[frosty plinth]

lol there's no reason not to try, worth so much more than anything you could find

[bold kernel]

can u not pick up thicc crate

without trizip/pilgrim

[golden geyser]

A scav backpack should be enough?

Not certain though

I know it's a 6x2 or something

[bold kernel]

naw a sling is enough

[golden geyser]

lol

[amber saffron]

How long does it take for Prapor to give your your stuff back if you've insured it and no one has taken it?

[frosty plinth]

2ish days

[amber saffron]

Alright. Is there a way to check if its taken or not?

[frosty plinth]

nop

[amber saffron]

Thanks

[frosty plinth]

nps

[calm wraith]

is this good to take with me before i start a raid?

[frosty plinth]

practice in offline mode

before starting

and take as much as you want

also scav runs!

[amber saffron]

Take splinter(s). I believe they help you heal fractures. So in case your hand breaks it wont fuck up your aim, and you wont be leaping till extraction if your leg breaks.

[calm wraith]

but i dont want to lose stuff

[frosty plinth]

you won't in offline mode

[amber saffron]

You wont lose anything in offline

[calm wraith]

will i get to keep the stuff i take in offline?

[amber saffron]

But you also wont get anything

[frosty plinth]

no

[amber saffron]

No

[frosty plinth]

it's just practice

[amber saffron]

Its basically practice

To learn maps and test stuff

[calm wraith]

Will try it out, thanks

[frosty plinth]

np!

[calm wraith]

what map is best to begin with btw?

[frosty plinth]

people say customs due to starter tasks being there

[amber saffron]

Yeah. Prapor's first task is in Customs

[frosty plinth]

I don't love the map personally

[amber saffron]

Im currently doing Factory as a beginer, as its a small map and easier to learn

But i will do customs after im level 5

[frosty plinth]

factory is brutal

[amber saffron]

Brutal as in?

[frosty plinth]

scavs everywhere, constant fighting

exfil camping pmcs

[amber saffron]

Yeah

True. Its annoying

I know a bit of interchange as well

[frosty plinth]

interchange is good

[amber saffron]

Yeah

[pine wagon]

What is the insurance expiry time?

[amber saffron]

I have a 2.5 K/D

Kinda surprised

Knowing i die a lot lmao

[faint violet]

That’s low

I have a 2

[formal laurel]

It’s easy to keep a high KD cus of Scavs

[faint violet]

Some people have like 5+

[formal laurel]

5.0 is like normal

[amber saffron]

I see

Does K/D matter in this game or nah?

[frosty plinth]

not really

[amber saffron]

I see

So how much should i be focussing on my hideout, and what parts of it?

[frosty plinth]

it depends on how much you'll be playing

if a lot, then focus on everything

if more casual, it's less important

[amber saffron]

Ill be playing a lot

This is probably my main game

[faint violet]

yeah

I’m buying pc upgrades just for this game

[frosty plinth]

build a solid safety net of cash first where you can eat some losses

then start spending freely

[amber saffron]

Nice! @faint violet

[faint violet]

Get like 1.5m

[amber saffron]

How do you suggest i get money?

[faint violet]

Scav

Keep the shit sell what you don’t want

[amber saffron]

So i go in as a Scav and extract right away and sell everything?

[faint violet]

You can

[amber saffron]

I see

[faint violet]

Looting is fun as well

[amber saffron]

Yeah i can do that as well

How much would i get aprox in one scav run?

[faint violet]

Depends

One run you can get 200k rubles

Other 0

Sometimes

20k

It’s a dice roll friend

Keep going at it learn extracts

Fun will come

[amber saffron]

I see

Thanks

[frosty plinth]

learn loot spots, learn what sells well

and don't just pick up everything you see

[faint violet]

Looting a fresh kill is death sentence

you have to wait

Someone may be hawking you

[unique willow]

unless you really want the loot

then you should go for it

no but for real

sometimes its worth to just yoink some shit fast and leave

[faint violet]

Yeah

I lost two of my most prized possessions yesterday for that tho

😢

My suppressed p226 and my m9

[amber saffron]

Is there a way to set the flea market to only show you options to buy and not trade for stuff?

[long spear]

@amber saffron yes upper left gear icon then in new window mark the bartering trade box

[amber saffron]

I see. Thanks!

So much more convenient now lul

[faint violet]

Lmao

[old dove]

can annyone tell me why cant i turn in this shotgun for The gunsmith part 1 quest ?

[faint violet]

To mechanic

[old dove]

he wont take it...

i think i met all the conditions but he still wont take it

[faint violet]

The wiki has an exact list

Of what he wants

read up chief

[upbeat flax]

wrong grip

you're supposed to get the KAC

[faint violet]

[old dove]

@upbeat flax did as you said and still nothing

[faint violet]

Follow the list

Please

[upbeat flax]

wrong barrel

@old dove

[faint violet]

[split vapor]

At least follow the wiki

[faint violet]

Literally what I said like twice

[prime ether]

Hello all. This is my first wipe and I am trying to find some assistance in wepon modding to help with recoil, but it's confusing. Does anyone know a good youtube video or guide?

