Yes you go back to the day you bought the game and level 1

#

We all do

#

Wipes are important.

#

Game dies without wipe

bold kernel
#

O

#

Wait what about the hide out

brazen owl
#

Reset as well

waxen forge
#

EVERYTHING RESETS

desert hull
#

resets as if you just bought the game

#

only exception is skills

#

you may retain skills, sometimes

#

My dumbass was building first when I started playing thinking this was like dayz Nd I can get robbed

#

Lmfao

#

What a waste of time and resources 🤣

brazen owl
#

Haha well me too, the first thing I checked was if Security was necessary

desert hull
#

?

#

What is a waste? @bold kernel

waxen forge
#

Hideouts has benefits. I wouldn't call it waste of time

desert hull
#

Hideout is about the opposite of waste

bold kernel
#

Me building my hide out right away

waxen forge
#

Use the wiki.....look shit up

#

Learn to fish not be given fish

bold kernel
#

Security was like 20k

#

And etc

desert hull
#

yeah thats not a waste

#

and idk how that correlates with looting in game

bold kernel
#

I started playing 2 days ago

desert hull
#

20k aint shit

#

20k is 2 bolts

#

or 2 screw nuts

bold kernel
#

For me it is

#

First lesson. Use the wiki

desert hull
#

its a lot cause you ain't surviving

#

once you learn to survive it isn't

waxen forge
#

Look up tasks, look up thing you want to know

#

use wiki maps

bold kernel
#

Takes for ever I'm trying to learn maps

desert hull
#

play offline

unique willow
#

why you gotta ruin mansp fun, if he feels like 20k is much then it is for him and even if its not for you it doesnt matter

desert hull
#

with scavs enable

bold kernel
#

They gave me a link last night for maps so gonna try now

desert hull
#

@unique willow nobody is doing that

#

don't get triggered

bold kernel
#

@steady pilot I forgot what Night Vision i put on the 6b47

#

Which was that? D:

barren kiln
#

is a pistol case worth it

brazen owl
#

MansP its better to focus on 1 or 2 maps by the start @bold kernel

barren kiln
#

for the mags and pistols

unique willow
#

yonko

#

no

waxen forge
#

No. Pistol case kinda junk

gleaming gulch
#

no

waxen forge
#

I sell mine

desert hull
#

@barren kiln sure

#

it's 15k

gray mountain
barren kiln
#

15k?

desert hull
#

if you want to store pistols there is no reason to not buy a pistol case

barren kiln
#

its like 100

desert hull
#

no, 15k

barren kiln
#

oh nmvm

#

sure then ill buy

bold kernel
#

@gray mountain is it the 10t dovetail adapter?

gray mountain
#

yes

steady pilot
#

Yeah

desert hull
#

it has room for 6 1x2 pistols

#

dont store mags

bold kernel
#

ok ok

steady pilot
#

@bold kerneluse linked search

#

It's your friend

#

Whe. You linked search it shows item that connects to it

bold kernel
#

But its fucked me over alot 😦

waxen forge
#

How?

steady pilot
#

How so

#

It's very very useful

bold kernel
#

People told me to link search my gun... And i didnt even find what i was looking for and i looked for a good 20 minutes :/

steady pilot
#

Because you need to link search the other parts

#

Not just the weapon

bold kernel
#

That they didnt tell me 😐

steady pilot
#

So if you need a muzzle

#

You search the ar barrel

bold kernel
#

How do you link search

brazen owl
#

must be lvl 5

waxen forge
#

Right click and Linked search

barren kiln
#

Why not mags @desert hull

steady pilot
#

Aks dont have barrel options hence why you can find muzzles

waxen forge
#

However I think you need to be 5 so the Flea is open to you

bold kernel
#

O

#

Yeah I cant do that

#

Lol

brazen owl
#

just level up

desert hull
#

@barren kiln mags arent worth saving

brazen owl
#

do tasks with the traders

desert hull
#

buy them when they're needed

steady pilot
#

@bold kernel so yeah if it's an attachment that adds to a mod, you have to linked search it.

