[desert hull]

woods is the last map you'd pscav

[bold kernel]

xD

Unless you get a ridicoulus sniper?

Wouldn't it be somewhat good then.

[desert hull]

no

why would that make any difference

the map still has no loot

[bold kernel]

Oh i just thought about the ranges and shit

[desert hull]

you'd have to hunt players which may or may not be present

[bold kernel]

Yeah exactly

Have a lucky sniper on scav and sit somewhere like a puss puss and snipe those you manage to spot

[trail narwhal]

7.62x39. bp or ps

[bold kernel]

Bp

[trail narwhal]

What would be next best

[strange mural]

bp is best

ps is budget

[trail narwhal]

Ok

[desert hull]

its literally only those two rounds

that you use for 7.62x39

[strange mural]

yep

[desert hull]

BP is best, PS is second best

[strange mural]

kinda sad tbh

[desert hull]

I used HP when I was new in patch like... 0.8

[tribal cove]

Should I keep dis?

[desert hull]

use it or sell it

not a hard decision

also REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

screenshots

[tribal cove]

I am kinda scared to use it

[desert hull]

then sell it

easy decision

[tribal cove]

On flea?

Or traders

[desert hull]

fl

[small perch]

Goooood morning vietnan !!!!

how's everyone today 😄

[hallow pelican]

Cold

Very fucking cold

[small perch]

can relate to that ^^

[amber saffron]

you can't to quests as a scav right?

you need to play as a PMC

[bold kernel]

correct

[amber saffron]

aight thanks

[royal vale]

Holy shit, why scav boss so strong

[bold kernel]

which one are you talking about?

[royal vale]

On interchange

Killa I suppose

[desert hull]

because hes scav boss

not scav

@amber saffron you can do quests where you simply need to find a generic item

ie quests like the gas analyzer quests for therapist

but you cant do quests that require specific quest items like the pocket watch for prapor

or quests that require kills

[amber saffron]

I see

[desert hull]

anything like that

[amber saffron]

Understood. Thanks!

[bold kernel]

@royal vale a good tactic is to bait his shots, wait for him to reload and then... shoot his head. Need decent bullets though

[nocturne oxide]

Guys what’s the best cheap load out you run? I just want one to run a few raids on customs have around 300k

[desert hull]

same as always

buy a Vepr KM

powerful weapon and very cheap

[nocturne oxide]

Okok what else

[desert hull]

just whatever rig/backup you can afford

whatever armor

backpack*

[nocturne oxide]

Cool on customs I’ve just been going to the two story and three story yous recommend anywhere else

[desert hull]

for what

[nocturne oxide]

Just looting

[desert hull]

theres not much there for you unless you have a quest, are searching marked room, or fighting rashala

[strange mural]

generally
just look at wikis maps they have loot on them

[trail narwhal]

I need help deciding what type of case to get. Between small thicc thing. The one that holds keys. Or an items case of sorts

[strange mural]

shore and interchange are the least riskiest looting places

[nocturne oxide]

What would you’s recommend doing then for someone who just started yesterday

[desert hull]

@trail narwhal do you have a docs case

[trail narwhal]

Yes

[desert hull]

doing your tasks @nocturne oxide

[nocturne oxide]

Ah I wasn’t sure if they were worth it

[desert hull]

@trail narwhal I carry a dogs tag case as well

scav junkbox is essential

[trail narwhal]

That’s a good idea

I have one

Brb. In raid

[desert hull]

next probably meds case and ammo boxes

[strange mural]

ammo boxes priority one

and med box is nice too

for hoarding the good meds

[desert hull]

or hoarding your used painkillers

so you can make salewas

[strange mural]

i have like 3 1/10 golden balms

[desert hull]

collect them

then bring them all in raid

like 12

then when someone kills you

use your imagination to see their confusion

[trail narwhal]

Here is my luck.

[strange mural]

oh fuck yeah

ima just fill my backbag with them

[trail narwhal]

Lol

[desert hull]

just off a scav

ez

[strange mural]

too many pics reeee

also big fuel is gonna

[trail narwhal]

Trying to find one now.

[hallow pelican]

Thats when someone comes behind u and loots it

[hard skiff]

is there any way i can upgrade my alpha container?

[desert hull]

you can upgrade to a beta, epsilon, or kappa through the in game tasks

Beta barter is unlocked at peacekeeper level 4

[hard skiff]

could you explain how to do this please

arh ok i see

[desert hull]

epsilon is the reward for completing the punisher questline from prapor

kappa is from completing every task in the game

of those 3 you should try for epsilon

its the easiest of the 3 and about as good as the gamma

[long spear]

beta is the easiest of the 3 imo

[desert hull]

you cet epsilon way earlier than beta

and beta also costs like 3m now

at least 2m

[long spear]

i got beta way before epsilon

i just did the quests that were less annoying

[desert hull]

did you get it before they made it a barter?

because it costs 2m+ in items now

was 500k

[long spear]

i unlocked it, i didnt actually get it

[amber saffron]

Who do i sell my useless Ammo to for the best price?

[desert hull]

well bartering is part of acquiring it

mechanic @amber saffron

[amber saffron]

Thanks

[long spear]

yeah im aware that buying beta is part of getting it

it was 500k last i checked so

although 2 mil isnt a lot to me really

[desert hull]

way easier to acquire epsilon

and epsilon is free

[long spear]

i wouldnt say way easier

maybe a little easier depending

but if you are struggling to make money then yeah go for epsilon for sure

[desert hull]

telling you, go for epsilon either way

better case and I'm still gonna keep saying its easier to get

[trail narwhal]

Got in a fight with the wrong scavs. Lol

[long spear]

considering its a better case and not much harder to get imo, id recommend epsilon yes

[trail narwhal]

Just spent two hours cleaning up my stash. Building my 104. Then I go into game. Only to be timed out. Lol reconnecting now. Gotta love it

[strange mural]

tarkov

[zealous forge]

When does the Christmas gift drop?