Check out Battlebuddy

aaaaaaaaand Pestily has more labs and reserve in-depth content

make sure to check out #news-setup and #521628660298678283 my guy

[broken briar]

golden swag is the hardest quest in eft

just putting that out there

[robust jackal]

Did that one first try

[bold kernel]

Why is roads to custom red?

[robust jackal]

Delivery from the past sucks

@bold kernel Think someone died there

[bold kernel]

f for that guy i got out

[near badge]

How in the he'll am I supposed to tell where I am. Played a few games, online and offline and I just can't get my head around the map. Any tips?

[long spear]

use the wiki maps

[amber saffron]

Damn these factory campers

[gray mountain]

@near badge Find landmarks on the online wiki maps

and try to find your way around

[near badge]

Thank you

[rocky ocean]

@near badge play more offline first > scav > pmc

[strange mural]

scav > offline pmc

get a feeling for that danger

[rocky ocean]

it wont help if you dont know the map to play i scav if you dont know extractions and some important points

[sweet lantern]

is reserves really good? i have 3 keys for it but cant go on it

[near badge]

Yeah the only online games I played were as scav so I didn't loose anything

[amber saffron]

I went in as PMC taking everything without knowing anything about the game and died

So yeah, dont Calinyth yourself

[strange mural]

reserve is a good loot map but has a few difficult bits, extracting from it without red rebel is pretty hard @sweet lantern

[gray mountain]

oh btw snutri

Interchange hidden cache runs are pretty good

I can come out empty handed with a scav from the mall and still get some loot before I extract

[strange mural]

yeah i know

feels good getting those good rolls on the stashes

[gray mountain]

ye

[umbral minnow]

Anyone know why the armor is not repairing?

[rocky ocean]

you can switch the trader to get a higher repair

[umbral minnow]

Check repair cost

When I press repair button nothing happens

[bold kernel]

If you repair it with skier or mechanic it might gain a few points

And then you’ll be able to repair

Right now it isn’t gaining any points

[umbral minnow]

It's the same with everyone

[bold kernel]

Then sell it to fence and buy a new one

[umbral minnow]

I just want to figure out if it's a bug or not

[bold kernel]

It’s not

[rocky ocean]

i guess its not too damaged enough

[bold kernel]

The armour is just right around that point where it can’t quite be repaired

[amber saffron]

Yes, im finally level 5!

Now i can use the flea market

[rocky ocean]

gj!!

[bold kernel]

ok so

[amber saffron]

Thanks!

[bold kernel]

is there any reason

to sell stuff

to fence

[unique willow]

no

noen

nein

[rocky ocean]

if you cant sell it anywhere else

[bold kernel]

uhh

[rocky ocean]

you can trash it at fence

[unique willow]

flea is always an option and its always better option

[bold kernel]

flea>therapist>skier>mechanic>ragman?

Fence is for shit armour

[unique willow]

yes

[rocky ocean]

yesterday i had some stuff where i got more money from fence than flea market

[bold kernel]

@bold kernel ragman?

[rocky ocean]

yea it was shit armor iirc 😅

[bold kernel]

Rahman is for all the clothes and stuff that you can’t sell to skier

Mechanic for guns and parts that you can’t sell to skier

Skier is for anything you can’t sell to therapist

Prapor for grenades

Jaeger for melee weapons

Therapist for everything

I sell my ammo to pk to stock up on dollars but that’s personal preference

[amber saffron]

Whats a good sight (beginner) for PP-91 Kedr

[long spear]

therapist is basically for anything you cant equip

[bold kernel]

Ye

I always check the flea market if I think it’ll be expensive then I compare prices with therapist then go to skier then mechanic then ragman and finally sell my ammo and mags to peacekeeper

[unique willow]

does scav boss aggro without any previous agro?

[strange mural]

basically: kedr is pretty bad because it has bad ammo @amber saffron

the wiki has all the compatbile sights for it though

[amber saffron]

Ah

What good gun would you recommend

As i am now level 5. I can access the flea

[long spear]

for budget i recommend the adar because of the m855a1 ammo that is good and cheap

a lot of people recommend vepr km but it has more expensive ammo i believe

[amber saffron]

Alright ill try them out

What sight would you recommend with the ADAR

And do you suggest i purchase it from the flea market or from a trader

[long spear]

i mean for starting out you can just get a kobra i think its called

theres two types make sure you inspect for compatability

might as well from a trader if you can, since you need 1 mil in sales to level them to lvl 2

[fathom narwhal]

i thought 7.62 ps are good enough

[amber saffron]

Which trader do i get it from

[long spear]

ps is ok, but not as good as m855a1

[fathom narwhal]

aight

[long spear]

not sure what ps prices are

[fathom narwhal]

i never bought ps

i can usually get a stack just from scav runs

its pretty common imo

i did sell all my ps 5.45 for bt

[long spear]

well, just because you can get something from a run doesnt mean its worth using instead of selling

a lot of people think that way

[amber saffron]

So im sort of lost in the wiki

Where do i check the compatible sights?

[long spear]

https://www.eftdb.one/weaponmodding/220001/AK-74N/

this will be easier for you

[bold kernel]

If you search for the upper then there will be a section for mods. Just click on sights

[amber saffron]

Thanks!

