Because people who can't buy from traders will pay stupid prices for the item on flea

More reason to level traders

Flea is players trying to make profit. Low level people can't buy a lot of stuff so they pay inflated prices for stuff on flea.

[unique willow]

ok with this scope, are you supposed to aim in the middle of the lines, or the top of the line from bottom?

[shell brook]

top of point

[dull cave]

top of point

[shell brook]

but it's not real life and with zeroing it won't matter

[dull cave]

fuck

[shell brook]

since it will be inaccurate anyway

[steady pilot]

Pu best scope

[boreal wagon]

is there a way to put armour plates in armour or something tho?

[steady pilot]

No

Should be

[boreal wagon]

I agree

[steady pilot]

Armored rigs are the meta

Btw

Very efficient and effective to run

[dull cave]

tactec

[boreal wagon]

hmm good to know

[bold kernel]

How do I get the PMC role? Just type?

[dull cave]

#521628660298678283

#news-setup

[steady pilot]

#news-setup

[bold kernel]

oh thanks

[dull cave]

all new players wanting to experience thiccness, tactec!

the 70k level 5 armor

with the same effective durability as a full gen4!

tactec

Find it at your local level 3 ragman dealer

[steady pilot]

That bitch has saved my ass so many times

[dull cave]

I run killa armor and tactecs basically exclusively lol

[steady pilot]

Yep I did too cause I go for an aesthetic kit too

[trail narwhal]

Great intel. Thanks

[dull cave]

yup

if you are talking about the tactec thing

if you have ragman3, buy a golden tt

[bold kernel]

Pog

[dull cave]

if you are fast, at the beginning of trader reset you can nab a tactec for 1 tt

@bold kernel try using a vpn

[boreal wagon]

yo I got the mp5 from peackeeper!

nice

[dull cave]

nice

[steady pilot]

@bold kernel get ready to get shit on

[open basin]

Mp5

[bold kernel]

lol

[steady pilot]

Hope you know about the learning curve

[dull cave]

what curve

[zealous knot]

o no....i got a pistol scav and went into woods as a death mission to learn the map....walked up on this guy who killed most of the server. he was looting a crate at the checkpoint and i just 2 tapped im in the head he didnt even hear me. i feel terrible

[bold kernel]

So how exactly does the game work

[open basin]

You shoot stuff

[bold kernel]

oh true

[steady pilot]

@bold kernel okay while you wait for download

Go look up pestily and deadlyslob beginner videos

[bold kernel]

alright thank you

[steady pilot]

And utilize the tarkov wiki for information on maps

To learn extracts

And learn how to do quests

Use offline mode explore with no gain or loss to items

[open basin]

How do i stop getting shot at the arms

[dull cave]

kill them before they shoot you

[steady pilot]

And use scav as much as possible, scav random free kit that you can loot on kill other players wity

@bold kernel got it?

You will die. You will die a lot. Its discouraging but this is a knowledge based game.

Once you learn it, game is actually quite simple and easy

[nocturne oxide]

Anyone wanna play I’m EU based

[zealous knot]

hey sw_delta. you said you run vepr km and ak103s. do you run ps ammo or do you use bp?

[nocturne oxide]

Lfg chat ain’t really popping

[steady pilot]

Both. I'm not poor so BP

[zealous knot]

ok thanks. yeah i have the money im gonna run bp

[steady pilot]

You see ivan. Cheap gun is ok. Cheap bullets aren't.

[zealous knot]

also i heard akm can take a better stock than ak103 and a modded akm is better than ak103?

[open basin]

Yeah f cheap bullets

[steady pilot]

No

The akm gets a slight and very minor advantage because of the zhukov stocknbeing so op for 20k

But its 45k.

[zealous knot]

yeah thats the one. zhukov. but you think ak103 still better?

[steady pilot]

Might as well use a 103 for 30k. A gp25 pad on the stock is just as effective

[zealous knot]

ok ok thanks

[steady pilot]

Either way, it's not really a gun you use fullnauto

[zealous knot]

its cool that all the ak74s i find. the parts fit on ak103

[steady pilot]

Keep it on single and tapfire

Just like an sks

(But better)

[open basin]

Use the hk instead

[zealous knot]

ahhh ok. i know full auto is to crazy with 7.62. i nneda save up for m4

[steady pilot]

Dude honestly

Buying a m4 for 55k, adding a kac handguard and grip and decent optic like prism or elcan

Is solid

You dont need max meta full autonshit to get kills

And a nt4 suppressor for 35k

Also helps

[zealous knot]

i feel like 5.45aks full auto decent. but everyone says 5.45 ammo sucks and will get you killed against geared player

[steady pilot]

That's a solid build for sub 100k

You can change a few more parts if want

If youbarent rocking 545 bs yes

556 gets m855a1 and m995 which are both effective

[vague wind]

i like the vepr

[steady pilot]

And hunter is 30k and just needs a 1p59 or pso1 to just trashcan geared boys

What I'm getting at is: good scope. Good bullet. All you need.

[waxen forge]

Best gun is the one using the best bullet

[steady pilot]

👌

[unique willow]

yea the more everyone abuses that broken shit the faster they fix it

so better use it now when its still as broken as it is

[steady pilot]

Yep

I already for see the reduction of m80 below 80 dmg

And introduction a .308 round that bolt actions will utilize

[boreal wagon]

whats the best way to get exp

just kill scavs or what?

[steady pilot]

Quests

And scavs on the side

[boreal wagon]

ok

[steady pilot]

Pmcs for dessert

[boreal wagon]

lol

ive never killed a pmc

[steady pilot]

Hatchlings that you can pick apart like little spiderlings

[boreal wagon]

i have killed player scavs tho

[bold kernel]

So Scavs let me extract with loot I can put on my PMC

[steady pilot]

Yes

[bold kernel]

They are just on a time limit?

whenever I die

[steady pilot]

Everyone is on a time limit

[bold kernel]

pmcs and scavs?