[thick mist]

Probably around Christmas

[hallow pelican]

Should come at the 28th like last year

[amber saffron]

Finally finished Debut

Never going to Customs again. I hate that map

[thick mist]

Yeeeep. Unfortunately you'll need to. A lot. :)

[amber saffron]

Rip

[hallow pelican]

Customs is a good map

[thick mist]

Fake news

[broken briar]

just found a level 35 hatchet running lmao

[knotty badge]

Tarkov wishing me merry christmas- At the beginning of video u can see me acquiring 2 adars and backpack full of loot and when i extract i get nothing , My mouse movement is genuine reaction :D https://vimeo.com/user106555017/review/380504909/bcfa978be5

[long spear]

@knotty badge that has happened to me, it showed up about 5-10 min later

[knotty badge]

Where did it show up ?

[long spear]

on my character

[knotty badge]

But i was on scav raid

it wont be showing up

[long spear]

yeah probably not

[thick mist]

When that happens you shouldn't exit the scav menu

[long spear]

maybe try waiting a while on scav loot screen if it happens again, ive had 800 raids and that only happened to me once on my pmc

[thick mist]

Just hit next/back repeatedly

It should show up

[long spear]

its a rare bug i believe

[thick mist]

Yeah

[royal vale]

should i trade tetris for bitcoin?

[thick mist]

Generally just better to sell Tetriz on flea

They're usually more than bitcoins

Only like 1-2k but eh

[royal vale]

selling to therapist seems better

[thick mist]

How much does she give?

If you need money to level her then for sure yeah

[bold kernel]

if I shoot a raider as a scav, do I aggro other scavs?

[royal vale]

112500 same as on flea but there's commission on flea

[thick mist]

Yeah sell to her then

Also @bold kernel a raider on Reserve? Pretty sure scavs still aggro

Didn't know raiders don't aggro player scavs tbh

[bold kernel]

eesh, got killed twice by raiders. always held my fire as a scav but they always shoot eventually

guess i'll have to kill em next time and take my chances with the other scavs

[west arch]

Hey guys, is there any good (and as cheap as possible) weapon presets for beginners ?
The amount of available mods is kind of too much for a level 10 like me right now...

[thick mist]

Vepr KM, AK-100 handguard, TT01 rearsight adapter

[rocky ocean]

im lvl 7 and really satisfied with a mosin sniper + mount + scope

[thick mist]

Best budget build in the game

[west arch]

@thick mist does the name of the weapon change after modding it to represent what kind of mods are attached on it? or can 2 "Vepr KM" have different mods with different stats?

[thick mist]

Wat

A Vepr KM is a Vepr KM

Adding mods doesn't change what weapon it is :p

[west arch]

oh okay!

[nocturne oxide]

Anyone play?

Wanna

[thick mist]

If you create your own presets then I think that specific mod setup will cause the weapon to have a custom name, but I haven't used them before to know for sure

[west arch]

Thanks for the info!

[rocky ocean]

what do i do with sugar? why is it so expensive in the flea market? o.O

i saw that it is possible to craft some stuff but outside that any use for it?

[thick mist]

Nope

I'd just sell it

[rocky ocean]

but than why is it so expensive? o.O

i found it often in raids

so it doesnt look like being rare or any use

[thick mist]

Because the item it's used for to craft is expensive

[rocky ocean]

ahh ok thanks!

[thick mist]

It requires the booze generator though which is an endgame hideout station

[amber saffron]

What extraction point is always active on Interchange?

[thick mist]

Uhh

None I don't think

It always alternates between Emercom/Railway

[amber saffron]

Ah, i see

[thick mist]

And then Factory is one person only I believe

[amber saffron]

But its definitely either of those right?

[thick mist]

Yep

For PMC at least

[amber saffron]

Gotcha

Thanks

[thick mist]

Scavs always have access to both

[amber saffron]

I see

Is there a way by modding to make the ADAR full auto?

[bold kernel]

No

[idle bluff]

Replace it with an M4.

[bold kernel]

If you want full auto you have to get the m4 or the 416

[amber saffron]

I see

[thick mist]

If you have a modded ADAR

You can just slap in an M4 receiver

[idle bluff]

^

[amber saffron]

Oh and that would do it?

[idle bluff]

At that point it’s better to just go proper M4 though.

[thick mist]

Yep, no need but buy another whole M4

[amber saffron]

Thats nice. What receiver would you recommend?

[bold kernel]

There’s only one

[idle bluff]

I mean.

There’s also the Vltor upper

[amber saffron]

Ah i see

Thank you

[bold kernel]

I guess we should specify that we mean swap the lower

The lower = the gun

[idle bluff]

There you go.

[nocturne oxide]

Guys I’m really struggling with PvP combat what can I do to get better?

[thick mist]

Greatly depends on the map, but general rule of thumb is that it's usually better to play defensively rather than offensively. Much easier to defend positions than to push them.

[long spear]

make sure you are using good ammo

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Ballistics

[thick mist]

Always be on the lookout and scan your surroundings every so often. Some people tend to tunnel vision a lot and leave their back/sides completely open.

[idle bluff]

Sound is greatly important whilst in combat.

[hard skiff]

im struggling understanding the ammo sytem atm, its hard to understand how to build weapons from scratch

[short anvil]

@nocturne oxide slow down, play slow. listen and watch areas before entering. My K/d is much higher after throwing everything I know about fps out the window and really drew out the raid timers

[long spear]

building weapons is seperate from ammo

[bold kernel]

anyone got some good cost effective helmet recommendations?

[long spear]

just look at the ammo chart

[thick mist]

Penis hat is the best budget helmet

[long spear]

each gun uses a different caliber bullet, look at the bullets within each caliber, a lot of players will have at least armor class 4 armor by now so use that as reference

[celest sundial]

need some tips

[bold kernel]

But I've got enough money to move on from the penis hat, just not sure which one to go for next

[idle bluff]

Pistol rounds have very limited armor penetration, but good raw damage.