[long spear]

sometimes you need to attach a rail or something to attach a scope on certain setups

so keep that in mind too

[amber saffron]

I dont see sights @bold kernel

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/ADAR_2-15_.223_Carbine#Pistol_grip

[long spear]

when i tried looking at wiki a month ago when i was learning it wouldnt show you all the options

[bold kernel]

Scope sorry

[long spear]

just use the site i linked

[bold kernel]

Also go to the page for the upper

[supple oak]

hey umm for some reason i can't put anything on flea market the button to put it on shows grey

the place offer button

[amber saffron]

Dont see scopes either 😛

[silver dome]

can someone tell me agood laodout for this gun?

[long spear]

@supple oak you can only have 3 auctions at once until you lvl up market rating

[supple oak]

i have none up thats the thing

[rocky ocean]

how do you get the auctions

[unique willow]

i would recommend you build the gun first volkov

[silver dome]

antaloly

[amber saffron]

Either im blind or scopes arent here either https://imgur.com/d48zGoV

[silver dome]

do u have enough to pay fees?

[bold kernel]

Here are all the compatible ones for Adar @amber saffron

[amber saffron]

Thanks a lot. Where'd you find it?

[silver dome]

@unique willow yeah , like isnt there a whole pistol grip , stock and reciever

that u can buy

[bold kernel]

On the wiki

Search for Adar 2-15 upper

That’s where sights are mounted so you gotta go to that page

[amber saffron]

Ah so its in the receiver sections

[bold kernel]

Ye

[long spear]

@amber saffron because you have to pick the receiver first for a scope to go on it

[amber saffron]

Do i need a receiver to put a scope as well

[bold kernel]

Ye

[scarlet breach]

Is market flipping against tos?

[amber saffron]

Yeah i see now. Thanks a lot for clearing it

[bold kernel]

You need a receiver for the gun to work

[amber saffron]

Market flipping?

[supple oak]

ih @silver dome oh nop i had my wallets in my tactical rig didnt even notice

[bold kernel]

No @scarlet breach

[amber saffron]

Yep. Everything is much clearer now. Thanks again!

[bold kernel]

No problem

[long spear]

@amber saffron some parts require other parts first

[unique willow]

so do bosses shoot player scavs even though they have not shot anyone?

[amber saffron]

Yeah i see

What ammo would you recommend for the ADAR?

[unique willow]

m995

[bold kernel]

If you have workbench level 1 then you can use the preset menu and play with modding and compatibility for free

[long spear]

m855a1 if you are poor or m995 is best

[bold kernel]

M855a1

[long spear]

m995 is best but costs 4 times as much

[unique willow]

adar is single shot so you gonna be tapping instead of spraying

better make those shots count

[amber saffron]

Yeah im pretty poor atm but ill get m995 when ive got money

M855A1 right, or M855?

[bold kernel]

If you’re poor just get m855a1 it is still a viable ammo

[long spear]

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Ballistics

[sweet lantern]

i fucking hate the toz

[long spear]

m855a1

[neat cave]

save money, use mosins, vepr hunters etc something cheap but reliable

[silver dome]

guys

[bold kernel]

How do i auto place somethin in a scav box?

[silver dome]

how do i attacha grip

[amber saffron]

Where should i buy m855a1 from?

[bold kernel]

Flea Market

[amber saffron]

Its still very expensive isnt it

[humble cave]

@silver dome there's no foregrip slot

[long spear]

just search for it on flea market

you will see traders and players

[amber saffron]

8700k rb for one bullet?

[long spear]

even if you dont have trader unlocked yet

m855a1 is 200 ish a bullet

as of like 2 days ago...

[amber saffron]

Oh ive put the price upside down

I see its 400 rn

[long spear]

hmm weird

that changed fast

[bold kernel]

@humble cave How do i quick place something in a Scav Box?

[humble cave]

@bold kernel drag it onto it

[bold kernel]

Oh so you got to drag?

Aight

[tribal cove]

I keep getting randomly 1 tapped, but only when I play pmc. Either that or I spot players and 1 tap them myself. Never had a face to face fight

[bold kernel]

Get tarkov’d lol

[rocky ocean]

i always see people recommending vepr or mosins why are fullauto rifles never really recommended?

[bold kernel]

Cuz they expensive

Al lot of these recommendations are for poorer players

If you have a lot of money then you can expirement more

[rocky ocean]

i feel like i find so many of them in every raid 👀

[amber saffron]

How do i check what receiver i have on my ADAR?

[unique willow]

generally the more bullets you shoot at the enemy, the higher chance they have of dying

[split vapor]

Cause you don’t need full auto to one tap a dude

[long spear]

full auto you will "waste" more money on good ammo

and good recoil autos cost money

[split vapor]

M1a and some m80

[long spear]

good recoil = less wasted ammo as well

@amber saffron just inspect it, and the site i linked will walk you through different parts and what they unlock

[rocky ocean]

you can still one tap people doesnt mean you have to go full auto

more for closer distances

[amber saffron]

Yeah i got it

Thanks

So for the 2-5 upper. What sight would you recommend (ADAR)?

And optic (if needed)

[long spear]

im not a sight expert in this game, but the ekp-8-18 is a good cheap one i believe only about 8 or 9k

[amber saffron]

Also whoever linked me https://www.eftdb.one/weaponmodding, is an angel. Much thanks!

