[fickle kettle]

did i hear cheat ?

[open basin]

i did nothing

a lot of these factory exit keys are selling for the amount as therapist would buy it for

[tropic snow]

@open basin the key would need to open a locked door... either the door was already opened or you used the normal exfil

[open basin]

it was def not the normal exfil

and i have no idea how anyone else would have opened that door when i spawned in front of it

and got out through it 59secs later

[tropic snow]

well did you unlock it or just open it?

[open basin]

it just opened but i thought you needed the factory key to unlock it

[tropic snow]

The key is needed for gate 0 and cellars.

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Factory

[open basin]

yeah in tweaks vid he used the key to open it but when i went through it opened like a regular door

yup i know

i went through exit 0

well im not complaining 😄

[tropic snow]

nah, I just spent two uses of the key to use the shortcut 😄

on customs

[open basin]

whats the shortcut?

[tribal cove]

Best map for my first raid?

I think I will go with a pistol, 2 mags and some basic meds

[open basin]

did you do a scav run already?

[tribal cove]

Yup. Played some offline too

To get used to the game

I died in the scav run tho

[tropic snow]

Playing solo is pretty hard to begin with, I would ask someone in looking for group...

[open basin]

i learned customs first since it has all of the beginner quests for the most part

[tribal cove]

True. I'll do that

[tropic snow]

still do not know where the shortcut is @open basin 😉

but its true customs is a good map to start, can be punishing though

[lament aspen]

What are the most worth it keys to buy on Reserve?

I have the Marked room keys

[fickle kettle]

there is 2 marked room on Reserve

[lament aspen]

Yeah, I have both but only loot the closest one to me when I spawn

[fickle kettle]

both are good owo

[lament aspen]

I am just wanting to know which of the other keys are more worth it than the others in terms of money runs

[fickle kettle]

oh

hmmm

most likely try to get the key

of them room that have tank battery

let me remember xd

[lament aspen]

it's 4mill

nothx

[fickle kettle]

not that 1

i remember

there is 3 room

that spawn tank battery o-o

@lament aspen RB-MP21

that room can spawn 2 tank battery

i got alots of tank battery from that room

[lament aspen]

What are they used for anyways?

[fickle kettle]

to open door ?

or you mean the tank battery ?

[lament aspen]

Tank battery

[fickle kettle]

craft-quest-$$

[lament aspen]

Mostly looking for money runs tho

Doesn't seem like it'd make a whole lotta money for me quest wise

[bold kernel]

how do I get my girlfriend to play this game

[fickle kettle]

it like 270k per tank battery dou

@bold kernel it depend on how is your gf personalitty

and which kind of game she like too lol

[bold kernel]

she likes the sims

[fickle kettle]

and also the RB-MP21 is cheap dou

[open basin]

man the hideout is such a pain to upgrade

[fickle kettle]

@bold kernel then EFT is not for her lol

[bold kernel]

I like the sims, what are you trying to say

[fickle kettle]

cause i know 2 gril ( which is my friend ) played this game

1: they like FPS

2: they play alots of FPS

3:and they are chill lol

[bold kernel]

and why are there so many weebs in this discord

[fickle kettle]

i'm sorry but i'm born as a weeb

[open basin]

cuz weebs like shooting stuff

[bold kernel]

like schools?

[lament aspen]

@fickle kettle The keys I went for

Other than the marked keys, I've had those

[fickle kettle]

that is good eough dou

i mean like it

Reserve is a very good map

because you can loot everywhere

[open basin]

is that one ez loot too

[fickle kettle]

so just having a few key is already good eough

[lament aspen]

The RB-PS keys is the ones that I really want

[fickle kettle]

i would not like it

[lament aspen]

The rooms in the parking garage apparently make a lot of money

[fickle kettle]

cause alots of ppl will try that room

and it very open

when RB-MP21 is on the house

which is 1 of the best house to def

[open basin]

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Key_to_KIBA_Outlet_grate_door

can you make as much money with this as the other kiba key

or do you need both keys

[fickle kettle]

1m per key

[zealous knot]

is there a way to check what limbs are hurt or blacked out without opening the menu and switching to health?

[fickle kettle]

Kiba is not really that great d

[lament aspen]

@fickle kettle

wrong doe

200k for the outer door

1mill~ for the grate

[fickle kettle]

outer door is free dou

[lament aspen]

@open basin Kiba is pretty 50/50

For a quest yeah

[open basin]

yeah the loot there doesnt look too insane imo

[fickle kettle]

and also

[lament aspen]

It can be insane if you get lucky

[open basin]

like how much

can you make

[lament aspen]

I managed to get a 150-200k modded m4 from it

[fickle kettle]

the magical glass might rekt you

[lament aspen]

Plus a ton of attachments, you get random armor spawns too sometimes

[open basin]

i've made 600k from techlight

[fickle kettle]

and Killa is a bitch

[lament aspen]

Kiba is an overrated place, but it can become clutch sometimes

[fickle kettle]

it good for gear run

[open basin]

it doesnt too worth it for me

since i would need to run my docs case

and i only have an alpha

[lament aspen]

It is if you do a techlight - rasmussen - kiba run

Possible 1mill+ run

[open basin]

sounds like possible death run

[fickle kettle]

"in a perfect world" yes

[open basin]

sounds like 90% death run imo

[tropic snow]

The difference between sims and EFT is the steep learning curve and punishing mistakes you can make. I cannot see the same in the sims, although I only played it like 10 years ago

[open basin]

bro why does jaeger hate everyone

[tropic snow]

he is a hermit

[lament aspen]

@open basin Not really

Go with 1-2 other people

You can go run techlight and ras while they run to kiba and watch it for people, you run back, open it, you all loot it, then extract

[brisk sail]

can you craft the beta continer?