Ngl @bold kernel

I don’t use helmets

But

[celest sundial]

im out doing pistol runs for meds

[idle bluff]

A decent choice is the 6B47 or LzSh

[long spear]

if you are running an expensive loadout, i like to use face shield to protect from scav randomly one shotting me

[celest sundial]

but as soon as i put on some gear i got in the previous raid im one shotted by a scav

[long spear]

otherwise i might not even use a helmet

[hard skiff]

how do you get the better ammo though? i look for some and i only have basic ammo none of this amazing stuff

[idle bluff]

I just use the Panama except in rare occasions

[bold kernel]

Cool, thank you!

[idle bluff]

Level up your traders

[celest sundial]

im moving just as slow and cautiously as before

[idle bluff]

They can also be found in raid

[thick mist]

@hard skiff use the flea market

[long spear]

@hard skiff once you hit level 5, you can buy just about any item on flea market, also level up your traders

[short anvil]

@hard skiff level 5 you get the flea market

[idle bluff]

Collect anything that says “BP, BT, BS”

[long spear]

traders will be a bit cheaper than flea market generally speaking

[thick mist]

That's where 90% of people get their ammo

[hard skiff]

fair enough, i have read on redit and other forums the flea market is botted to high hell

you guys know what this means?

[idle bluff]

Mmmm

Basically

[hard skiff]

i kindda undersand it

[idle bluff]

Certain items that are worth a good amount of money are almost instantly purchased by bots and sold for higher amounts.

[hard skiff]

was the reason why diablo 3 auction house got shut down. hope it dont happen here

[idle bluff]

It’s possible to beat the bots.

In the sense that it’s a small, but non-zero chance.

BSG is working to combat them.

[hard skiff]

i sold some bits last night and litrally as soon as it went live it was bought

[trail narwhal]

Had one of my best runs just now.

[thick mist]

Generally you can only beat bots if there's multiple of an item being sold at once

Seems to take them an extra millisecond longer

[hard skiff]

blizzard just got rid of it in the end

hate people who exploit -.-"

[thick mist]

Nah it definitely won't happen here

[celest sundial]

feels bad man, this is the BS im talking about

hit 24 rounds on a single target, NOT killing him

he turns and 2 shots me

[strange mural]

getting rid of the flea would be a mistake

[thick mist]

What ammo were you using?

[strange mural]

this isnt as messed up as diablos anyway

[celest sundial]

standard 9x19mm

[strange mural]

no wonder

[thick mist]

Lmao

There's your problem

[strange mural]

9mm doesnt penetrate

literally any armor

[thick mist]

Also what would you consider "standard"?

[celest sundial]

from the trader

PZO

[thick mist]

I'm gonna assume PSO gzh

[celest sundial]

yup

[thick mist]

Which is absolute garbage against armor

[celest sundial]

............ i cant stand this shit

still dealt 450 damage to the scav after his armor

[thick mist]

No offense but that's not the game being bullshit, that's just a poor decision on your part

[celest sundial]

so whats up with that?

[thick mist]

Did you shoot at more than one person?

[celest sundial]

nope

1 scav almost point blank range

how else to you hit 24 rounds on full auto :p

[bold kernel]

uh

aim for the head

aim for places with no armor

[celest sundial]

i was

[bold kernel]

or get better bullets

[celest sundial]

legs arms and then face

[bold kernel]

doubt

i have no issues 1 shotting scavs

with the shittiest ammo

[celest sundial]

never said i hit the face

just that i shot for it

[bold kernel]

you hit the armor

[celest sundial]

yea no shit

[thick mist]

I'm assuming you shot him in the arms/chest a lot

[bold kernel]

then get better bullets

[celest sundial]

I see that now

[near badge]

This games learning curve is like trying to climb mount Everest by yourself with no arms legs or fucking any moving body parts. I love and hate it all at once

[bold kernel]

@celest sundial remember this

guns are just a basis for the ammo

the ammo is your weapon

your gun is just a device to shoot it

[celest sundial]

@near badge lol yesterday i had litterally nothing and i was forced to do scav runs over and over

now ive got about 1 mil and questing

[thick mist]

@celest sundial what level are your traders?

Oh nice dude

[near badge]

I can't even make it to extract half the time

[thick mist]

I'm pretty sure you could upgrade to PST gzh from traders

Or if you really want to get somewhat serious about using 9mm you could buy AP 6.3

[near badge]

And by scav run. You still have to be online don't you?

[thick mist]

But it's a tad pricey

Yep, scav runs are online

[celest sundial]

all traders are still level 1

I just started playing tuesday

[bold kernel]

@near badge scav runs can't be offline because the literal point of a scav run is to join midgame

[near badge]

How do you do that?

[bold kernel]

you play as a scav

[celest sundial]

select scav instead of pmc on the raid screen

on the left

[near badge]

Ohhh ofc

[thick mist]

Pretty sure uhhhh.... Mechanic? Sells Pst Gzh

At level 1

MUCH better than PSO Gzh

[celest sundial]

sounds good ill give it a try and i get some weapons

[thick mist]

https://i.redd.it/wwkqv16irow31.png

[celest sundial]

i refuse to buy weapons and armor

ill get it all off bodies

[thick mist]

Highly recommend you bookmark this image and reference it often

Very useful when learning what ammo is good or not

[near badge]

Fml

Headshot by a scav 2 seconds in...

[thick mist]

I still use a similar chart because I forget the difference between all the 5.45 ammo lmao

rip

[bold kernel]

@celest sundial i think that's your issue

lol

[near badge]

Literally I do wish the learning curve was a little less steap

[royal vale]

is there any bigger backpacks than attack 2?

[celest sundial]

ammo?