Alright

Thanks

[long spear]

i think if you search kobra on flea market it will come up theres two variants

[bold kernel]

whats worth more, DVD or Syringe?

[strange mural]

SYRINGE IF I RECALL

[long spear]

syringe by a big margin

[bold kernel]

ty im mid raid lol

[strange mural]

dvds have no worth

[bold kernel]

Cross dont wnana do a duo shoreline?

[gray mountain]

fuck I just got giga scammed I think

[amber saffron]

Whats the difference between optic and sight?

[gray mountain]

Saw that the REAP-IR scope eyecup was worth 55k on the market and I put mine up

and it cost 25k to post it

[long spear]

sight is like iron sight

hard to see through i believe

[amber saffron]

If I dont use one, will it effect anything?

[gray mountain]

no

[amber saffron]

If i only use an optic

[long spear]

you can have an optic with no sight

or you can have both, and some sights i think give you a small ergonomics boost i believe

[gray mountain]

How important are eyecups for scopes?

[amber saffron]

It wont be without the reticle though right, if you understand what i mean

[long spear]

some scopes and optics can be obstructed by sights though i had that happen to me once

so make sure you test it in shooting range or offline imo

[amber saffron]

Alright

Thanks

[strange mural]

@gray mountain dont use them

They limit your FoV

[gray mountain]

then I just lost 25k posting that thing?

[amber saffron]

What's a good magazine for the ADAR?

[gray mountain]

Anything cheap thats 30 rounds

[amber saffron]

Lemme check

[long spear]

a cheap 30 rounder is fine

the benefits from expensive same size magazines are usually sorta low

even though even expensive ones arent that costly

[gray mountain]

If you want to pay a bit more for some better "stats" then go for the Troy Battlemag

[amber saffron]

HK Steal?

Im level 5 atm

[gray mountain]

this

[long spear]

just right click adar, click linked search, go to gear mods and then magazines

[long spear]

and check pricing

[vague wind]

Is there a scope like the PSO that isn't so fucking far zoomed in?

[bold kernel]

no

yes

maybe

[gray mountain]

Its Gear Mods btw

[long spear]

oh my bad

i always forget, it seems like a magazine almost should be considered functional lol

[amber saffron]

I can get the Troy Battlemag

Should i?

Is it good, in comparison to the HK Steal?

[long spear]

just check the prices and stats man

i already answered that, the benefits are small for same size mags

[amber saffron]

Ah i see

[long spear]

so cheap ones are fine

especially for starting

[amber saffron]

Gotcha

Thanks a lot

[long spear]

its better to teach you things you can learn from than just answer this or that

[amber saffron]

Yeah true

[robust jackal]

@vague wind maybe the mostrum

[amber saffron]

Im so glad I dont have to use the ADAR with the 10 mag

30 mag is sooooooo much better!

[gray mountain]

What are some of the best things I can sell to Peacekeeper without getting less value because Im not selling to a Rubles trader?

Yeah having bigger mags really makes a difference

[split vapor]

Everything you sell to a trader will always be less then why would sell it for

Tbh just buy and sell his weapons to him

[unique willow]

just buy dollars

you wont lose anything

[split vapor]

Eh too much time

[amber saffron]

Can i remove the iron sight from the ADAR?

Oh i could remove it

[bold kernel]

Can I have some help with modding a gun??

[strange mural]

Im in a hurry so general modding tips
Wiki has complete modding sections
And ingame you can build a workbench in hideout to mod weapons

[bold kernel]

its nothing big

i just need to know what do I need to connect the prs gen3 to my m4

Did they ever say anything about doing something with matchmaking

[strange mural]

Only that people shouldnt be able to abuse ping

[bold kernel]

No plans to remove groups from solo gamers?

[gray mountain]

This site also seems useful https://www.eftdb.one/weaponmodding

[amber saffron]

Yeah. It really is!

[strange mural]

Hyporian itd make no sense.

Also that sitr wsnt nearly up to date last i checked

[amber saffron]

Ive been using that. Someone linked it to me up here, and im in love with the site!

[bold kernel]

Why not

I'm so tired of getting killed by 5 mans

[strange mural]

It would make the game much more boring

[bold kernel]

Incredibly demotivating as a solo player

[strange mural]

And ruin the aspect of random pvp

[bold kernel]

I cant find the thing that I need

[strange mural]

This game isnt supposed to be happy motivation

-nikita

[bold kernel]

it doesnt show me the stock I bought, even though its compatible

[strange mural]

That site isnt completely up to date

[bold kernel]

How on earth would removing 5v1's ruin the aspect of random pvp

so then can i get some help?

[amber saffron]

Where do i unlock weapon modification?

[strange mural]

Would limit what kind of pvp youd face

Workbench hideout

Cali

[bold kernel]

Well it's limited now too isn't it

[amber saffron]

Aight

Thanks

[bold kernel]

It's not 1v100

Or 1v12

That doesn't make sense

[long spear]

@bold kernel some stocks require a certain buffer tube

[bold kernel]

I mean fair if you wanna say the game is fine as it is right now

which one?