[open basin]

naw

cant believe i found two flash drives at oli with 25 mins left

[steady pilot]

Shame they aren 400k+

Anymore

[open basin]

why were they 400k+

[steady pilot]

Cause they were rare

And everyone was trying to do quest at same time

They orginally started at 1mil

[brisk sail]

what are cheap helems that have visors

[bold kernel]

@brisk sail kirasa

[brisk sail]

thnkas

[barren kiln]

Hey anyone wanna guide me?

i wanna get a gas analyser or the bronze pocket watch but i dont know the map that good

hoping somebody could help me

[plucky goblet]

@bold kernel kirasa is an armor

@brisk sail kiver

[brisk sail]

oh lol

thanks

its the thought that counts

can you kill killa with five seven

should i be aiming for legs or chest?

[plucky goblet]

legs

won't pen his armor

but with a 57 both would be bad imo

[lucid ore]

is this the appropriate place to look for a group? level 8 USEC here. good coms, decent game sense, and a fast learner. already have customs memorized. Bought the game during alpha and just reinstalled.

[open basin]

#521628660298678283 #news-setup

[lament aspen]

@fickle kettle

First time using the key, I get a tank battery

[vernal anchor]

@lucid ore #pvp-lfg

[final ivy]

is it worth repairing armor?

[open basin]

Yuh

[barren kiln]

Not always right

with ceramic and such

[fickle kettle]

@lament aspen i told ya

[open basin]

someone sell ur gamma to fence

[unique willow]

ok

[stark rain]

Wooooooohoo

Finally I got Kappa

[strange mural]

beginner assistance?

[tight elm]

I've got a lvl 40 dogtag, should I sell it or keep it? And where should I sell it therapist or flea market?

Also what's the best way to farm cash? I want to upgrade stash size on hideout but I need like 3miillion more roubles

[unique willow]

evening scav runs on large maps

[chrome swallow]

Therapist usually has the best price for dogtags so yeah if you want give it to her, i see dog tag trades all the time on flea

[sturdy badge]

Currently there is no useful dogtag trade imho, keep in mind you will need some tags for a quest

[scarlet breach]

will scav boss kill you if you are scav also? dose he also shoot other scav npcs?

[modern trellis]

Scav bosses do shoot player scavs but recognize Scav npc's

[sturdy badge]

Not just the scav boss, they team up with normal scav NPCs, if Killa sees you all the other scavs nearby will aggro you.

[modern trellis]

So stay away from the Scav bosses as a Scav player

[unique willow]

what am i supposed to do with the massive fucking crack in the middle of the visors when i cant even fix it

[hearty sky]

how to inspect a weapon?

not ammo, just visual

[grave helm]

l

L

[hearty sky]

oh, yeah, nice!

tnx

[brisk sail]

is sa-58 better the vepr km

[sturdy badge]

Yes its NATO 7.62 which is better then 7.62x39

[crisp sphinx]

lol nato.... ya mean 7.62x 51 vs 7.62x39

[knotty finch]

yes fal is good

[strange mural]

762 nato is 762x51 tho

but yeah

never use fal on full full auto

recoil is far too big

just tap fire

ammo kills anybody anyway

[crisp sphinx]

haha 😛

[sturdy badge]

@crisp sphinx https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7.62×51mm_NATO

Yes 7.62 nato

[knotty finch]

fal is an auto hunter

[crisp sphinx]

same shit haha

[sturdy badge]

Which is 7.62x51

No need to clarify

[bold kernel]

Sorry sure this question has been asked 1000x new player here, is it possible to loot scav backpacks/tack vests?

[crisp sphinx]

yes

[bold kernel]

how do you do it?

[crisp sphinx]

kill a scav that has one?

[bold kernel]

when i run up to the body and hit F i dont see their vest or backpack

[crisp sphinx]

some may not have one

they have a distinct color though

[bold kernel]

if they have the visual of wearing one should they have one?

[crisp sphinx]

yes

[bold kernel]

weird

[strange mural]

scroll down

to see backbags

sometimes

[bold kernel]

oh thank you snutri maybe im just missing it

[brisk sail]

whats a good and cheap body armour to have?

[unique willow]

6b armored rigs are all good and cheap

[crisp sphinx]

63btm isnt bad level 5

[sturdy badge]

Depends on what you call cheap, I would not go below T4

[brisk sail]

i cant find it

[crisp sphinx]

go to tactical rigs

in the flea market

[sturdy badge]

6B3TM-01M is T4 btw

Like every rig except TacTec

[crisp sphinx]

correct my mistake still not terrible

[brisk sail]

what does it mean when the rig says 18.1/18.1

[unique willow]

18 hitpoints left

[crisp sphinx]

its the durability

[unique willow]

kinda scuffed

would not use anymore

[brisk sail]

whats the max

[unique willow]

depends what armor

[brisk sail]

on the 6b3tm

[unique willow]

if i remember right its 40

[crisp sphinx]

so like 2 hits its broken lol

[unique willow]

or 1 hard one

[strange mural]

basically shit durability= might aswell not have any

[modern trellis]

Can you flip down the front sight of a HK 416A5? It's really annoying you cant remove the damn things from the barrels

[unique willow]

im pretty sure you need to chance barrel if you dont like it

[strange mural]

just get a new gasblock

search low profile gas block afaik?

or are you talking about..

hmm

[modern trellis]

its not a gas block

[crisp sphinx]

[modern trellis]

the hk barrels got that annoying front sight you cant remove but look like they can be flipped down

[strange mural]

i mean

[sturdy badge]

its flipped automaticly

[strange mural]

mine doesnt even have it ingame

yeah

[sturdy badge]

if you add a sight

[strange mural]

yeah

did you take it to ingame yet

go and try it

[sturdy badge]

wont see it ingame

[crisp sphinx]

I usually just sell em lol

[strange mural]

hk opieop

[modern trellis]

you sure pvt chill?