[bold kernel]

@near badge it was a playerscav

UNLESS you attacked an ai scav/playerscav first

[celest sundial]

@thick mist thank you for the info! ill give it a try

[bold kernel]

because then you're marked and cursed

by every scav in the proximity

[near badge]

Nah I was a pmc

[bold kernel]

ok lol

wear armor

[thick mist]

@royal vale Blackjack is biggest

[near badge]

Fuck all armour. I'm only a few days in

[thick mist]

Nah, buy PACA and penis hat at least

[bold kernel]

@near badge great recipe

[thick mist]

Will stop you from getting one-shot by scavs most of the time

[bold kernel]

for loss

[near badge]

But then when I did tho

[bold kernel]

literally wearing ANYTHING

gives you way higher odds of survival

anything that has armor properties of course

[near badge]

Mmmm

I don't think there should be a cool down on scav use. I mean if you die as scav you loose everything you've earned. So why make a follow as well

Colldown*

[thick mist]

I have mixed feelings about it, but I think it's mostly because then there would be people that play ONLY scav so they'd never have to risk losing anything

[fathom narwhal]

That's why, there is no risk playing scav

It was lower previously

Like 10 mins I think

[thick mist]

There are upgrades in the hideout that let you decrease the timer by 35%

[near badge]

Yeah not loseing anything would be great but then what's the point anything you being if your never gonna use bc you only play scav

Anything you gain

[thick mist]

I did the same thing I assume you're doing when I first started playing

Do scav run, wait for timer, scav again. Rinse and repeat.

[fathom narwhal]

I still do that

Lul

[bold kernel]

@near badge uhh

if there weren't any cooldown

people could just enter as scav

go straight to exfil

extract with scav items

sell

repeat

[twilit patio]

Low level players should have lower scav timers, its so hard for us new players

[bold kernel]

and the point

of playing scav

is to have loot for pmc

when you're piss poor

[thick mist]

That can honestly be a good way to build up a decent money pool though, OG. However, it's not good for building your confidence on your PMC character. I'd recommend doing some scav runs and selling all the guns, and then buying a certain gun that you like so you can go out on PMC runs and consistently use it and get decent with it.

[strange mural]

i mean yeah they talked about changing it so that when you are low level youd only have the worse scavs but on a super low cd

while you could upgrade it to get better scavs

with longer cd

[twilit patio]

thats not a bad idea

[thick mist]

Shotgun only scavs heh

That'd be so bad

[twilit patio]

just as long new players get low cd timers

[thick mist]

Honestly I'd highly recommend doing at least pistol runs on your PMC while your scav is on cooldown. Focus on being sneaky and hidden. Learn where AI scavs spawn and patrol and figure out how their AI works.

[gray mountain]

Why someone would go into interchange with this weapon and lvl 3 armor is beyond me

Literally oneshot him

[near badge]

I think scav timer should be based on lvl if your lvl 1 the a 1 min timer if your lvl 30 then a 30 min timer... hahaha I'll probably disagree with that statement one day

[thick mist]

@gray mountain people are dumb

Also maybe just having fun

[gray mountain]

the recoil is so good on it, tried it out on the range

[thick mist]

Ran into some guy on Woods with no armor on but 350k worth of weapons on him

[idle bluff]

I mean.

[gray mountain]

lol

[bold kernel]

hmm

what weapon should i try to master

[idle bluff]

I bring out good guns but rarely go above class 3.

[bold kernel]

i was thinking about a hunter

[gray mountain]

really?

[thick mist]

Also yeah tbh better armor is only useful to an extent

[bold kernel]

/some higher tier ak 5cal

[thick mist]

Only really worth upgrading straight to class 5/6

[idle bluff]

My play style focuses on killing players before they can see me or flanking around during combat, not being in a head on fight.

[thick mist]

Since generally if they're getting through your class 3, they're getting through your class 4

[idle bluff]

The first tier of armor should be not getting shot

[thick mist]

Also yeah that ^^^

[gray mountain]

Im thinking the opposite Nazwa

[idle bluff]

That’s my personal opinion.

[thick mist]

Agree 100%

[gray mountain]

If they get through your rank 4 then they are most likely get through 5&6

[thick mist]

Also higher tier armor generally has higher movement/ergo penalties which is not good for a lot of playstyles

[gray mountain]

Rank 4 however is the breakpoint

[thick mist]

Also nah rank 5 and 6 is where a lot of bullets start to drop off

[gray mountain]

Yeah but most bullet calibers go from penetrating class 3 maybe 4 and then immediately to penning 5 almost guaranteed 6

[thick mist]

I mean, if you're using the best ammo then yeah

[gray mountain]

and 3 gets fucked by everything mediocre

class 4 is in the inbetween

[thick mist]

Well yeah class 3 and 4 are mostly just meant for scavs and players using cruddy ammo or 9mm

God I love when people shoot at me with 9mm

[gray mountain]

yeah and then I get shot by a stray bullet to the jaw

and I die anyways 🙂

[thick mist]

Face shield op

Yeah face shots always suck

[gray mountain]

yeah

[thick mist]

But you can face shot them back 😀

[gray mountain]

But I cba running face shields

[thick mist]

That's what makes it fun

[gray mountain]

most helmets that have them cant run headsets

except like the fast mt

[thick mist]

Yeah it gets super pricey if you want headset+faceshield

[gray mountain]

ye

[thick mist]

I just run pp hat with Gssh

Does extremely well for me

[gray mountain]

I run the MICH 2002/2001 and then headsets

[thick mist]

Woah big man over here

[strange mural]

IF YOU WANT TO RUN HEADSET

YOULL HAVE TO USE BAD TIER HELMET

[thick mist]

Banned for caps

[strange mural]

basically

[gray mountain]

I dont want some stray PS 7.62 to oneshot me

[strange mural]

mich's are big brain.

[thick mist]

Ya I only wear it for scavs

And my head gets cold :(

[strange mural]

tbh nowadays

[thick mist]

Don't want my chrome dome to give away my position

[strange mural]

i just wear cowboy hats

[gray mountain]

lol

[thick mist]

[zealous forge]

ULACH or Soviet Bucket are pretty alright

[gray mountain]

Lvling to rank 3 strength is gonna take me years

[thick mist]

Yeah it's such bs

[gray mountain]

I rarely have that much stuff on me as a PMC

[thick mist]

Extremely expensive no matter which way you do it

[alpine stump]

Hi everyone! I am new here could someone guide me through my first steps in the game/raids? I watch a couples of streams on twitch before buying it, but it is lot more different playing than watching haha

[gray mountain]

and I dont have any bigger container for tank battery

[thick mist]

Hey @alpine stump! You should read #521628660298678283 and #news-setup to gain full access to this Discord. At the end, make sure to click the ✅ !

