@vernal anchor that would be me!
what do u guys reckon is the best ak variant?
Gotcha
ayyyyy thx @vernal anchor
No worries
@ruby fox There isn't one
They all do different things
you could ask for best per caliber
because AKs come in 7.62x39, 5.45x39, and 5.56x45
@desert hull @ruby fox 101 102 are 5.56, 103 104 are 7.62, 105 and 74M are 5.45
Ok thanks
How do I get dollars? I want to buy some ammo only peacekeeper has
Peacekeeper sells dollars for roubles
@tight elm What the gentleperson above said
Bruh I just one tapped some guy 100m away with an ak
I feel so proud of myself
His friend pussied out
@summer charm what server u on
NA
It'll automatically switch if the leader from another server invites you
feel free to add me up then "14jakejohn"
Accepted
Gotta say this game is kind of shitty lol
This has been my experience for the past 2 hours
Bruh it's okay
theres quite the learning curve lol
i feel the same way most times
but sometimes you get to be the one killing people :)
spawns are fucked right now yeah
I've never killed a single person in the 5 hours ive put into the game so far
@mighty swift welcome to tarkov 
go to offline mode
But i havent not spawn died yet

Learning the maps isnt going to prevent me from spawn dying
This only happended to me once so far :o
Have you learned the spawns of the maps you are playing?
Knowing the map is a huge factor @mighty swift
just try not to
stand where you spawn
buyt relocate
and be wary of the other spawns
kuma the only way to learn is to play
Try to learn from it
Same here
"14jakejohn" in game
Im lvl6 wouldnt care either

Pmc or scav?
I have no idea
What map?
Factory
Well yea, no wonder
Dood no wonder
Jake and I are in a game rn
Factory is a fast map with action 24/7
Thats factory for you
No its ok

Play customs or else you die
And what gear are you going in with?
Is it off topic because he is asking for help?
lmao
Ye, I would recommend trying some other maps
I was dying bringing stuff in
Customs is really good to get a feeling for the game
factory is the worst map to begin on
Yeah I tried customs earlier, spawned into a team of 3 people xD
Im loading it rn though
hey kuma go to the quad foxtrot room
Learn the hot spots, where loot is, where people might be because of the loot etc. Dorms are always active in Customs
And people rush there
anyone thats wants to join a noob game go to quad fox
What is the best five seven ammo?
!ammo
what are the diffrences
with a small pen difference
1st value flesh damage
well, one has a slighty higher chance to penetrate (sb)
2nd penetration
and the other deals a bit more damage
!ammo
generally i run l191 on my 5-7's and p90s
can i get some advice on ragmans first interchange mission, i've been stuck on it for a couple weeks already and i have had a single run in which i've made it even inside the fucking mall. every single time i've either died straight up or killed enough people to make it dumb to risk it by going inside anymore
why my HERA ARMS CQR tactical grip wont fit to my remington?
i have RAGH 4inch installed
you need 6 inch
Gunsmith - Part 2 - I need 5 more Ergonomics anyone knows what to swap out ?
@unique willow try to hold 2nd floor as you enter and avoid being in open
@grave helm maybe empty mag
Yeah I think that solved it for me
for pk peacekeeping quest, i can bring a modded M4 right?
@strange mural yeah got it it was 50g to heavy, thanks
@potent atlas sounds like a solid plan, but the problem is that i literally cant even get inside the place
i've tried rushing inside but someone has always just sniped me before i got inside
and i have tried to camp outside until other people are already inside, but then i have just been killed by the entrance
from people camping inside
get everything of your body and run naked into it, you are faster than everyone @unique willow thats the easiest way or maybe get a pistol
@olive plover which task
wtf im stuck, is there anyway to get unstuck or smth
Does non golden name mean playerscav?
its player
can you craft a pile of meds?
single name is Scav guard/ Raider
So whats the difference when its golden?
EOD
Ah
golden is EOD PMC
single name scav - scav guard/scav boss
normal name - player pmc
name and second name - player scav/regular scav
golden name - player pmc with edge of darkness
two names is player scav, scav, scav guard of shturman/reshala
what?
I see
scav guards have two names?
some do
Svetloozerskiy
their surnames
Kachok Svetloozerskiy
Krysa Svetloozerskiy
Mels Svetloozerskiy
Pashok Svetloozerskiy
Robinzon Svetloozerskiy
Shmyga Svetloozerskiy
Toha Svetloozerskiy
Vovan Svetloozerskiy

