Word hard

[bold kernel]

The mini mosin is life

Just realised my comment is half an hour late

[grave helm]

Nvidia filters will get banned aswell

[bold kernel]

[ember oak]

what

[long spear]

?

[ember oak]

hit count 3

[long spear]

oh haha

weird

[ember oak]

1 bullet 3 hits

guess it was some kind of boomerang bullet

[long spear]

maybe it has something to do with bullet fragmentation? probably a bug i would bet though

[strange mural]

Ive heard its fragmentation too

[robust jackal]

Probably frag

Sometimes you get hit one place and yo u take dmg in many places

[strange mural]

@grave helm you cant really ban nvidia filters as they are literally built in on your graphics card but

Who knows

You cant cheat with them anyway

[golden geyser]

Cheapest and decent T4 helmet w/ hearing, any suggestions?

[long spear]

you mean helmet?

[golden geyser]

Yes, sorry bout that

[strange mural]

If talking helmets

The mich s are nice

[golden geyser]

Oh okay, thanks 😄

[strange mural]

No ear covers but pretty cheap for t4

[open basin]

i like that i can make a magazine case from a toilet now

[golden geyser]

Hell yeah

[long spear]

what better time to make a magazine case than on the shitter

[golden geyser]

Any difference between 2001 and 2002

[strange mural]

Uhhh
Colour iirc

[golden geyser]

Oh okay

[strange mural]

Inspect to see the stats

Might be something

[golden geyser]

2 more armor points

[fickle kettle]

@golden geyser rich yet ?

[golden geyser]

lol

Eh, I lost a bunch of gear sets and guns yesterday

but yeah I still got some goods

[fickle kettle]

@golden geyser let just hope we never came across in Reserve

[golden geyser]

Haha

Well, you don't really play when I play

@sherpa

[zealous pier]

my god thats intense just to find someone to play one game and give me the run down yikes

[clever summit]

im a big noob i have start 5 hours ago but i can try to help you if you want @zealous pier

[zealous pier]

im down to play for sure

[white sparrow]

yo

[zealous pier]

@clever summit I pmed you

[white sparrow]

im new to tarkov but play fps games 24/7 diamond on siege, almost 6000 on pubg, lem on cs, but i want to get into this game and i heard that its nothing like these other games

any help?

[long spear]

@zealous pier its kinda late for me but i can help you tomorrow possibly if i have time

[zealous pier]

I have a lot of experience in Milsim type games such as Arma and Squad @white sparrow I dont have much experience but I can tell you what to expect in this genre?

[white sparrow]

sure

[zealous pier]

@long spear for sure my PMs are open

[white sparrow]

since ive never rlly been into milsims

i wanted to get into the game

[long spear]

@white sparrow i can help you a bit earlier in the day tomorrow but its a bit late to get started right now for me

or you can request a sherpa by typing !sherpa and following the prompts

[acoustic timber]

AVS any good?

[frosty plinth]

very

[grave helm]

@white sparrow the biggest tip anyone here can give you. All the other FPS doesn't matter, tarkov is smth else. Try not to play aggro and listen carefully 2 the sound. Play offline first and get to know the maps before you jump onto your main char

[dusky hazel]

^

[steady pilot]

^

[long spear]

i found it fun to just play the maps in online, with a detailed map on my laptop to reference

[grave helm]

I went straight for my Main char and had a map to look where I was. Ended up me losing all my guns/gear and had to run around as a hatchling & a lot of Scav runs

[long spear]

lol

offline just felt like a chore for me so i opted to just learn online

although i did do offline once for factory, but its real small

for that annoying 3rd prapor quest

[grave helm]

I play the game for 1 week now and sometimes I suck af and sometimes I own. I made over 1,5m rubel "today" with Main char runs.

[long spear]

nice

the more you learn, the more you earn

that wasnt a planned rhyme for the record

[grave helm]

It's pretty simple tho. I made quit a lot with scav runs as well. Just run Factory and if you're lucky you kill a fully geared person or get a Key card

[steady pilot]

i dont know how factory ends up looping around to be the money maker or beginner friendly map

[main grail]

Mmmm learn customs first

Lots of missions on it

Extracts are all w or e

[grave helm]

I play only Customs, Interchange and Factory as a Scav

[main grail]

And learn interchange for money

[long spear]

reserve is a great money maker as well

[main grail]

Interchange has good money

[grave helm]

Im currently like 300k again away from Scav luckybox

[long spear]

if you know the spots and get there first, reserve has better money than interchange tbh

but u gotta beat the hatchlings

[main grail]

Yea

Idk not allot of kitted people run reserve tho imo

[open basin]

money making isnt very hard

[main grail]

And killa armour is just so strong

[open basin]

interchange is a squads map

[main grail]

I did like hatchling runs on interchange for one hour and got enough for items case

[open basin]

so you have to be careful of that when you play pmc

[main grail]

Tru

But wiping teams feel sooooo good

[open basin]

also yeah you can def just do a quick hacthling run of interchange by going to tech stores

[main grail]

Mm frfr

[open basin]

i havent had a successful raid in a bit

[main grail]

Found 4 graphics cards one run lol

[open basin]

i've been trying these mosin quests

[long spear]

my jaegar is staying at 3 screw those quests

[open basin]

not taking much of a hit in terms of money with these mosin quests

but man my survival rate is plummeting

but i dont really care too much about it

[grave helm]

I got lucky yesterday with 2 Meds Cases but could only take one since I only had a small bagpack

Sad part is Im lvl 15 and didnt unluck jaeger yet lol

[open basin]

i tried doing some mosin quests on woods night

but some dbag with a thermal sniped my ass

jaeger is such a pain

im just trying to get him to lvl 2

[long spear]

yeah his quests are annoying for sure

[open basin]

god i hate jaeger

[long spear]

if jaeger were president i would vote to impeach him

[silk laurel]

does the zhuk make it unbalanced

[robust jackal]

Not the biggest fan of that helmet with visor

[ember oak]

why is that?