#

OR

waxen forge
#

You can get to 5 by examining shit with all traders and running 1 raid

unique willow
#

basic 30round mags are not what you want to save if you are having space issues

bold kernel
#

I bought the shit individually, but all i had to buy was the TATM ........

waxen forge
#

Never hoard mags

#

Sell mags

bold kernel
#

and it was all there?

unique willow
#

unless you got mag boxes

waxen forge
#

You can buy mags when you go to use the weapon

unique willow
#

then sure

barren kiln
#

@waxen forge thanks

#

wait mag boxes are a thing

unique willow
#

yes

bold kernel
#

Like my brain cant process whats happening

waxen forge
#

I find mag boxes to be waste of money.

steady pilot
#

@bold kernel I highly recommend unlocking this so you can mod weapons for free. It will teach you compatibility without buying parts. However you have to have examined it to see the parts.

📎 unknown-89.png 📎 unknown-68.png
unique willow
#

ammo boxes, food crates, med crates, weapon crates

waxen forge
#

I just keep a few spare mags in a tac rig and sell the rest.....then buy mags for the weapon when I plan to run it.

#

Once you open up flea spend time examining everything (EXCEPT KEYS).

#

Once examined you will be able to use the edit preset thing

#

Also won't spend time examining in raid which is time taken that can get you killed

#

Also I DO NOT examine keys ahead of time that way when I find a key in raid I know if I have it or not by if it's examined.

bold kernel
#

Ok @steady pilot I just constructed it.. what now?

#

Nevermind found it

#

Slurp

#

Lemme yoink that when I'm doing a pistol run

steady pilot
#

That scope is too much

#

If you're a new player

#

You won't like it

formal laurel
#

sell it lol

steady pilot
#

I recommend a tac30 or vudu scope

formal laurel
#

Put a specter or 1x 6x

steady pilot
#

Assault scopes work too

bold kernel
#

Is there a grenade case for in your stash?

steady pilot

No

silver dome

Tragic

iCase is your best bet

whats the price

#

u can put anything in an iCase right?

gleaming gulch

steady pilot

Yes

bold kernel

Too poor for an iCase

steady pilot

It's like 1.2m

gleaming gulch

Manageable

Maybe for you @steady pilot not everyone get out with 600-700k worth of stuff in interchange 😉

gleaming gulch

Interchange is a money maker

silver dome

no it isnt

#

theres barely any chances of a gpu spawning

gleaming gulch

Then you aint doing it right

silver dome
#

and there are no marked rooms

steady pilot
#

@small perch literally that excuse can be used for any map

silver dome
#

also u get killed when killa finds u

waxen forge
#

@silver dome this is one of those situations when you have no idea what you are talking about and look foolish

steady pilot

Interchange is just the easiest place

frosty plinth

Marked rooms are a complete coin flip

silver dome

If you dint believe you can or improve you never will.

@silver dome why are you so constantly antagonistic in this chat

You come in beginners assistance

Ask for help

And then antagonize

??

well i did ask for help , untill u made fun of my akms

Because its worse than an akm

Then sell it and buy akm for same price lmao

which map has the best loot

steady pilot

👌

silver dome

customs

cerulean charm

for scav

silver dome

ionter

change

cerulean charm
#

customs sucks

steady pilot
#

@cerulean charm interchange

silver dome
#

customs sucks as a scav when u have no keys

unique willow
#

for scav id say shoreline

steady pilot
#

Shorline has horrible loot spawns

#

You just loot scavs

#

That's it

cerulean charm
#

on shoreline I get mad fps drops

silver dome
#

\nick

#

yep

#

i get bad fps

#

on shorline

#

probably never gonna play shoreline

cerulean charm
#

but is interchange also good for pmc

steady pilot
#

You dont have any keys on a scav to warrant shorline

#

@cerulean charmyyes you just have to be careful early on

cerulean charm
#

for a beginner

cyan cape
#

What does ergonomics do on your gun

steady pilot
#

I learned on interchange way back when

gleaming gulch
#

Interchange can be good for both pmc and scav

silver dome
#

quicker ads

waxen forge
#

Shoreline has good loot but most of the best loot in in resort and it's locked + is a high traffic area so death possible

