stone surge
#

and buy 6b3tm instead which cost about 17k more

#

and then you have a tactical rig + tier 4 body armor combined

#

as blackrock doesn't give any protection, so you would need to buy armor seperately which would be costly.

#

so 6b3tm + bigger backpack if you so desire to have more space.

rocky ocean
#

thanks!!

#

i will use it as a storage for now maybe use it when if i ever will be ready to go for labs πŸ˜„

#

for now i have a 6b13 + triton

open basin
#

what task

rocky ocean
#

delivery from the past

faint violet
stone surge
#

@rocky ocean Why not 6b3tm

#

your triton+tier3 is more expensive and way (a lot) worse than 6b3tm

open basin
#

what ammo are you using

rocky ocean
#

i have them from the last raid

#

ammo is m995

stone surge
#

that armor will not protect you though

#

it's basically dead armor.

rocky ocean
#

lvl4 armor

stone surge
#

yes but it's ceramic

#

and it's broken

solar steppe
#

I’m having so much trouble on this game lol

stone surge
#

your durability is 26/26 which is effectively running with 26/48 armor (so broken armor)

solar thicket
#

anyone mind pming me? i have some questions about graphic card that im not to educated om

stone surge
#

and the lower the durability (compared to max dura) the less bullets it holds

#

so worse bulletrs go through

#

and ceramic is one of the worst materials

next vessel
#

I am planning on using MP5K-N. What you think and what ammo type should I use? I am running factory map mostly

stone surge
#

resulting in breaking fast

#

so it'll hold 1 bullet max and it'll be 0 dura

rich cloak
#

@solar thicket what do you need?

solar thicket
#

can i pm ypu?

rich cloak
#

@next vessel allways ap

#

@solar thicket ye

next vessel
#

ap?

rocky ocean
#

how do i know the max durability?

next vessel
#

armor pen?

stone surge
#

ap 6.3

rich cloak
#

Ap 6.3

#

Everything else will be useless

stone surge
#

it's the only somewaht decent ammo for 9x19

open basin
#

^

next vessel
#

oh shit that costs alot

open basin
#

it's not even that good either

next vessel
#

not for my pocket

#

πŸ˜„

stone surge
#

then run something else really

#

9x19 is already pretty shit (atm)

next vessel
#

okay gotcha

stone surge
#

it needs buffs

#

they buffed Assault Rifle bullets a while ago

#

and as result also buffed armor

#

but they never touched 9x19

#

so 9x19 is in a worse state than before those changes

#

as it has an even worse time to get through armor

rocky ocean
#

@stone surge for how much durability should i look out or only full? 40/40

stone surge
#

for all armors honestly

open basin
#

what level is ur ragman at

stone surge
#

never go below 10 of the max dura

#

so 70/70 armor I honestly sell it if it goes below 60

grand elm
#

^ dumb

stone surge
#

and ultrahighweight polyethene (material)

open basin
#

cuz lvl 2 ragman sells 6B3TM for 47k

grand elm
#

waste of money

stone surge
#

that trooper/tactec has

#

goes a long time

#

as it repairs good

solar steppe
#

I need some help getting better at combat cuz I can’t win a lot of pvp gunfights

stone surge
#

@grand elm How so?

rocky ocean
#

but how do i know the max durability?

stone surge
#

do you rather walka round with broken armor?

grand elm
#

Paid 200,000 for max dura armor, use it for one raid, sell it missing 10 points and lose 70k?

stone surge
#

max dura you can check @ traders or flea

grand elm
#

lol how isnt that dumb?

stone surge
#

@grand elm What

open basin
#

what

grand elm
#

Not sure whats confusing lol

stone surge
#

nearly all armors repair multiple times

grand elm
#

Ill repair to 45 or so and after that, if it drops down then sell it off.

stone surge
#

unless you go ceramic

open basin
#

he said dont buy armor if it's missing 10 or more durability

stone surge
#

ok but you get that you walk around with broken armor right?