[long spear]

isnt it the cheapest lvl 3 faceshield while retaining hearing?

[robust jackal]

Cuz i don't use lvl 3 faceshields

I mostly don't do faceshields unless running factory or something like that

Just use a Altyn in those cases cuz factory u don't need ears XD

[long spear]

i dont really do helmets unless faceshield

[robust jackal]

Say that to pot helmet saving my life today

Second time this week penis helmet stops a bullet and saves me

Not even bounces

XD

I like lvl 4 helmets the most though

Ulaac and AHHC

[long spear]

i mean yeah i guess depending on if you have an expensive loadout something is better than nothing as an average, but if im running expensive i want a faceshield so a scav doesnt one shot me in the face randomly

[neat spruce]

So, if I'm able to keep a balance of 1mm rubles, what kind of gear should I start running with to take on other PMCs? Or am I not rich enough yet?

[open basin]

okay i dont like this tarkov shooter questline

[robust jackal]

1 million is not much

[long spear]

@neat spruce armor pen ammo is your number one priority

[open basin]

1mill is not a lot

[robust jackal]

I had 7.6 mil two days ago

[neat spruce]

Okay, but if I can't shoot fast enough, then I die anyway.

[robust jackal]

Now i have 2.8 mil cuz i used it all on cases and hideout upgrades

[long spear]

armor isnt going to save you against a geared player

[open basin]

you'll prob close to spending over 200k per setup once you get over lvl 15 and wanting to fight against other PMCs

[long spear]

so you are going to need to shoot fast enough

[robust jackal]

Do hidden stashes run on interchange

Easy,Safe and profitable

[long spear]

armor is more for protecting against scavs and lower geared / newer players

[robust jackal]

What i try to aim for whenever i lose expensive shit, its just compensate 4 it with money

Lvl 5 and 4 saved me many timea against players less than that just go a rig and a backpack

Got a pretty gud raid on customs one of those days

Just went in with a a wtrig and a berkut

[round ridge]

what are the rates in dorms marked romo

[robust jackal]

And a vepr hunter on customs

Killed 4 pmc's and 3 scav's

I got like 25 scav kills on Oli today

They never

[bold kernel]

I just downloaded the game lads h e l p

[robust jackal]

Stopped

Comming

[open basin]

yeah if you get the drop on em with the hunter then it dont matter what armor they got

[long spear]

yeah ive had the scavs keep coming in oli 3 different times

[robust jackal]

Sucked bad

Cuz i died later going to extraction because i couldn't even get to loot the 4 pmcs we killed there

[long spear]

@bold kernel i can help you tomorrow if its earlier in the day, its a bit late for me now

[robust jackal]

Me and snutri

[long spear]

or you can type !sherpa and follow the prompts and they will get back to you

[bold kernel]

thx

[warm rover]

Is Labs where the end game is ?

[long spear]

yeah labs is basically end game

[warm rover]

cos I see a lot of streamers going there once they acquired kappa n such

[long spear]

it has a room that the key to it costs 20 million last i checked

[quick moss]

red keycard

[warm rover]

yeah i noticed that too when I was searching them. Quite a lot

[quick moss]

lot of those key cards aren't worth buying anyways

190k

most of the key cards under 180k get sniped by botters

[warm rover]

The entry key to Labs, do you need it to get there every time ? cos I saw it has only once entry to get in, not unlimited

[long spear]

yes, a new one each raid

[quick moss]

New one each raid

[warm rover]

ah, but why xD

[quick moss]

Because the loot there is good

[coarse yarrow]

anyone wanna do some early quests? im feeling like some less serious runs

[long spear]

to make it more interesting, and to take money out of the economy

[quick moss]

there are other places where you can make more money, I just play labs because it's more fun, also there aren't any mosinlings in bushes

Raiders aren't difficult to deal with as long as you dont run out in the open like an idiot

But now they spawn with as val and FAL's

[warm rover]

I actually am eager to see how the other maps would look like

like the streets of tarkov

[modern steppe]

ya same fr

tired of the woodsy maps

[warm rover]

I wonder if there's going to be a snow map xD

[night pewter]

Hey guys any one wanna play?

Im new i can use some tips

[frosty plinth]

labs is a blast

[quick moss]

yup

[frosty plinth]

also: Amazing. Some one came to camp outside dorms with a full kit (reap-ir thermal scope and everything)

attack 2 bag

[open basin]

wait up

[frosty plinth]

7n39 ammo, the works

[open basin]

so you dont get any rep with jaeger for completing wounded beast?

[idle bluff]

Correct.

[open basin]

yo

fuck this guy

[long spear]

@night pewter if you hit me up earlier in the day im willing to help

or you can type !sherpa and follow the prompts for someone to get in touch with you

[ember oak]

rain is stupid

fog is stupid

the sound in this game is stupid

[long spear]

most inanimate objects are rather stupid

i actually like the rain i think it sounds great in tarkov

[ember oak]

i have to spend 20k to get audio that sounds ok

its stupid

[long spear]

i prefer no headset myself...