[strange mural]

Playing as a squad only knowing youd play against squadtd would just be zzz

And making more limitd matchmaking would slow ques

[bold kernel]

But those are not valid arguments for INSANELY frustrating game mechanics for beginner solo players

[amber saffron]

I should probably take a break and sleep now, its almost 1

[long spear]

its supposed to be hard, nikita says himself in seriousness multiple times tarkov isnt designed to be fun lol

[bold kernel]

I've been killed by large groups over 10 times today

[long spear]

a certain degree of seriousness anyway

[bold kernel]

I've done 20 raids if u count my scav runs

[amber saffron]

Goodnight. Thanks a lot to everyone who helped me escape Tarkov!

[silver dome]

np

[bold kernel]

I am level 16

[silver dome]

hyporian

what map?

[amber saffron]

Sorry for all the trouble i gave with my noob questions

[bold kernel]

Interchange and customs

[amber saffron]

Have a great day!

[silver dome]

customs?

[strange mural]

No problem.

[silver dome]

i never see large groups

[strange mural]

You did good

[silver dome]

on there

only 2-3

[long spear]

i dont run into squads usually when i play

might just be bad luck

[strange mural]

I just ditch

[bold kernel]

It's not usually as extreme as today, I agree

[strange mural]

And lurk

[bold kernel]

I mean that's the reason I play those maps

[long spear]

gambling is fun xD

[bold kernel]

To avoid getting blasted by groups of 5 over and over again

Yet it's exactly what happened today

I should probably stop complaining and stop playing if I'm not enjoying the game ^^

good luck

[long spear]

ive never seen bigger than a group of 3

so idk

[unique willow]

i've seen a couple five man groups in interchance

[bold kernel]

@bold kernel best way to avoid groups of 5 in customs is to avoid the woods and stay away from other spawn points

[strange mural]

Honestly now the place between oli and ultra should be avoided

Its full of sweat

[silver dome]

im running customs

with this

[bold kernel]

yes i agree with this 100%

[silver dome]

loadout

its sad if you bump into me

[strange mural]

Why flex

[bold kernel]

you get people who being meta m4s to rape solo players

[long spear]

i dont think you need 4 50 round magazines lol

[silver dome]

😄 true

[unique willow]

tell me when you go ingame, imma come snipe you

[long spear]

maybe 3 at most i would carry

[silver dome]

anyone can kill me with a firm pistol shot

i never wear my visor

just aim for my face

[bold kernel]

m1a is cringe bro you want the fal

[strange mural]

M1a is gut too

[silver dome]

m1a meh

i like it but its semi

not too nice for times when the enemy knows where u are

and is close af

[strange mural]

Fals recoil isnt worth managing

[silver dome]

same with sa58

the recoil on them is aids

[strange mural]

Yeah
Well modding them is

They dont have too much rec mods

[bold kernel]

when i do night runs bursting fal is great

[strange mural]

Dont need burst most times

[bold kernel]

its great for both woods and fact

[strange mural]

One tap

Or tap spam if they live

Fal+flir is dirty

[unique willow]

volkov tell me when you que in

[bold kernel]

i never use anything besides m80 so i have to burst

[strange mural]

No

M80 is the best anyway

Lmao

Youd have to burst more on the others

Btw im not judging or being mean

Im just saying i play diffrently

[bold kernel]

comtacs > everything else

[long spear]

gross

cant stand comtacs

[strange mural]

Yeah

Sordins just beat em

Im8

[robust jackal]

why can't i make this ammo?

i have everything and workbench lvl 2 ? Workbench flashing for some reason

[unique willow]

comtacs are the second worst, but if you swap between them it doesnt feel too good either

[strange mural]

Generator?

[unique willow]

its just best if you stick with one

[strange mural]

This.

Find what you like and stick.

[robust jackal]

generator is running

and has fuel

[strange mural]

Claim items

First

[long spear]

@robust jackal hideout can be buggy from my experience, maybe try relaunching game if the claim thing isnt the problem

[strange mural]

"Items ready"

Yeah

[long spear]

hideout is new so it has bugs

[unique willow]

how long does basic fuel tank last for?

[robust jackal]

how to use hideout to make money kappa

[strange mural]

[robust jackal]

making money is hard kappa

[bold kernel]

making money makes me sad

[plucky dirge]

[warm rover]

pepega pistol runs on factory. Was about to do the letter quest, ended up killing everyone in factory with a pistol.. lol

[bold kernel]

[grave helm]

how much cost an Mcase

[unique willow]

like 300k

[celest sundial]

just completed delivers from the past

dropping off that package was nerve wrecking

[grave helm]

damn 2 mcase and I only have enoug slots for one

[brazen owl]

What are the most important rooms on resort?

[grave helm]

how long does the smuggler boat take to come back?

[unique willow]

till the next game

[split vapor]

What do you mean

smugglers isnt a one time use

its either open or not

[bold kernel]

Is the relay worth switching out for the GoldenState?

[split vapor]

and if you spawned on the correct side

what

[bold kernel]

Goldenstar*

[rocky ocean]

is it possible to put a scope on the mosin inf. carbine?

[split vapor]

you dont goki

[mighty jasper]

Guys I'm not sure how much assistance I can get on this but it appears I'm struggling to spot people

[split vapor]

because of the bolt

[mighty jasper]

Any tips on that?