[alpine stump]

Ok thanks

[thick mist]

Once you get the PMC role (what the ✅ is for), you should gain access to the #pvp-lfg channel which is where you can find people to play with

If you really want someone to hold your hand though, you can always request a Sherpa to guide you

It may take a while though

Just type "!sherpa" in this channel if you want more info

[bold kernel]

Hi! Lvl 6 Beginner looking for someone to Duo with (EU-Server)

[gray mountain]

Use #pvp-lfg

[acoustic depot]

Is crafting stuff in the hideout to sell worth it?

[gray mountain]

If you have any questions tho you can ask them here

[thick mist]

Greatly depends on the item, but sometimes it is

Mag cases are what I usually craft

[gray mountain]

Sometimes @acoustic depot But the economy has mostly balanced out by now

[acoustic depot]

Hmm

[near badge]

How do I rotate an item in my inventory?

[gray mountain]

R

[thick mist]

R

[near badge]

Ty

[acoustic depot]

Thinking of buying flat screwdrivers to open up dvd drives

[thick mist]

Yeah it's kinda bullshit

[acoustic depot]

for circuits to sell or keep

[thick mist]

Screwdrivers and stuff like that shouldn't be consumed during crafting

[acoustic depot]

yeah

But i take it as the cost of doing business and stuff

[gray mountain]

Paracords go for 190k now what the fuck

[acoustic depot]

I have the hideout powered anyway to craft Salewas

[gray mountain]

Last time I sold mine it was at 120k

[alpine stump]

Thanks Nazwa

[thick mist]

No problem dude

@acoustic depot do you have level 2 lavatory yet?

[acoustic depot]

No

[thick mist]

Ah okay

[acoustic depot]

Don't even have a water collector

[thick mist]

Also are you using the blue fuel cans? Expeditionary or w/e

Oh rip

[acoustic depot]

Blue

Yeah I need to hit up Oli or smth

[vivid vigil]

can someone help me do mechanic farming 1 task

[thick mist]

Okay yeah those are the best to use

And keep them after you use them up

[acoustic depot]

really

[thick mist]

You need two of them to craft a magazine case in level 2 lavatory

[acoustic depot]

Ooh

nice

will keep in mind, cheers

where do you find wd40 and packs of screws, my stash is suffering

[thick mist]

Oli is life

You could also just buy from flea if you want

[gray mountain]

OLI is nice to hit with scavs

[acoustic depot]

ehhhh

that'd make me even more broken than I already am

Oli good

[slim shale]

it says superwater will level metabolism, intellect, memory and 12 other things by 1 for 600 seconds, is that 0.1 per second on the level increasing your stats by 60 in 10 minutes if you survive for the full duration?

and is it implemented (working) as of now?

[gray mountain]

Can you link send a screenshot of it?

Because usually the first number means Delay (how long it takes for the effect to start) and the second number means Duration (how long the effect lasts) and the 3rd is by how much

[gray mountain]

It increases it by 1 for 600 seconds

and after the 600 seconds it goes back down

[slim shale]

there we go, now that makes sense

thanks a lot

[gray mountain]

👍

[acoustic depot]

CAR med

[gray mountain]

You should see a list of compatible mods in this wiki page

[long spear]

@acoustic depot this is a good site but idk how often its updated https://www.eftdb.one/weaponmodding/220001/AK-74N/

[acoustic depot]

ooh thanks

[strange mural]

not updated

btw

last i checked

[acoustic depot]

good place to start tho

[gray mountain]

also car meds are used up all the time

so just keep them for now

[strange mural]

best place to do modding is the ingame preset editting.

[gray mountain]

unless you have salewas growing on trees

[acoustic depot]

well i'm making some

but no they're not growing on trees

i think I was just panicking

[gray mountain]

The ingame one is a bit bugged tho

sometimes it shows some mods that dont work

[strange mural]

hasnt ever done for me

[gray mountain]

Well me and Delta had this discussion when I was new, sent I pic of the preset thing showing I could attach a certain stock on my vepr km

and then he said that it shouldnt be possible

and sure enough when I bought the parts it didnt work

[strange mural]

[stone surge]

Maybe you could be specific about the mods, maybe there's a reason for it

I've modded vepr km quite a lot and never had this issue but idk could be a bug

[gray mountain]

I really dont remember

but it could very possibly be that specific stock

give me a sec, might be able to find it

I think its this picture

According to the preset, I can attach the CAA AKTS stock directly onto the weapon

but I have to use a connector inbetween first

[acoustic depot]

weapon modding site isn't helping btw

[gray mountain]

Supposed to have to use the ME4 thing inbetween the weapon and the CAA AKTS

[acoustic depot]

it says i can put the 406mm barrel on the receiver with the KAC on

which is untrue

guess I have to buy one and try it

🤷‍♂️

[gray mountain]

Looking at it now tho, going to linked search for an vepr km and the CAA AKTS is there

so idk

[acoustic depot]

oh yeah

i calculated the screwdriver/dvd thing

[gray mountain]

Did you check the wiki page I sent? Ter

[bold kernel]

speaking of this

[acoustic depot]

tried it, didn't find anything on barrels

[bold kernel]

what is the point of all those bonuses

if you're just gonna lose them

in 10 mins

[gray mountain]

in raid use

[acoustic depot]

temporary buffs?

[bold kernel]

yeah

1% buff?

maybe 2%

[gray mountain]

I mean no one is gonna use that in raid most likely

Thats why people use adrenalin, propital and morphine

[weary badge]

Hi guys, I'm really new to this game and so far i only play the customs map. I've been dying quite some times because I ran out of energy or water. Where can I find both food and water on the customs map?

[bold kernel]

@weary badge just buy it

[acoustic depot]

I think it's better to bring some into the raid

[gray mountain]

Mostly in dorms or in busses imo

[bold kernel]

from therapist if you don't have flea yet

[gray mountain]

Some duffle bags

[acoustic depot]

it's not expensive to buy, but if you're looking to feed or hydrate a scav then yeah, bus stop duffle

[weary badge]

Allright got it

[acoustic depot]

don't take my word for it, I'm a fellow scrub

[weary badge]

And suppose I want to get it during the raid from busses and such

Are those water bottles or food packages laying around by themselves?