20k isnt much though once you learn how to make money better

[stone surge]

@frosty plinth better off with BS than 7n39

[frosty plinth]

he had both, to be fair

[ember oak]

im making money just fine but spending 20k for audio every game is 🤦

[hoary locust]

anyone wanna run with a lvl 5?

[frosty plinth]

I just found it funny how ready this guy was ready* to camp in the bushes for exit frags with his thermal, and dies to a flick (random) reaction spray

[long spear]

well in real life audio is important, this is a military sim lol

[stone surge]

@ember oak if money's tight it's worth just buying the headset and save money by not going helm

[frosty plinth]

agreed there

[stone surge]

headset (sound) will save you more times than the helm will

[long spear]

^

[stone surge]

especially when talking about the lower tier ones

i mean airframe and up are pretty solid though

[open basin]

any tips for tarkov shooter pt 1

cuz i keep getting my cheeks clapped by pmcs before i can find any scavs 50m away from me

[ember oak]

fog and rain makes reserve unplayable when sniping

its fucking dumb

[long spear]

@open basin i just went to woods and it didnt take too long

[open basin]

where in woods

[long spear]

@open basin shoreline would be easy too

[open basin]

because i went to woods night

and i got my cheeks clapped by a guy with thermal

[stone surge]

in my experience night is harder than day

looting is a horrible experience w/o nvgs and all the geared players will have NVG's anyways

[open basin]

i was thinking of going to scav house but isnt that shturman is there

[copper laurel]

So In Sanitary Standards Pt.1 where I have to find 1 gas analyzer in raid, does it have to be the one in factory?

[open basin]

no

[long spear]

i got all my kills at scav house and lumber mill

although i died a few times

[stone surge]

@open basin Customs is decent for that quest aswell

[open basin]

where in shoreline would be decent

[long spear]

@copper laurel no

[stone surge]

Resort has quite some scavs

village has some aswell from time to time

[long spear]

shoreline, theres usually some at gas station and you have great vantage points

[stone surge]

otherwise go to the 2 villa houses

[open basin]

not resort

[long spear]

the box truck

[open basin]

i've only seen squads there

[long spear]

the tank area

swamp

along the road towards customs extract

[copper laurel]

Well, off to interchange then

[stark moat]

My ears were burning.

[open basin]

yeah i was gonna go to road to customs

[stone surge]

Red container / military outpost / container area / dorms / gas station all have scavs @ customs

[open basin]

also if i spawn by road to customs

how long would it take for scavs to spawn around that area

[long spear]

i think it depends on if they die at other locations but im not really sure

and then its random from there i think

but im just guessing

[stone surge]

red circles are scav-areas

[open basin]

yeah i've spawned in the trailer park area of customs and within like 2 mins the garage area and big red have scavs on em already

[long spear]

theres a lot more scav areas than that

[open basin]

but not at shoreline

[vague verge]

way more lol

[long spear]

you can find maps on wiki with the scav spawns

[stone surge]

ye there's more

but those are easy as they're plenty

idk how many you need to kill

but resort & gas station have quite a lot

[vague verge]

id run gas station

[long spear]

usually there are some gas station

[vague verge]

and take out the ones on the beach

[stone surge]

i didnt even circle the power station

but there's a lot there too

[vague verge]

and then run to scav island and there could be 2-3 more

[open basin]

yeah ill prob do that

[vague verge]

also at crane spawn 2-3

[stone surge]

the gas station ones are easy to snipe

[long spear]

theres a sniper at power station too on the roof

for your 50m

[vague verge]

you can also go upstairs in the pier and take them out from there

[stone surge]

ah yea and busstation under resort

also an option

plenty 😛

[open basin]

yeah i was trying to do it on woods

with no armor

so i could do two quests at once

[stone surge]

just keep in mind with scavs

[vague verge]

woods is stupid difficult right now

[stone surge]

even if you're on a good distance and they dont see you

[open basin]

why is that

[stone surge]

sometimes they snap onto you when you aim over them

(resulting in being spotted)

[vague verge]

shturman is a lazer beam

[stone surge]

Sthurman is imo the strongest raid boss

fk that guy Lol

[vague verge]

the new boss is gonna be crazy

[open basin]

cant you 1 tap him with a sniper

[stone surge]

goodluck 😄

[vague verge]

yeah but he can too

check this out 1 sec

[stone surge]

i mean, killa is notorious in CQB (when he isn't bugged or derping)

for throwing nades and going absolutely ham

[vague verge]

Street's of Tarkov's scav boss to have 1000 round backpack fed PKP with 7.62x54

[open basin]

i hate killa

that sounds aids

[stone surge]

you just have to go on a quest to kill sthurman

and you'll notice how fked that guy is

[vague verge]

peeking him is gonna be scary

if you even have a chance

[long spear]

the two times ive encounter killa i just shot him 20 times while he sat there

was a joke

[vague verge]

you got lucky lol

[stone surge]

yea thats what i mean wit killa

he sometimes buggs or derps out

[vague verge]

hes glitchy

[stone surge]

but if he's not, he mows you down

[vague verge]

just run on top of him

[open basin]

so for hideout what rank do i need jaeger for

[vague verge]

really just lvl 2 to get a basic startup

[stone surge]