[steady pilot]

Each raid has a start time

[bold kernel]

oh I see

[steady pilot]

When raid time ends everyone inside it still dies

So the goal is to extract before that happens

[bold kernel]

So just only use scavs starting out

[steady pilot]

Permanent Extracts will always be on opposite end of map besides conditional ones in between

I recommend scaving as much as possible to learn core mechanic

Before losing all your stuff

[waxen forge]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdfcETFsQMI

[steady pilot]

You can play offline and have scavs spawn in to practice with any gear you want with no gain or loss. You go back to what you originally had before the raid.

[bold kernel]

yea I saw that

[tribal cove]

Fuck me. I am down to 6% survival rate. Every time I have to fight someone face to face I lose. Only did a couple for player kills, but I was camping like a bitch

[steady pilot]

Sometimes the best option is to not shoot

And expose yourself

[tribal cove]

I did that, sometimes too often refused to shoot and wait for a better moment, but I somehow get killed

I' ll play in a squad tomorrow

I only did solo

[steady pilot]

That's probably due to bad weapon and ammo choice too

[neat spruce]

@steady pilot how many sets of raid gear do you keep on hand? Or do you rebuild/rebuy after each KIA?

[steady pilot]

Uhh I get lots of stuff hanging around but I buy as I need to

[bold kernel]

I just finished watching this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkpwFfAqV8Q

Is this still good and relevant?

[steady pilot]

I have like 30 unused guns and I still build more

[neat spruce]

lol

I have tiny starting stash and no gun cases... so....

[steady pilot]

Get you some pistol cases

[tribal cove]

Last raid I got a mosin with sbn and got camped, couldn't even react

[steady pilot]

You can store mags and ammo in them and label it

Snb is the worst ammo to use for a bolt action

[tribal cove]

Went with this, but I chamged the armor

To a better one

[steady pilot]

7n1 is above 80 dmg for 1 tap potential to chest. Chest is 80 hp. 45 pen is enough to pen lvl 4 and sometimes 5

[tribal cove]

Also got camped

[steady pilot]

Snb is below 80 dmg

[frosty plinth]

oh yay, just died to infinite heal bug 😦

[tribal cove]

I rarely even get to shoot ppl

So sbn is not that good?

[steady pilot]

@tribal coveonly thing I can tell you is check your corners. Expect campers. learn from deaths.

[bold kernel]

Can I pay to upgrade my stash later on?

[steady pilot]

@bold kernelyou can

You just pay the difference

[bold kernel]

ok nice

[steady pilot]

The package minus cost of game

[tribal cove]

Yup, I guess this game is juat very frustrating as a new player

[steady pilot]

Yep

Everyone sucks when they start

[frosty plinth]

@tribal cove it will be if you expect to live

[steady pilot]

Even shroud

[frosty plinth]

just go in there knowing you will probably die, and learn from each run

[steady pilot]

This isnt a plug and play cod

[unique willow]

i dont understand why people say everyone sucks when they started, shroud 100% did not suck even in his first couple raids

[tribal cove]

I just got to lvl 5, modded tome guns and like them a lot, too bad I didn't get to shoot them

[unique willow]

he was fairly good at the start

and a god in a few games

[frosty plinth]

don't get attached to your guns :p

[steady pilot]

Yes he can click heads, doesnt mean he didnt have a rough start

It's a knowledge game

[bold kernel]

Honestly I think a lot of people just say that not to discourage new players lol

[unique willow]

when you are as good as he is at clicking heads, thats already quite enough to make a living in tarkov

[steady pilot]

I wholly disagree but ok

Off topic discussion

[tribal cove]

I used to tap heads in cs too, but tarkov has a different gun mechanic, way more realistc

[steady pilot]

To a degree

[bold kernel]

@tribal cove tip

[tribal cove]

True, it is still a game

[bold kernel]

if you're not gonna use a gun because you're scared of losing it

just sell it

it's useless sitting in your inventory

that's why my stash looks like this

[tribal cove]

Wow

Fully empty?

[open basin]

empty funds too

[tribal cove]

You dont have much money

[pseudo mural]

Man, I'm done trying today. Not sure what's up with me but I legit have died 11 raids straight

[tribal cove]

I see

[bold kernel]

@tribal cove @open basin cuz i spent them on red rebel

😡

[open basin]

lmfao

[bold kernel]

ye i wanna run reserve

[frosty plinth]

RR is worth it though so all good

[bold kernel]

so you keep everything in your pouch regardless of what happens?

[tribal cove]

@bold kernel I just sold my remington 700 sniper, bcs I was sure I will be afraid to use it and got a mosin

Even made profit

STONKS

[bold kernel]

eh snipers are pretty safe to use

[unique willow]

i really do like kebabs way of playing

[pseudo mural]

last night I just ran 153+ap ammo with a paca

[bold kernel]

like realistically you can only lose the weapon

[pseudo mural]

and destroyed a buncha peeps, it was stupid

[unique willow]

just selling everything and buying what you need

[bold kernel]

the ammo will be fine if you store it in your secure container

[unique willow]

dont make the same mistake im doing

everything is just for storing

i dont use any of this

please help

[bold kernel]

@unique willow show ur junkbox

how much room is in a single weapon case?

[pseudo mural]

my stash is empty except for junk, 2 guns, 2 armor, 2 tiny rigs and a few trizips.

I buy everything I need so

[unique willow]

nothing incredible here

[tribal cove]

@pseudo mural but how much money do you have?

[pseudo mural]

about a mil

[bold kernel]

lol @unique willow

saving up for hideout upgrades

[pseudo mural]

mostly from last night

[unique willow]

what are you saving the dogtags for?