What’s the best two ammos for Ak 74M again
How do I know what I should keep and what I should sell?
Thx
@mighty swift filter item on flea as you have
big oof
wall of things
is there a way to avoid killa
What am i looking at?
or does he inevitably hunt you down
all the items needed to complete all tasks
thelminas if you only go oli and idea you will avoid him.
kiba is his hunting ground
but if i enter in the middle he will hunted me down right?
hey i just got out of a scav raid could any1 say if anything is worth something or i should keep ill send screenshots in a dm
got alot of new items i saw first time so i need some help
just take everything
and check the quest item list
and what you need for hideout aswell
Why are some items white, and some items purple?
=.=
I just got tarkoved
ebic
@strange mural
@strange mural oh rip
maybe when christmas come/ or new years eve
i'll do 10-15m stuff away
here.
junkboxes cases and etc
we'll see
How do you fellas get all your insurance stuff in 1 inventory?
recieve all.
oke ty
hey umm is sugar any good?
sugar is worth money yes
is there a tool that is doing automatic purchase on fleamarket? cuz i notices that the items get bought almost immediatly after it unlocks
nah people are just doing the server clock trick abd spamming left click y
personally i found more success in just doing it once
you can't finetune your clock to make it perfect and you end up getting an error message saying that the offer isn't up yet
but if you go 1 second back the offer is bought
i dont know about that trick
i have a buddy who barely ever loses on anything and spent a long time doing it
!wiki customs
that will likely get you banned later on

they already said they will be resetting peoples accounts
for refueling fuel cans
so they'll ban ppl
because they tie stuff to system time in 2019?
that's my issue with BSG
they don't allow shit but they sure do take their sweet time going around making it unallowed
Have there always been land mines on shoreline
Nope. Added with 12
@strange mural seems like a feature to me
and i just happen to need to have my time set 3 seconds forward
I almost had a heart attack
what are some good attachments for hunter
do you know what scopes can fit?
do you know any good ammo for it
m80
nothing else
https://i.imgur.com/DYatYjL.png @brisk sail
it can have these mounts
the b-13 platform can have almost any scope on it
you can also put on a tt01
for some scopes
Should I keep drill and motor or do I just sell them?
If you got space you can keep that shit for hideout upgrades later on
I did a gamer moment 
https://i.imgur.com/1PimRCz.png
so uh is this just how monstrum is
with being like quite unclear on the edges
i just cant bring myself to like it
yeh i mean
das not de problemo
day time is fine
but