2 i believe

[open basin]

like do i need jaeger rank 3 for hideout

[vague verge]

you will

[stone surge]

No

[vague verge]

but not for while

[stone surge]

atleast not for intelligence tier 3

which is far

assuming ur about to start

[vague verge]

his quest design is so weird

[open basin]

his quests suck

[vague verge]

they are just hard

[open basin]

fucking xbox 360 achievemnt ass motherfucker

[vague verge]

halo 3

[open basin]

im trying to do these mosin ones cuz the rest of his quests get even more ridiculous

[stone surge]

ppl say EoD rep bonus isn't as big of an advantage

but for jeager it as hell is

[vague verge]

oh man i didnt even realize i had that

[open basin]

yeah you get ez jaeger lvl 3

[vague verge]

i forgot about rep bonus

[stone surge]

@vague verge you only realize that the moment you have a friend

[open basin]

i have to get him from negative rep to .2

[stone surge]

that struggles to get him to lvl 2

[open basin]

like me

[stone surge]

EoD just gives you that as present

[vague verge]

jeez

thats rough

[stone surge]

I only did 2-3 quests for jeager as far as I remember and I got him LL3

my friend has to do about 10 if not more

to get him on 3

[vague verge]

are his quests now part of the collector?

[open basin]

then you also realize so many other traders quest gives you negative jaeger rep

[vague verge]

ive been wondering

[open basin]

so you dont even start at 0

you start at negative

[long spear]

yeah my jaegar is staying at 3

i cant be bothered

[stone surge]

the plus side is that jeager isn't THAT useful

as a trader

[open basin]

i just want jaeger 3 for hideout

[vague verge]

if hes not part of the kappa im not doing them

[open basin]

he's part of kappa

[vague verge]

sweet

[stone surge]

Vepr hunter mags & CMS kits are the only main things I generally want from him

[open basin]

one of the mods has kappa and had to do all of jaegers quest

his lvl 4 wares arent even that good

[stone surge]

and CMS you can just buy off flea, you don't need to buy them that often anyways

[open basin]

cms off the flea is like 10k more than what he sells them for i think

[stone surge]

ye true

but that's about the only really useful thing he sells

[open basin]

i just wish the quest design in tarkov wouldnt be so trash

[pseudo mural]

why don't more people run the RPK?

[long spear]

supposedly these will just be side quests somehow when it releases

[stone surge]

@pseudo mural coz it's not as good as alternatives in same caliber

[empty cedar]

hey guys im new to tarkov. i have played 4 raids and just suck

[stone surge]

while it's really expensive

[pseudo mural]

it's 45-49k

[stone surge]

AK-74M is 20k

[bold kernel]

Why use big gun when sell and buy many little guns

[stone surge]

and less recoil

[long spear]

@empty cedar if you hit me up earlier in the day tomorrow i can help

[robust jackal]

And Killa

[long spear]

its just too late for me today

[empty cedar]

@long spear thanks but im a night gamer

[pseudo mural]

rpk has less recoil than the AK-74m

[empty cedar]

cant play before 7pm

[pseudo mural]

er more recoil

[long spear]

7pm pst?

[pseudo mural]

sorry*

[empty cedar]

est

so 4pm pst

[long spear]

oh, well 7pm est is fine for me

[stone surge]

Pretty sure it costs a LOT more to get rpk on 50-55 recoil

[long spear]

i go to sleep around midnight est so

[empty cedar]

but tomorrow i wont be on i think

[stone surge]

than a ak-74m / ak-74n

ak-74n can even go below 50 recoil

for lower price

[empty cedar]

i just kinda need someone to do a raid with me and maybe talk me through it

[pseudo mural]

ak-74m vert recoil=139, RPK vert recoil=76

[stone surge]

idk playing with RPK is mostly for fun

@pseudo mural what

pretty sure you're looking at a folded ak-74m Lol

[pseudo mural]

okay unfolded

85 vert reocil vs 71 for RPK

[stone surge]

yes

and that's a 20k gun vs a 45k gun

now AK-74m can be modded to 50 recoil or less

[golden geyser]

Best TOZ ammo for range and armor pen.?

[stone surge]

whilst RPK can't or you'll have to pay a LOT more

ak-74m is 50 recoil for less than ~75k as a whole.

[long spear]

if you mean ammo instead of armor, https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Ballistics @golden geyser

shotguns suck vs armor

basically

[golden geyser]

Oh..

[stone surge]

@long spear o_o

have you ever been shot at by flachettes?

flachettes oneshot tier 6 armor

to infinity

[golden geyser]

Do they have range though

[empty cedar]

Anyone down to run a raid with me

[stone surge]

No

ppl run them in lockers / factory

[golden geyser]

Ah

[stone surge]

and they can oneshot tier 6

[golden geyser]

What gun shoots them?

[long spear]

hm, thats the first ive heard of that

[stone surge]

saiga for example

[mortal hull]

whats the best map to start on?

i keep joining dying right away repeat

[stone surge]

@mortal hull Interchange imo

it'll be tough to learn the map

[long spear]

looking at the wiki chart, flechette isnt good against tier 6 armor

[stone surge]

but it's easy to get money and avoid fights

[golden geyser]

It's 3 pen

[long spear]

unless the multiple pellets somehow damages the durability a lot or something, but ive never heard of that

[stone surge]

@long spear trust me

1 shot from flechettes

break zhuk armor

completely

[golden geyser]

So aim straight at the chest?