steady pilot
#

@cyan capeads speed and how much stamina used while ads

cerulean charm
#

but is it good for beginners aswell? @gleaming gulch

steady pilot
#

The better the ergo the better

#

@cerulean charm yes dude

#

You just need to be careful about hot spots

cyan cape
#

Aight thx

gleaming gulch
#

@cerulean charm Yeah it’s a pretty easy map to learn

waxen forge
#

Interchange has dozens of weapons crates, 4 tech stores, 3 med stations, and dozens of PC's and it's all unlocked

cerulean charm
#

okay I will learn it then

steady pilot
#

Such as tech stores and oli

#

Those arehotzones

gleaming gulch
#

@cerulean charm Start learning it in offline mode

cyan cape
#

Also what mods effect recoil

steady pilot
#

Muzzle brakes

cerulean charm
#

so I should play pmc on it first?

steady pilot
#

Handguards

#

Stocks

cerulean charm
#

or should I learn it as a scav first

pseudo mural
#

you don't need keys to make shoreline profitable.

#

there are 37 underground barrels and caches spread around the map.

gleaming gulch
#

Scav if you want but offline mode on pmc works aslo

waxen forge
#

We are saying for CONSISTENT loot with minimal risk Interchange is best. Not that other maps can't make good loot.

How did you guys get mechanic to lvl 2? I don't see a way to spend 1 million rubles on him

steady pilot

@pseudo mural but people with toasters cant play the map

frail forum

i should keep wilston cigs for the quest right?

steady pilot
#

@frail forumyeah 7

waxen forge
#

Yes

frail forum
#

heard they're the hardest to find

pseudo mural
#

minimal risk with good loot=shoreline cache/barrel. I've yet to run into a isngle player in 14 raids

steady pilot
#

Loot caches have tons of wilstons

pseudo mural
#

toasters can play interchange but not woods?

steady pilot
#

Woods is much more optimized

#

I promise

#

After several wipes

#

And my game time

#

Shoreline is the worst

waxen forge
#

Yes Shoreline runs like shit

cyan cape
#

How do you not get sniped in woods

#

It’s actually so annoying

pseudo mural
#

Okay, if you don't have a toaster, shorelines is decent with minimal risk

cerulean charm
steady pilot
#

@cyan cape stay away from the shore and open fields

gleaming gulch
#

@bold kernel Just sell mags and weapon parts to him

steady pilot
#

Literally it

pseudo mural
#

thats shoreline resort

waxen forge
#

You will get sniped at times but knowing where to move, when to move, when to listen will reduce it.

ooh

hmm alright

I was in the woods and I got shot from like 200 meters

Unless you live in Alaska have you ever been outside at 11pm?

Was it dark?

#

Kinda same here

gray mountain

I was thinking more of the game light in the game

#

its usually almsot as light as day in there

How bright the night is will depend on if moon is out, clouds, and weather.

Its dusk at like 2100

@unique willow did you check the wiki

I was so hyped because of that bug xD Cause i thought i got hard profit AGAIN xd

no because this is easier if anyone would know straight up

ok i'll change my strat on custom, i'll just sit still 5 minutes on my spawn, this is the second time I find another pmc in 20 seconds, and its always this same spawn, south of military base

thats what I tell all new players to do

stop trying to rush

stop trying to run towards gunshots

opal jungle

welp now im salty

literally just slow down and take note of whats going on

bold kernel

Stupied question
Noob question coming in

desert hull

stand near your spawn for 10 minutes and hear how the raid is playing out

opal jungle
#

some ***** just camped powerstation proned and waited for me lmao

brazen owl
#

in some maps i've had success, such as interchange, rushing certain places like the escalators near OLI