its just so big and unclear imo
anyone got a nice loot run? All the ones on yt are quite old
i went from 20k to 1.2m in about 2 hours with that
you got a specifil route?
do i have to have my grenade in my rig to be able to throw it
or can i have it in my pockets and it will be fine
pockets or rig
if i switch to EOD do i keep my levels as well as my levels with traders or is all of that reset as well?
oh
YOu just get new items in messenger
mad as
thanks
can someone tell me why the textures in high+ texture streaming look like crap ?
Anyone willing to run me through factory to complete delivery from the past and farming part 1? I've never played that map before.
@warm rover
so basically
they're high textures
but if VRAM is needed some textures will be given lower resolutions
to free up thevram
if you play without texture streaming the textures won't change
@frail portal it's incredibly simple
run around on offline
is snb good?
look for red flashing boxes on factory
whats an oil shelve
Ah yeah I assume it had something to do with changing the textures back and forth
is it a good idea to wait in customs under a stair till some time has passed to go to dorms 206?
@stable nova operation aquarius?
@bold kernel yes
well
well i also got the golden watch, but i hear gunfire from all over
and im hiding under a stairs now
pp-19-01
yeah but i need to extract the watch i think
why?
how long are ppl usually staying?
depends
anyway
i think your biggest issue
would be dying to a scav
you don't even have tier 2/3 armor
so you're very likely to get onetapped by AI
a paca and an Ssh would make that okay
^
for avoiding a hit or 3 from scabs maybe
ssh costs 18000 roubles
at least that's what the cheapest price was the last time i checked it
it's tier 3 but has enorgomous ricochet chances
as for armor
a paca / something tier 3 should do just fine for scav combat since they all use shit-tier ammo
you don't REALLY need armor, you just need to be the first one to shoot the person
but it doesn't really apply to ai because it's unpredictable
Does anyone know how to do the gunsmith pt 2 task
https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Gunsmith_-_Part_2
Not the correct result? Use !wiki page gunsmith part 2 for a direct link or !wiki search gunsmith part 2 for a list of all hits.
ok
Ebic
and if you really, really REALLY want to do the "best value build"
guess what you can do
deploy factory as scav, runthrough to the nearest exit, use scavs' items for free
that's real value
heh yeah
sometimes they even have tier 4 armored rigs
well i got some money, im doing interchange runs as scavs inbetween
but yeah i guess i should buy some armor aswell
@lyric storm by the way
that's what i did after losing a couple things at least until I'm less garbage lol
if you can't turn in the ak
fold the stock
cuz folding the stock counts towards the grid requirements
neat
holy fuck ive had killa 7 in a row tonight
whats a good gun to kill killa with when he has a helmet on?
running away
legmeta.jpg
cant leg meta with just any gun open field with killa
imma kill this bastard
do it to him
@stable nova are you still alive?
he runs from my nades tho
leg him as he runs
yes
hmm
im sitting in the toilet of dorms 2 now
hallway or store?
like a bullied child in school
do you understand how ammo and armor works in this game
yeah that's what i always do during breaks
well ammoa kinda, i have some table where it lists damage and pen
oh
armor not rly
wherever you can get some cover from his aim bot :p
well im playing eve online
well armor works just like the table says
aight im gonna go full out on my last loadout b4 broke
but i cant learn everything before playing 🙂
just remember those things
@frosty plinth what gun?
insure everything
wear headsets
wear armor
tier 4 should do fine against players
anything lower you might run into issues
and helmets also have a ricochet chance
so even a shit tier helmet might save your life
what do you mean with ricochet chance for helmets?
there's not much saving you from being shot inbetween the eyes though, if the armor isn't visually there it doesn't do shit
hence why ppl use faceplates
it's a chance
for a helmet to ricochet a bullet
bypassing it's damage
ah ok
you gonna get a bit of a headache though
i get hit so rarely in the back of my head any helmet without a faceshield doesnt seem worth it to me
@stable nova yeah but you should really REALLY use headsets
always
they increase yourhearing radius
make ambient sounds quieter
and make important sounds louder
argh
idk thats a preference thing, headsets annoy me i prefer to not use them lol
all doors are rubberbanding
afterwhat distance does the end of game screen display longest shot
whats going on
I suck at this game
same
@stable nova ping
me too thanks
i mostly dont like how loud my own footsteps feel
I agree headsets are preference based but as a new player you 100% need to wear them until you know the maps/player movements/positioning down.
man when your playing in the rain, finding a scav with goggles/sunglasses
once you need the footsteps less, then I say you make that call
helps so much
it just doesnt feel right to me in general i feel like i play better without them
if your using headsets, one of the things I've learned is, after you do anything, like loot, or heal, or reload, or get into a firefight, or move
Stop and wait a second and just listen
esp if your in a high traffic area
that's where the headsets really really shine
i love how many ppl play tarkov now
only the bad headsets make them mega loud
No reason to keep sv-98's in stash when mosins exist ya?
there is.
uh
easier scopes
ive tried sordin , comtac, and pro series or whatever its called and my footsteps were annoyingly loud on all of them...
cheaper silencers
than this old ass gun
and cheaper
ye
the only real benefit i see in mosin
is that it's safer when it comes to ammo
you load every bullet individually instead of having a mag so you can put your bullets into your alpha container
and pull them out
but the money loss is so minor on that
oh yeah sv is also better to reload
it doesn't really matter
Does leveling prone skill give any benefit? I see I get XP and some benefits, but not available in BETA....
@clever lichen no
"not really" or no
no
or not at all
IS NO
you do get benefits if you just prone for
:)
a hundred hours
lol
aren't m700's used more than sv-98's?
So, the benefits do add ?
diffrent ammo timax
@strange mural u literally don't it's locked away
that is also why i am confused
prone also seems to help the gun from drifting when ADS
prior to shouting, read the entire message or stop trying to help people
I just have too many snipers in my stash lol
the skill is locked in beta yet you get advancement
sv98 is great
@clever lichen he was in game man, he didn't mean to
i will say though, the moment you start to pick up optics, this game changes a lot lol
:)
even a vepr non-hunter with optics, it's insane how much easier everything becomes
because people choose to ignore my answers
i don't see a reason for you to crouchwalk over proning though
scopes
i did not ignore your answer at all
although lately I've been running a vepr hunter with a decent assault scope
and wowza
boys quit it
Let's move on
drilling people so far out is fun
you are a jerk for shouting an answer at someone asking a question that recieved two different answers
you shouldn't deliberatery move around in a certain way
hunter is great because m80 is op
both of you
just because it gives you softskill benefits
when i am told two different answers from people i trust and know equally
i dont take yours for granted
going prone
is benifitial in some situations
which is why i believe you to be a jerk