[stone surge]

i've killed plenty of zhuks in factory with flachettes

[long spear]

hm ok then

[stone surge]

it's cheesy af

[golden geyser]

or just headshots

[stone surge]

i just hipfire

it shits on armor anyways

so headshot is too much effort

[golden geyser]

With Saiga?

[stone surge]

yes

[golden geyser]

Sounds nice

[stone surge]

I would say try it

[golden geyser]

I might just fuck around with two mags and a Saiga with that then

[stone surge]

mod your saiga slightly, it doesnt even need to be expensive

just a monstr muzzle (i believe it's called? could be wrong)

and run flachettes

run in office/lockers

and just oneshot close range

[mortal hull]

anyone have a link to a detailed map of customs?

[stone surge]

just keep in mind that at >20meters it's gonna suck

[mortal hull]

im on customs and i want to extract but i dont know where i am

[stone surge]

@mortal hull check wiki for maps

[mortal hull]

the wiki maops wont open for me

[stone surge]

if you spawned left side, you have to go to the right side

if left side, go to rightside

[mortal hull]

i spawned by two big towers

[noble fog]

any changes to shotgun ammo recently? is it still flechette/ap20? i prefer flechettes on factory is that bad?

[golden geyser]

How far is the hallway on the top floor from one end to the other? Is that 20 meters

[stone surge]

@mortal hull https://gamepedia.cursecdn.com/escapefromtarkov_gamepedia/f/f9/CustomsMarvelin.jpg?version=1e3ab9b09d1dc6bc0eeef61b705e0b0b

[ripe knoll]

go to crossroads

[mortal hull]

TY VEYX

[stone surge]

ur most likely at ZB-1011

which is also an extract

you have to double click O

to see where you have to go

most likely crossroads/trailerpark

[mortal hull]

ruaf or factory shacks

im by zb 1011

i hope i can make it out of here

[stone surge]

@mortal hull those 2 extracts are in the middle

[robust jackal]

If he getting those two than he needs to go Trailerpark/Crossroads

If he had Old Gas and Zb1012 he would need to got Zb1011

[stone surge]

idk about scav extracts on customs, been a long ass time when i played scav there

[deft raptor]

just bought the game. here we go boys

[stone surge]

If you don't like customs for whatever reason and you feel like you have to play it as it's generally mentioned as a "beginner" map, they're imo wrong.

Interchange and Shoreline are way more beginner friendly and have easier to find extracts but that was my opinion when I started out.

Customs I just died 90% of the time, because it's just a meatgrinder.

[open basin]

imo you should learn customs early on because thats where most of the quests are

[stone surge]

people on the left are forced to go to the right and people on the right are forced to go to the left with very minimal options on how to do so

so people will almost always meet eachother halfway

[mortal hull]

how do i extract

[open basin]

yeah i think they should spread out the quest design

[mortal hull]

im there it says i found the extract point

[open basin]

you need to stand at the extraction point and wait

there should a be timer counting down if youre at the right spot

[stone surge]

@mortal hull are you at an extract you have available without ??????? in front of it

[mortal hull]

im at factory shacks standing in the shack

and it turned green

[stone surge]

Does it mention ???????'s

[mortal hull]

i wasnt standing in the right spot

[stone surge]

it should say you require something prob

[mortal hull]

i got it

!

[stone surge]

ah ok nice

[mortal hull]

my first extrract!

[stone surge]

ghz

[open basin]

niceu

i wish the raid stats would show your longest kill for the raid

[fickle kettle]

@mortal hull gz gz

[open basin]

man i fucking hate scavs

whats the point of having armor if these dbags are just gonna shoot at your arms and legs

wait is cms 32k roubles or 22k roubles

[fickle kettle]

32k now

[open basin]

So flea market prices arent too far off

i think ima get lvl 2 jaeger by getting eod instead

[stark coyote]

I'm 100% sure that eod doesn't give you lvl2 jaeger 🧐

[warm rover]

I think that the messenger in tarkov needs to be split between the traders and players

[open basin]

eod gives you .2 rep to all traders

[stark coyote]

Ahhh, i see what you mean now :p

[open basin]

i have .10 jaeger rep now so should i get ez jaeger lvl 3 with eod

[rich cloak]

Imagine doing Jaeger quests

@open basin it depends what cms you buy if you have EOD the 15 use cms is roughly the same price as the 5 use one but it's 3 by 1

[open basin]

the surv12 kit isnt worth it for me now

[rich cloak]

@mortal hull grats on your Frist extract!

[open basin]

i got an alpha

it wont fit

[rich cloak]

Yeah in that case it isn't

[open basin]

ima just wait for holiday sale and upgrade to eod

[rich cloak]

I bought eod and honestly it's worth it just because of the 15 use cms

I'm allways the one running point when playing with friends because I see myself as a pretty decent entry fragger

But on average I black about 5 parts per raid

And Holy moly why did Noone ever tell me about the svd?