[split vapor]

youll need a sniper var

[boreal wagon]

I need help finding evac points on costums

[split vapor]

wiki customs

[rocky ocean]

otherwise i would have found a mount through the linked search right?

[split vapor]

scroll for maps

[boreal wagon]

I did

[split vapor]

and

what exits do you have

[rocky ocean]

can i send a link to a customs map?

[split vapor]

you can get a sniper var mosin and either use the tri rail or the railed kochetov mount

[bold kernel]

Is the Vaseline more Valuable than the Bloodset?

[split vapor]

neither are worth jack all

[bold kernel]

But for a beginner?

My character just jumped without using spacebar. 😐

[split vapor]

like 10k for a slot item is okay

[bold kernel]

hm

[unique willow]

i would say for a beginner 3k per slot is okay and 10k is already good

[long spear]

vaseline and bloodset are both around 10k at least

not that bad

slot wise

[strange mural]

@mighty jasper looks to me like you got ignored or im bad at spotting too. I suggest you just play more, play slower, and maybe fiddle with your settings in offline mode to see if theres a minimal difference that helps you spot easier

[long spear]

vaseline is probably closer to 20k on flea market

[blissful trench]

Killa just scared me so hard i peed a little

[strange mural]

10k slot value is worth it for me.

[long spear]

^

[bold kernel]

Ive got this helmet on, what headset can i use for it?

[strange mural]

20k is very good value and anything beyond is gamma

None

Its a closed helmet

[bold kernel]

oof

aight

[strange mural]

Generally the tankier helmets have no headsets

[frosty plinth]

unless you're running labs or factory or scav boss hunting I wouldn't suggest wearing that (or very experienced)

[unique willow]

honestly i would, i have noticed that i dont look around as much as i should since i rely far too much on hearing. when you know you wont hear anything you are going to look more and start looking more which is quite important in this game

[long spear]

eh, thats not really better than being able to hear

[unique willow]

yea its not

[long spear]

you cant always see them

[unique willow]

but you learn to look around more

there are more situtiations where you cant hear

either way

[strange mural]

You learn to look around more as you play more too

[frosty plinth]

I don't think everyone needs to remove their hearing to learn to look around constantly

[strange mural]

[long spear]

^

[unique willow]

yea but it forces you to learn quite fast

[strange mural]

Even with headset i spinnnn around

I look towards lines i cant hear generally

Or stay aeay from such lines

[long spear]

honestly im looking around less the more experienced i am, since i know my surroundings better

[strange mural]

Yeh

I feel i know where to look ya kno

But then theres that one cheeky cunt in that one place you dont expect
You will expect it next time.

[unique willow]

yea

you should look around more

[long spear]

not necessarily true really

[unique willow]

not just assume there are only certain places people can be at

if you assume people can only be in places that you know where they commonly are, you are guaranteed to die from people in less common places where you didnt assume one would be at

[long spear]

yeah but this game just like anything in life is about finding the right balance

[daring ember]

sup boys

[tribal cove]

My standard stash is literally full after 8h of playing.

[strange mural]

You need to manage it

Backbags inside of backbags, grips and mags off of guns

[tribal cove]

Did that

I got 8 bp

I should sell some

[unique willow]

buy items cases

[strange mural]

Also its not that i dont look around btw
Its just that generally you dont need a fullsweep everywhere

[tribal cove]

Where from?

[strange mural]

No need to really sell backbags

They just go inside each others

[tribal cove]

Where do i get cases from?

[strange mural]

The flea market

Very expensive

Just sell most of the stuff that you get but wont use

[tribal cove]

Not lvl 5 yet :)

I got a automatic ak

[long spear]

well do more pmc runs so you hit 5 imo

[strange mural]

Dissasemble weapons, sell sights and suppressors to flea

[tribal cove]

Forgot the calibre. But not .366

[strange mural]

Other than that sell everything therapist>skier>mechanic

[tribal cove]

Oke

[unique willow]

its generally a good idea to just sell basically everything at low level, when you look at something just think would you take that in the next raid, if not then sell it

[tribal cove]

What should i do with my lab card?

[unique willow]

sell

in flea

[daring ember]

^^

[unique willow]

wait for that

[tribal cove]

Oke

[strange mural]

Its 200k ish on flea

[tribal cove]

Damn

[stark moat]

Does anything good come from a friend request by a random person you just shot in the face last raid?

[unique willow]

yes

a return shot

[strange mural]

Theyll just be very

[tribal cove]

Random pmc 1 tapped with 12g

All the loot I got from other pmc's. I am bad at looting

[daring ember]

@stark moat accept and see what they say in chat

[stark moat]

Maybe if they send it again, I already declined. Figured they just wanted a can of because they're butthurt.

[bold kernel]

question

if i upgrade my game

will the vendor rep increase

?

[unique willow]

no

[bold kernel]

scam

[strange mural]

yes

it will

if the edition has the extra rep @bold kernel

talking from experience

[bold kernel]

by how much

found it myself

nvm

[tribal cove]

How much is a wepons case on flea market?