#

let's take gen4 as example

grand elm
#

No, he said he sells it if its below 60

stone surge
#

gen4 = 68 max durability

grand elm
#

Unless I cant read English

stone surge
#

if you walk around with 50/50 gen4

open basin
#

oh wait

#

wtf

stone surge
#

you walka round with 50/68 armor

#

so broken

#

which means

grand elm
#

And?

stone surge
#

bullets go through it faster

open basin
#

why would you sell it if it goes below 10 wtf

grand elm
#

Lol...

open basin
#

thats dumb

grand elm
#

50/50 isnt going to stop rounds?

stone surge
#

even worse pen bullets (that dont pen tier 5 that well)

#

no

grand elm
#

You make zero sense lol

open basin
#

i sell it when it gets arount to half

grand elm
#

And youre giving new guys terrible information

stone surge
#

50/50 is WORSE at holding bullets

#

than 68/68

grand elm
#

How?

stone surge
#

because that's how this game works

grand elm
#

Its still Gen 4, Gen 5, whatever.

stone surge
#

50/50

#

is actually 50/68

#

No

#

it doesn't work like that

#

let's say

grand elm
#

Um no.. It just means it can only sustain 50 points of damage.... LOL

stone surge
#

you have gen4

#

that is 20 durability

#

even shit bullets

#

have a good time getting rhough

chilly pendant
#

armors degrade as you take shots an repair them

stone surge
#

how well bullets penetrate armor

#

is valued against FULL armor

#

the moment armor degrades (as dura decreases)

chilly pendant
#

an armor that starts at 60\60 but now read 50/50 means its been used and abused

stone surge
#

even worse bullets go through

grand elm
#

No kidding. But your 7.62 PS rounds arent going to pen my 50/50 gen 4

#

LOL

stone surge
#

they do?

#

PS will pen it easier

#

the moment that goesl owe

grand elm
#

Lol ok.

stone surge
#

and if you disagree

#

you just disagree with how the game works

chilly pendant
#

they can theres a possibility

#

everything has a percentage chance

grand elm
#

Would love to see how much money you lose on selling your 10 point reduction armor after one raid

grand elm
#

Idk, my stash value is at 100,000,000 so maybe im doing something wrong.

real trellis
#

Is that correct then^?

stone surge
#

how is your stash value even relevant for this discussion

grand elm
#

Im aware how ballistics works. But youre saying its trash at 50/68.

chilly pendant
#

yeah for the most part

grand elm
#

Incorrect

stone surge
#

What

#

i'm saying 50/68

#

is WORSE at holding bullets than 68/68

chilly pendant
#

ps vs gen 4= trasah

grand elm
#

Kinda is relevant seeing as it clearly means I make it out of raids alive and I use armor til its under 40 points lol

chilly pendant
#

bp vs gen 4= now were talking

grand elm
#

BP vs anything

#

7.62 bp that is

stone surge
#

@grand elm let's take a look at some statistics and theorycrafting

grand elm
#

5.45 bp is garbage

stone surge
#

done with PS bullets and gen4 durability

#

sec

chilly pendant
#

6b23 in my opinion most decent armor for the price

grand elm
#

Lol I dont need a lesson in ballistics, as I stated. Im just saying your reasoning is bogus and youre losing your ass every time you sell your armor, but ok

rocky ocean
#

6B3TM-01M armored rig / max dura 40?

grand elm
#

I dont wear armor vests anyways.

#

Only one I wear is Zhuk 6-a. Other than that I wear ARS

#

or nothing

#

So GL penning my -10 zhuk with your 5.45 BP

chilly pendant
#

honestly the calliber and armor debate will roll forever

stone surge
#

zhuk is ceramic which holds less bullets

#

than other materials

#

but you prob disagree with that aswell

grand elm
#

Again, totally ignoring my point

chilly pendant
#

zhuk is good

stone surge
#

never said zhuk is bad

chilly pendant
#

just expensive

stone surge
#

and 1 time use

grand elm
#

You're picking apart everything im saying instead of responding to my initial comment about your statement

stone surge
#

as it's pretty garbo after being repaired by prapor

grand elm
#

I dont repair with prapor

#

lol

chilly pendant
#

mechanic does really good but costs more

grand elm
#

Scared money dont make money ya know

stone surge
#

this is post .12 but same idea applies

fallow dove
#

Tarkov is the slowest loading shit Ive ever experienced in my entire life.

rocky ocean
#

i will just leave it there

stone surge
#

left is gen4 durability

fallow dove
#

god damn

stone surge
#

on the right is 5.45 PS ammo

rocky ocean
#

thanks for all advices!!!

fallow dove
#

you better have a friend group cuz youll kill yourself

rocky ocean
#

good nights everyone

grand elm
#

Night goki

stone surge
#

so 27% gen4 durability and PS has 3% chance to pen it

#

the moment the gen4 has 10% dura

#

PS gains 93% chance to pen it

grand elm
#

Not even sure what kind of trash chart im supposed to be reading.