This gun is low-key insane

[open basin]

i have 2 svds

[rich cloak]

Slap 7n1 in that bad boy and start dropping people like it's pistolwhip

[open basin]

im waiting a bit before using them

[rich cloak]

I have this horrible abomination of a scope on it which is a beta scope with a pk06 on top

[primal venture]

15 use cms?

what now

[rich cloak]

Looks disgusting but the svd is nasty in close fights

[open basin]

surv12 survival kit

[rich cloak]

@TheWombatQueen#1111 is called the survival kit

It is 3 by 1 slots tho

[primal venture]

eod does not have that

[rich cloak]

Nono

But you can put it in your gamma

[primal venture]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[rich cloak]

You can't fit it in your alpha

[open basin]

and you get ez jaeger lvl 3 with eod

[rich cloak]

What

No you don't

[open basin]

yeah you do

wtf

[rich cloak]

You still need to do quests

You get 0.2 rep

[open basin]

i've done 3 quests for jaeger

i got .1

[rich cloak]

So?

[open basin]

eod gives you .2 rep

ez lvl 3 jaeger

[rich cloak]

I think you are confusing the way rep works friend

[open basin]

compared to getting him to lvl 3 from being a standard player

no im not

[rich cloak]

!Wiki Jaeger

[broken quail]

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Jaeger

Escape from Tarkov Wiki

Jaeger

Kharitonov Ivan Egorovich, known by his alias "Jaeger", is a dealer in Escape from Tarkov.

[open basin]

you need .35 for lvl 3

[rich cloak]

Yeah

0.2 is not equal to 0.35 tho

[open basin]

...

with eod you just have to do the easier quests he gives to get .15

plus eod you get .35 ez

compared to standard players

so ez lvl 3 jaeger

[rich cloak]

Oh yeah definitely

I got confused with what you are trying to say then

My bad

My problem with leveling Jaeger is the money spent not the quests

And I haven't done the math on what to resell to him yet

Anyone have a clue what's the best return?

My problem with leveling Jaeger is the money spent not the quests

[lapis mauve]

he buys weapons for almost the same as mechanic, i sold guns i got from raids to him until he was max

[rich cloak]

Huh

I haven't ran any prices yet thanks for tee heads up

[open basin]

yeah he buys guns for only a couple of hundred roubles less

[lapis mauve]

could also buy m9's from peacekeeper (to level him) and sell to jaeger, idk how much you would lose doing that

[open basin]

buy cms and sell em on flea

[lapis mauve]

or that lol

[rich cloak]

For leveling peacekeeper I buy all his mp5ks

It's 5 per restock but it's the best return rate

At this point I only need more levels for crowns on all traders I think

Also who the fuck decided that clothing is that fucking expensive?

[open basin]

cuz we're in the apocolypse?

[rich cloak]

Bruh

So I can get a pair of pants for roughly 5 m4s?

I thought we are in Russia not in America

[blazing geode]

what does negative effects removal from the hideout actually do?

[open basin]

good question

no idea

i wanna know now too

[lapis mauve]

probably make things like broken arms go away faster

i think its mostly useless, i've never seen a benefit.

[open basin]

i hope they add daily/weekly quests in eft someday

[rich cloak]

Oh shit

I didn't turn off my generator yesterday

Bye bye fuel

[primal venture]

uh oh

[lapis mauve]

i haven't turned off my generator in weeks

[rich cloak]

@open basin I don't feel like daily/ weekly stuff doesn't really fit the gameplay loop as it currently is

[open basin]

because EFT is not free

[rich cloak]

[tribal cove]

A good ceap optic for adar? No zoom or very slight

[open basin]

da weaver

[fickle kettle]

you can try the x2

[primal venture]

weaver is good

[deft raptor]

damn this game is scary.

[dull cave]

damn is

@fickle kettle you must be new

[fickle kettle]

uhhh

no

i been playing for 2 wipe

[rich cloak]

@tribal cove "cheap" is relativ if you want a reddot try the cobra. If you want some zoom try the Monstrum

[fickle kettle]

this is the 3rd 1 lol

[rich cloak]

Oh boi here we go again

[warm rover]

i found an mpx and surv12 kit on that marked place in woods.. woo, didn't know it could spawn such things

[dull cave]

If you played before than you would know how rampant cheaters were lol

[open basin]

there's cheaters in every game

[primal venture]

well duh marked areas are good

[open basin]

especially in shooters

[dull cave]

mhm

[warm rover]

i suppose the marked places spawn literally anything right ?

[fickle kettle]

i dont see them much

[dull cave]

@warm rover not everything

but lotsa things

[fickle kettle]

or mostly because i call them "well played" anyway

[rich cloak]

@warm rover not everything but a lot of good shit

[dull cave]

@fickle kettle well before there was more often than not a cheater on labs

[rich cloak]

Virtex for that sweet sweet 400k slot value

[fickle kettle]

ah

[dull cave]

but now, cheaters are uncommon

[fickle kettle]

i rarely do lab

[rich cloak]

I don't do labs because it's just not worth it

[dull cave]

gotcha. They were way more prevalent than they are now on other maps too, but it wasn't as obvious

aye drago

its annoyin

[fickle kettle]

i mean lab is very hard map to think it cheat or not

[rich cloak]

I feel like labs is getting outclassed by reserve

[fickle kettle]

cause the map is small

[dull cave]

but anyway avi, most weird deaths could be attributed to luck, but the day after BE was implemented, those deaths basically disappeared

[open basin]

where da ledx at

[rich cloak]

Like I run labs with friends sometime but that's for entertainment

[fickle kettle]

anyway because i always died to EOD player

[dull cave]

it wasnt the obvious cheaters that were the problem, it was the ones that hid their cheats

[rich cloak]

@open basin?