[unique willow]

just above 1 mil to near 4

[tribal cove]

Big oof

[strange mural]

bois what mags yall use on 545

[bold kernel]

Lost my tactec yesterday so rip

[zealous forge]

F

Tactecs are nice

I actually got mine back from insurance once, tho I lost it again

[hallow pelican]

Im hoping mine comes back on insurance. I have had it for like a month

[long spear]

a month wut

[hallow pelican]

Same with my ak103

[strange mural]

i bought a junk box, a medi case and a freezer yesterday

[zealous forge]

I had mine for three days lmao

Freezer looks tempting

[hallow pelican]

Some buddies gave me the tactec and its survived like 8 or 9 deaths so far

[broken briar]

i want to commit livent rn

[zealous forge]

I bought an item case but sold it back because I was just hording shit

[strange mural]

i had enough food to fill it 75%

[unique willow]

less than 30min left when i join as a scav and techlight still unlooted with graphics card and everything

[strange mural]

i have two lucky boxes now

both almost full

[broken briar]

i died to a glitch witha full inv very fun!

[strange mural]

which glitch

one where you just start dying?

[broken briar]

insta died in reserve when i walked through a doorway

[strange mural]

maybe a mine?

raiders?

[broken briar]

still got my vitality up to 3

[bold kernel]

I had a glitch where I randomly broke my legs. It’s called running off a building

[zealous forge]

Wait is there mines?

[strange mural]

yep

theres a minefield

on reserve and shore

[hallow pelican]

Shorline near the base at south east

[strange mural]

i hat erunning out of energy/hudration

0 energy kills you in minutes

[broken briar]

it says its a scav but hell it wasnt i was 2 millimeter through the door

[hallow pelican]

Player scav

[strange mural]

reserve bosses are legit on adderal

[long spear]

maybe behind u

[bold kernel]

It could’ve been glukar

[hallow pelican]

Or scav boss

[broken briar]

didnt hear bullets

also didnt list a place where i was shot

[daring ember]

☝️

fucking Microsoft WORD

@broken briar can you stop fucking up my layouts ? thx

[broken briar]

sorry i got a screwdriver up my ass

[bold kernel]

Would you like to upgrade to Screwdriver Pro?

[broken briar]

sure

what does it cost?

[bold kernel]

Money

[broken briar]

ok

[bold kernel]

It cost 3 money

No 3mil roubles

I have 8k left. :/

[silver dome]

someone named this scav after a russian food

[north turret]

Is this the right place to find a sherpa? Im as green as it gets

[bold kernel]

Feels like im struggling..

[broken briar]

i hit a guy ............ for 270

[split vapor]

how money is literally the easiest thing to get

[long spear]

its only easy if you know how

[bold kernel]

Yeah im strugglin.

[fathom narwhal]

maybe u should just quick extract as a scav

[bold kernel]

Go reserve with a rig and loot white and black knight then extract manhole, do this for a couple of hours and you'll be good

[fathom narwhal]

if u really need money bad

[zealous forge]

S C A V R U N

[fathom narwhal]

usually gets u 20-40k

[bold kernel]

Go reserve with a rig and loot white and black knight then extract manhole, do this for a couple of hours and you'll be good

[fathom narwhal]

and sometime more if u spawn with rare loot like good keys

[zealous forge]

Just lurk interchange and get some shit

[fathom narwhal]

^

do you guys only use flashlight for night raid?

or is there any other use

[grave helm]

I never use it for night raids

it reveals your position which sucks

[fathom narwhal]

a ok

it doesnt blind people?

[grave helm]

it does

can someone link me the ammo dmg spread cheat?

[fathom narwhal]

ok

[grave helm]

nvm got it

[reef prairie]

what happens if i get a "run through" on a scav raid? i read it doesnt do anything but that post was a year old

[fathom narwhal]

still doesnt do anything

as a scav

[reef prairie]

ok, thanks

i couldnt resist

[fathom narwhal]

i mean

i do the same thing

if i have something worth 200k

[bold kernel]

Getting a “run through” doesn’t do anything ever. It just doesn’t count towards a “survive a raid” quest

[reef prairie]

for a moment i thought i dont get the loot or something

i mean, spawn near an exit with a sniper + scope and 4 mags and a key, of course i run

[fathom narwhal]

^^

[reef prairie]

and i found a mosin on the way, i guess someone dumped it!?

[tribal cove]

Is ADAR 2-15 any good? I have 2 of them and I like that it has a rail

[fathom narwhal]

yes

if u can get the m855a1 bullet

300-350 roub per bullet

[tribal cove]

Nice

Sks or adar tho?

[reef prairie]

if you mount a sight make sure you dont have the m4 front sight on

[fathom narwhal]

adar is superior

[reef prairie]

i made that mistake

[fathom narwhal]

ooof

[broken briar]

whats the best way to get a better container other than grinding my life away for punisher or having level 29

[fathom narwhal]

buying eod /s

[tribal cove]

I found one with the front sight on and an acog(forgot exact name). When I try to remove the front sight it makes the gun red

[fathom narwhal]

or you can try

buying from someone

u need a gas block

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/MK12_Low_Profile_Gas_Block

@tribal cove

[tribal cove]

Peacekeeper lvl 3

Not gonna happen soon

But thx

[fathom narwhal]

yea

i got them from flea

[tribal cove]

True

I gope to unlock the flea tomorrow

[fathom narwhal]

u can try and level up mechanic too

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Windham_Weaponry_Rail_Gas_Block

level 2 mechanic

[mighty jasper]

@strange mural Oh I just figured it was a silly question to begin with, thank you for the kind advice though

[strange mural]

hey man

always just hit us up if you have questions

[mighty jasper]

Sure thing :)

[strange mural]

i had problems too and i can say that as i played i learnt to spot people

[mighty jasper]

How curious

Thought I maybe just need glasses.