#

but customs is such a hell to me

desert hull
#

its just not a good idea

gray mountain
#

I swear, Ive spent over a million just to try and do this damn quest

steady pilot
#

I also tell new players to know when to hold your shot. If you think you cant kill someone dont expose yourself.

desert hull
#

unless you are very experienced

#

and know spawns/timings

#

timings is a very advanced thing to learn

#

and until you know them its dumb to be mega aggressive early in the raid

#

the KEY thing every new player needs to learn

brazen owl
#

i'll play slower

desert hull
#

is that this is NOT a PvP game

#

you do not need to take fights

steady pilot
#

@gray mountain get a friend from #pvp-lfg or message a sherpa. They can knock any quest out with you in 1 easy raid.

desert hull
#

you can literally never fire a shot at another PMC and have a successful raid

#

I constantly let PMCs pass me if I think they're too geared to fight compared to me

gray mountain
#

Gonna give it 1 last damn night time raid

desert hull
#

or I might let someone leave an area before I enter it

gray mountain
#

and then I'll give up

zealous forge
#

Ok but what about getting fucked be a duo that finds you?

desert hull
#

then you let yourself be found

steady pilot
#

Play smarter

#

Learn from your mistake

it always comes down to a mistake you made

gray mountain

and sometimes shoot better

#

And players are sweaty with nvgs or sneaking

desert hull
#

idk if scavs actually have less spawns

#

but night can be easier

#

depends on your luck and sevrer

brazen owl
#

Well I feel like night can be a clusterfuck because of thermals and etc

desert hull
#

if you get on quieter servers with ppl just looting and doing quests its ez

steady pilot
#

Just do a daytime raid with suppressed weapon

desert hull
#

if you get into a sweaty NVG server good luck

brazen owl
#

alright i'll add a supress

steady pilot
#

Suppressed weapon is all that really matters

#

Cause exposure

#

Also a weapon that takes out scavs easy

#

Typically 762+ caliber

brazen owl
#

gotta use AK-74U

#

prapor quest

steady pilot
#

Good luck.

bold kernel
#

Problem is I only ever do solos

#

With some duos in the weekends usually

#

And then I end up stacking a million pog guns in my stash

waxen forge
#

Solo is a totally viable way to play as long as you play correctly.

steady pilot
#

Solo play with a vss

#

Is so pog

bold kernel
#

I know I know, it just makes me not want to take out good gear

steady pilot
#

Thing is

#

You dont need good gear

#

You have way less risk for exposure

bold kernel
#

Yeah true

desert hull
#

solos have advantages that squads dont

steady pilot
#

You can be sneaky and quiet where as squads are loud and zoomy

desert hull
#

you have better hearing, by a lot

steady pilot
#

^

desert hull
#

you are usually more focused

#

and you have the benefit of having a small footprint

bold kernel
#

But then I'd extract with pog loot and put it in my stash to never take it out kek

waxen forge
#

Solo there is no hesitation of should I shoot or is that my teammate

desert hull
#

that too

#

can't stand squads where I have to ask somebody if thats them

#

usually after they make it a habit of getting into positions where I have to ask that

#

I'll just shoot next to them

#

to wake them up

strange mural
#

then they fire back

#

thinking you are an enemy

desert hull
#

then I kill them

#

but no I just don't let them see me do it

#

and then tell them it was me lol

steady pilot
#

I mean

#

Cant wait fore that to backfire

frail forum
#

yay i havent extracted from a single pmc raid today lmao

#

lost 4 loadouts i think

steady pilot
#

In our squad if you fire at one of us you better kill us, cause we take you down

#

Like friendly fire can sometimes be stopped in time other wise its returned and not for the better

#

But it's rare for our group anyway we know how to operate together lol

brazen owl
#

i see every group does it differently

steady pilot
#

Our main call for if we are unsure if a friendly is muzzle up

#

If your weapon isnt aiming at god in .5 seconds you probably will die

brazen owl
steady pilot
#

It's usually by the second call

#

Not in .5 seconds I was meming.