[dull cave]

resort

labs

any med box

[rich cloak]

Oh yeah

Emercom

[dull cave]

^

[rich cloak]

That's where I would grind them if I would like mindlessly grinding one thing

[open basin]

i want medstation 3

[dull cave]

you can just buy one

[rich cloak]

Buy it then

[open basin]

f dat

[dull cave]

?

[open basin]

them shits are expensive

[fickle kettle]

lol

[dull cave]

farming ledx will take longer than just farming money?

[fickle kettle]

you should think about that again

[dull cave]

or just playing?

[rich cloak]

1. 3 mil afaik

[fickle kettle]

because alots of ppl buy them when they was 2.2m

[rich cloak]

Ye

[fickle kettle]

and i remember that ledx is 900k now ?

or more

[rich cloak]

Oh wow really?

900k would be really low

[fickle kettle]

last time i check is 900k

[dull cave]

iirc its sub 1kk

[rich cloak]

I need to check it later

1kk

[fickle kettle]

but yes if they dont intend to buy 1

[dull cave]

sorry daddy drago

[fickle kettle]

they could farm 1

[dull cave]

i switch between m and k notation often 😦

[rich cloak]

@dull cave im just memeing friend

[dull cave]

as am i

you cant hurt me ❤️

[open basin]

ay

[rich cloak]

You sure about that?

[dull cave]

yeos

[open basin]

that trade for beta looks

[dull cave]

yeah

[rich cloak]

What's the trade?

[dull cave]

whoever is in charge of coming up with trades at bsg

is genuinely smoothbrained

like quadrupled the price of the beta

when it was barely worth purchase in the first place

[rich cloak]

Yikes

[dull cave]

less

whats the total there?

im not ing rn

[rich cloak]

That's what? 3. 5mil?

[open basin]

im playing wow right now lmao

[fickle kettle]

mcb is 35k ish

[dull cave]

why do you put spaces after the decimal

[rich cloak]

Oh

[dull cave]

yeah the boards are irrelevant

but 1m ledx

[fickle kettle]

AESA is 350k

[dull cave]

ok nb

2.5m

still

[rich cloak]

@dull cave im on mobile it does that by default

[dull cave]

odd

nearly 5x as much as it used to be

[open basin]

also lvl 4 peacekeeper

[dull cave]

yeah

eppi is easier to get

[fickle kettle]

sit with gamma

[rich cloak]

I've almost level 4d everyone but Jaeger and ragman

[open basin]

make the beta easier to get 😡

[rich cloak]

Just buy EOD

[dull cave]

xd

[rich cloak]

[dull cave]

:peepohonk2:

the fuck is that

[rich cloak]

It's a nitro emote

[dull cave]

hm

weird

clown pepes are usually associated with racists

[open basin]

i feel like beta should as hard to get as stash size lvl 2

[rich cloak]

Are they?

[dull cave]

ye

clowns in general

[rich cloak]

Damn

[dull cave]

and pepe in general too

[rich cloak]

Sorry then

[dull cave]

no im not upset lmao

just odd that discord is okay with it

[rich cloak]

I knew about the pepe thing but honestly I'm 100 percent opposed to that

[dull cave]

seeing as they are all furries and weird ass sjw's

[open basin]

tbh i associate pepes with twitch more

[tribal cove]

I found an ACOG TA01NSN 4x32. Is it any good?

[dull cave]

lots of altright pockets use clowns and pepes as their meme of choice

[rich cloak]

@tribal cove sadly acogs are pretty bad

[dull cave]

take it into an offline raid if you want to see what its like @tribal cove

[rich cloak]

It makes me angry that pepe got declared as a hate symbol

Like what the fuck

[dull cave]

4chan

[rich cloak]

It's a Internet thing

[dull cave]

yeye

[tribal cove]

I did that and I dont find it confortable to use. I guess I'll sell it

[rich cloak]

And guess what the internet can be a harsh place with lots of cunts in it

[open basin]

ima take the pepe back from da racists

[rich cloak]

But like

How is this a hatesymbol

Sure there's iterations of pepe with bad stuff like nazi pepe or Isis pepe

[dull cave]

its not lol

its just used by a lot of altrights

like r/frenworld

r/clownworld

/pol/

[rich cloak]

Reddit REEEEE

[dull cave]

lol

[rich cloak]

@tribal cove yeah we are all hoping that the acogs get changed to a more adequate representation

[dull cave]

as well as the prism

the reticle is bonkers thick

[rich cloak]

I mean /pol/ has some top-tier shitposts not gonna lie

Yeah the prism reticle is stupid

[tribal cove]

Should I sell all the food I have. I never go with it in a raid

[dull cave]

irl its so much smaller

@tribal cove sure

unless you survive alot

food isnt a big isssue

[rich cloak]

@tribal cove I wouldn't but personal preference

[tribal cove]

Oke

[rich cloak]

@dull cave irl it depends how far you are "zoomed In" (I don't know the real terminology)

[dull cave]

im not really sure what you mean

eye relief?

[open basin]

the punisher questline doesnt seem too bad

[dull cave]

its really not

[fickle kettle]

it is for a guys who dont play shoreline

ever

[dull cave]

requesting second pass, over

[open basin]

beta should be from lvl 2 or 3 peacekeeper 😡

[dull cave]

not to mention sub 1m

[rich cloak]

@dull cave the reticle on the prism is on the first focal plane so depending on how much magnification you are on the reticle gets bigger

[dull cave]

first try it was too dumbed down

this time, my brains strugglin

[rich cloak]

Okay

So

[dull cave]

im talking a fixed mag prism

3x

[rich cloak]

Oh

[dull cave]

prism ing is fixed mag as well

[rich cloak]

Im talking the PA 1-6x prism scope

Ryan sent me a video about it and it's really interesting

[glacial jay]

whats a good 4 helmet?