[strange mural]

mine shows it up

but it isnt

in game

try it out.

[modern trellis]

ah k

thx guys

[brisk sail]

how many shots could i take with a 6b3tm

max durbilty

[strange mural]

depends on ammo and luck

[crisp sphinx]

I wouldnt want more than 5 or 6 hits however depends on round lol

[strange mural]

you can take multiple though

[sturdy badge]

Yes @modern trellis

[modern trellis]

thx @sturdy badge

[upper sky]

Trader Barters are broken for me? it says i don't have items in my inven when i do. same issue last night as well, so it's not a trader refresh or game reload issue

trader itself

ah i think i got it

for some reason the Fill Items box got unchecked

so used to having that checked!

[tight elm]

I've sort of learn factory and customs. What map should I try learning next?

[waxen forge]

Interchange

[upbeat flax]

depends what you want

[tight elm]

@waxen forge any reason why interchange?

[strange mural]

easy money

[waxen forge]

Loot. It has dozens of weapons crates. It has 4 tech stores and 3 unlocked med stations. Can find many task and Hideout items on the map both tech and hardware. Also several tasks take you there.

https://gamepedia.cursecdn.com/escapefromtarkov_gamepedia/1/19/QuestItemRequirements.png

Plus Hideout Items/requirements.

[knotty finch]

which one has better ap again? 7n1 or snb?

[vernal anchor]

Snb has 62 pen

[drifting mica]

Snb has the best AP, but 7n1 will penetrate just about anything

Except t6

Meanwhile snb will

7n1 has better flesh dmg tho, so ultimatley most people go with that

[upper sky]

what room does the 'Key to the gas station storage room' unlock? thought that the 'Gas station' manager's office key unlocked everything?

[knotty finch]

ty

[drifting mica]

Managers office opens the office in the gasstation, storage room opens a small closet with 2 medcases in it

So its the door right next to the managers office. And the managers office key does not open the storage room

[upper sky]

thought they used the same key! thx

so storage room just has two medcases in it?

[drifting mica]

Yes.

Or well, one medcase, and one medbag

[upbeat flax]

personally i say not really worth

[upper sky]

i found the key, so may just bring with

or sell it

any mid-price ADAR builds you guys have?

[brisk sail]

what is best mosin ammo

and a good scope for sniping?

[strange mural]

snb bad

7n1 good

[upbeat flax]

@upper sky 70k sounds good?

[strange mural]

7n1 best mosin ammo

scopes are up to what you prefer

[brisk sail]

but i dont know any of the names

so i cant buy them

[knotty finch]

wow i just got dropped by a scav that 180 pistol'd my ass across the map headshot

[upbeat flax]

@upper sky

cheap and sexy

[knotty finch]

you got an m4 build?

[upbeat flax]

you can do the same to an M4

[upper sky]

@upbeat flax damn that's tiny can barely read haha

[upbeat flax]

hold on

higher res

click on it

[upper sky]

better thx

[brisk sail]

do i need a thing to attach a scope to my mosin

[knotty finch]

how much is that

is that laser m4

[upbeat flax]

70k ish

[gray mountain]

@brisk sail I think you need a 30mm mount

for scopes

[upbeat flax]

no

pu scope thing

[gray mountain]

right

[brisk sail]

yeah for the pu scope

[upbeat flax]

and another mount

[brisk sail]

what mount do i need

[upbeat flax]

kotchev

[upper sky]

can trade for ADAR base with Battery to Skier

[upbeat flax]

or something like that

karma, just buy it for 6k off flea

[gray mountain]

battery is probably worth more tbh

if you sell it at flea that is

[upper sky]

@upbeat flax ah ok.. i have so many kicking around from SCAV runs

[strange mural]

mosin scope is
kochetov
3.5x pu mount
and a pu scope

[upper sky]

@upbeat flax you prioritize recoil or ergo?

[upbeat flax]

sexyness

it's a decent build.

don't think it will drain stamina when ADSing, maybe a bit

[sour plume]

does the rotor43 muzzlebrake actually act as a silencer?

[upbeat flax]

yes?

not sure for scavs but it will silence it better than a normal muzzlebreak

[sour plume]

wondering if it's worth taking to night raid

vs just spending 2x for a silencerco

[upbeat flax]

test it out

[drifting mica]

Yeah, it also works a a sound supressor. No worries there.

[proud gorge]

Whats a good not that expensive weapon that i should use when im new?

[upbeat flax]

@proud gorge https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLCQMibVJ6A

[proud gorge]

Thank you

[gray mountain]

Also the VEPR KM

cheap and can be cheapily modded

2nd best ammo can be bought from Prapor

[strange mural]

vepr sv98 hunter

for the diffrent ammo types

[gray mountain]

7.62x39 PS

[strange mural]

[proud gorge]

Okay yeah i got that Vepr KM

Thank you guys

[gray mountain]

👍

[faint violet]

Vepr is cheap

Akm is better

👌

[sturdy badge]

Vepr Hunter > AKM

[sour plume]

anyone know if this lens flare happens with other optics?

or other nvgs

[faint violet]

Hunter can eat my tits

[sturdy badge]

You wont need a full auto AKM if you an have a semi beast shooting M80

Also unmodded or slightly modded AKM is a hell to control as a beginner

Even meta 64 recoil AMK can be a challenge

[strange mural]

@sour plume depends a lot on the optic

but yes there are ones that have that happen

[faint violet]

Hah

Akm superior

[grave helm]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQN8nvdhJ9w Shroud straight up with the Backpack city

[faint violet]

You just need big boolet for compensate lack of skill

[sturdy badge]

Are you even listening? I would not recommend an AKM for a beginner since recoil is ass

[trail narwhal]

I see it

[faint violet]

It’s not bad tho...

