]

i use the 48k armored rig from ragman 2

the class 4 one

[steady pilot]

that barrrelly

saves you

there are so many bullets penning class 4 easily right now

obviously either way a head shot oyu prob dead

but helmets a re money sink anyway.

[atomic tundra]

hey anyone want to do a run with me im new and just bought the game

[open basin]

i got the elcan

[steady pilot]

@atomic tundra accept the #521628660298678283 to unlock discord

you know it worked when yo ugot a blue name

then you can ask questions here, hire a sherpa via #sherpa-info , #pvp-lfg . Then use the wiki to research information and look up beginner guides from pestily/deadlyslob on youtube

[atomic tundra]

k

sherpa?

[steady pilot]

yes

sherpa

#sherpa-info

[cerulean cape]

ye we're gettin later in wipe already, lil baby bullets not the same. gotta start using FAL i think so i can jump from PS to M80 lol

[upper sky]

how long since the wipe? i started playing like.. two or three weeks in

[split vapor]

October 27th is day 1 of .12

[robust jackal]

Vepr hunter

[cerulean cape]

not long, but long enough that not everyones in low lvl armor anymore

[robust jackal]

XD

M80 bae

[cerulean cape]

fal is only few K more, more than worth it

[split vapor]

Hunter trash

[robust jackal]

No

[split vapor]

That’s 0.065 accuracy

[robust jackal]

Hunter gud

[split vapor]

Bad

[robust jackal]

My hunter is a sub

XD

[split vapor]

🦙

Much better

[steady pilot]

oof

using a sdn

over qd wave

[split vapor]

Ryan sometimes you need to learn just to shut up for once

Like goddamn

[steady pilot]

ok boomer

[split vapor]

I’m literally younger then you

[steady pilot]

[split vapor]

Now that’s stupid

[vernal anchor]

Hoes mad

[split vapor]

[vernal anchor]

The only build that matters

[steady pilot]

insert ash 12

[split vapor]

Ash12 it just works

[open basin]

Oh man going full screen has doubled my fps. Didnt think the performance jump would be this good

[steady pilot]

there it is.

[vernal anchor]

Chad-12

[split vapor]

I smell a lotta off topic going on

[steady pilot]

my favorite still

[split vapor]

weapon modding

Hmmmmmmm

[steady pilot]

yeah mako

breakin the rules n shit

[upper sky]

@vernal anchor sweet

[vernal anchor]

Anyone is free to ask for help

[split vapor]

[vernal anchor]

For every nice looking build I have ugly meta

[steady pilot]

Same

[split vapor]

ladies this ain’t weapon modding

[steady pilot]

https://tenor.com/view/yo-quiero-tacos-thumbs-up-pointing-punching-gif-13417277

[split vapor]

You make me question why you aren’t banned yet

[steady pilot]

[upper sky]

@steady pilot want

[open basin]

so geforce experience made my game brighter

and easier to find stuff

[split vapor]

[steady pilot]

[potent drum]

👀 anything good going on in here

[steady pilot]

nah

noobs went to bed

[knotty finch]

im here

[grand elm]

@vernal anchor open stats

@vernal anchor for remington

[knotty finch]

recommendations for a gun build up to 100k?

[grand elm]

?

[knotty finch]

[neat spruce]

@steady pilot thanks again for the Vepr suggestion for scav busting. Worked great! 9 scavs in one Customs run. One was a player scav.

[steady pilot]

minus optic

its roughly 100k

[knotty finch]

Cool I’ll try it out

Ty

[steady pilot]

also in the 100k range

might be lil cheaper actually

[grand elm]

Shit, I got 60 mil idc about that lol

[steady pilot]

ok...and?

was telling thelminas.

[normal abyss]

nice flex

[knotty finch]

What mods are you using cuz idk the names

[grand elm]

https://tenor.com/view/calm-yo-tits-calm-down-calm-relax-terry-crews-gif-4655399

[fickle kettle]

Nice sks

[grand elm]

felt appropriate

[steady pilot]

https://tenor.com/view/calculating-puzzled-math-confused-confused-look-gif-14677181

[normal abyss]

yeah lol smh sw why aren't you sending inspect screenies

modding screen is useless

[steady pilot]

better?