^
flat out, as a new player, it's either run a vepr hunter with M80, or a mosin, I dunno why you'd run anything else
screw helping ppl tbh
they are super high value!
I like the VKM and all and it's a great gun
Im really broke.
@solemn pike scav runs
but..m80 in a hunter
really broke.
holy cow
@solemn pike scav runs!
I do love a good hunter
and if you get intelligence station lvl 1 which is pretty cheap
you only have to wait 15 mins for it
afaik
I like my VKM with the Eko optic
Im trying to run Interchange with a TT pistol and 3 mags.
and a 30 round mag, as abackup for my hunter
This game is really frustrating if you suck.
!ammo
yes it is
Captain, don't do that
but it gets better
scav run interchange, grab free loot and leave
esp if you start playing with other people
then buy a cheap kit for pmc, not pistol
keep an eye on the timer when you go in as scav on interchange
you might spawn early
I still don't fully understand scav runs
i keep going cause you keep asking why youre a jerk..
what time do I need to leave a scav run to not get a run thru?
not mad at all
@clever lichen do you understand what let it go means?
@pseudo mural you need a certain amount of EXP
jesus
dude, Kebab has been a valuable person in here for the past 4-5 days and doesn't seem to be continuing 😦
not sure why you're keeping going calling him names
Kebab, so it doens't matter period?
yes.
Okay sweet
you don't keep your scav exp
you can level softskills on your scav however
oh wait I thought of another one
like endurance and stuff
is the gear I see on the screen when selecting scav/Pmc
yes
what I get in game as a scav?
it's the gear you'll get
okay
Do those levels stay even if the scav dies?
yes
cuz only having a pistol changes which map I run
im pretty sure you cant level pmc softskills on scav...
no
Oh. Oh.
but you can level scav softskills
if I only have a pistol I run interchange
your scav and pmc are two separate entities
yeah scav has its own skills
which is what i'm saying
scavs have their own skills
dude last night on a scav run, I had no intention of surviving
basically
I ended up with 5 PMC kills
thought it was obvious
and 11 scav kills
its not obvious to a new player
and extracted
you need to be specific
ok you're being annoying now
I had so many backpacks that it was like a russian nesting doll
I left fully modded vepr hunters(a gun I strive for)
its not obvious to a new player, sorry bud
There is no need for this chat to be contentious. No need
i literally said "on your scav"
@bold kernel take 5
that doesnt specify what we are talking about man lol
we need some parents in here
Bruh what's going on
expect that it literally does.
@frosty plinth yeah i just don't like people taking things i say out of context
@pseudo mural that's a hell of a scav run
ya i had like...15k exp
im not taking anything out of context, it literally can be easily misunderstood
Kebab: what you said was not clear from a new players POV
wish it woulda been a pmc run
that's it
Stop arguing it mate
oh I managed to complete my skier 3m module armor quest in 2 scav runs
please keep bringing it up though
it was great
also...earlier on dorms I was looting all the dead PMC's, and one of em I tried to loot and he stood up and shot me in the face 🙂
it was pretty funny
ya man, I managed to get 3 in one raid
but could only take two out 🙂
next raid, I just ran around to all the scav spawn spots and found 2 more
today is the day...I organize this god damn stash
Haha, I sold almost everything I had except for my hunters/pmc gear
I need room for scav runs!
:p
wish me luck guys im hunting down killa
gl
unscoped mosin is powerful tho 😛
When I use scope on mosin I get a delayed shot. And die allot
I hate all iron sights
I’m gonna do some. Interchange in 20 if anyone wants a few casual runs
i could do it for u if i could
haha appreciate it, It was mostly bad due to laziness and just dumping everything anywhere
starting to look better now
Better? in what way
factory is a very handy - but limited use key for customs/factory
should i keep bleach
are you level 5?
6
im in game rn pog
hey guys reddit is down but wheres the ammo chart again?
ty
thats updated from the patch like last week right?
@kebap thx for the gear advices
@knotty finch ya
@stable nova np
5 minutes in is not camping
won't help you much if you die like me
makes a good difference with armor and headset
@woeful stratus he rushed bridge to camp
whats the better 556 x45 ammo to use now with the m4a1?
they are fair
i just wasted like 50k to unlock the workbench, but now i have muh weapon modding so it was worth it :p
even at lvl 6?
i opened my work bench last night
I'd say don't go crazy at the start, but workbench is important
adam, I wouldn't run 995 at your level quite yet, it's legit costly
A1's are both good
workbench is the most important thing
i just saw that lol
I feel like the hideout aint important for everyone, like i tell players, if you’re gonna play 1 day a week, dont bother upgrading hideout, keep the money to enjoy the game! But if you’re a regular player, than invest
@small perch fair point
!wiki Customs
Yeah, cause honnestly, it is expensive haha
@strange mural 😉
its a massive time sink
It is !
and for it to pay itself back you need to play a LOT
ive played everyday since ive gotten this game
i have 170 hours in and ive only recently started getting into the feeling that i want to get into hideouts
i love it but hate it at times lol
stash total is like 20m
im not 170 hrs yet
im the type of player to
want to make his "account" as great as i can
so i upgraded to ice pick and sicc
instead of working on the stuff like quests or hideout too much
ice pick was my best investment so far
i swear to god some ppl just sit on objectives and camp them @atomic ice time
jesus
it's actually better to do objectives at daytime
lmao
woah look at this guy
he'll probably say he's sorry for having his nickname
lol
ive only been playing after work
adam, you're doing great then, focus on completing tasks
they will help a lot both with xp and with the traders
i just finished 1 task yesturday trying to finish another in just a sec
honest opinion as ive started:
tasks are the #1 objective
by far nothing else is as important
yep
leave them on backburn
most will be finished as you do other
or you can do them later
COUGH JAEGER COUGH
I'm not excited about sitting dehydrated for 5min, is there a trick to it? or just bring ALL the meds
Fûck customs honestly
yep
i pick 1 thing to do for hideout find everything while i work on task as well
@round ridge preach
just eat a can of mayo tim
@frosty plinth you can bring a propital and it will do most of the healing
you can even die after
ty @long spear !