At all

[trail narwhal]

I stick with op sks

[faint violet]

the recoil is fine

[sturdy badge]

Base recoil of an AKM? 150?

[trail narwhal]

Or keddr b

[sturdy badge]

We are talking about beginners not modding their guns

[grave helm]

higher recoil = better ?

[faint violet]

sucks to suck

no

[sturdy badge]

Hunter is fin unmoded

[faint violet]

Obviously unless you a booler and can control aim

[strange mural]

hunter is fine unmodded because you cant mod it

[faint violet]

[sturdy badge]

Your git gud mentality does not seem to fit into this channel

[strange mural]

but yes akm isnt a bad weapon

just keep in on semi unless in cqc

this game is gitgud the game

[reef prairie]

do i get more for keys on the flea market or from traders? im not lvl 5 yet but i need some money

[faint violet]

pvt chill

[strange mural]

flea generally

[faint violet]

You don’t understand how people work in this channel

but yes

[sturdy badge]

I do, you don't

[faint violet]

🤡

ok

Wait till you meet volkov

[grave helm]

@reef prairie do some scav runs, if you really need money quick start a scav run and extract right away.

[faint violet]

Scav runs are a win win

[sturdy badge]

Its not helpful to tell peopl to buy and AKM over a hunter only beause you prefer it

[grave helm]

^

[faint violet]

Gain shit for extract don’t lose shit

If you die

[reef prairie]

did a few scav runs, but i want to lvl up to get access to the market

[faint violet]

Ah

[grave helm]

the most money I got was from a scav run like 1m + rubel

[faint violet]

Go to #pvp-lfg

[sturdy badge]

Unmoded AKM sucks ass

[grave helm]

you dont have gear feat aswell

[faint violet]

Ask for help or get a Sherpa

mileage may vary on the sherpa one

[trail narwhal]

Do scavs. Regular scavs throw nades

[faint violet]

but I can do kickflip ollies on some pmcs ass with an akm

It’s fun

[reef prairie]

i feel like i would waste the time of a sherpa

[pseudo mural]

yes regular scavs can throw nades

also if you kill em while they're throwing it they'll drop it then you'll walk over to grab it...and explode

[faint violet]

Sherpas are a waste of time imo

[reef prairie]

its just the prices of the various items that confuse me

[faint violet]

But it’s their job to help new players

It’s literally what they do

[reef prairie]

i feel like i waste a lot of money on the traders

[pseudo mural]

Sherpas willingly give up their time to help others and that's commendable I think

[faint violet]

Go ask them

they enjoy helping and I respect that

[sick knot]

Do scavs kill you when youre going into a raid as a scav with a friend? lol i swear i just got swarmed

[reef prairie]

i understand the limitation of the market, but it makes it a lot harder for new players

[faint violet]

@sick knot

If you shoot scav

You die

If scav boss sees you

Dead

basically that

[formal laurel]

@reef prairie The market works like an real one; items of high demand are expensive, and usually are bought out and sold for higher

[sick knot]

Can you do offline raid with friends? Also since the update i havent been playing much what exactly are scav bosses

[faint violet]

M995

💦

[formal laurel]

Rarer items will cost more because of demand and lack of population in the game

[faint violet]

Scav bosses are like endgame fuckers

[reef prairie]

yeah, i know, but you can get items that you cant buy from traders

[faint violet]

they have aimbot literally

Total dickheads

[formal laurel]

Yes, these are usually barters items or high end items, which are expensive (mostly because of the hide out)

[trail narwhal]

Using 7.62 should I use bp or ps

[formal laurel]

PS

[faint violet]

We always eco mode

Ps is a sleeper

[supple oak]

why this game is such a bullshit pmc is unfair for newwer players

[formal laurel]

What’s unfair about it Anatoly?

[faint violet]

[formal laurel]

[faint violet]

Get tarkoved that’s just how you learn friend

[trail narwhal]

It’s not easy ant

[supple oak]

i finally take out my best gear to do something and i shoot like 17 bullets from my ak in another pmc everything is absorbed by armor and he 2shots me

[faint violet]

tarkov

Get used to it

[reef prairie]

yeah, thats tarkov

[formal laurel]

Sounds like you’re using the wrong ammo

[supple oak]

thats bullshit theese crowned yellow players are unfair

[formal laurel]

[faint violet]

What gun or ammo

[reef prairie]

just keep on playing

[faint violet]

EOD just means they have a job

[formal laurel]

Buy better ammo next time

[faint violet]

[supple oak]

i was using the normal ak74m with PS 5.54x39 bullets

[formal laurel]

Yeah

[faint violet]

Oh

That’s why

[formal laurel]

PS 5.45 is trash

[faint violet]

^

[supple oak]

those bullets are the only choice for me

[faint violet]

oh

[formal laurel]

It’s literally got like a 20% pen rate

[faint violet]

Talking about pen rate

I want an m95 in game

[supple oak]

the thing is what bullet then there is for me which isn't over 100$ per

[faint violet]

then use a 7.62 ak?

[formal laurel]

^

[faint violet]

Cheaper more effective ammo

[supple oak]

well can i buy it for like 20k?