[knotty finch]

Ty daddy

[fickle kettle]

Dem nice sks delta

[steady pilot]

ikr

[fickle kettle]

Why not rk-2 dou

[steady pilot]

absolute garbage

[fickle kettle]

Or the other rk

[steady pilot]

both

are

honestly i just use fortis

rvg is just a cheaper effecient option

[fickle kettle]

Is that the 2x sight

[steady pilot]

monstrum yeah, not included for the price

[lapis mauve]

I like rk-6, 5.9k and 9 ergo (they took away the 1 recoil for some reason)

[upper sky]

-2 ergo is nothing

getting % recoil is worth

[steady pilot]

no its not

[lapis mauve]

5% recoil isn’t really much either

[steady pilot]

you need a good balance of recoil and ergo

[upper sky]

fair

[steady pilot]

the difference between 3 and 5%

is literally a couple points

[golden geyser]

What's the difference between sights placed on the front or the back of the gun?

[steady pilot]

-2 ergo and +7 ergp can defintely be felt

[lapis mauve]

Personal preference mainly

[steady pilot]

^

[fickle kettle]

Bigger and smaller @golden geyser

[golden geyser]

It doesn't affect the perception of zoom right?

[upper sky]

ok you're prob right @steady pilot - i was only thinking in terms of flat % vs a couple points

[golden geyser]

Ah okay

[steady pilot]

ANYTHING to do with optics is preference

[golden geyser]

Thanks

[fickle kettle]

Also why not use “trash meta ergo” delta

[steady pilot]

the rk2?/

[fickle kettle]

No the side sight pk-06

[steady pilot]

a canted or 1oclock

[fickle kettle]

Canted

I think

[steady pilot]

same thing

[brazen owl]

If my time to escape is 20 minutes, the time to all other players is 20 minutes aswell? I saw some youtuber making this assumption but Im not sure if its correct

[steady pilot]

uh

i dont care for it.

@brazen owl yes the raid has a set time everyone is on same time

[brazen owl]

Oh ok

So I can guess if I was the first to spawn based on the time, right?

[steady pilot]

what

[brazen owl]

People spawn at different times, or not?

[steady pilot]

if you see the timer count down to raid start

thats when the raid starts...

[brazen owl]

Not what I mean

[open basin]

Damn i forgot what i was gonna ask

[brazen owl]

What I mean is, the raid has a certain duration, lets say its 25 minutes

[steady pilot]

people spawn at different times cause they have toasters

a PMC will never spawn past like 5mins after start

[brazen owl]

Really? I thought pscavs could spawn at the end of the raid

[steady pilot]

Player scavs spawn throughout the whole raid

theoretcially

[brazen owl]

What about pscavs?

Oh ok

so, lets say the raid is 10 minutes left to escape

Theres a chance a pscav will spawn with 10 minutes left?

[fickle kettle]

Mostly no

[steady pilot]

as long as there is a pmc in the raid

they CAN

[vernal anchor]

I believe there are certain windows for when player scavs spawn in

[steady pilot]

mmost likley NOT that late

[open basin]

22 mins is like the latest i've spawned

[steady pilot]

its usually 30-50 mins when p scavs get in.

[brazen owl]

But it is certain that everyone has the same time to escape, correct?

[steady pilot]

there are RARE isntances.

[open basin]

Earliest is 45 mins

[brazen owl]

I believe I have found player scavs as soon as I spawned on Customs

[steady pilot]

@brazen owl The Server has the time, not people

[brazen owl]

Ok, thanks for clearing that up

[steady pilot]

if you do not extract when the server time ends

you die

[brazen owl]

Previously I thought people that spawned 5 minutes late, would have 5 more minutes to extract

[steady pilot]

negative

[fickle kettle]

What

[steady pilot]

just because someone has a toaster

doesnt mean its techincally a late spawn

they just took too long to load

they technically spawn althought not visible as soon as the raid matches

[brazen owl]

Most of my wait time is "Matching", is there a way to reduce this time?

[upper sky]

it's a game bug, not a PC issue

[knotty finch]

I don’t have a toaster and I have bouts of late spawns in a row

[upper sky]

@brazen owl no. depends on population of regional server(s)

[steady pilot]

@brazen owl open up more servers. you are in SAM so you are going to have a rough time matching on dead hours

[brazen owl]

I use south US servers

[steady pilot]

yes and US is dead right now

comparatively

[brazen owl]

Not talking about right now though

But still, got what you mean

[steady pilot]

just dont match past 2-5 mins

back out and restart the amtching

[brazen owl]

Because that would mean I would be a late spawner?