[dull cave]

which the fuck is that

valday?

[rich cloak]

@glacial jay ulcan

@dull cave it's not the one we have Ingame

[glacial jay]

thanks

[dull cave]

@glacial jay invest in a more pingable name ploease

[lapis mauve]

zsh maybe, 40k if you do the quest

[glacial jay]

lol ik ik

[rich cloak]

Zsh has no headset tho

[dull cave]

ach

ach is dope

[lapis mauve]

well, only lvl 4 helmets that can have a headset have lvl 3 faceshield

so might as well go with lzsh and save some money

[open basin]

lmfao i love that you can buy an alpha from lvl 3 peacekeeper

[tribal cove]

Morphine is just a one use better painkiller?

[dull cave]

yup

its pretty bad

if you want something fast, use analgin painkillers

and vaseline, ibuprofen, goldenstar, or just a surgical kit in your container

[tribal cove]

Oke thx

[rich cloak]

Morphines only upside is the usetiem

[lapis mauve]

i use propital 😉

same use time as morphine but heals you too

[frosty crown]

shit i accidentally just turned in all my backpacls to ragman

trading in the pilgrim for the quest

[open basin]

rip

[frosty crown]

i had like 50 backpakcs stacked lol

f

[primal venture]

oh god

[open basin]

get a new sling bag now

[fickle kettle]

@frosty crown ik that feeling

i lost alots of them as well

and 7 m700 i think

[rich cloak]

Anyone have recommendations for good value containers?

My eod stash is filled to the brim

[lapis mauve]

stack icases

[pseudo mural]

how do I increase the range on my scope?

like, it's pretty much always zero'd to 50

[lapis mauve]

for me its page up/page down

[primal venture]

same

that's default

[pseudo mural]

Okay, and it's properly doped for everything, you just use kentucky windage right?

[rich cloak]

Kentucky windage?

Is that a gun owner joke I don't understand?

[pseudo mural]

ya, instead of increasing windage on nobs, you just adjust your aim left/right per mildot based on movement

[rich cloak]

Oh

[amber saffron]

Whats the best thing to do with dogtags? Should i sell them to Therapist or

[pseudo mural]

I just need to adjust distance, correct?

[rich cloak]

@pseudo mural yes

Good luck using mildots In Tarkov

[fickle kettle]

@amber saffron keep those from level 15+

[pseudo mural]

i've gotten a bunch of 100-200m shots with iron sights with the mosin, i finally found a sniper one so now I'm going to use a scope

[fickle kettle]

you can throw away those under level 15 or sell them to therapist

[rich cloak]

Calinyth you name confuses me greatly

[amber saffron]

Lol why

[rich cloak]

I don't know

[fickle kettle]

there is a few barter for dogtag level 15+

[amber saffron]

@fickle kettle I keep the ones above 15 and sell the ones under?

[pseudo mural]

there's a barter for level 1+ ones too

[fickle kettle]

and mostly because dogtag under level 5 is not worth too keep

[pseudo mural]

cant remember it

maybe meds?

[rich cloak]

My mind instantly went to caitlyn and after that I'm just confused

[amber saffron]

Lul

Can call me Cali

Here lemme make it easier

[pseudo mural]

but ya, mosin in factory is stupid good

[amber saffron]

Oof i cant change nicks

[rich cloak]

@pseudo mural if you shoot a target 300m out and you have your zero at 50 your bullet will hit roughly 1.6m lower than you aimed

[pseudo mural]

also for some reason players keep bringing an abundance of FNs

[open basin]

you can ask a mod to change it to ur ign i think

[amber saffron]

Ign is Calinyth anyway

[rich cloak]

With playermodels being roughly 1.75m you will hit their shins

[pseudo mural]

ya this is my ign as well 😛

[rich cloak]

So don't worry about exact ranging

Don't worry bout it Cali

@pseudo mural you don't like the five seven?

[pseudo mural]

no, I like em

I've just found 8 in the past 2 hours

[rich cloak]

Damn

[pseudo mural]

i've been killing a lot of people.

[rich cloak]

I usually bring one when I'm on a sniper

[steady pilot]

[rich cloak]

But other than that pistols are not good

Off topic I know

[fickle kettle]

killing ppl is not fun

bulli ppl is much more fun

[pseudo mural]

i think I tripled my PMC kill count in the past 3 hours

[rich cloak]

The fuck

How many did you have before that?

[steady pilot]

yes picking apart hatchlings like spiders is fun :]

[pseudo mural]

went from like 10 to like 30

[rich cloak]

Oh okay

[pseudo mural]

Not many

[rich cloak]

You are a newer player right?

[pseudo mural]

the game just kinda clicked 3 hours ago

[fickle kettle]

@steady pilot it camping or kill pscav with SKS is a crime ?

[pseudo mural]

i was on interchange surrounded by a trio and couldnt get away and only had an inf mosin, but i domed all 3

[rich cloak]

Nice

Yes

Because sks

Reeee

[pseudo mural]

then decided to try factory and meh, just...not hard

[steady pilot]

nothing about the game is hard

just knowledge is power

[pseudo mural]

ya