[faint violet]

Yes

Vepr km

Like 15k

[formal laurel]

Vepr KM

Put a scope on it

Basically a SVD

[faint violet]

Ammo is 87 rubles per

mags are 1.7k each

👌

[supple oak]

which ammo should i buy for vepr and which scope

[faint violet]

Ps

For 7.62 is deadly

[formal laurel]

can you put a PSO on them or do you need a dust cover?

[faint violet]

vepr doesn’t really need a scope

Just get a bastion

Dust cover

Mount a reflex

does what you need it without covering half your screen

[formal laurel]

tfw night Force 50x zoom scope

[supple oak]

hopefully now i actually can win a fight otherwise my 2% escape chance isn't great

[formal laurel]

It’ll go up as you play more

[faint violet]

dude

A good gun won’t help you

[supple oak]

but vepr wasn't a single fire weapon?

[formal laurel]

I literally brought all my gear into a factory raid first time playing

[faint violet]

You gotta learn short placement or audio cues

[formal laurel]

Yeah, use comtacs like everyone else

[faint violet]

Or don’t and use your real god given ears

I hate it when my ears bleed after using a headset

[reef prairie]

use comtacs and lower the volume?

[supple oak]

so which mags fit in vepr and is it a single fire weapon tho?

[formal laurel]

You don’t like hearing every rock crunch under your feet?

It’s a single fire AK Anatoly

[faint violet]

Make sure it’s the 30 rnd mags

[formal laurel]

Link search it in your inventory to find the mags

[fickle kettle]

quick question

[faint violet]

there’s a banana 10 rnd civilian mag

[fickle kettle]

how much it is for San.204

red 1

[formal laurel]

Probably like 150k

[faint violet]

what are you talking about avi

[fickle kettle]

ah den i just throw away 150k

[formal laurel]

Shoreline keys don’t cost as much anyways

Unless they’re medical wing key

[reef prairie]

150k is not much?

[formal laurel]

That’s like nearly a million

[fickle kettle]

it not

[formal laurel]

It’s not

That’s like one kit

[faint violet]

One good sks

[formal laurel]

A good adar along with some armor and helmet

[faint violet]

or just

Yknow

A big bullet

Ak

Sks

[odd plover]

is there a way to clear your chat in tarkov?

[formal laurel]

M995 adar with 20 round mags

[trail narwhal]

What’s a good medium helmet

[formal laurel]

It’s godly

SSH

The penis helmet

Like you may look at it and think I’m joking

[faint violet]

20 m995 is worth more than half the people’s stashes in here

[formal laurel]

It’s actually really good

[faint violet]

ssh is nice

High ricochet

Sexy package

[pseudo mural]

lotsa rounds for the SVD

[trail narwhal]

Thx

[pseudo mural]

+scope+svd+helm+armor.

[formal laurel]

20 m995 is like 10k bro it’s crazy

[pseudo mural]

and not having to worry about m995

[faint violet]

M855a1 is meta 5.56

[supple oak]

also what armor and helmet should i be using which isn't expensive

[faint violet]

Don’t worry about m995

[pseudo mural]

I'd rather just buy the uh, 7n1? whatever goes in the SVD

that thing is brutal

[formal laurel]

SSH and 6b armored rig is a really good cheap kit

[faint violet]

7n1

[formal laurel]

You don’t have to worry about buying a rig

[faint violet]

Yes

[pseudo mural]

but I'm also a fan of the mosin

[faint violet]

Buy that

Mosin is good

[pseudo mural]

7n1+svd+cheapo scope=zoomboom

[faint violet]

Svd is needed for a quest

[pseudo mural]

mosin+7n1+optics=niiiice.

either one makes quick work of peeps

[formal laurel]

6b3tm armored rig

[pseudo mural]

that's what I've been running lately

[formal laurel]

I run nothing but tactecs

[pseudo mural]

I tried the SV98 but I did not enjoy it at all

it's so heavy and ADS drops your stamina instantly

[bronze ice]

Heard it has some firing delay or something

[pseudo mural]

and that

[formal laurel]

I made a mosin that takes mags

[pseudo mural]

you pull the trigger and it just takes..forever

[formal laurel]

Turns out the mags were like 10k a piece lol

[bronze ice]

Yikes

[sturdy badge]

@faint violet would syou stop giving shit advices? comtacs do extend your range

[pseudo mural]

I couldn't adjust coming from the mosin which is basically a laser

[faint violet]

holy shit

Fuck off

[sturdy badge]

it is highly advised to use them

[faint violet]

it was my opinion

never said not to use them

stop ruining the flow of the conversation over something old

[pseudo mural]

comtacs help but I don't run them on my budget runs(<100k)

[faint violet]

^

[pseudo mural]

because I can usually kill someone wearing them

[faint violet]

Cheap headset I was told sucks

[sturdy badge]

comtacs are more important then helmets

[pseudo mural]

?

[faint violet]

🤔

What

[pseudo mural]

Uh, I can still hear without comtacs

[formal laurel]

Well that was a lie chill

[pseudo mural]

getting shot in the head isn't fixable

[strange mural]

comtac2s and gssh suck

[faint violet]

lmao

[strange mural]

[sturdy badge]

you wont get shot if you hear your enemis

[faint violet]

Thanks snu

[formal laurel]

Ever seen cotton play?