[steady pilot]

no...

[brazen owl]

Then its alright waiting

[steady pilot]

matching is just finding a lobby and people to go in

[brazen owl]

Most of time I find matches on 3 minutes

[steady pilot]

after matching is loading and "waiting for players" ie waiting for more spots to be fille

before starting

[fathom narwhal]

what happen if i dehydrate

[steady pilot]

you start "bleeding out"

[fickle kettle]

Let just this if you see the timer “deploying” that mean you are 1 of the first spawner

If you load into the map right

Away

That mean you have been late, i mean you can check the time too anyway

[vernal anchor]

Yep

[fickle kettle]

Just press “O”

[brazen owl]

So, if I spawn on Customs and I see time left: 25 minutes, it means I spawned early, correct?

[steady pilot]

what

[fickle kettle]

Unmmm

[steady pilot]

that means you are a scav

???

[fickle kettle]

Scav ?

[steady pilot]

PMCs do not spawn with 25mins left

[brazen owl]

Then why Customs have 25 minutes on the map selection screen?

[steady pilot]

thats the AVERAGE time

!wiki customs

[broken quail]

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Customs

Escape from Tarkov Wiki

Customs

Customs is a location in Escape from Tarkov. It is the second location that was added to the game.

[steady pilot]

As in how long a raid there

[brazen owl]

OOH

[vernal anchor]

Dont pay attention to the map selection screen

[steady pilot]

usually lasts

[fickle kettle]

[vernal anchor]

Its all dumb

[golden geyser]

Do you need to pay at old road gate if Scav?

[brazen owl]

ok now i understand

[fickle kettle]

@golden geyser no you are scav

[upper sky]

@golden geyser no

[fickle kettle]

You are poor

[brazen owl]

Ok, so, if I spawn and I see 50 minutes left, I'm one the first spawners

correct me if i'm wrong

[steady pilot]

that means you are a PMC.

starting a fresh raid

[vernal anchor]

The closer to 50 the better

[fickle kettle]

Most likely you will spawn early if you are PMC

[steady pilot]

im honestly

just

[fickle kettle]

Bruh have you been playing scav

[vernal anchor]

But if you see the countdown before deploying, its the best indicator that you're in early

[fickle kettle]

But not pmc xd ?

[brazen owl]

Ok good thanks

Nah I've been playing PMC

But i've been asking this because sometimes I reach a place as PMC and its already looted

With open boxes etc

So thats why I was wondering

[fickle kettle]

Hatchling

[steady pilot]

you are moving to slow and hatchlings and people rush loot areas...

[golden geyser]

Oh cmon....

I died 😦

[brazen owl]

That makes sense

[fickle kettle]

And there alots more ppl are faster than you

[golden geyser]

Extract campers REEEEEEE

[steady pilot]

[fickle kettle]

@golden geyser

[brazen owl]

Which map @golden geyser ?

[golden geyser]

Customs

[brazen owl]

So far I've only met extract campers on factory and customs (zb-1011)

[golden geyser]

Had a keycard and a Pilgrim filled to the max

550k profit rip

[brazen owl]

Which exit was it?

[golden geyser]

Behind the dorms

I was wrapping around the wall

[brazen owl]

V-ex

[golden geyser]

from the left

[fickle kettle]

Lol

[golden geyser]

he was just sitting in a bush

[fickle kettle]

That not camping

[brazen owl]

Thats really open place, I hate extracting there

[fickle kettle]

You take a risk

[golden geyser]

lol

[fickle kettle]

Extract dere lol

[golden geyser]

Maybe walking down to Scav Extract was a better option?

but then I'd have to go past gas station

Is that safer?

[brazen owl]

You can go north of gas station too

[golden geyser]

Scav Checkpoint?