#

But it do be like that.

unique willow
#

why has no one told me you can mod an ak this cheap to be so good, i have an m4 worth 200k that has more recoil than this

📎 unknown.png
brazen owl
#

AK superior weapon

steady pilot
#

Ak cheap

#

Also bullets kinda dookier

unique willow
#

bs aint

steady pilot
#

Its not

brazen owl
#

for non native english speaker

#

dookier is bad right

#

?

steady pilot
#

But it's more expensive than m855a1

unique willow
#

yea but m855a1 is not incredible either

steady pilot
#

It works pretty well

gray mountain
#

Are quest items shared?

unique willow
#

you should be comparing it to m995

#

and maybe bt to m855a1

steady pilot
#

545 doesnt have any rounds 40 pen plus besides bs

#

Igolnik is trash and should be ignored

waxen forge
#

If it's a task specific item like the bronze watch then it is there for everyone no matter how many picked it up before you

steady pilot
#

As long as its 40 pen you're golden.

#

Hell a vss is 55k with zero recoil and has 3 rounds withb43+ pen

#

Try that on for size

#

Sp-6 is cheap

gray mountain
#

I fucking hate my life

steady pilot
#

Same

gray mountain
#

I died when I was so clsoe

steady pilot
gray mountain
#

I also just realised that I have 2 quests in customs

#

Need to get the golden zibbo aswell

#

so I got that

#

got across the water close to the customs area

#

and missed all my shots on a guy

lyric storm
#

Bruh I swear I have the worse luck

steady pilot
#

@gray mountain you can spend time getting mad about it or analyze what you did wrong. I would do the analyze part if you want to get better. Backtrack and see what you could of done to prevent that.

lyric storm
#

I died because the fucken game lagged on me

#

And I couldn't hide on time from a scav

gray mountain
#

I could have not missed my shots

#

because it didnt seem like he knew I was there

waxen forge
#

Or not fired

#

If it wasn't an ideal situation

gray mountain
#

It was an easy shot

steady pilot
#

Ahhh so you could of taken time to make the shot?

gray mountain
#

he was running towards me

#

Yeah

waxen forge
#

Was it necessary since you were doing a task

steady pilot
#

If he was unawares you should of waited till he stopped running

gray mountain
#

He was running towards me from where I was going

#

Like 15m away

steady pilot
#

That is the best time to kill.

gray mountain
#

maybe he didnt have nvgs on

#

I didnt know

#

So I just took the shot

steady pilot
#

With

#

What

gray mountain
#

SKS

steady pilot
gray mountain
#

and then I swapped to the TR

#

TX?

#

and he jsut sprayed me down

steady pilot
#

He was probably armored

waxen forge
#

My guess is you may have hit with first shot but fired too quickly and the rest of the SKS shots were in the air over his head

steady pilot
#

7x39nwont take down without bp

cerulean charm
#

Why is there only PMC exits on interchange map on wiki

#

I can't find scav exits

waxen forge
#

Because scav and PMC use same exfil

gray mountain
#

Yeah, I brought SKS to just make sure I didnt die in dorms vs scavs

cerulean charm
#

ooh

gleaming gulch
#

Scav and pmcs share extracts

cerulean charm
#

alright

steady pilot
#

In IC

#

They do

#

Except v ex

gray mountain
#

I hit 5-6 bullets

#

still didnt die fuck

steady pilot
#

Did you have BP

gray mountain
#

no

#

I cheaped out

#

PS

steady pilot
#

See

waxen forge
#

There u go

gleaming gulch
#

Thats the problem

gray mountain
#

Yes I know

steady pilot
#

I'll say it again

#

Cheap gun is ok

#

Cheap bullets are not

#

Good bullet is life or death

gray mountain
#

Thats the sole reason Im angry as well

gleaming gulch
gray mountain
#

I had BP loaded

#

unloaded it

#

and swapped them before raid

steady pilot
gray mountain
#

I was cheaping out on armor as well

steady pilot
#

That BP that cost 30k could have made you 300k

gray mountain
#

so didnt wanna get one tapped with BP ammo on me

steady pilot
#

The ends justify the means

unique willow
#

so generally as a scav, if you even think that the enemy has even tier 1 armor. you are most likely better off just giving them a proper foot massage