[bold kernel]

what is junk used for?

uhh

prapor questline

10 dogtags per faction

[tribal cove]

What should I do with my dogtags

I have like 3

[bold kernel]

10 bear and 10 usec dogtags are needed for the punisher part 6

[pseudo mural]

i've been just doing super cheap runs last night, shotgun+apammo+scav vest+duffel/army/scavbp, lots of scav kills a few player kills and about 1mil in profit over 10 raids

[unique willow]

actually yea i should start saving the low level dogtags too

[bold kernel]

the higher the level of the dogtag is, the more it sells for

[pseudo mural]

then I lost my butt running with friends 🙂

[bold kernel]

you can sell dogtags at therapist for biggest profit

[silver dome]

all usecs

except for top 😄

[bold kernel]

you can also trade them at vendors for certain items

[silver dome]

yes

[bold kernel]

but they're required to be of a certain level

[silver dome]

keep all dogtags under 10

sell rest

[tribal cove]

M4a1 you rich

[silver dome]

lol

do u wanna see how itlooks ?

[tribal cove]

Sure

[silver dome]

@tribal cove

32 recoil 🤡

[tribal cove]

@bold kernel nice. I will keep them

[unique willow]

oh wow

i should really just save the low tier dogtags

[tribal cove]

Damn

[unique willow]

since i get like 1k out of them anyways

[pseudo mural]

Lol, I love running the 9x19 for the tiny recoil on dorms, it's stupid good for cheap

[tribal cove]

@silver dome that gun is worth more than my stash

• money

[unique willow]

what 9x19?

[silver dome]

lol#

[pseudo mural]

the pp?

[bold kernel]

how do i unfold the weapon in the preset screen

[pseudo mural]

i don't remember which

[silver dome]

unfold it

[pseudo mural]

the little one that can go full auto

[silver dome]

in the stashj

then unfold it in the preset

[bold kernel]

how

[tribal cove]

I have this and I am proud

[pseudo mural]

9x18 maybe? i dunno i'm not paying attention half the time

[tribal cove]

BT not PS

[pseudo mural]

it's just got stupid low recoil and full auto, doesn't pen worth a crap but my aim sucks regardless

it atleast gives you a fighting chance vs dudes running m4's with 38 recoil

[steady pilot]

Budget build btw. You can apply same parts to an ak103 or ak74/n/m. Your preference

[pseudo mural]

ya I run something similar for my budget gun

[steady pilot]

The parts are about 7k-10k

[analog fulcrum]

at what point can you always afford going out fully geared? atm I gotta often do knife runs and scav runs or else I go bankrupt xP...

[pseudo mural]

think it's like 37k total with 3 mags

but I can't seem to hit today with a mosin, so full auto 9 it is.

[tribal cove]

I like how I am confident enough sometimes to bring 3 mags full of good ammo and dont even get to empty half of the first one

[silver dome]

Budget build , low recoil m4a1

[pseudo mural]

I usually take 3 mags total, plus a bit of extra ammo in the secure

[tribal cove]

@silver dome how much?

[silver dome]

@analog fulcrum if you have over 2million in ur stash not including the items actually in ur stash then ur fine

[brazen owl]

Guys I need to kill scavs with a shotgun on woods

[silver dome]

wazie

it cost something around 400-500k

[brazen owl]

What weapon you folks recommend and what round?

[silver dome]

crf

[pseudo mural]

it's the opposite of budget wazie

[silver dome]

whats ur budget

slowly

i didnt say what the budget was 🤡

[tribal cove]

Yup. I have 600k rn

[silver dome]

wazie dont bother

u need to buy ammo , mags , armor

[pseudo mural]

Do the build that delta showed you wazie

[silver dome]

^

[boreal wagon]

bro i need storage so bad, ut i wanna keep everything i have

[tribal cove]

I will

@pseudo mural

[pseudo mural]

get decent armor, his build, and go to interchange

[silver dome]

griffin

everyones been in that stage

@boreal wagon show me ur stash?

[boreal wagon]

ok

[tribal cove]

Only raided factory and customs so far

[silver dome]

dont go interchange

[tribal cove]

But I should try something new too

[silver dome]

wazie , do u have marked key?

for customs

[tribal cove]

Umm

Idk

[silver dome]

the 25/25

one

[pseudo mural]

interchange is good for loot and a 7.62 is nice to have some space.

[tribal cove]

I have some keys

Yea

[silver dome]

it only costs 40-70k

yep

[boreal wagon]

wait I dont know how to screenshot on my pc lol

[tribal cove]

Wiat

[silver dome]

if u want to get ur cash up

[boreal wagon]

im kinda stupid

[silver dome]

go to dorms with the key in ur pouch

and a pistol

[pseudo mural]

"run to marked room grab the stuff then go"

[silver dome]

or if ur broke

then hatchet

[pseudo mural]

but also, everyone else will be doing the same thing.

[silver dome]

get a good spawn make sure u have 7k

[pseudo mural]

so good luck with that 🙂

[silver dome]

then run to v-ex

slowly shut upo

interchange isnt for everyone the loot there is aids

if you get a good spawn u most likely will get marked room

[zealous forge]

Lmao what

[silver dome]

like me

[waxen forge]

You guys telling people who don't even know the basics of the game that the best way to make money is to rush Marked Room isn't really helpful

[silver dome]

i never meet anyone

[pseudo mural]

Telling newbies to go to the most pvp filled area on the worst map for newbies

[silver dome]

it really is

[pseudo mural]

yup

[zealous forge]

How is the loot in interchange aids?