[sage cape]

is there a chat in this disc for people wanting to play with others? like a looking for game chat

[brazen owl]

By the woods, near the rocks

[fickle kettle]

No where is save accurian

[brazen owl]

@sage cape #pvp-lfg

[steady pilot]

@golden geyser you sshould always be on your toes and clear your sectors

[fickle kettle]

Safe*

[sage cape]

o wow i did not scroll down ty

[golden geyser]

I was a Scav with a shotgun

[steady pilot]

I never die to extract campers

cause i know better than them

[golden geyser]

with no armor

and a Scav vest

🙂

[brazen owl]

I've died once, now lesson learned

[fickle kettle]

@sage cape i was about to bully that you didnt scroll down xd

[brazen owl]

Whenever I'm entering ZB-1011 on customs I just pre-fire

[golden geyser]

lol

Makes sense

[fickle kettle]

@golden geyser it not really camping

[brazen owl]

Found 3 guys there

[fickle kettle]

It just bad luck

[golden geyser]

lol

it was 26 minutes left in the raid

[brazen owl]

Dorms V-Ex is an open extract, no cover there

[fickle kettle]

I killed alots scav who trying to extract

[brazen owl]

So its really risky

[fickle kettle]

It not fault it because they extract where i have sight on them

It not my fault*

[open basin]

extract camper 😠 @fickle kettle

[brazen owl]

Scavs on customs have plenty of options

Few people camp Warehouse 4 and 17

[fickle kettle]

Bruh they heading to CP fence

I was on the rock

[golden geyser]

I was blue, enemy was red

[fickle kettle]

Too good too skip them

[brazen owl]

He was probably hearing something inside dorms 3 story

or checking if someone was in there

And then he heard you

Lots of bushes there, gotta be careful

[golden geyser]

Yeah, kinda blows

oh well..

[brazen owl]

I would've gone south

Through construction

Dorms is always too hot when I want to play safe

[fickle kettle]

@golden geyser it just 500k mate

[golden geyser]

but it was on a Scav run

I should've just waited tbh

[brazen owl]

Did you have fun?

Did you learn something?

Thats rewarding enough for me

[fickle kettle]

It just scav run

[golden geyser]

I didn't even see where he was

[brazen owl]

More than 500k

[golden geyser]

lol yeah go make 500k within 10 minutes with no investment

I'm just a new player, I'm broke

[brazen owl]

buy cheap stuff

[golden geyser]

and I need money for a stash upgrade, money like 500k is a lot

[fickle kettle]

Dw being broke the fun of the game

Dont care about other ppl flex

[brazen owl]

I havent wasted more than 35k on a gun yet, and I have been playing for 2 weeks now

[fickle kettle]

Being broke in this game = fun

[brazen owl]

Why you need stash upgrade?

If your stash is full, sell stuff

[golden geyser]

cuz I'm getting ful

I can't sell anything

[brazen owl]

Why not?

Not lvl 5 yet?

Upgrade the dealers

Or you're amassing stuff for hideout like a crazy hoarder?

[fickle kettle]

@golden geyser dm me your stash

[golden geyser]

I'll post it here

but yeah I swear whenever I get mad loot I die, but when I get average loot I live

[brazen owl]

Accurian this is how I do it

[fickle kettle]

I can maybe teach you trick to be more effet

[brazen owl]

On the bottom there is just iskras and mres I'm saving for quest

DUDE

YOU'RE POOR?

wtf

you have so much stuff

[brazen owl]

WHAT

[golden geyser]

lol I'm just lvl 10

[brazen owl]

[sage cape]

actual rich man in the chat

[fathom narwhal]

[normal abyss]

I wouldn't call him rich

[golden geyser]

LOL

[fickle kettle]

Ikr

[golden geyser]

I'm not rich lmao

[fathom narwhal]

go to overall

[brazen owl]

He isnt broke either

[vernal anchor]

Doing good for themself

[fathom narwhal]

and check total cost of all items

[fickle kettle]

Please dont be tich

[brazen owl]

He was like "im broke, i need money"

[golden geyser]

I haven't bought anything other than the Ssh helmet

[normal abyss]

He's rich if you don't know how to make money

[fickle kettle]

Rich*

[vernal anchor]

Guns are money you havent cashed in yet

[sage cape]

hes rich to 3 hours of play time

[golden geyser]

Yeah, like no joke you just don't know how make money then lol

[brazen owl]

"im broke"

[fathom narwhal]

just hachet run

[sage cape]

[fathom narwhal]

but yea

[brazen owl]

"AccurianToday at 05:33
lol yeah go make 500k within 10 minutes with no investment
I'm just a new player, I'm broke"

[fathom narwhal]

check your total cost of all items in the stash

[golden geyser]

Not much

[fathom narwhal]

👀

pretty decent if u ask me

like top 30%

[golden geyser]

Whaaa

[brazen owl]

you have 1 million more than me

[fathom narwhal]

^

[golden geyser]

Please note that I have literally no upgrades

[fathom narwhal]

upgrade as in hideout?