steady pilot
#

Probably

#

Unless you can leg or face shot

unique willow
#

yea i ment legshots

waxen forge
#

What is your goal? If you are there to loot and have shitty scav weapon/ammo then loot and avoid fights. If you are just there to fight then take the fight and see what happens.

gray mountain
#

Yeah but I mean Ive spent more than 1m already, I was just gonna try and run from point to point to point

@shadow raventhhe worst

shadow raven
#

Cuz its a tracer?

steady pilot
#

Its 762 PS or BP

waxen forge
#

No cuz it sux

steady pilot
#

No inbetween

gray mountain
#

because it doesnt penetrate armor

shadow raven
#

Oh.

steady pilot
#

I mean

#

762 PS doesnt pen either

#

It does up to lvl 3

#

But will struggle higher

gray mountain
#

But will still kill pot helms

steady pilot
#

Which is

gray mountain
#

lvl 3

steady pilot
#

Ayy

gray mountain
#

and many people cheap out on helms

#

At least from what I usually see

#

./encounter

steady pilot
#

The best helm is no helm

#

👌

gray mountain
#

lol

steady pilot
#

Helmets are money sinks

#

Earn one for free

waxen forge
#

Like I say the number of times I've been saved by a "good" helmet is far outnumbered by the times I've died wearing one.

steady pilot
#

You will likely die face shot

#

Or overpenning round

waxen forge
#

So I really don't worry about them

steady pilot
#

^

#

However armor

#

Importsnt

waxen forge
#

^

desert hull
#

I get saved by helmets a lot now

steady pilot
#

Tactec saved my life so much

desert hull
#

because I use cover a certain way

lyric storm
#

I just bought a very nice fast MT helmet from fence

steady pilot
#

If you have a helmet it's better than none

#

I will agree

lyric storm
#

Good durability and a mandible

waxen forge
#

Probably overpaid for it

lyric storm
#

Yeah I kinda did

steady pilot
#

But it will only save you against scavs

#

Pmcs will open your noggin right up

waxen forge
#

And you will likely die wearing it and it will not have been a factor in your death

lyric storm
#

I just need protection against scavs

#

I'll run away from any PMC

#

I'm that much of a pussy

steady pilot
#

Just run and wait for them to chase

#

Let them pass you and shoot in back

lyric storm
#

Bruh they usually come in duos

waxen forge
#

Tactics

steady pilot
#

Then grenade

lyric storm
#

I rarely see a solo guy in my server

#

My tactic is literally run the fuck away

steady pilot
#

Duos are the strongest thing in the game

#

I will say

#

But

#

They can be bad too

#

Like you could literally flash them sometimes

lyric storm
#

Nah

steady pilot
#

And nade/mow down

waxen forge
#

yea show them your dick...that'll distract them

lyric storm
#

The duos I usually meet are coordinated

#

Except that one time

steady pilot
#

Of course they are

#

One person flanks and one holds

shadow raven
#

Ok so, im having a shit time dying every round and cant gain xp. Any tips?

waxen forge
#

Keep at it

shadow raven
#

Im level 9, trying to hit level 10

steady pilot
#

@shadow raven learn from deaths and mistakes. Everyone goes through it

waxen forge
#

Tarkov is brutal when you start. What you describe sounds typical.

lyric storm
#

Bruh that's why I said I'll run away from any pmc

waxen forge
#

Don't take a fight if you don't need to or are at a disadvantage.