#

Ya.... 27%

grand elm
#

Lol, youre talking about selling your armor when its at 85%

#

Like..

#

Again, youre giving out shit information to guys that cant afford to gamble

stone surge
#

but you don't even lose that much money?

grand elm
#

Lol really?

stone surge
#

let's say you have a gen4

#

full durability

#

costs about 220k

#

it breaks, you repair it it's ~62/62

open basin
#

thats a lot smiteS

stone surge
#

you can use it again

#

it then breaks again

#

you repair it

rich cloak
#

@open basin it's meta pvp armor

stone surge
#

you then sell it for 150k

#

which is effectively a loss of 70k

open basin
#

oh i know smiteS

grand elm
#

But for the 15th time, you said you sell it at 60....

stone surge
#

for using it 2 times

rich cloak
#

Having armor on your arms is kinda great

chilly pendant
#

that it is my friend

open basin
#

yeah i want some of that

grand elm
#

Ya, and idk how much money you have, but I assume 95% of the people reading your advice in this channel dont have 70k to give up over some nonsense theory

open basin
#

what map do the meta people play

stone surge
#

you prob think you discard or idk what ur doing with ur armor

grand elm
#

customs all day

stone surge
#

but gen4 at ~60 durability

#

sells for about 200k

chilly pendant
#

labs

stone surge
#

abnd you can buy a fresh one for ~220-240

#

so what's the "big loss" here

rich cloak
#

@open basin everything really

open basin
#

i've seen one meta guy at customs

stone surge
#

@grand elm whatever dude, i'm just talking facts you just talk what you think.

open basin
#

too bad he lost to my hunter

rich cloak
stone surge
#

nah im done with that guy

grand elm
#

No, youre talking your opinion, and like I said, these people in here cant afford your opinion so your advice is going to be damaging to theme

stone surge
#

he's just here bragging on how rich he is

rich cloak
#

Cool now clear this channel

grand elm
#

Lol well GL to anyone who takes a 50-70k hit on once used armor. Whos playin?

stone surge
#

@open basin that's what makes hunter so great

#

πŸ˜›

rich cloak
#

*makes hunter stupid

stone surge
#

or that

#

ppl said they're gonna nerf the hunter

grand elm
#

hunter is the best gun in the game lol

stone surge
#

but idk what they would need to nerf on it

#

the recoil is already pretty bad

grand elm
#

theyre getting rid of AP ammo

rich cloak
#

Like I had a raid today with a fresh tactec a nice M1A and all that kinda jazz

stone surge
#

it just uses m80

rich cloak
#

Got 2 tapped by a naked guy with a hunter

#

Fun

grand elm
#

Yep.

stone surge
#

maybe make hunter more expensive, but idk

grand elm
#

They're nerfing it by removing AP ammo........

rich cloak
#

Reduce spawns for x54 weapons

#

@grand elm what do you mean by that?

grand elm
#

From what Ive been told, only m80

rich cloak
#

Like just straight up remove m80?

grand elm
#

No... Lol

rich cloak
#

That would completely destroy the m700

grand elm
#

somehow only able to use m80 in hunter

rich cloak
#

That

stone surge
#

How does that even nerf the hunter

grand elm
#

But idk how possible that is. But that is THE nerf I heard

rich cloak
#

Doesn't really help

stone surge
#

that doesnt help

#

people arleady use m80 in the hunter

#

thats what kills people

#

Lol

grand elm
#

Because it makes it realistic.

stone surge
#

but it doesn't nerf the hunter

grand elm
#

Lol ok

stone surge
#

because people dont use anything other than m80 anyways

rich cloak
#

Problem with hunter is that it's stupid good for like 45k

grand elm
#

Doesnt matter what more people use dude.