i got to go to customs 1 more time for my quest
you can just get to close to extract. sit in bush, drink a can of mayo
Fuck woods
awww, now woods I love
it can be bullshit though
I feel like everytime I go there there’s some lowlife plebs sitting on rocks just sniping with silencers
if you get spotted before you spot them
Not to mention the zb 014 or whatever sucks ass
Or everytime I’ve gone I’ve gotten shit
!wiki farming part 3
https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Farming_-_Part_3
Not the correct result? Use !wiki page farming part 3 for a direct link or !wiki search farming part 3 for a list of all hits.
oh great
now i have to go there for both farming part 3 AND delivery from the past

anybody want to run customs with me ? lol
what task you on?
the first one for prapor i have to kill 1 more scav lol
have you done your salewa kits for the therapist?
@sullen thicket i’ll be on later, i wouldnt mind helping you out 🙂
and teammates have killed me alot
Xd
who have you been teaming with!?
Have you been inviting those random guys on group list
the sad part is some friends
Oof
oof is right
Better comms
@sullen thicket did you complete the salewa kits task?
yes i didi that yesturday
so you need the dorms water task too, ya?
lmao true
@sullen thicket do you still need the dorms water task as well?
eventho i am a total noob i found he will offer more money when selling stuff
what is a wipe and when is the next one?
NA sherpa preping for raids. Lemme know if your lookin for help learning game. 👋
@frosty plinth i havent got to that task yet
@sullen thicket not really
Go to the resort
aahh ok
@lapis shale resort for HOT loot/lots of locked doors/lots of PMC action. Village is less hot
anyone use rip rounds here before?
ye
shoreline has a bunch of random root spots on the ground too
barrels
but..they aren't random iirc
surprised killa survived my rip rounds
@sullen thicket I'd take MrT up on his offer! I was going to go with you but he will be a better teacher lol
theres a youtube video of it up where you can find em, i make most of my scav money hitting them
@bold kernel when you starting ?
Launching my game now... should only need a couple minutes to sort out where to go and what to bring
DM me and i'll invite you to my VC's
what vc ?
Unlucky I guess
There are a lot of spots in shoreline where there are loot that isn't resort
yellow/green house in swamp, buried barrels and caches, double loot, scav island/pier/gas station, terminal and power plant
gun house and the hut
When is next wipe?
there is a video I can link you to show you weere the buried barrels are noypi, want me to do that?
lol i'm stupid, i was scaving in interchange tech store, some guy comes up from behind me not noticing me. For some reason i think he's a scav, he notices me and shreds my ass
@kind thunder We wipe when there is a big content update. Last wipe was a month or 2 ago. Last wipe before that was 9 months prior. Next wipe is TBD. I'd guess not for another 3 - 4 months.
best way I know is to launder it through flea
oh mad
should i sell stuff to the traders to get the most money or focus more on boosting ll?
depends on if you want to boost a trader or not
well
it is
many times you can get a better deal out of a vendor than on flea
some people specialize on buying stuff from lvl2 vendors
and reselling on flea with an extra price
Im finding leveling em up keeps me interested
most barter goods you can sell for more money on flea
I keep say to much junk