[golden geyser]

my hideout is garbage

[fathom narwhal]

its fine

mine is still level 1 too

[knotty finch]

my buddy is a pistoling and he has like 100x more than what i ahve feelsbadman

[fathom narwhal]

hideout is mostly late game

or something to sink your money in

[brazen owl]

this game isnt race for money though

[fathom narwhal]

^

[fickle kettle]

That pretty good eough for 1 week player

[fathom narwhal]

its a race to kill a streamer and flex his dogtag

[fickle kettle]

[brazen owl]

i guess most people just hoard hoard hoard and then wipes come

[golden geyser]

Yeah I just focus on making money tbh, maybe that's why

[fathom narwhal]

its k

[brazen owl]

instead of using money to do something

[golden geyser]

lol

[fathom narwhal]

money fear is pretty common

[sage cape]

@knotty finch probs plays confident cause doesnt care about pistol

[fathom narwhal]

just like gear fear

[upper sky]

i got it bad

but i'm ok with that

[brazen owl]

indeed defkon

[fathom narwhal]

its just something you get used to it

[upper sky]

i set goals for myself, don't measure myself against rich and good players haha

[golden geyser]

What's the top standard for lvl 4 helmets w/ facemask combination?

[fathom narwhal]

i would recommend using ur mosin and stuff

like

[golden geyser]

Nah.. I'll let it collect dust 🙂

[knotty finch]

@sage cape he only runs pistol just to run for items into his pouch and thats it never plays with me

[fickle kettle]

At least it jot sks fest like Delta

[knotty finch]

ebay simulator

[fathom narwhal]

but ur stash will be full

[fickle kettle]

Not sks fear*

[brazen owl]

Its actually banker simulator

[fathom narwhal]

and then u have to play stash tetris

[golden geyser]

Haha, dw I'm fine with selling stuff off

[brazen owl]

Just hoard items, sell when they're high, hold the most money possible

[fathom narwhal]

^

hoard them lab cards

[normal abyss]

selling when high is usually selling immediately early wipe for most things

[brazen owl]

Never go lab

hahaha

[golden geyser]

I already did it with two SV-98s, a Hunter, two ADARs etc

[fathom narwhal]

really

why lab sux

[brazen owl]

I'm just joking Brayneeah, making fun of people that hoard items/money

[golden geyser]

I just liquidize all my assets other than quest items

[fathom narwhal]

should i sell all my cards then

[brazen owl]

No way

Go there

Actually

Do you need money?

Than sell it

[fathom narwhal]

naw

[vernal anchor]

I would keep one to try it out offline

[brazen owl]

Then go there

[fathom narwhal]

im trying to get hideout running

bullets are so pricy

[brazen owl]

Well if you know how to loot labs, it has bunch of stuff that are used in hideout

[vernal anchor]

But its my opinion that it isnt worth going to until you're comfortable, since you will find plenty more cards in the future

[golden geyser]

Oh, I did invest into this pick 2 days ago so I'm kinda set back on stash upgrade

[fathom narwhal]

so hachet lab run

[brazen owl]

nah just go normal

[sage cape]

as noob, what should i run maps scav pmc etc. full inventory of shiddy stuf rn

[brazen owl]

remember to use good boolets though

ppl use armor 4,5,6 there

[fickle kettle]

Why you need rr when you dont do reserve

[fathom narwhal]

sell ur shiddy stuff

to level up loyalty

[sage cape]

wit which vend?