[strange mural]

comtacs>armor

[faint violet]

Ok

[formal laurel]

Cotton doesn’t use comtacs

[bronze ice]

Headphones are situational IMO

[faint violet]

^

[pseudo mural]

Comtacs don't help me nearly as much as a good helmet does

[bronze ice]

You can get shot from 100m+ and you won't hear em 😦

[sturdy badge]

his name is "kotton" and he is a shitter

[bronze ice]

But they're really nice when sneaking through the woods

[pseudo mural]

i almost always find peeps I kill wearing them tho so I usually end up with em

[bronze ice]

🤷

[pseudo mural]

but, I don't bother on budget runs, probably should but I don't

[formal laurel]

Also; comtac 2s are not shit they look nice

[faint violet]

look

Isn’t good

[strange mural]

they arent preferred by most people

[faint violet]

Doesn’t mean*

[strange mural]

because they mix the sounds up

or smfn like that

[pseudo mural]

The ones I took off the level 43 I killed last night were insane

[strange mural]

sordins sound the best to me

[formal laurel]

You mix the sounds up

[pseudo mural]

I wear IEM's cuz I can't hear good

[sturdy badge]

tactical sports>sordins

[pseudo mural]

and i had to turn my volume down by 25-30%

[strange mural]

its personal preference between the two.

[formal laurel]

Probably sordins slowly

[bronze ice]

@faint violet Disagree, fashion is always the endgame

[strange mural]

or even the three

[faint violet]

[strange mural]

gssh are defo the worst ones

[pseudo mural]

gssh make no difference to my crappy ears 😦

[faint violet]

they sound Russian

disgusting

🇺🇸

[strange mural]

they make your own sounds hella fucking loud

[sturdy badge]

gssh and normal comtacs sound like a trash can

[faint violet]

Lmoa

[strange mural]

comtac2s are still better than none though

[sturdy badge]

sure

[strange mural]

lets you hear sounds much further away

[sturdy badge]

I would always prefer gssh over none

[pseudo mural]

I agree but...if I only have money for a helmet I'd rather take it

also because I always black out peeps helmets when killing them

so I can pretty much never find a good one

[bronze ice]

Do headsets actually increase your hearing range or do they just amplify the quiet sounds?

[sturdy badge]

You can loot helmts from scavs, comtacs ar rare on scavs

[pseudo mural]

I had a guy last night on customs take 12 rounds to the body/face of 9x19 from a saiga 9 and then turn around and shoot me

it was frustrating 🙂

[strange mural]

9mm

[bronze ice]

^

[faint violet]

9mm ap is

👌

[strange mural]

not sure if the range is just placebo

[sturdy badge]

Use 5.45 instead

[strange mural]

cant remember

[pseudo mural]

ya, it was on a scav run

[strange mural]

but it definetly helps

[pseudo mural]

I hadn't gotten another gun yet

[sturdy badge]

5.45 BP or BT, 9mm is trash

[pseudo mural]

I usually will find a mosin on my scav runs

but that run, I ran into a super geared dude inside storage

[faint violet]

If you gotta run 9mm use rip or ap

[sturdy badge]

AKS-74U costs below 20k

[pseudo mural]

and he ate 12 rounds of 9mm then shot me,

...this was on a scav run

i couldn't bring ammo or an ak74 or BT/BP anything

[indigo birch]

Has anyone else experienced that none of the extracts work on customs? i tried all of them, and none of the allowed me to exit

[strange mural]

74u is trash though

[pseudo mural]

hmm, you sure you were in the right place Rusten?

[strange mural]

rustan double tap o

to see extractrs you have

[sturdy badge]

9mm is more trash

[pseudo mural]

snutri, shhhh, I love my ak-74u with the okp sight

[strange mural]

pvt he was a scav

quit it

[pseudo mural]

esp with BP

[sturdy badge]

and that is what ist all is about

[strange mural]

[indigo birch]

i tried them all, non of them worked

[trail narwhal]

Silly player scav just took me out after we raided all of interchange.

[sturdy badge]

to get the lss trash caliber

[strange mural]

rusten there is only on extract that works per raid for pmc on customs

[indigo birch]

spend the entire 50mins and got MIA in the end

[strange mural]

works 100%

the others are ????'s

[sturdy badge]

quit it and you keep talking lol

[strange mural]

you need to double tap o to see which ones you can see

[pseudo mural]

rustenSKE, press "O+O" in raid

to see where you can get

stuff with ???? may or may not be there

stuff with no question marks is 100% exit

[bronze ice]

This is more of an #eft-chat talk, than #beginners-assistance talk, IMO

[supple oak]

guys is akms 7.62 a better choice than vepr?

[faint violet]

no

[indigo birch]

yeah, but that only works at the very start does it not?

[strange mural]

depends what you are looking for

[bronze ice]

@supple oak It's full auto

[strange mural]

it has automatic fire

[sturdy badge]

Its the same in automatic

[strange mural]

but its more costly

[faint violet]

It’s got a wire stock

[pseudo mural]

beginners assistance feels like where we go as noobs to talk because if you talk in eft chat you get told to shutup and oyu dont get an opinion cuz your new

=\

[sturdy badge]

and has a folding stock

[faint violet]

that you can’t switch

[strange mural]

@indigo birch no you can do it all game

[pseudo mural]

also, if you make a statement followed by a question on EFT chat your told to come here

[faint violet]

it has worse recoil reduction

[bronze ice]

@supple oak Ask @steady pilot 🤭

[faint violet]

But I like it because it’s different

Don’t summon him

[supple oak]

dirox who is that

[strange mural]

its the only way to know where you can extracts

[pseudo mural]

so I literally don't know where i'm supposed to be, nobodys happy with me in EFT chat, and apparently talking/question asking in here is "etf chat" =\

[faint violet]

It’s him

[stark rain]

Hello, any Sherpas or skilled assault players here?