#

People still use m61

#

Like

#

LOL

rich cloak
#

But why tho

stone surge
#

Why/

grand elm
#

Im just telling you what I heard.

rich cloak
#

It's like using snb

tidal heart
#

because logic

rich cloak
#

It's stupid and a check if you understand how the game works

grand elm
#

Cant write you a thesis on it. Civilian guns dont come with AP ammo, so they may remove the use of anything but m80 in the hunter.

tidal heart
#

im just talking mess i dont know what is going on at all

#

i like to use my sv πŸ™‚

#

because im cutesy

rich cloak
#

Join the svd gang @tidal heart

tidal heart
#

ill consider it, i found a labs keycard earlier and almost sold it

#

someone said keep it until i get better

rich cloak
#

I wouldn't

tidal heart
#

why not?

rich cloak
#

I'd you want it later you can buy it later

dry crow
#

Could use the money now

rich cloak
#

Prices aren't gonna fluctuate that hard I think

tidal heart
#

whats in labs anyway?

dry crow
#

I've gotten 3 lab keycards this week playing as a scav

rich cloak
#

Its a map

grand elm
#

$$$$$

dry crow
#

Just sell it you'll it more

rich cloak
#

With a lot of money

stone surge
#

just sell the lab cards till you actually wanna learn it

grand elm
#

Sell it, agreed.

dry crow
#

Rare loot spawns and what not

tidal heart
#

i wanna go in labs

#

and go kill some streamers

dry crow
#

And raiders spawn there, but people go in geared

grand elm
#

How much money do you have?

rich cloak
#

We found something you guys agreed on

grand elm
#

And hackers as well...

dry crow
#

Can always go in labs in offline mode

tidal heart
#

im level 4 but i got like about 4mil

grand elm
#

Not enough to waste on risky labs IMO

dry crow
#

Check out the map in offline mode though if ya want

grand elm
#

Unless youre on a dead server and going in with a pistol and bag

stone surge
#

the thing with labs is that you rather want some spare mills just to learn it

tidal heart
#

oh ima slide in that piece with a shotgun

stone surge
#

as 1 or 2 labs is not gonna make you understand it

grand elm
#

Good luck with that haha

stone surge
#

The extracs can be tricky at first in labs as they spawn raiders and you need to know where to activate them & locate the elevator

tidal heart
#

i like close quarters

stone surge
#

all that with raiders & players everywhere

#

and you need to trick raiders with doors/corners as a head on 1-1 vs a group of raiders

#

is gonna end up in dying or losing a lot of armor

grand elm
#

Yes, but what happens when you need to shoot across the building?

tidal heart
#

pistol duh

#

lol

grand elm
#

Close quarters with ap-20 is cool, but unless you hit them in the face first shot their SP6 or above is going to shred your ass

#

Lol trooooolll

stone surge
#

or flachettes cqb

open basin
#

im tired of this dumbass untar armor and helmet

tidal heart
#

i use slugs for long range

real trellis
#

Big brain play right there

tidal heart
#

and i load my shot gun by bullet

#

i do slug, pellet, slug, slug, pellet pellet

grim night
#

as Scav on customs i need to get to Warehouse 4 to extract is there a special key or some shit i need to get to that exit?

fathom narwhal
#

no

#

u just need to wait at the entrance

grim night
#

Yeah and where is that located? Every map i look at shows me where it is. And there is no possible way it get to it ..

fathom narwhal
#

are you looking at the custom map from the wiki

stone surge
#

at red circle

#

u need to stand

fathom narwhal
#

^

reef spoke
#

!Sherpa
@sterile sable

#

welpt that' didn't work lol

jovial summit
#

@grim night you need to go through Old Gas station, enter the area through repair shop/container building and circle back

reef spoke
#

But yeah dude, if you'd like to raid sometime just file a sherpa app requesting me sometime.

split vapor
#

Only do the command for it to work

rich cloak
#

Can one request a sherpa for sniping specifically? otzGreat

jovial summit
#

Anyone up for a quick Checking run on Customs? New to the game and would appreciate some company!

stone surge
#

EU or NA?