[brazen owl]

sweg ppl say customs is easy to learn because its easy to navigate, but there's a lot of geared folks there because of the good loot, woods its kinda easy too, just hug the wall if you're lost

[fathom narwhal]

Therapist > Skier > Mechanic/Prapor > Ragman is what i am doing

dont quote me

[sage cape]

ive been running factory since i know it from the utube

[fathom narwhal]

custom dorm too spooky

[brazen owl]

Sweg check which vendor you want to upgrade first, check the wiki for what items they sell on their next levels

[fathom narwhal]

lost like a mil worth of equipment there

[upper sky]

everyone has haha

[brazen owl]

If you want an item that therapist lvl 2 sells, then focus on selling stuff to her till you reach the quota

[sage cape]

so i need 2 research what items i want and which vendor said items r?

[brazen owl]

No

[fathom narwhal]

oof

[upper sky]

RagmanL2 is really good

[fathom narwhal]

ill go back there later

[brazen owl]

You can sell randomly

[fathom narwhal]

i have like 4 quests in dorm

doing wood/jaeger quest

[brazen owl]

But lets say you want an item that Ragman lvl 2 has, then you should sell to him, if you want to upgrade him

Its up to you what to do

Maybe you dont want to level up traders, just use the flea market

[fathom narwhal]

also always disassemble everything

[open basin]

upgrade everyone 😄

[normal abyss]

not really

you should sell for money and do cheese for whichever trader you want to up

thera and mech are easy, just tetriz

[fathom narwhal]

speaking of upgrading vendors

[normal abyss]

skier was REAP-IRs I believe

[fathom narwhal]

peacekeeper takes so long

[normal abyss]

might have changed

for quests or money?

[sage cape]

wtf u can examine stuff in vendors thats wild

[normal abyss]

you can examine in flea lmao

you can examine everything in the game in there

or just about

[fathom narwhal]

free exp too

[sage cape]

mad dont have to waste time examining to pick stuff up

[normal abyss]

yeah it's pretty nice

middle click is a hotkey for examine btw

@fathom narwhal if you just wanna level peacekeeper buy USD, buy MPs and sell them on flea

you don't lose that much money doing that

[fathom narwhal]

o

gege

ok

i just been selling most of my loots to him

[normal abyss]

like I said, just sell for most money

the order is thera > skier > mechanic

[sage cape]

braynee saving my 20million left and right clicks

[normal abyss]

lmao

happy to help

[sage cape]

:]

[open basin]

hm another spawn as a scav with 44 mins left in thegame

did they increase the timer for the maps

[sage cape]

do higher durability items sell for more?

like if i have a damaged helmet vs a pristine of the same helm

[rugged thunder]

Whos down to raid? Im looking for a squad

[rose echo]

It can @sage cape yes, but can also not make much difference too depending on the seller

#pvp-lfg @rugged thunder please

[rugged thunder]

my bad

[rose echo]

np 🙂

[sage cape]

o ok ty

[vernal anchor]

To a trader, for sure. For the market, most likely, maybe even more so

[rose echo]

There can be some rip off guys on the flea market, so be careful what you buy lol

[steady pilot]

I recommend ignoring barter trades

[open basin]

i've gotten ripped off on the flea before

[sage cape]

not even high enough level to enter the flea market :p

[steady pilot]

They are nearly 100% scam or a bad deal.

[open basin]

i remember trading two bolts for a single d size battery

[vernal anchor]

It would help if barters gave better estimates on value

[steady pilot]

[open basin]

^

[rose echo]

True @vernal anchor they are well off really

[golden geyser]

Aww.. 😦

[vernal anchor]

That and the fact that dollars and euros are valued wrong as well

[steady pilot]

^

[golden geyser]

That's why I just buy everything with rubles only

[open basin]

dollars went down right?

yeah i use roubles only for the most part

[vernal anchor]

Dollars should have a static value, at least from peacekeeper

[steady pilot]

^

[open basin]

dollars were 109 but now 108

[steady pilot]

I mean it's not a big difference

[vernal anchor]

You'll be hard pressed to find someone selling dollars for less than him on the market, but its possible

[sage cape]

what do the arrows mean on the traders when theyre in place of roubles

[steady pilot]

but yeah dont buy currency from players

elaborate

OH

you mean barter trade?

like those arrows?

[sage cape]

i guess? cant buy the item with rouble only with two arrows of varrying quantities

yea those

[steady pilot]

thats just a barter trade

you give me this item i give you that item

barter trade for traders are most of the time, ok .

just ignore player made barters.