Or in boxes

Which I have to loot

[lapis mauve]

scav pockets/backpacks have food too

[gray mountain]

just laying around usually

[weary badge]

Ok clear!

[thick mist]

Huh

@gray mountain you can definitely use that stock

100%

You must have had some other stock attachment on when you tried it

[gray mountain]

Yeah I checked it now

[acoustic depot]

btw weird question, but addressing a market imbalance in this discord isn't really gonna affect the market right?

[gray mountain]

Im pretty sure I checked it then, because me and delta trying to figure it out and came to the conclusion that it just was a bug

[acoustic depot]

oh god

never mod guns when you're tired

[mighty jasper]

Do you have to install an overlay to get a crosshair?

[acoustic depot]

what in the fuck have i done and ||is it good||

[stone surge]

@mighty jasper ?

[acoustic depot]

i think no crosshair is part of EFT's design

[stone surge]

@acoustic depot No it's not good tbh

[acoustic depot]

I thought so

[stone surge]

you have to look at stats not how the gun looks

if you want a 'good' gun

[lapis mauve]

you can put a dot on your screen (which isn't that useful because bullets go where the barrel is pointing not the center of your screen) or get a laser on your gun

[stone surge]

generally recoil below 50 or 40 is preferred for a laser meta gun (which is m4 essentially)

[acoustic depot]

yeah, I was just looking at all the cool stats for the stock and everything

[stone surge]

above ~70-80 recoil which your m4 is

then it's essentially just an AR with high recoil and high cost compared to alternatives (like AK's and such)

[lapis mauve]

he is using an adar, so no auto at least

[stone surge]

True

also scope is preference, but imo that scope is pretty bad as it reduces your vision by quite a lot

compared to PK-06, Pilad or so

[acoustic depot]

i like it but i haven't tried other scopes

[rocky ocean]

Can it get worse than a usp-1 sight?

[stone surge]

usp-1 well

[bold kernel]

Whats the value of an GASAN

[lapis mauve]

i like prism, 2.5 zoom is nice at times

[stone surge]

that one is tough to beatr

[rocky ocean]

Im using a usp-1 sight on a hunter :x

[lapis mauve]

monstrum is better though imo

[acoustic depot]

i fully regret this adar modding job and at the same time it was fun

[rocky ocean]

But i killed 7 scavs on woods today for the mission

With 3 pscavs

Mostly headshots

[lapis mauve]

gas analyzer is like 15-19k now

[rocky ocean]

So im actually suprised 🤔

[stone surge]

I almost exclusively run HAMR as variable scope, because it's the only one that doesn't have the unbearable sensitivity difference.

[bold kernel]

DAM

dam*

What about the Gauge? Im mid raid just need to know the prices really XD

[long spear]

gauge is around 80k now

[stone surge]

gauge used to be 500k

[lapis mauve]

like 90k to therapist

[stone surge]

about 2 weeks ago

[bold kernel]

Dam so i just made 160k since i found that ophto thingy

[stone surge]

crashed a lot

yea you can just sell those to therapist

[bold kernel]

dam, but how much was the morphine worth again? i got like 3 of them rn lol

[lapis mauve]

oh, its 70k now. maybe i was thinking of something else

[stone surge]

~15k ish

[bold kernel]

Thats decent but not the best

[stone surge]

as do all pens

it's actually pretty good

especially in labs most ppl horde them

because it's 15-20k per 1 slot

for easy sell to therapist

[lapis mauve]

rip the days of gamma med case on labs

[royal vale]

how much trooper armour cost

[lapis mauve]

70k?

[royal vale]

thanks

[acoustic depot]

hamr looks really nice

but also

[bold kernel]

I rarely find this PSU thing, how much is that worth??

[acoustic depot]

im broke

[lapis mauve]

70-90 maybe

for trooper armor

[bold kernel]

😐 And im out of space too, lol

Ah. But for the Power supply?

[lapis mauve]

psu is 35-40k

[bold kernel]

dam. :/ i have so much lol

[acoustic depot]

should I sell off the stock adar parts i replaced while experimenting

[lapis mauve]

if you live and sell stuff buy a bigger backpack next time lol

[gray mountain]

@mighty jasper there is no built in crosshair except from sights and opticals

[lapis mauve]

i do that in resort, start with scav backpack, then upgrade every time i live

[thick mist]

Crosshair tf

Yikes

[lapis mauve]

good way to miss a lot of shots

[gray mountain]

Why is the Gzhel-K armor worth so much?

[lapis mauve]

all armor has been going up in price

[gray mountain]

ceramic class 4 doesnt feel like it should be worth 110k

ye maybe

[thick mist]

It has good mobility and it's also required for a quest

[gray mountain]

oh

maybe I should have kept it then

[lapis mauve]

quest part is probably the main reason

[bold kernel]

Where does that "Rare Item" Spawn on Dorm 216 on Shoreline?

[lapis mauve]

ledx maybe

1.1 mil

[bold kernel]

Wait on room 216?

[gray mountain]

No clue Peace

[lapis mauve]

idk, some resort rooms can have ledx

might be something else though

[bold kernel]

Ik on room 226 there is up to 2 ledx spawn

Pretty op

Got it once with my bud, we just shared it

[lapis mauve]

resort has a million hatchlings and pistolings

[faint violet]

2 less

Ledx*

[lapis mauve]

but pistolings with 5-7 are kinda deadly

[faint violet]

That’s like 15 m995 holy shit

[stone surge]

@lapis mauve Im not even that against hatchlinging but resort / shoreline as map

[faint violet]

I need some of that

[stone surge]

is just gutted due to hatchlings

[bold kernel]

RC..

[stone surge]

just pisses me off honestly as they give bad experiences

[amber saffron]

How do you unlock the work bench?

[faint violet]

Craft it

[lapis mauve]

yeah, you get there 5-10 min after match start and all doors are open already . . .