jovial summit
#

NA

split vapor
#

Eh kinda. You can just put their name in the little comment section

stone surge
#

ah i'm EU so that's not gonna be a great experience.

jovial summit
#

No worries, thanks though!

stone surge
#

maybe there's people in #pvp-lfg that wanna teamup with ya

jovial summit
#

I'll try that

warm rover
#

Whats the best map of shoreline ?

rich cloak
#

The ones on the wiki

#

Use whichever one you are most comfortable with

open basin
rich cloak
#

I'm personally not a fan of the maps with all the item spawns

open basin
#

i like this one cuz it has scav spawns on it

#

well scav areas

rich cloak
#

Yeah thats helpfull

long spear
#

they are always inaccurate on the item spawns too, leaving a lot out

warm rover
#

That one is quite clustery ...

long spear
#

theres one nicer on the eyes that still shows scav spawns on the wiki

warm rover
#

I use this one more it's easier tho

stone surge
#

if you look at the one that shows loot

#

it shows as if village is more packed with loot than resort

#

resort has almost nothing on that map xd.

#

it would be a clusterfuck of dots though

solid gulch
#

a pistol without a rearsight literally means you will not hit anything ever

split vapor
#

Anything without sights

solid gulch
#

i accdientally went into a raid with a pistol without rearsights

warm rover
rich cloak
#

Yes

#

You'll need a compact mount and most likely a bastion dustcover

#

But don't quote me on that

warm rover
#

ah I see, Is it better to stay on the tactica tula or the bastion ?

rich cloak
#

I don't think you can use the tt for mounts

#

Can you?

warm rover
#

oh nevermind It can't stay on the tt

rich cloak
#

Yeah

warm rover
#

ufff it's a big scope, can I change the zoom on it ?

rich cloak
#

Nope

#

It's not great

#

If you want a nice battelscope I recommend the Monstrum compact prism sight

#

It's about 30k but really good

split vapor
#

The tac Tula is stupid money as it’s loot only

pseudo mural
#

i run the monstrum

#

on my sks/mosin/ak74m/n

split vapor
#

Prism is trash

pseudo mural
#

it's great

rich cloak
#

Monstrum is Bae

split vapor
#

Mon is okay

rich cloak
#

Sks isn't pepeLaugh

pseudo mural
#

eh, 71 vert recoil in 7.,62

rich cloak
#

Prism is all types of awkward

pseudo mural
#

for cheap

rich cloak
#

Veprkm tho

mint hawk
#

@rich cloak i highly dislike that massive red markings

raw jacinth
#

BP is the 7.62 i should use right?

mint hawk
#

its the best one ye

raw jacinth
#

k, thanks

mint hawk
#

although any 7.62 will get the job done.. i just dont like the massive amount of recoil

dawn siren
#

so my pmc inventory is almost empty

#

what would happen if i i lose everything

mint hawk
#

same as any other time

long spear
#

one of two things

#
  1. your computer explodes
mint hawk
#

but prapor might lend you a hand

long spear
#
  1. you have to either run with a melee weapon or as a scav to get more stuff
dawn siren
#

that sounds so aids

mint hawk
#

but yes. you might have to rely on your scav

dawn siren
#

that sounds like a rabbit hole that cannot be left

long spear
#

not really

dawn siren
#

true i could, he just has like no inventory space to take stuff

mint hawk
#

nah making money on EFT has never been easier

long spear
#

you will keep learning more and more even on scav runs, until you can consistently make profit because you have enough game knowledge

#

you more you learn, the more you earn

dawn siren
#

i have to keep a postiive mindset

long spear
#

you can find backpacks or bigger vests

dawn siren
#

i also need a friend to play

long spear
#

when playing as scav

dawn siren
#

true, that would help a,ot

#

a;pt

mint hawk
#

just try avoid the high traffic areas..