[strange mural]

@supple oak we gave you an answer already but let me tldr
its fully automatic, costs more

[indigo birch]

bah been away from the game for too long

[pseudo mural]

hey man I'm only 12 days in, you'l get it 🙂

[stark rain]

I would have some questions on lab tactics 0.0

[pseudo mural]

it took me 11 days to figure out I could check how much ammo I had left in my mag

I'm surprised on pmags tho that he takes the mag out, cuz you can just look at the back of the mag

[faint violet]

That’s like

[pseudo mural]

I got 120 scav/player kills before figuring out I oculd check how much ammo I had. granted I mostly use a mosin so it doesn't really matter

[bronze ice]

@pseudo mural They could really integrate that into the game, make the promags stand out more 😮

[supple oak]

also would any1 want to help me complete the deal from the past task in 4 hours i need to drop off the quest item in factory but im clueless in that map and people are too agressive there to really do that quest i keep failing on solo

[sturdy badge]

Wait untill you fin out you can check chamber 😉

[pseudo mural]

ya, pmags you can just look on the back to see which hole is open vs covered

[faint violet]

All good mags have peel holes

With number references

peek*

[strange mural]

i mean even bad mags do

[pseudo mural]

I usually will load two rounds

[strange mural]

[pseudo mural]

then two tracers

then the rest of my rounds

if i've got a 30/20 round mag

[faint violet]

Tracers

Why

What are you a fucking anti air gun

[pseudo mural]

tells you when your bingo.

[bronze ice]

@supple oak I might be able to help in a few hours

[pseudo mural]

you see a tracer you know you only have 3 rounds left

[faint violet]

.-.

[drifting mica]

Yeah, very useful at times.

[faint violet]

not gonna knock you for that

[pseudo mural]

more info is never bad

[faint violet]

You do you

I can always keep track of ammo

[pseudo mural]

I'm sure I could too, but I've got a thousand other things im usually trying to accomplish just to stay alive

so it helps me

[faint violet]

Ok

[pseudo mural]

a lot of guys in my old unit used to load a tracer every 9 rounds+3 at the end of the mag so that if you mag dump, you just count how many tracers you fired so I just did that.

[sturdy badge]

I would love to have custom lobbies, you could do funny shit like factory only with green tracers

[faint violet]

Lmao

[strange mural]

they are adding multiplayer offline apparently

[faint violet]

Or just 5 stack factory and do that

[strange mural]

and arena ™️

[sturdy badge]

You don't get it

There wouldbe a 6th dude

Without tracers

[faint violet]

kill it

[pseudo mural]

ya but he'd die really quick

lol

[sturdy badge]

[supple oak]

hey what does a dust cover do?

[sturdy badge]

Cover your gun from dust gettin in

[strange mural]

ergonomics

[faint violet]

Rail

[sturdy badge]

[faint violet]

Bastion

[strange mural]

ergo and scopes

[faint violet]

Ergo is for pussies

[supple oak]

is it needed?

[strange mural]

also will probably do more in the future

[faint violet]

Lowest ergo ak build

[strange mural]

not needed but why not have it

[sturdy badge]

not needed but useful since you usually mount your rail there

[supple oak]

so is there a difference between theese 2

[faint violet]

Rail on the top

[strange mural]

one mounts almost any sight

[faint violet]

For scopes

[strange mural]

bastion that is

[sturdy badge]

Bastion has the rail

[faint violet]

remove rear sight on the gun

To mount bastion

[strange mural]

aint it front you need to remove for it

[faint violet]

No

[stark rain]

BTW, Does anyone know the GL's parameters to hit dome?

[faint violet]

Rear sight for bastion

[supple oak]

also which is a good/cheap reflex sight?

[faint violet]

eh

Kobra idk

[sturdy badge]

p1x

[faint violet]

or that

Don’t know the prices

[sturdy badge]

Kobra got ergo nerfed to death

[faint violet]

ergo doesn’t matter that much apparently

[bold kernel]

Squads of 5 are fun and immersive for solo players :) haha

[faint violet]

[proud gorge]

yeah just got rekt by 4 players like an hour ago 😛

[sturdy badge]

it now has -6 ergo which means shitty ads time

[bold kernel]

I blast 3 of those suckers and run out of meds

Feelshorribleman

[sturdy badge]

AK has a resonable ads base tim, but shit ergo will lowr it

[supple oak]

so also is there any attachment that makes a weapon easier for a noob??

[strange mural]

sight is the most important part

[faint violet]

Foregripw

[strange mural]

there are other things that lower recoil but cost more

[sturdy badge]

front grip

[bold kernel]

buttpad is basically free and helps a lot

[faint violet]

The one for the Russian stocks

👌

[sturdy badge]

Start with a Zenit B-10 AK Handguard

[upbeat flax]

If it coats more than a toz it's not free

[sturdy badge]

And add a foregrip

[fair bobcat]

What should I keep for the quests?

[strange mural]

or the ak 100 grip

why not keep like most of it

or sell it

[fair bobcat]

Only thing i'll keep is my ak

[upbeat flax]

@fair bobcat look up quest item guide thing

[fair bobcat]

All this other things i'll sell

[strange mural]

quest items are in the pins here

[upbeat flax]

Some things need to be found in raid

[fair bobcat]

U think I want waste time on that? I'm asking here because I want to save my time

[strange mural]

also please for gods sake put the labs keycard in your container next time

[fair bobcat]

Ik I had in container

[strange mural]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/521626362251837451/640741687181705217/QuestItems.png?width=705&height=359

this is your answer

[fair bobcat]

But when I killed whole lobby I was safe to keep it out

[sturdy badge]

Nikita recently nerfed OKP and Cobra hard, used to be decnt cheap alternatives

Becaus soviet optics must be shit

[upbeat flax]

@fair bobcat

Have fun I guess

[strange mural]

https://gamepedia.cursecdn.com/escapefromtarkov_gamepedia/1/19/QuestItemRequirements.png?version=58ce60c75495942619d37407a2b92386

higher res

[reef prairie]

are the damage numbers in the raid statistics accurate?