steady pilot
#

Check pestily or deadslob beginner guides honestly. Or have a sherpa guide you with tips

shadow raven
#

Im not new-new

#

I played 0.11

steady pilot
#

And to that I say

#

Just kidding.

shadow raven
#

I just want to go from incompetent dead weight to passable teammate.

frosty plinth
#

you can farm scavs with silenced guns really easily for xp

silver dome
#

lol

waxen forge
#

Pacing, placement, ammo, decision making, listening,

silver dome
#

farm scavs

shadow raven
#

Ill point out that i was level 6 when i stopped in 0.11

steady pilot
#

Okay yeah you're new

#

New new.

shadow raven
#

I mean new new as in literally just started playing today

steady pilot
#

Nothing wrong with being new

waxen forge
#

Go to Overall Tab...Look at top right. How many hours it say?

steady pilot
#

You are just going through the same pains as any new person

shadow raven
#

waxen forge
#

This game takes Hours to learn and improve

strange mural
#

120 hours at level6 and level 10what

waxen forge
#

Record yourself. Watch it back after. See what you missed.

steady pilot
#

@shadow raven seriously hire a sherpa

#

Their advice is impeccable

shadow raven
#

Out of 43 raids ive done 43 raids, 12 successful 31 failed. Ive left a request but not gotten an answer.

steady pilot
#

Then message madiakz

#

He is head sherpa

#

Or gtb the head mod

#

They will help you

acoustic timber

steady pilot
#

They are at your disposal for learning

lyric storm
#

Alright time to go interchange and die again

#

Just how I like it

shadow raven
#

I know my bad eyesight and colour blindness are part of my problem, but im trying to fight through it and its painful.

shadow raven

Thats all they want to do. And some of them are brand new and are doing really damn well.

Fits all things classified as loot

loot = barter items

loud wagon

so things with blue background

upbeat flax

Zareba, what do you count as a scope?

loud wagon
#

not weapons, mags, ammo, backpacks, meds

upbeat flax
#

do you mean sight in general or scope?

loud wagon
#

Well i want reddot on it, a belomo maybe or whatever and then the Flir IRS on

so Flir IRS as main scope

upbeat flax

alright.

give me a minute

loud wagon

loud wagon

what is the handguard

upbeat flax
loud wagon
#

ohhh

#

thanks 😄

upbeat flax
#

no probs.

#

anything else?

loud wagon
#

how did you attach the grip ? 😮

#

4inch or 6 inch ?

upbeat flax
#

4 inch CASV for the flashlight/laser and 6inch CASV for the fortis shift grip

loud wagon
#

would the RK-1 or RK-2 be better

upbeat flax
#

i'm guessing you'll be staying somewhat long range

#

in that case. Ergo > recoil

#

fortis shift has +11 Ergo

loud wagon
#

fortis shift ?

upbeat flax
#

that's the grip.

loud wagon
#

ah found it

upbeat flax
loud wagon
#

why the laser

#

doesnt it lower ergo ?

strange mural
#

Laser decreases hipfire spread

upbeat flax
#

and helps you aim in the middle of your screen / where your gun is pointing at

#

which is not always.. the middle

loud wagon
#

oh

#

i actually thought lasers were completly useless

upbeat flax
#

to some it may be

#

but

#

flashlights

#

😩

#

can save lives

#

it is the most common breaching tool

#

if you have a general idea where your enemy is in a room

#

come in and prefire them as you blind them

loud wagon
#

oh never thought of it blinding so much

#

thanks for the help everyone tho 😄

upbeat flax
#

well

#

it's not blinding

#

but you can't really aim at someone's head if you don't know really where it is

#

you know?

loud wagon
#

i dont often play dark maps and idk when i do its kinda bright

#

i play mostly day on customs

#

and woods

upbeat flax

you won't rush someone outside with a flashlight, duh

but if you want to push someone in any closed area.