dawn siren
#

alot*

mint hawk
#

personally i mostly run solo runs

dawn siren
#

i stay away from boom booms

long spear
#

on that note, you will only find them on bodies however

#

dont expect to find vests or backpacks just sitting around the map if its not on a body

dawn siren
#

it would be a pmc to right

#

scavs dont have bags

long spear
#

they can

#

not huge backpacks, but sometimes decent size ones

dawn siren
#

oh, ok well i mean i try not to shoot scavs as a scav. it would make my life to hard lol

frosty spindle
#

downloading escape from tarkov for 1st time

mint hawk
#

scavs can have any backpack from a t-bag to a pilgrim

long spear
#

i think pilgrim is super rare

#

i dont even remember seeing one

#

its kinda hazy

mint hawk
#

ive seen so many xD

open basin
#

i've spawned as a scav with a pilgrim before

long spear
#

it cant be very common if i dont remember it ; )

mortal hull
#

i legit just spawned in as a scav with it

#

and died on factory right away

#

was it worth anything?

long spear
#

a pilgrim backpack?

#

i think between 30-60k not really that much

oak flare
#

why is Paracord so valued?

mint hawk
#

around 40k for pilgri

#

@oak flare can be bartered aling with other items for the Red rebel ice pick

#

also used alongside the RR to extract easier on certain maps

oak flare
#

TY

mint hawk
#

the RR is also a rear spawn on Shturman.. the woods boss

#

its currently going for about 2.6 mil on the market

open basin
#

wait

#

the red rebel has a durability ?

oak flare
#

found the white handguard for the AK. nice looking first one I have seen.

amber saffron
#

who do I sell my stuff that I’m not going to use for the best value? it’s Therapist>Skier>Mechanic>Prapor>Fence right?

mortal hull
#

depeneds on teh item

#

each will buy diff kinds of itmes for diff pprices

amber saffron
#

I see

open basin
#

sell to market first smiteS

amber saffron
#

all my traders are level 1

#

need to level them up

open basin
#

market still smiteS

#

use the money you get from flea to buy stuff from them smiteS

amber saffron
#

hmm I guess I can do that

#

but curiosity sake anyway

#

any guide or something for who I should sell stuff to?

open basin
#

uh no idea

#

i just usually sell it to whoever buys it for the most money

amber saffron
#

I see

open basin
#

and ill sell stuff to the people if i need to up my spending

#

i suggest disassembling guns and selling the parts to skier

#

and whatever parts skier doesnt take

mint hawk
#

@open basin not on mine

open basin
#

sell to mechanic

long spear
#

@amber saffron basically anything you cant equip therapist buys for the most, flea market aside

amber saffron
#

thanks

mint hawk
#

skier does attachments
Prapor and mechanic do guns
peacekeeper is most things
ragman is clothes
therapist is food and misc items
Jaeger is just a wierdo. avoid him

stone surge
#

hey what about my boy fence

#

he has the best prices

mint hawk
#

hes useless

stone surge
#

if you think people on flea scam you

long spear
#

fence is a weirdo, jaeger is a loser**

mint hawk

golden geyser

So.. I shot my SKS, 8 bullets hit, did 235 dmg to his armor and only 190 health damage when I was using PS rounds, what kind of armor even does that?

brisk mortar
#

Anything above class 4, honestly.

golden geyser
#

Ah okay

brisk mortar
#

Might've been Redut or Gen 4, those are pretty common and tough armors.

bold kernel
#

Hey im lvl 20 and really bad can someone teach me how to actually play

golden geyser
#

Nah he didn't looked armored at all

brisk mortar
#

Well you said you did armor damage, so he had to be wearing something.

golden geyser
#

Yeah, but nothing fancy

open basin
#

how do you know it wasnt fancy? smiteS

golden geyser
#

cuz he looked real skinny

#

you know, when you see a beefy boy, you know he's beefy

brisk mortar
#

Thicc =/ armored

open basin
#

tactec is class 5 but you dont look beefy at all

golden geyser
#

he didn't even have a helmet with a face mask

brisk mortar
#

Some people don't like helmets at all.

golden geyser
#

who brings Gen4 or Tactec w/o a helmet w/ face visor

open basin
#

most people dont

brisk mortar
#

Like, the best Tarkov marksman I know only wears a boonie. Never wears a helmet.