[waxen forge]

They need to know how to make reliable money with little risk

[silver dome]

interchange is aids loot

[pseudo mural]

volkov advice as usual

[silver dome]

LOL

its not pvp filled

if u get there first and get out

[waxen forge]

Interchange is easy loot. 200-300K easy each run if you DO IT RIGHT

[pseudo mural]

Interchange is 150-300k without work

[unique willow]

great way to get familiar with the game and pcp, and also the fact that the game just does not like you, is to run factory over and over

[silver dome]

good luck on interchange then , the extract camped , loot requiring map

[tribal cove]

@silver dome I will try that tomorrow. I have a 2 different 25/25 keys 70k on therapist

[steady pilot]

Volkov quit telling people to not go to interchange

[zealous forge]

Do you know how many people I've killed who were running to extract with marked room loot

[waxen forge]

Plus you can avoid people and loot

[steady pilot]

You are literally not helpful

[tribal cove]

Forgot the names

[pseudo mural]

Volkov, just because you can do it

doesn't mean everyone can

[zealous forge]

Interchange has extract camping but it's so little

[steady pilot]

I have no issues with extract camping

[zealous forge]

And as long as you time your run to it, you're good

[steady pilot]

Mainly cause I'm one the one who dominates it

[pseudo mural]

and telling newbies to run to marked room on customs is just..ya. That's not good advice man.

[zealous forge]

I've been extract camped twice or atleast have had pvp at it a few times

[rocky ocean]

how about just playing and making own experiences?

[pseudo mural]

extract camping is pretty rare for me, it happens though

[waxen forge]

I've probably run 15 Interchange today and not 1 exfil camper

[pseudo mural]

happens a lot more on customs than interchange for me

[bold kernel]

just rush marked room :4head:

[pseudo mural]

(V-ex, FFC, smugglers boat)

a lot more likely to get exfil domed there i think

[analog fulcrum]

what are good places to do some knife runs as a broke newb(preferably something that would fit inside secure container since I got like 5% survival rate...)?

[waxen forge]

Nowhere

[tribal cove]

What marked key do I need for customs

[waxen forge]

No knife runs

[rocky ocean]

@analog fulcrum do scav runs instead

[pseudo mural]

if your super broke, grab a pistol or your scav, go to shoreline

hit the underground caches on the outside of the map

[rocky ocean]

or find a group / group up with others

[pseudo mural]

don't go to the spa

then exfil

[waxen forge]

Loot tech stores and PC on Interchange. ..Get out and sell it all to therapist (or flea is better price there)

Then go do it again

[hallow pelican]

@tribal cove should be called marked key

[brazen owl]

What would be a good shotgun and round to kill scavs at woods?

[hallow pelican]

!wiki marked key

[silver dome]

customs dorms isnt the most pvp zone

[broken quail]

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Marked_key

Escape from Tarkov Wiki

Marked key

Marked key (Mark.Key) is a Key in Escape from Tarkov.

[pseudo mural]

there are always scav's on the outside of the ring road/edges on shoreline to kill for cheapo guns

[lapis mauve]

saiga 12 with the green shells, they have +150% accuracy

[waxen forge]

It's the most PvP zone on the map aside from construction

[pseudo mural]

i normally take a shotgun+ap ammo

Customs dorm is the most pvp in that map usually

[hallow pelican]

I get more pvp at big red tbh

[pseudo mural]

I get in pvp at big red too

i wouldn't tell a newbie to rush there grab the loot and exfil either because it's a bad strategy for a new player

[tribal cove]

@hallow pelican ok thx. I have a RB-BK, RB-VO and safe key

[silver dome]

exaclty

big red is filled with pvp more than dorms

[hallow pelican]

@tribal cove yea those are for reserve

[brazen owl]

AP-20 @pseudo mural?

[pseudo mural]

ya, except big red doesn't have a scav boss occasionally

[silver dome]

lol

[brazen owl]

@lapis mauve whats the name of the "green one"?

[silver dome]

but when dorms do , you can fuck one of his guards up and take his gun and kill the rest

with a pistol

[pseudo mural]

Please go record yourself doing that reliably

[lapis mauve]

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/12/70_HP_Slug_Copper_Sabot_Premier

just dont use it on players

[pseudo mural]

I'll 100% shut my mouth if you can consistently get to marked room, kill the scav boss and some players and exfil

[lapis mauve]

for sniping scavs, for players use ap-20

[pseudo mural]

with a pistol.

[lapis mauve]

as a new player

experienced player can do that

[brazen owl]

gotta hit somewhere specific for that to work or can hit chest of scavs, RC?

[pseudo mural]

yes, but even an experienced player faces some decent risk doing that

[lapis mauve]

does 160 damage so one taps chest, yes

[brazen owl]

I guess it will pen some armor?

[lapis mauve]

yeah, much better to bring gear and a good gun.

it will 1-2 shot paca

which is why you want to avoid players (i assume you are doing a scav killing quest)

[brazen owl]

Yep scav killing quest

I'll mix AP-20 with the premier

using a saiga-12

[lapis mauve]

yeah, saiga 12 with pso (or whatever) and you are good to go

just be sure to zero properly when sniping

pso 1m2-1 has a rangefinder

[fringe magnet]

LOL

I just found two guys powerleveling strength in shoreline swamp

they were hitting each other in the legs

with melee weapons

easy grenade kills

[lapis mauve]

Were they inside a building?

[fringe magnet]

yes

[lapis mauve]

Ah, unlucky for them

[brazen owl]

how?

[lapis mauve]

Magic

[brazen owl]

for real

how that works?

is it visual bug or there is 8 rounds in that?

[bold kernel]

how much are factory keys?

[lapis mauve]

Bug

[fringe magnet]

@bold kernel https://eft-loot.com/

[bold kernel]

wow

when i asked if a place to check shit online exists no one told me about this

epic

too fucking bad my scav loot is bugged :)

[pseudo mural]

it's wrong though

red keycard is going for 16.8mil, 8 day old data apparently

also, it doesn't really work, try typing something in and searching or picking a catagory, not sure if that's just me

[fringe magnet]

well

it just takes the 4 cheapest flea market offers

at a given time

and takes the avergae

ofc it's not correct 100%

but it's useful if you're in raid and wanna check what an item is worth approx

[silver dome]

what does this mean

[unique willow]

you likely drank an energy drink

[proud gulch]

it means those traits are boosted by +1

[unique willow]

buffs for a bit

those skills are 1 level higher

[silver dome]

ohh

i thought it adds to mys kill permanently

[fringe magnet]

That would be so broken

[silver dome]

gg

[fringe magnet]

?