[strange mural]

its just all experience

yeah my eyes got tired fast when i started

i play with my reading glasses now

[mighty jasper]

ah.

[strange mural]

but definetly spotting is about experience just as much as it is vision

also hearing is important, and thats what the headsets ingame are for

[mighty jasper]

Yeah I use those

but say, last time I went down with a 120k worth of gear and a PMC with a pistol camping in a random bush killed me

guess he had a muzzle flash couldnt see him.

no headset could spot that

[silver dome]

120K ISNT ALOT

[mighty jasper]

its over 10% of my current cash

[strange mural]

it is for when you start out

well yeah

that is kinda unlucky

[silver dome]

;p;

[fathom narwhal]

maybe not too older players

its something people have to get use to

[strange mural]

but generally its hard to see from bushes

just as much as it is to see into them

[fathom narwhal]

money fear

[silver dome]

you can earn it back in one interchange run , ive been getting 25 million per run recently

[strange mural]

[silver dome]

interchange best map , 250 million worth of loot spread

over maop

(im lying) its probably the worst map

[strange mural]

no.

[mighty jasper]

Yeah I'm on interchange rn doing a skav run

[strange mural]

best tip dont listen to his guy

[mighty jasper]

oh

[fathom narwhal]

25 mil

[mighty jasper]

:(

[fathom narwhal]

if u can extract

[mighty jasper]

I was told it sgood

[fathom narwhal]

well it is

[strange mural]

but yeah interchange is defo

[silver dome]

i ts noit

[strange mural]

very very good for beginners

[silver dome]

they act like gpus spawn everywhere

it doesnt

at all

if there is even one that spawns , theres a hatchling that snipes it

[strange mural]

that is just your limited experience

if i recall you had to ask us how to enter the mall less than a week ago so

[silver dome]

i did

its aids

i know it is

[bold kernel]

Yikes lol

[fathom narwhal]

oof

[bold kernel]

Volk getting called out

[fathom narwhal]

i usually gave up on the tech store

i like to go on custom

and check all the secret stash

for money

but thats me

[strange mural]

yeah you dont need to check techstores at all

to make easy 200k a run

[fathom narwhal]

^

[strange mural]

[bold kernel]

I like shoreline personally. Even if you stay out of resort it’s still profitable

[strange mural]

totally

[fathom narwhal]

yup

[strange mural]

shoreline has a shit ton of loot

[bold kernel]

It’s got a lot of stuff for the hideout

[mighty jasper]

any good areas for scav runs on shoreline?

[fathom narwhal]

avoid resort and ur all good

unless ur late in the raid

[strange mural]

yep. look at the wikis maps

[fathom narwhal]

then u can check it out

[mighty jasper]

If I'm late in the raid isnt resort already looted?

[fathom narwhal]

yea

but dead bodies

[mighty jasper]

oh

right

[strange mural]

this for general loot

this for hidden stashes

[bold kernel]

The orange circles are my spots

[strange mural]

[fathom narwhal]

wew

hidden stashes in shoreline

aight

time to be a shoreline main

[strange mural]

there are like 30

[bold kernel]

orange circles are gayzone

[mighty jasper]

What are hidden stashes?

[bold kernel]

don't enter

There’s 37 I think

[fathom narwhal]

nou

[pearl flame]

hey im not trying to rant, but I just got killed even though I was a solid 1-2sec around the corner on my screen, how often does that happen? never seen it on stream and stuff

[strange mural]

@mighty jasper buried loot

a barrel or a pack of leaves

[crisp urchin]

Desync probably

[pearl flame]

dang

had some fat loot

and a scav with a mosin had to ruin it all

[strange mural]

it can contain almost anything too

[crisp urchin]

I haven't had that happen to me yet. Been seeing some spikes here and there though

[fathom narwhal]

^

[pearl flame]

https://youtu.be/JjVsCM4a3BI

heres the vid

[fathom narwhal]

not a lot of people actually check them

[pearl flame]

hes on top of the tank

[mighty jasper]

Mostly valuable I assume?

[fathom narwhal]

im pretty surprised

[strange mural]

clase extremely random,

[fathom narwhal]

its random

sometime

u get m855 bullet

[strange mural]

but mostly 30-70k ea

[fathom narwhal]

and then another time a paracord

[strange mural]

but it can be veeeery bad

[fathom narwhal]

its rng

[strange mural]

yeah

[fathom narwhal]

but as snutri say

[strange mural]

but its very safe

[fathom narwhal]

you will come out with 30 - 70k

if u check like what

4-5 of them?

[strange mural]

nah usually you only need a few

for that amount

[bold kernel]

Whats the best 5.45x39 ammo?

[fathom narwhal]

a kk

[strange mural]

bs

[bold kernel]

I’ve had one with 762 ps three cricket lighters and two matches