[strange mural]

not always

bugs do happen with it

[upbeat flax]

Somewhat

[strange mural]

but generally it should be accurate

[pseudo mural]

it's console+fps 1 for the bar right?

[sturdy badge]

They seem bugged, like ... more hits then shots

[upbeat flax]

Shotguns ^

Or collats

[strange mural]

generally

yeah or fragmentation

[fair bobcat]

should I sell labs keycard or?

[reef prairie]

439 damage absorbed by armor, 70 dealt to body seems a bit high for pistol

[fair bobcat]

I don't play and idk about labs too much

[strange mural]

just sell it then

you can buy a key anytime

[faint violet]

I got a collat once

Through my friends head into the scav

😩

[upbeat flax]

@reef prairie depends on your enemy

[reef prairie]

i didnt see much, was a geared player

but i only hit 8 bullets

[upbeat flax]

What rounds?

[reef prairie]

makarov bzt gzh

[strange mural]

no wonder then

[tropic snow]

the makarov? dang, that peashooter...

[strange mural]

if they had t4 armor

[reef prairie]

yeah, pistol only doesnt work

[strange mural]

youd be shooting at them for a hour

[supple oak]

which grip fits this gun?

[strange mural]

need a diffrent hand guard most likely

[reef prairie]

but still, 500 damage with 8 bullets cant be right

[strange mural]

get the ak 100

i dont know how the end of game armor damage is calculated

[sturdy badge]

Zenit B-10

And you will be able to add a front grip

[strange mural]

but if you shot 10 times thatd fit 500 damage total

[upbeat flax]

@reef prairie it's 55 dmg

Per shot

[reef prairie]

it said 10 shots, 8 hits

[upbeat flax]

Roughly 500

[strange mural]

yeah might just be bugged

[upbeat flax]

Also

Why use a makarov

[reef prairie]

because i found one

[faint violet]

I’d rather have an axe

[reef prairie]

i had the best raids with the sks

[tropic snow]

Id stick with my hatched rather than rely on that gun...

[unique willow]

what is this?

[strange mural]

if the normal sks had better moddability id play with it

but might aswell use hunter

its a faceplate for a helmet

worth a ton

iirc

[warm rover]

can I have my fps on all the time instead of just typing fps 1 every time I start tarkov ?

[reef prairie]

i just used it without any mods

well, i remove the rear sight

[supple oak]

so is this a good ak now for a noob

[faint violet]

I here’s the butt pad

[pseudo mural]

eXecutx I have an nvidia graphics card

[faint violet]

Why a pillau

[pseudo mural]

you can set it to show FPS at all times

[strange mural]

yehgood cheapo starting gun

you can just upgrade in raid

[supple oak]

suck daddy first i found cheap only a pistol grip was cheaper

[faint violet]

Why use t45m

[tropic snow]

@unique willow I think its only attachment for helmet

[faint violet]

.-.

[supple oak]

sack daddy it was in the gun when i bought it

[strange mural]

use ps ammo, or bp if you can spend a bit more

[faint violet]

Ok

Ps is ok

Bp is Bentley

[supple oak]

i bought ps bullets

[faint violet]

good

[pseudo mural]

SLAAP is the interior plate

[faint violet]

From prapor right

[pseudo mural]

exterior plate*

[unique willow]

yea it said it was some armor part but no idea what to do with it, so i sold it since kinda expensive

[pseudo mural]

it goes on the outsride of a fast MT/Fast XP from ops-core

[strange mural]

mfw answer but get ifnored

[pseudo mural]

https://shop.gentexcorp.com/slaap-plate-by-velocity-systems/

like that

[warm rover]

Oh you mean nvidia's geforce experience thing ? yeah totally forgot about it

[supple oak]

yes sack daddy from prapor

[sour plume]

Is reserve just completely unplayable for medium end systems? I have no problem on any other map but I've been in "awaiting session start" for 4 minutes now

[pseudo mural]

ya executex that's what I use and it works great bud

[strange mural]

reserve has pretty bad performance yes

[warm rover]

Great, thanks mate!

[pseudo mural]

they also made mandible guards (opscore) which are by the same company and are in game as well 9/11

[sturdy badge]

@unique willow slaap can be attatched to some western helmets and protects your

[pseudo mural]

ya, it fits Ops core helmets(Fast MT/XP, dunno if XP is in game)

[strange mural]

yall answered him five times now

[trail narwhal]

I if any of you just sat in a room for 30 mins just to kill a pmc. Well done you sneaky chap

[sturdy badge]

also the new helmets from pk

they also fit a slaap

[sour plume]

like is this actually a joke

[strange mural]

it isnt optimized

suggest not running it if this is the normal load

[sour plume]

There's badly optimized

And then there's completely unplayable

[tropic snow]

Then run factory...

[faint violet]

just get an ssd

Even sata 2.0 speeds load you in at 2 minutes

[sturdy badge]

what do you consider "medium end"

[strange mural]

i mean try loading into the map like once or twice but if it doesnt work, dont play the map for now

[sturdy badge]

medium pc would have at last a sata SSD for games

[warm rover]

After moving my game to the SSD it's wayyy faster

[supple oak]

guys is there a way to transfer the game from hdd to ssd so it doesn't go corrupt? i just didn't think this game had a big inpact if its on ssd

[faint violet]

Sata ssd are so fucking cheap

[sturdy badge]

Not havng a sata ssd makes your rig morel ike low end

[faint violet]

240gb is 30$

120 is 15$

how do people not have an ssd when they are so available

[sour plume]

My game is on an ssd

The problem is 8gb ram