[silver dome]

does anyone in the uk want free ubereats food? :d

[upper sky]

your boxes are sideways and it bothers me

[placid heath]

^this

[hidden meteor]

http://prntscr.com/qdrq1s

how much higher was i supposed to aim according to the reticle?

[rocky ocean]

aim for the head 😄

works for me on any distance it seems 😂

or atleast on top of his head so the bullet drops in his head but idk how heavy the bullet drop is

but i havent noticed it much while sniping with mosin / sks

[zealous forge]

If your above them you should have aimed for the head or slightly above it

Unless your using a VSS or something

[unique willow]

i would have said about the the 3rd one

[steady pilot]

@hidden meteor you would need to know how far away you are

That's how you know the hold over

On a rough estimation it seems like 350-375. @reef spoke what you think

[rocky ocean]

it doesnt look far enough for me

[zealous knot]

press page up to zero your scope to further distance?

i like to just aim higher in most shooters

[steady pilot]

@zealous knot yes but you have to know how far you are

It looks like hes sniping from the idea tower towards the wall somewhere

[zealous knot]

ahh yea if the scopes are like pubg. each line will represent 100 meters or something. but idk if the scopes adjust to diff bullet velocity? can diff bullets in the same gun give you diff velocities?

[hidden meteor]

@steady pilot im sniping from 2nd floor mall window

http://prntscr.com/qdrs8s

[steady pilot]

Yeah that Looks like 300m-400m range

[hidden meteor]

sniper said its less then 200m

._.

[steady pilot]

Who

[hidden meteor]

the tower guy

[steady pilot]

Oh yeah I mean it probably is

Its probably 200, but I'm leaning towards 300..it looks far but he knows. Better

[silver dome]

my character looking HOT

hi nublet ;d

[unique willow]

nice tactec

i honestly just cant understand why literally everyone is not running it

[trail narwhal]

I’m gonna run those tomorrow.

[unique willow]

straight up 100% they will nerf it in the next couple of days

dont stack up on them too much

[trail narwhal]

Word.

[unique willow]

they will lose their value

[trail narwhal]

I just need a few tasks. 25 scavs interchange. I keep getting shot in the ear

[drowsy lantern]

How do you group up in this game and how many people can be in a group?

[trail narwhal]

In the lobby. You right click and add

As many as 6 I’ve seen

[drowsy lantern]

Can Scavs group up?

[brazen owl]

Yes. max is 5

[lapis mauve]

Why would they nerf tactec? They buffed it’s durability

[split vapor]

Uh

Pmc groups are 5
Scavs are 4

But if spend 2 minutes and plan as pmc you can fill the entire match with your group

[waxen forge]

@drowsy lantern #521628660298678283 so you can see all of Discord

[lapis mauve]

Have an entire army of dudes, I imagine that gets a little chaotic. Probably fun though. Poor scavs

[split vapor]

We’ve 10 man milbase a lot

[drowsy lantern]

ANy suggestions on newbie maps other than customs to start out on? I can't survive more than like 3 minutes without getting killed on customs

[lapis mauve]

Interchange

[split vapor]

Depends why are you dying

[drowsy lantern]

I spawn in, move around, get killed

[waxen forge]

I would guess you are dying because you are wandering into danger areas without knowing they are dangerous

[tribal cove]

How do I make THICC cash fast?

[split vapor]

Scav interchange or milbase

[fringe magnet]

dont scav

ever

learn to pmc

pistol run

interchange

[steady pilot]

?

Who are you

[fringe magnet]

😄

[bold kernel]

Scav runs op bruv

[steady pilot]

They are

Ignore him. If you have money issues scaving is important

[bold kernel]

U enter the raid, kill 1 geared dude and loot the entire map ez

[waxen forge]

Can make plenty of money without killing a PMC geared or otherwise

[bold kernel]

Pistol run kiba store and die to killa every time he spawns is my personal favorite

[tribal cove]

I once acted like a scav and 2 more scavs stoped near a door and I joined them. After 20 sec of acting we all shot eachother. Turns out we were all players

[split vapor]

Kiba is worthless

[bold kernel]

How so

[waxen forge]

It's not worth all the hype

Can make easy money in the rest of the mall

[pseudo mural]

AS Val's are nice but gfx cards are worth more

[waxen forge]

Then buy weapons

[bold kernel]

Doesn't make it worthless

[bronze oak]

How do you guys deal with extract campers? I do well in raids but extract campers keep killing me

[open basin]

i havent dealt with extract campers much

[pseudo mural]

throw a nade where they usually sit

[open basin]

only like twice

[split vapor]

Kiba rarely has anything good in it

[waxen forge]

Only factory has problem with exfil campers consistently

[pseudo mural]

I've only had exfil campers on Customs and Factory(although that's not really exfil camping honestly)

[split vapor]

Factory is dumb

[pseudo mural]

factory is so small that I don't really consider that exfil camping lol

[waxen forge]

I've run all day (on maps other than factory) and haven't seen 1 exfil camper

[bronze oak]

Ive had them on interchange and reserve

[bold kernel]

Interchange gets extract camped a lot

[split vapor]

Is it exit camping when I see you through my scope 300m away

[pseudo mural]

I've never been exfil camped on interchange

[trail narwhal]

Neither have I. In over a year

[bronze oak]

Maybe i just had bad luck last night

[bold kernel]

You kidding? I've seen 3 just today and yesterday

[open basin]

i've only ran to exfill campers on emercom checkpoint twice

[pseudo mural]

done about 50 interchange runs and haven't seen a single exfil camper but who knows, i'm sure there are tons of em

[trail narwhal]

I run interchange the second I need cash.

[open basin]

i've done over 50 and only twice

[trail narwhal]

Then customs with marked key.