[bold kernel]

@lapis mauve What do you mean? https://gyazo.com/45278aabb5f0c338095d3d47db331cb3

😐

[stone surge]

yea and half the map is empty

because the only ones are you with ur friend and 1-2 other geared players

and sometimes up to 8 hatchlings

fuck that

[bold kernel]

I met my first hatchling here literally 5 minutes ago.

He was so cute.

[faint violet]

He died immediately

[bold kernel]

So i let him go, but i heard an ak spray right after

[stone surge]

They dont even bring backpacks

[bold kernel]

Yeah exactly Sack

[stone surge]

and the worst is that they're mostly

lvl 40

[lapis mauve]

yep

[acoustic depot]

huh

[royal vale]

holy fuck what a raid, 80 hp with bloodloss blob:https://imgur.com/3d4461f7-5a34-4c54-8364-a417ca9efbc0

[bold kernel]

Yeah i found his body, didnt take the tag. LVL 51

@royal vale Beat this

[royal vale]

holy fuck

[acoustic depot]

yo this man dead

[bold kernel]

Nope xD

I had Salewa

[stark coyote]

I will.... With my crowbar xD

[bold kernel]

saved my ass

[faint violet]

Beat everything black except the head

[stone surge]

@bold kernel i can beat that sec

[faint violet]

Dumbass

[bold kernel]

Oh god Veyx no no no no no

VEX DONT YOU DO IT

[acoustic depot]

i spent my first 4 levels with PMs only

I cannot fathom how the fuck people can bear hatchling runs

anyways

[lapis mauve]

ikr, at least with a pistol you can kill things

[bold kernel]

A streamer gifted me this 😄 He is hella cool, go follow him DocDominus

[lapis mauve]

5-7 (if you can afford it) kills lvl 4 armor easy

[stone surge]

@bold kernel https://i.imgur.com/0a1CSMs.png

[bold kernel]

Im scared

Jesus christ

VeyX when someone raises their voice at me. THATS ME

[acoustic depot]

yeah with a pistol i can kill a scav and take his stuff

[stone surge]

^^

[lapis mauve]

pm+mags+ammo=10k

[faint violet]

Or

Vepr km

[stone surge]

those white beards + christmass hat are pretty fun that they added that

[faint violet]

With 2 mags=19-20k

[stone surge]

i see squads rolling with those quite a lot

Lol

[faint violet]

more effective

[bold kernel]

soooooooo

i'm looking for a gun to master

any propositions?

[lapis mauve]

shotguns are easy to master because of buckshot

[stone surge]

Depends, do you want a good gun budget gun?

cheesy gun, CQB, Long range

[bold kernel]

yes

[lapis mauve]

each hit counts

[bold kernel]

something full auto

was thinking of an ak

[misty flower]

So, each of these mags work the same guns, what parameters should I use to chose which to keep or which to use? If that makes sense...

[bold kernel]

preferably 5cal

[stone surge]

probably start with AK-74M or AK-74N then

[remote loom]

Hey guys

[bold kernel]

@misty flower right click inspect

[royal vale]

what's point mastering gun

[lapis mauve]

fancy reload

[bold kernel]

@stone surge which one is better though

[stone surge]

you can mod those up to having almost no recoil for very low cost

[bold kernel]

stats wise/modding wise

[lapis mauve]

and reload while aiming

[bold kernel]

mkay

[stone surge]

AK-74M slightly higher recoil but better accuracy

[bold kernel]

@royal vale @stone surge no i meant literally mastering the gun

like

learning how to use it

[stone surge]

AK-74N lower recoil, slightly less accuracy

[lapis mauve]

oh

[bold kernel]

i wanna get good with a weapon

[faint violet]

Hmm makes sense

[bold kernel]

i don't care for ingame mastery

[faint violet]

Use a vepr km then

[royal vale]

mosin

[lapis mauve]

whatever you like the looks of and can have good ammo

[faint violet]

It has 0 recoil

[bold kernel]

vepr isn't really my thing

[stone surge]

he wants full auto though

[faint violet]

.-.

[bold kernel]

i tried using it

[faint violet]

Akm

[royal vale]

ak-74n best weapon

[stone surge]

@bold kernel AK-74M / AK-74N (for auto 5.45 low recoil) AKM for 7.62 higher recoil

Vepr Hunter for budget OP bullet gun

[bold kernel]

thank u richard

[acoustic depot]

welp

[bold kernel]

i'll go for an ak-74m for 5cal and akm for 7 then

I just got killed by a wallhacker

😦

i really have to learn how to fullauto

[acoustic depot]

i'm switching off the generator

[split vapor]

Just don’t use 762 soviet

[bold kernel]

@bold kernel why do u think that

[lapis mauve]

you can shoot through walls

[acoustic depot]

night yall

[harsh seal]

anyone wanna group up and teach a noob the ropes?

[acoustic depot]

(why not use 762 soviet?)

[bold kernel]

Nah cause i didnt make a sound for 5 minutes and some guy just runs full rushes and sprays dircctly through my wall. Didn't even think of me havin an temmate. and i havent ever heard him walk

[split vapor]

@bold kernel that’s not even close to hacks

[spice hedge]

what can i do with dog tags?

[royal vale]

sell them

or trade them

[stone surge]

@bold kernel you would be surprised how well people can hear with headsets and map knowledge

[lapis mauve]

some spots (customs office) its easy to know if someone is there and shoot the walls

[bold kernel]

I had a headset too. but me literally lookin at chat for 5 minutes and coming back to running and sudden shots

[stone surge]

I mean, I do believe there are hackers, I mean there are barely games that do not have them at all

[bold kernel]

I don't think so. :/

Yeah i believe there are hackers aswell

[stone surge]

I just never came across one

[lapis mauve]

where did you die at?

[bold kernel]

But when this guy gives 0 fucks about ANY angle, and just sprays through the wardrobe i was at.

Shoreline.

Third floor hallway

[royal vale]

there's no report system

[bold kernel]

Yeah ik

[royal vale]

why should they care

[split vapor]

There is

lol

[bold kernel]

Wait were?