Unless he's meming.

pk-06 scope

raw jacinth

what cheap handguards can i use for the m4 with picatinny rails?

brisk mortar
#

The stock one is decent

raw jacinth
#

i converted an adar

steady pilot
#

KAC

#

or LVOA

#

not too pricey, get the job done

raw jacinth
#

bet

#

KAC doesnt work because i have adar barrel but lvoa does

steady pilot
#

you could just by the better 370mm barrel

#

since 406mm and 270mm are garbage

warm rover
#

doesn't let me move stuf from insurance

zealous knot
#

why do people run balm over ibuprofen. seems like the longer cast time to remove intoxication and add 5 hydration isnt worth?

raw jacinth
#

what is good cheap(ish) 5.56 ammo

open basin
#

your only real option is m855a1 and m955

steady pilot
#

its m855a1 or m995 or bust

#

you can have cheap guns, dont run cheap ammo.

#

you being cheap = your death = you losing more in kit than losing in bullets

solid gulch
#

i have died 17 times since 12/21

raw jacinth
#

i have normal m855

steady pilot
#

bad

open basin
#

sell it and run something else if you cant afford m855a1

#

i die a lot too

solid gulch
#

really you could fill the top half with m855a1 and be okay

#

odds are if you're bad you're going to die before you finish that mag anyway

open basin
#

but thats cuz i do hatchling runs to do dorms quest

raw jacinth
#

ok, thanks

solid gulch
#

i was trying to do the unarmored jaeger quest

steady pilot
#

jsut run a veprkm with ps ammo

solid gulch
#

i hate woods so much

steady pilot
#

its way cheaper and better

#

than not rocking m855a1

raw jacinth
#

i just bought m855a1

#

expensive but hopefully worth

steady pilot
#

not expensive when it saves your life or gets you kills

#

the ends justify the means

raw jacinth
#

expensive if i die (which i will, because im bad) but its fine

steady pilot
#

run cheaper kit

pseudo mural
#

im tellin ya, that AK-74u kit for low recoil is fairly cheap, like 50k-60k for <70 recoil + decent ergo

#

you can also run a mosin inf with iron sights, it drops people pretty easily with even low ammo

steady pilot
#

not reeally budget considering veprkm, sks, and hunter, ak103/74m, all having easy to control stats with basic moding under 50k.

open basin
#

the only mod you need for hunter is a sight πŸ˜„

@solid gulch blue gunpowder? And at night time?

for me sks and mosan

@cloud mortar there are like

8 guns that are fully automatic that can do that

I don't see how you're surprised

actually if you count variants there are like, 20 guns

@weary badge Vepr KM, SKS, ADAR (Bought only), AK-74

Mosin and shotguns as well

you can leave it there until you are prepared to send it

you want PS ammo

Thanks

dull cave

yup

weary badge
#

I can't seem to find the 10 round mag for the sks at any of the dealers, am I missing something or are there other magazines that are compatible?

dull cave
#

the 10 round mag is internal

#

meaning when you load it in game, you pull back the bolt and put bullets in the top

#

like how a mosin loads

#

you could pick up some 20 round magazines

weary badge
#

Got it

#

Makes sense

#

Thx

dull cave
#

peacekeeper 2

#

for 20 round mags

#

alternatively you can get em off the flea market

any good and cheap sights compatible with bastion dust cover?

#

so far i've been using the belomo pk-06

dull cave
#

right click dust cover

#

linked search

#

look at sights

meager girder
#

is there a general rule of thumb when i should spec for recoil vs ergo?

bold kernel
#

yeah but i'm looking for recommendation

open basin
#

what do you consider cheap

dull cave
#

@meager girder go for recoil

bold kernel
#

@meager girder ergo less stamina drain whilst adsing

#

and faster ads

#

recoil - less recoil

#

@open basin under 18k?

dull cave
#

you shouldnt really go for ergo

#

but you can chose ergo over recoil in some parts

#

like going for a grip that gives -3% recoil instead of 5% but gaining 8 more ergo

meager girder
#

whats the minimum ergo i should have on my weapons before i lose fights due to adsing?

bold kernel
#

uh

#

just don't ads

#

😎

dull cave
#

ergo doesnt really matter

meager girder
#

dont ads?

dull cave
#

after 50 its negligable

#

@meager girder point firing works well

bold kernel
#

in cqc

#

adsing is not needed

dull cave
#

as in, point the gun at what you want to die

meager girder
#

ok

bold kernel
#

you only really ADS when you wanna fight mid-range/long

#

but even then hipfire can hit the enemy

meager girder
#

thanks guys that makes sense

weary badge
#

I fucking blow at this game, everytime I get slaughtered surrounding the dorms or gas station chokepoints and 9/10 times I don't even see the enemy

dull cave
#

yes!