[pseudo mural]

I will occasionally have an exfil camper on smugglers boat or v-ex or Factory far corner but that's it usually

[bold kernel]

I only ever run interchange and customs

Because I play solo and I'm bad

[pseudo mural]

but it could also be that they're not exfil camping, they're just exfilling and heard you coming

[waxen forge]

Also have to consider if it's camping or if they just happen to make way to exfil at the same time as you.

[bold kernel]

Doesn't really happen on interchange though

[waxen forge]

I did have a guy at exfil on Shoreline this morning but he was clearly heading that way at the same time I was

[bold kernel]

It's usually obvious whether they're camping or also extracting

[pseudo mural]

I mean, scope it out first then

[bold kernel]

^ On interchange

[pseudo mural]

I always check for bodies first on interchange because I've heard it can be an issue

and then immediately run into tents or throw a nade in

[bold kernel]

That works

Either way, they suck

[long spear]

i dont think ive ever seen an extract camper in any of my raids

but you know how people are, even if it was coincidence they were extract camping

[lapis mauve]

It’s happened to me twice, they killed me once. On shoreline. Other time was factory but he sucked and died

[steady pilot]

[pseudo mural]

Like I said, factory exfil camping is like stealing in the army,nobodys actually stealing, we're all just trying to get our stuff back that was stolen

very similar.

[open basin]

the tact sport sounds so much nicer

[pseudo mural]

Oh ya man, anything sounds 100x better than the crappy ones

those are awful

[open basin]

i usually use comtac 2s

but even those are kinda bad

[split vapor]

Yes they bad

Gssh best

[open basin]

i got these tac sports off a player scav sprinting their ass off

[pseudo mural]

Lol

[open basin]

poor guy had a labs keycard

[pseudo mural]

I normally don't run comtacs cuz my hearing is super bad

i rely more on visual than sound unfortunately, I know this game is 90% sound though so I try to run with a duo atleast with a hearing person 😛

[open basin]

this scrap metal quest looks like a giant pain in the ass

[unborn bobcat]

So, I accepted the rules and did the setup but I don't see a LFG channel?

[open basin]

you have to wait till it registers you as a pmc

[long spear]

the bot is acting up lately

a mod can do it for you

[harsh laurel]

Ive had the same issue... but Its been a few days now

[long spear]

contact a mod about it

[harsh laurel]

TY

[lapis mauve]

Message a mod if it takes longer than 10 min

[bold kernel]

I hate spawning in ass a scav and finding a graphics card and flash drive the second i spawn

[open basin]

thats the best

[bold kernel]

48 minutes left on interchange

I just know im gonna die with this

[open basin]

go to the railway exfill then

[waxen forge]

You can just leave

[bold kernel]

I should but

I'm g r e e d y

My number 1 cause of death

[waxen forge]

Greed kills

[zealous forge]

I use comtacs but I hate how they sound

Gssh and tac pros don't seem to isolate noice as well though

[bold kernel]

What about the sport ones

Or is that tac pros

[long spear]

theres also sordins

i preferred them to comtacs

but i dont like headsets period

never used them much

[bold kernel]

Only use headsets on interchange personally

Sometimes customs when I know im gonna sit in dorms

[warm rover]

Man I've been offline on interchange and it's hard to remember the places, there's just soo many stores

[steady pilot]

Imagine thinking gssh best

[pseudo mural]

I hear no difference between gssh and tac pro

[bold kernel]

Just remember the good ones and the layout @warm rover

[pseudo mural]

😦

[royal vale]

is it worth looting kiba shop?

[pseudo mural]

sometimes?

[steady pilot]

Com tacs are gucci I found out sordins are ass although they are super clear they have horrible range

[royal vale]

i mean key cost like 1kk

[long spear]

i watched a video comparing comtacs and sordins and the range was the same

[pseudo mural]

i mainly use all of them for range not clarity so i dislike the sordins too

[long spear]

i forget what the date was on it

[pseudo mural]

the sordins sound louder farther away than the tac pros though

[steady pilot]

I swapped over and I noticed a big difference

Just recently

The sounds get comingled

And you cant tell as easy with sordins

[bold kernel]

Wait wot

When I entered scav loot transfer it only showed the stuff I started with

[waxen forge]

Bug

[long spear]

might be lagging

[bold kernel]

Is there a way to fix it

[long spear]

i had that happen on my pmc and it showed up 5--10 min later

[bold kernel]

Or did I lose all my shit

that "bug" made me lose 600k

[waxen forge]

Move something over...then hit next...should get the untransferred

Then hit back and should get error

Stuff will show up

[bold kernel]

Thanks @waxen forge !

[waxen forge]

10-4

[bold kernel]

Worked

I had a hard attack lmao, my graphics caaaard

[waxen forge]

Yea it's a fun bug

[steady pilot]

I don't scav so I dont run into this issue

[long spear]

^

[bold kernel]

I scav, sell stuff and mod guns while I wait for my next scav to go off cd and then scav again, over and over again.

Then when I finally get a duo buddy I whip out all my good shit and we die instantly

I love it

[pseudo mural]

Yup, I scav/pistol run

so I can play with my 3/4 man group

I honestly don't enjoy scav/pistol runs solo, it feels like a chore because it is, but I do it so I can run with my group and this is the most fun i've had playing a game

[steady pilot]

You mean veprkm run*

Pft pistol

[bold kernel]

I think they're quite fun. It's just so frustrating to lose gear as a solo player for some reason

Scav runs are more enjoyable than pistol runs though, imo

[raw jacinth]

what handguards with picatinny rails can i use for the adar?

[waxen forge]

That's a long list

Upgrade workbench then go to Flea and examine every weapon part available.

[raw jacinth]

any suggestions that are kinda cheap?

[waxen forge]

Then right click on ADAR and Edit Preset

You will be able to swap stuff on and off as you like til you find something that suits you,.

[raw jacinth]

i cant upgrade workbench rn

[lapis mauve]

list on the left

[raw jacinth]

handgaurds not foregrips, big oof

thanks though

[delicate gust]

What weapon should I be using in the beginning? I currently am using an SKS but it seems super weak??