[neat spruce]

@steady pilot would the vepr KM take a scope for scav busting on Woods?

[sage cape]

what do you have to give the trader? an equally valued item ?

[neat spruce]

Or should I choose something else?

[steady pilot]

• grabs phone *

[sand apex]

trades are for specific things

[vernal anchor]

You give the trader what the ask for, it should tell you

[steady pilot]

like that?

[neat spruce]

lol

[steady pilot]

13k gun and 13k scope

👌

[sand apex]

player barters are generally scams because the flea market does a poor job of estimating their value, elevating them higher in the list than they ought to be

[golden geyser]

[neat spruce]

Is it accurate enough?

[steady pilot]

to about

[sand apex]

and fooling naive people into thinking they're better deals than they are

[steady pilot]

150m

[sage cape]

ragman wants toilet paper and soap for an armored rig, nice

[steady pilot]

maybe 200m

yeah 200m is ok. just compensate for drop of course.

[neat spruce]

alright!

[steady pilot]

if you want

[neat spruce]

I named my preset "Scav Buster"

[steady pilot]

an ak103 is like 30k

and can take the scope as well

or a pso

and it has a much better accuracy value

[neat spruce]

Is ak103 a carbine, too?

[steady pilot]

um

yeah? i guess

its a full auto ak

but tbh, you should tapfire all 7x39 rifles

cause kick.

[neat spruce]

yeah, it's an assault rifle, and only ~30k as you said

[vernal anchor]

With BP its worth letting every shot matter

[steady pilot]

you cant go TOO wrong

with an AK74m

it has bad low/mid tier rounds

but face taps are easy

it has low recoil

[neat spruce]

only 10K more, too

[steady pilot]

ak74m is 17k

on market

well 24k. one is selling for 17k now

my bad

[neat spruce]

not anymore

I bought it

[steady pilot]

kappa

SO you just want kind of a budget scav blaster right?

[half jackal]

anyone else see like double when using holographics

[steady pilot]

not a player buster

[open basin]

i want a budget scav blaster too

[vernal anchor]

Screenshot it fao

[neat spruce]

That's right

[half jackal]

i cant screenshot my eyes

[stark moat]

I like how you put that gun on the scope.

[open basin]

is it a vepr km

[neat spruce]

I need to do my 15 scavs in Woods and Customs

[steady pilot]

so for your ak74m

give me a asec

to mod

[neat spruce]

kk

[open basin]

i need to do 15 scav kills on woods along with 7 scav kills with no armor

so gonna snipe it 😄

[neat spruce]

@open basin what're you going to snipe with?

Mosin?

FAL?

[open basin]

i have a sv-98 and 2 SVDS

[neat spruce]

right on

[vernal anchor]

SV-98 is a good time

I believe in investing in a supressor but its expensive

[open basin]

would a silencer make it better?

[vernal anchor]

60k

[open basin]

i need to a watch a sv-98 vid with silencer

[neat spruce]

the supressor doesn't do much. It's a loud gun

[vernal anchor]

Its worth it at range

[neat spruce]

I tried to run with the SV and an M9A3 (pistol), but that didn't work out

[steady pilot]

this is a rather good budget

and suppressed

to attract less attention

[half jackal]

https://gyazo.com/6ff6927d5d6e1c3c219c7a6bc801335c this is what holos look like to me, whyyyyyy

[neat spruce]

that scope looks redonk

[steady pilot]

it does

here

[vernal anchor]

@half jackal Kinda looks like the flashed effect

[half jackal]

no i mean

its not my game, my eyes are fucked

[neat spruce]

is that a new foregrip and scope mount?

[vernal anchor]

Oh thats rough

[steady pilot]

better? i used the weaver railed version instead

cost more but

[half jackal]

red dots are cool though because its like 3 dots stacked on top of eachother

[vernal anchor]

I have 143 sv-98 xp and almost all of that is suppressed with a hensoldt

[half jackal]

is that rk1?

[steady pilot]

@neat spruce that scope im showing you is a 1p59 scope, its a 3x-10x

very good

[vernal anchor]

The grip is an RVG

[steady pilot]

personally i do like PSO a lot

but its 4x static

[half jackal]

Do you ever use the acogs?