#

thats a part of the curve

#

@weary badge you have two paths

#

if you stick solo

#

think about every death

#

what you heard in the minutes leading up

#

where you died

#

how you died

#

things that couldve changed how you died

meager girder
dull cave
#

yes

#

or 2 sl4ppy, find someone good at the game willing to "Sherpa" you

heavy quest
#

@weary badge same for me

dull cave
#

they will be able to artificialyl give you the experience you would gain from dying over and over again

weary badge
#

@dull cave Yeah that's good advice but I don't even know where I was shot from most of the times, which makes it hard to reflect on

#

Yeh I'll get a headset and play with someone I think

dull cave
#

nah

#

if you dont know where you were shot from

#

you were standing in the wrong spot!

#

or you werent aware of what was around you

weary badge
#

True

#

Also is there a reason to use the SKS instead of the AK in semi automatic mode?

dull cave
#

not really

open basin
#

use the vepr km instead

dull cave
#

try the vepr k

#

m

weary badge
#

Hmm

open basin
weary badge
#

Thanks for that. I also so far struggle to comprehend the difference between the different variations of the ak such as the akm, akms, vepr etc

dull cave
#

im gonna try to explain it real quick

#

the vepr's

#

the vepr 209 and 136 both look alike

#

are semi

#

the 209 is shit

#

the 136 is great

bold kernel
#

@weary badge they're all aks

dull cave
#

akm akms etc anything starting with AKM is auto

#

fires 762x39 which is good

#

but kicks a bunch

#

the ak 74's

#

aks74

#

aks74u,n,m etc

#

are 5.45x39 aks

dry crow
#

Ak74n is good

dull cave
#

kick less, have better ammo available, and are more moddable

weary badge
#

I see, that clears it up!

#

And the vepr's use 762x39 right?

dull cave
#

sorta

#

the 209 fires a cartridge the same size as 762x39

#

however it fires a .366 cartridge

#

this is because its technically a shotgun round

open basin
#

the ones with S in the name have a non removeable stock smiteS

dull cave
#

its basically like how there are "ar15 pistols" in the us

bold kernel
#

209 is a smooth bore shotgun that looks like an AK platform.

dull cave
#

its a workaround on russian gun laws

weary badge
#

Yeah I heard of that

dull cave
#

looks like an ak, but is a "shotgun"

#

its ammo is a lot worse at penetrating armor

weary badge
#

So because of the smooth bore it has big disadvantages I asume

grand crow
#

Does anybody know why the stuff I picked up on my scav isn’t appearing in the post raid screen?

dull cave
#

bug

#

very sad

#

try transfering stuff

open basin
#

jesus 5.45 bs is so expensive

bold kernel
#

It's because in Russia, you can only have a shotgun or non-lethal firearm for. 4-5 years I believe until you can purchase a rifle.

dull cave
#

then swapping between stats and stuff back and forth

#

might give you an error which will give you your shit

grand crow
#

Oh yes that worked thank you!

dull cave
#

awesome

#

it doesnt work for me unfortunately

#

i dont run scav anymore lol

grand crow

I probably do 9 scav runs for every PMC I do

I’m scared

where did i say that?

14 days

2017 7 days

dull cave

"in the previous years"

kinda implies that it no longer happens

because that's a fact

how does it imply

that it won't happen

can u chill?

and stop putting words into my mouth

dull cave

bold kernel
#

although i will say that unlike 2018 bsg did not announce a new years event @livid merlin

#

for 2019

#

so if it doesn't happen after the 28th i'd probably give up on it

weary badge
#

@livid merlin I believe in Russia it's on sale at the moment. At least I saw an add online advertising it at a heavily discounted price.

#

Should have known before I bought it for the full price

livid merlin

oh right right

#

will it have a sale in other countries anytime soon?

#

or just Russia

did you even read what i said

you were talking about the event