[raw jacinth]

its the ammo, sks is good

[delicate gust]

takes like 8 shots to kill a scav

what sort of ammo should I use?

[raw jacinth]

7.62x39 right?

BP is what i use

[strange mural]

bp is the bis

[delicate gust]

oh I was using PS

[strange mural]

but ps is acceptable

and much cheaper

[raw jacinth]

ps can work

if armour is not great

[warm basalt]

Yo MrChan im gonna dm you a link to an ammo chart

[strange mural]

primarily it wont do much to geared pmcs if you dont hit head

[warm basalt]

If thats cool with u?

[strange mural]

chan check the wiki i linked

[delicate gust]

ok

[strange mural]

bp is from the flea market

or high level traders

[dim frigate]

can you dm me that too?

[warm basalt]

The table snutri sent is the same one mine is just the google drive one

[neat spruce]

Okay, how the heck to I extract cliff descent on Woods? I had paracord but I got a message that said I needed an RR and had to ditch my armor.

[bold kernel]

is this THE BOOK?

[strange mural]

you need red rebel

and you need to have no body armor

[royal vale]

what a joke

[strange mural]

armored rig is accepted

[royal vale]

why servers lagging this bad

or people using lag switch

[neat spruce]

What is red rebel?

[strange mural]

a melee weapon

costs some 2m+

[neat spruce]

I found it on the wiki

damn

[strange mural]

its used for two extracts

hence its insane price

[neat spruce]

One on Reserve, too, right?

[strange mural]

yep

[royal vale]

i got one, never knew that you can use it to extract

on which maps?

[strange mural]

reserve and woods

[neat spruce]

along with Paracord

[strange mural]

its the only reliable way to extract from reserve, reserve has a shit ton of loot= high price

i wouldnt ever touch reserve without it

[royal vale]

never been on reserve i feel like interchange is not that bad as well

[strange mural]

oh interchange is very good

the risk is soooo much lower

[royal vale]

what's full lab set mean

[strange mural]

all the key cards probably?

[steady pilot]

Reserve is gucci if you know how to avoid snipers and stuff

[spice hedge]

are keys single use?

[hearty sky]

I have started Farming part 1 i have used both tool set but i was killed. I see in tasks that i have finished both repairs but i did not survive and extract. Do i need to enter the game and extract or? Its weird

[long spear]

yes

some quests you have to get the non run through when it says survive and extract

but some dont when i did them

forget which

[upbeat flax]

btw, taking budget build requests. in case someone wants me to make something for them

[bold kernel]

I'd love that!

What info should I give you?

[upbeat flax]

gun, budget and if you care for maximum ergo / recoil. or a sexy (looking) look @bold kernel

and what you want the gun for.

[bold kernel]

Aha okay give me a second

[pseudo mural]

Reserve is great if you don't spawn in the spots that you have to cross half the map to get to stuff

[upbeat flax]

not really.

[royal vale]

2 games in row i see 3/4 man squads just rushing to kiba, is it always like this on interchange?

[upbeat flax]

don't play interchange

[pseudo mural]

Not always but regularly ya you'll get 3 man squads

[royal vale]

impossible to loot solo

[upbeat flax]

i go for pvp if i spawn on the train side. loot if on the dorms

[pseudo mural]

If you're after $$$, just do the shoreline route

[royal vale]

i don't like shore

[pseudo mural]

There's a super easy route around the outside of shoreline that you can make a lot of money on and almost never see another player

[upbeat flax]

shoreline 🤢

Reserve

[long spear]

reserve route with manhole exit is probably best money route right now, and no keys needed

it seems like bsg designed it that way honestly

the way manhole is right next to loot that is mostly 2x1 or 1 slot so you can get out with a rig

[upbeat flax]

honestly, if you need to do special "routes" on maps to make money to run gear and lose it instantly on different raids.. you are probably doing something wrong.

[long spear]

theres no wrong way to play as long as you are having fun

honestly

[bold kernel]

So for the gun I'm not really too picky. I've been almost exclusively using the AK74 and all it's variants and I think they're really fun to use. So any AK works for me honestly.
As for budget I'm not really too sure. I have about 3 million rubles in my stash but have a ton of gear and guns worth a fair bit. I'm not too sure what the average setup costs but whatever you'd call average works for me, again not very picky.
I'd like some recoil control since I like full auto on the Ak's. And I mostly run Customs and Interchange so I'd be using the guns for close to medium range combat. Looks don't really matter to me @upbeat flax

[long spear]

if its within tos that is xD

[upbeat flax]

don't see how it's fun to do a raid where all you do is run and hide, goblin loot and sell shit

[long spear]

i never said anything about a raid like that, i would agree there

i dont like hatchlings either

[upbeat flax]

that's mostly what people with "routes" do

[pseudo mural]

It's not fun, but it's needed if your a new player

[long spear]

i mean everyone has "routes"

if you really wanna get technical

[royal vale]

fully modded m4 just next level of orgasm

[long spear]

theres always a better route when presented with options

it just comes with experience

[upbeat flax]

fully modded m4s are usually ugly af

[pseudo mural]

Or you can just stop judging people on the way they play a fictional survival game, that too.

But whatever

[upbeat flax]

at least competetive M4s

[acoustic timber]

best way to level up recoil

??

[royal vale]

true, but that recoil tho

[upbeat flax]

100 rounder m4 mags with m995 on shoreline

[long spear]

my m4 looks good i think it costs around 200k

[upbeat flax]

@bold kernel this is my customs build. decent ergo, canted for indoors and the vudu for outdoors.

[pseudo mural]

I just take in a grach normally to shoreline. It's easy to grab a shotgun and head up into spa

[long spear]

i dont like the way that suppressor or whatever it is looks lol

not on that barrel anyway

[bold kernel]

Cool I'll save that screenshot and try to replicate it, thank you very much!