[steady pilot]

DO I EVER

• grabs phone *

[half jackal]

3.5x35 ftw

[steady pilot]

ACOGs are poorly represented in this game sadly.

[half jackal]

I like that one

hate 4x32 tho

[golden geyser]

What's the point of doing the optional options in quests? Do you get more stuff?

[steady pilot]

i meant the field of view they offer is just attrocious

@golden geyser no

[golden geyser]

Okay

[steady pilot]

@golden geyser its just if you want to do it or not, doesnt affect quest much

usually the optinal part is just obtaining the key or finding the room

lol

[golden geyser]

Alright thanks 🙂

[steady pilot]

@neat spruce jus tbecause i dont like 545 at the moment, you can just swap those parts to a AK103

762 PS is still super reliable against scavs

[neat spruce]

thanks!

[steady pilot]

but 545 has always been a dice roll

not a fan myself

but your experience may be different.

[half jackal]

is it 74n or 74m that has lower meta recoil

[steady pilot]

74n by a very small margin because zhukov stock is op

not really worth tbh, the AK100's have much better accuracy and ergo

for a small recoil loss

for meta builds*

[neat spruce]

@steady pilot I think I'll go with the ak103. That way, I don't have to buy new mags or ammo

and I can share between my vepr

[steady pilot]

i think the ak103 with a 1p59/pso

is super strong

grab a dtk suppressor for it

helps a lot

[half jackal]

101 is like useless huh

[sage cape]

can anyone tell me which one of these is better?

if theres any noteable differences

[steady pilot]

Sweg, the Ak74m is the Modern variant of the AK 74/N

[half jackal]

go 74M

[sage cape]

point taken

[half jackal]

and slap a forward grip on

[steady pilot]

74m is mostly the better option

for a 25k gun

[calm nexus]

@sage cape those are 2 diffrent varients of the same gun. just one is with a foldable stock

[fathom narwhal]

whats the benefit of foldable stock

[steady pilot]

pointless

[calm nexus]

you can mod them nearly identically, but if i were you i would put the grip on the AK 74M

[steady pilot]

imo

[sage cape]

i mean my scav just decided to have one so i took it home

[fathom narwhal]

nice

[calm nexus]

not pointless, it saves storage space

[normal abyss]

Only saving inventory space

[fathom narwhal]

other than storage i guess

like for combat

[steady pilot]

horrible

[calm nexus]

if u dont have EOD, thats i m p o r t a n t

[steady pilot]

dont do it

[fathom narwhal]

so i might as well use ak74

and not m

[calm nexus]

not for combat

[steady pilot]

you dont need to have foldable stocks..

[calm nexus]

the weapon will turn into a titan II ICBM

[fathom narwhal]

kk

so more of a storage

[steady pilot]

i realize its folded but

taking grip and mag out

and it becomes 1x4/5/6

[calm nexus]

saves even more space :D

[fathom narwhal]

i do the same thing

[steady pilot]

@neat spruce i have one more build option, not so much budget, but more aesthetic for not too pricey.

[neat spruce]

you have my attention, sir

[frosty crown]

fucking killa one shot me 😢

[sage cape]

sold everything else, should i sell pistols too?

[calm nexus]

no

for loot runs

[sage cape]

define loot run

[steady pilot]

i dig a magpul build 👌

[frosty crown]

run for loot

[calm nexus]

you go, with almost nothing

and get out with more stuff

[sage cape]

cheeky vantu

so like scav but pmc

[calm nexus]

some kill scavs, some just loot containers

yes

[frosty crown]

if you're new honestly all u should be doing rn is taking a pistol and trying to kill scavs and loot shit

learn customs

[sage cape]

just sold all the stuff i d i d have for hideout moneyy

[calm nexus]

can anyone help me learn customs btw?

i have some experience but so far im only semi familiar with shoreline

[sage cape]

youtube is pretty good

[half jackal]

meh

N>M

cant fold

taken less

[steady pilot]

you know

[sage cape]

slow paced gam = lots of time to learn map while watching

[steady pilot]

you can just kick the stock off

[half jackal]

shh

[steady pilot]

@neat spruce you see it?

[half jackal]

idk

M has 2 less recoil, 2 more ergo

N 2 less ergo 2 more recoil

its really w/e

[neat spruce]

@steady pilot oh, yeah!

Different foregrip and stock?