[split vapor]

Some wood ass cabinet isn’t going to stop bullets m8

[harsh seal]

matter of time before it becomes an in game thing im sure

[bold kernel]

Green ik that its obvious. Just that the guy casually sprays through it like he thinks he can destroy it and go on his way.

I had been looking at the chat for like 5-10 minutes or so. And i alt tab since i start hearing running

[silver dome]

lmfaoo

killed reshala and his crew

[outer parcel]

[silver dome]

he didnt have a keycard unfortunately

then

i killed some normal scav

[outer parcel]

gold tt?

[silver dome]

and somehow he had a keycard

in his pocket

😄

[outer parcel]

nice

[silver dome]

yea gold tt too but that shit isnt as cool as before

tactect trade is g one

[outer parcel]

tru

[tribal sluice]

Anyone down to teach some noobie with 5lvl?

4days in the game.

[amber saffron]

Is the AK-7U good?

What ammo would you recommend to use with it?

[split vapor]

No

[lapis mauve]

not really

[amber saffron]

Ah

[royal vale]

n or m is better

[royal wind]

74U just has a lot of recoil. So you wouldnt want to use it at a distance. Any of the full size 74's would be a better option but no reason not to use one if you found it.

Just dont buy one over a full size 74.

[amber saffron]

I see

[stone surge]

yh just stick with 74N or 74M

[lapis mauve]

if you use it stay on semi unless you poke someone first

[stone surge]

you can mod those out to low recoil or keep it budget, it's really versatile

[amber saffron]

Ah yeah. Thats what i need

What ammo should i get with it

[lapis mauve]

bp/bt/bs

[unique willow]

igolnik is great

[stone surge]

BS = best, but quite expensive. Only run this if you hope to kill geared players. BT is tracer so, well people can see where you shoot from, if this doesnt matter to you, run that.

otherwise BP as budget bullets

[unique willow]

igolnik best**

[stone surge]

Incorrect.

[lapis mauve]

igolnik takes 3 shots to chest or 2 to head if you are unlucky

so kinda bad

[stone surge]

ignolnik does garbage damage

[amber saffron]

Alright thanks

[unique willow]

best against good players

[stone surge]

still no Lol

[unique willow]

tf you on about

[stone surge]

it takes 2 headshots to kill a altyn

so how is that good

[unique willow]

bs aint 1 hit either?

[stone surge]

BS would oneshot it

[lapis mauve]

or 1 with bs

[unique willow]

what you high on

[stone surge]

nope BS oneshots head if it gets through

[unique willow]

lamao

[stone surge]

it's coz ignolnik doesn't do much flesh damage

[lapis mauve]

bs also kills the chest in 2 shots instead of 3

[unique willow]

if you gonna be shooting around scavs just use ps

[amber saffron]

Aight bought loads of BP

[lapis mauve]

bs basically ignores lvl 5 and lower armor and does decent damage

[stone surge]

BP will do you fine

[pseudo forge]

anyone want to help me?

[stone surge]

the moment you face players and die and you see "damage absorbed by armor" really high

[pseudo forge]

not to good at the game

[stone surge]

that's the moment you'd have to consider BS

for future runs

[brazen owl]

BS best round

[silver dome]

early termination in a 30 minute raid?

[lapis mauve]

7n39 is only better (maybe) vs 6b43

[unique willow]

its better against high gear players

and by far

[lapis mauve]

bs goes through lvl 5 armor easy

and most lvl 6 armor in same amount of shots as 7n39

[unique willow]

yea but against 6 it takes a hell of a lot

[lapis mauve]

only 6b43

[unique willow]

and i've already died a few times due to it

[lapis mauve]

rest of the lvl 6 armor bs is about the same

[frail forum]

got a question, for lvl 4 armor what's a decent durability amount? (does it depend on the vest though?)

[lapis mauve]

70% of max or higher usually

[frail forum]

alright thanks

max depends on vest yeah?

[lapis mauve]

material type matters too. yes

[frail forum]

ok thanks

[lapis mauve]

ceramic breaks really fast

[mighty jasper]

What does the stat "sighting range" actually do on a gun?

[stone surge]

@frail forum just keep in mind

[tribal sluice]

@lapis mauve You seem like a ,,know everything” type of a guy. Wanna plau duos or more?

[stone surge]

that the moment your armor is half durability (in raid or w/e)

[tribal sluice]

I,m new, need some guidence

[split vapor]

Get new armor

[stone surge]

that it also isn't as effective on stopping bullets

compared to when it's full

[lapis mauve]

heh, i just pick up stuff in this channel and some videos

[split vapor]

Any armor under its original durability is effectively worse

[stone surge]

@split vapor aslong as it's full it's just as effective no?

I always hear mixed stuff about that

like is a gen4 60/60 just as good as a gen4 68/68

on the first bullet

[split vapor]

A 40/40 repaired armor is the same as a 40/70 original armor

[lapis mauve]

^

60/60 is actually 60/68

[stone surge]

ah I see

[unique willow]

but does it block rounds less effectively

[stone surge]

Yes

[lapis mauve]

yes

[split vapor]

Kinda why repairing is useless unless you’re repairing Kevlar like tactec and trooper as that only removes like a 0.5

[lapis mauve]

and ceramic is basically 1 use armor, maybe 2 if you are poor

[frail forum]

grrr why would a guy be camping in sniper roadblock on customs

[stone surge]

@split vapor What do you think of gen4 assault actually? I mean, arm protection is nice, but i rather have a wounded arm / cms I can heal up and having full durability bodyarmor than a gen4 assault that loses durability for saving my arm

i mean factory doesn't meran as much as you can just extract

[frail forum]

tfw you check both sides of the road before crossing but some guy was in a bush and you didnt see him

[split vapor]

Only armor i use is trooper

[celest sundial]

@frail forum my favorite tactic :p

[frail forum]

reeee

[celest sundial]

hahaha

[split vapor]

Plus I don’t plan on getting shot at

[stone surge]

that's a good plan

[frail forum]

the fact is, i need to get to big red office for the task but i keep getting spawned on the opposite side of the map