[upbeat flax]

i can send you the shopping list if you want.

nah man

i got you

just give me a minute.

[bold kernel]

That'd be useful haha

Take your time

[steady pilot]

My customs rifle

[bold kernel]

bruh

[acoustic timber]

bs ammo good

even tho it has +10 recoil

[upbeat flax]

i queued for factory nighttime but had to do something irl

[acoustic timber]

i mean i did say it was good

[upbeat flax]

shot my legs out

and then ran to extract

PogChamp, thank you so much man!

[steady pilot]

There is no real need for a pt3

When regular stock and buttpad

Is efficient

[lapis mauve]

pt1 is nice, half the price and almost the same stats

[steady pilot]

[upbeat flax]

remember i go after looks

it looks alright for that build

[steady pilot]

Ehhhhhhhhh

[upbeat flax]

anyway, budget build requests are open againn? just @ me if you need a kit / gun suggestion

[steady pilot]

I mean i got aesthetic builds too

[upbeat flax]

pog juncker emote

[steady pilot]

aesthetic

[bold kernel]

@upbeat flax at what durability should i buy my armor

[shell brook]

depends on the maximum and the cost

[upbeat flax]

i do not buy armor

wrong person to ask.

[strange mural]

30+

[long spear]

depends on material

[upbeat flax]

but when i do. i usually go full dura

again, depending on material

[shell brook]

as long as it's efficient and enough to stop multiple bullets

titan is better than ceramic

[upbeat flax]

Killa armor and TacTec repair fucking great

[long spear]

different materials have different hidden durabilities according to nfam

[bold kernel]

should always get full durability...

[steady pilot]

@bold kernel buy tactecs at ??/40-50 durability and repair it

[bold kernel]

killa armour is most effecient to repair

[steady pilot]

Around 60-80k, 100k with repair

Tactec is like 1% loss on durability

[upbeat flax]

when sherpa comes in with his 50 mil wallet and tells beginners to buy full dura armor

[long spear]

a 20 durability ceramic can t ake less punishment than a 20 durability aramic

[bold kernel]

if you have a class 6 two mechanic repairs should be all you do before sellin it

[upbeat flax]

let's focus on a better question

[bold kernel]

i've never even seen class 6 armor

[steady pilot]

Who repairs with mechanic

What in the world

[upbeat flax]

who the fuck repairs with mechanic

[hearty sky]

What time the night falls in the game?

[royal vale]

anyone got screenshot of fully modded m4 with silencer that has really low recoil please ;|

[shell brook]

i do the best with scavs on interchange

nobody there ever too big

[steady pilot]

I've played since .8 and mechanic has never been worth it lol. Killa and tactec repair with prapor for barely no loss and cost

[upbeat flax]

@royal vale just got into a scav raid.

i can send you a pic tho

[royal vale]

@upbeat flax i'll wait 😐

[bold kernel]

tactec and killa pretty accessible thx to reshala and killa giving access.... I run player scavs after em

[upbeat flax]

no

@royal vale https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/521626362251837451/656599961529745419/unknown.png

those tactec trades are ass now

just slap that build on an M4 and you'll be good

[royal vale]

killa fucking insane, we were casually walking with friend in one of the shop and heard weird noise, and he just one tapped both of us

[upbeat flax]

as a scav today i saw killa wipe a 5 man

[bold kernel]

daylight starts after 5:30~ so opposite timezone likely goes dark

[upbeat flax]

dude is not messing around

[bold kernel]

I shot killa in leg with pm until he died in adik once

[waxen forge]

That was a dick move in adkik

[steady pilot]

How real men run m4

[upbeat flax]

how people with no taste run m4

[bold kernel]

[upbeat flax]

@royal vale again. in scav raid. you'll have to wait otherwise.

[steady pilot]

Uncultured swine

[upbeat flax]

[royal vale]

I've actually never seen anyone run p90

[upbeat flax]

i have

it went horribly for them

[steady pilot]

Mmmm

[upbeat flax]

[steady pilot]

[shell brook]

stargate

i looked it up

[waxen forge]

Gotta keep it alive

[shell brook]

but that's because it looks futuristic

lots of future guns are based on it

[royal vale]

looks nice

[steady pilot]

Cause I actually have taste

[bold kernel]

why flex

[steady pilot]

That's last wipe

Flex

The beginners gave up

RIP beginners 2k19, didnt even make it to 2020

[zealous knot]

i keep getting camped and killed at the bunker river crossing at the top of shoreline. is that a thing that people do?

im just trying to cross with all my scav loot and twice theres been a guy in a bush....sucks

[steady pilot]

It's a commonly traversed area

Too predictable on pathing

[zealous knot]

is there a safe way to cross up there? or i have to go closer to resort?

[steady pilot]

You can cross behind it

Theres a path next to traash

Or outside of fence on rocks

[zealous knot]

ok ill try in offline thanks

[royal vale]

which suppressors i can use on m4?

[upbeat flax]

Wave QD muzzle break + supressor

[royal vale]

or which one is the best

[upbeat flax]

KAC compensator + NT-4

Rotor43 5.56

[steady pilot]

Kac and wave

Best options

[waxen forge]

I've been running the AAC blackout

[steady pilot]

Not worth lol

But you got money

[waxen forge]

Yea

[spice hedge]

what do i do with dog tags

[waxen forge]

Just goofin

Give to dog

did anyone see it?

[upbeat flax]

any cheap ways to get more storage in stash i have ammo case so far

[royal vale]

mk3 rig

[steady pilot]

Hes too late anyway

Nobody scrolls up

[long spear]

i mean if a newbie is asking about gun loadouts i dont see how thats offtopic lol

[steady pilot]

Yeah he not the sharpest tool in the shed

[vernal anchor]

You just cant embed in non screenshot channels

[spice hedge]

is there a way to get more slots to sell on flea market

[waxen forge]

Sell a crap ton of stuff
