#

@upbeat flax If I'm just trying to not get onetapped by scavs what tier do i run

#

cause thats my only real concern

#

some random scav just sneaking a bullet in

steady pilot

Lvl 3 and cheap 4s

open basin
#

armor doesnt matter cuz scavs will shoot your arms

#

and legs

upbeat flax
#

repair all armors you can

cold parrot
#

they are all full dur already

#

i got mr prapor to repair them for a tidy fee

upbeat flax
#

armored rigs are usually the most profitable because they're not worth picking up, and you pay armor price for an armor and rig

#

the max points on that armor is 40

cold parrot
#

yeah they are armored rigs

#

its at 39/39

upbeat flax
#

oh

#

alright

#

that's worth running

#

anything below 30 at max dura honestly isn't worth it

cold parrot
#

i got them off some pmc just laying in tunnels waiting for extraction, and a makarov headshot

#

alright

#

thank you

upbeat flax
#

which tunnels?

cold parrot
#

shoreline

#

next to wrecked road

#

in the corner of the map

#

@upbeat flax

upbeat flax
#

oh, the extract

#

forgot that's a thing

#

only been playing Reserve and interchonk

cold parrot
#

found out a lot of pmcs dont check to the right when they come from the road

#

they just run in and lay down

#

and boom

upbeat flax
cold parrot
#

makarov strikes again

#

even some fully geared players with m4s and crap do it

#

which concerns me

#

i've been playing for like 2 days dammit

You waited 30mins to pistol fight a pmc?

Good point

Though lazor adars

Oh I've a question. Why is the larger grey fuel tank less expensive than the smaller blue one

open basin

blue one is used to make mag cases

whats the best use for dog tags?

steady pilot
#

War trophies

noble flower
#

if you sell a dogtag on flea. can people inspect and see whoms it is?

#

whos it is

#

hmm

#

so say, would a shroud dogtag be valuable on the market since people are stupid? :P

warm rover
#

Why is shoreline so laggy. ?

silver dome
#

why the fuck is the notficiations so glitched

#

i completed 2 tasks

#

and theres 51

#

wtf?

rose kelp
#

Hey guys , quick question should I buy parts from the flea market just for the sake of finishing the mechanic gunsmith quests ? Or should i just slowly collect parts to profit

idle bluff
#

Buy them

silver dome
#

just buy it off flea

idle bluff
#

You’ll profit nonetheless

silver dome
#

small price difference

rose kelp
#

Ooo

#

Alright thanks

#

At this point I will benifit more by finishing all the quests earlier ?

steady pilot

Remember when we didnt have flea market and had to find everything french kappist

Yes it's a quest item in dorms

Just read the wiki

warm rover

Is it always lagging when I zoom in with a scope or is it just me ?

idle bluff

If you want to shrug off the advice we’re giving you and check every map

#

Have at it

bold kernel
#

Quests are very useful but just do what you enjoy fella

warm rover
#

why is every other map fps ok but shoreline is cracking low and laggy

steady pilot
#

Cause its wheresmyfpsline

#

Snoreline

#

Boreline

idle bluff
#

Because it’s a massive map with a lot of stuff

steady pilot
#

Just super unoptimized

warm rover
#

Fff and I gotta do a quest there :/

steady pilot
#

Or just dontkappist

#

I havent even done any, but then again I dont care I've done them 5x over and you can just get shit off market cause money ain't hard

#

Just not worth the effort tbh

I say this in BA I know, but you'll get to that point too.

I want to do the punisher quest to get to the epsilon container that's all but shoreline is being huge dingle about it

does killa wear adidas and the adidas helmet?

idle bluff
#

Yes.

#

The “adidas helmet” is a Maska-1S helmet painted with Adidas patterns.

upbeat flax
#

i want to joke about the fact that people know that but it's volkov we're talking about here

solid gulch
#

kill is so slav he wears tracksuit on face

warm rover
#

I've been learning shoreline for 2 days now in offline... I am still skeptical going live lol

solid gulch
#

if you go into the resort you will likely die

warm rover
#

I know

open basin
#

shoreline is so dead if you arent at resort

warm rover
#

Just had an offline raid with 28 dead scavs lol

solid gulch
#

that's my other point, if you stay away from dorms and know where the loot is, you probably won't die

crude pollen
#

is there a bullet damage chart

cold parrot
#

@warm rover what gear do you have?

crude pollen
#

thanks

cold parrot
#

anyway grab some makarovs and and a couple mags

#

nothing else

#

literally just makarovs and ammo

#

and go online

warm rover
#

@cold parrot I gotta do the punisher quest with the akm

cold parrot
#

that's t4 armor right?

brisk mortar
#

T3

cold parrot
#

ugh

#

well

warm rover
#

t3

cold parrot
#

t3 isn't very helpful

#

scavs will still just fuck your legs

#

and pmc's will most likely just shoot straight thru the armor

#

because t3, well

brisk mortar
#

100% correct.

open basin
#

most pmcs will shoot through class 4 armor too

brisk mortar
#

Tier 4 armor should be the absolute miminum.

cold parrot
#

unless your opponent is me running .366 ammo

open basin
#

but yeah tier 4 is minimum smiteS

cold parrot
#

then you have a chance

brisk mortar
#

But at least low level GP rounds have a chance to not pen Level 4.

cold parrot
#

hey atleast itll protect him from the pp19 spam with shitty ammo

#

but honestly dont wear t3

#

sell it

open basin
#

id use the 6b3tm

#

well thats what i use almost every run

#

class 4 armored rig

cold parrot
#

i just grab whatever i have in stock from previous raids

#

yeah thats what i usually run too

open basin
#

only about 7k-8k more than the uley

cold parrot
#

buying armor

#

/s

open basin
#

well im not broke

#

so i can afford to buy it lul

warm rover
#

that's 50k wut

cold parrot
#

not too bad

#

but thats why i farm other pmc's and scavs for these

#

the scavs at the power station on shoreline almost always wear t4 armor or rigs

open basin
#

50k is cheap af

#

wym

cold parrot
#

I grab any bag I have and a Makarov and run over there

#

and grab a couple

#

idk but 50k is a decent chunk for new guys

#

including me

open basin
#

i had 5 mill roubles at lvl 14

#

sooo i havent had money problems ever tbh

bold kernel
#

God this Quest on woods to kill 15 scavs is so terrible anyone got tips or tricks

warm rover
#

so basically as a right I am pretty much like saving money at this point I suppose

open basin
#

snipe them?

cold parrot
#

@bold kernel grab cheap semi 762x39

#

throw in some PS rounds

#

lay down hell on anything you see

open basin
#

you dont have to do that quest

warm rover
#

6b3tm has 40 points tho

open basin
#

i still havent done it lmfao

#

it's class 4 still smiteS

neat spruce
#

@rich moss what is giving you trouble? Other PMCs or the SCAVs?

bold kernel
#

Yeah i just lost my VSS and lvl 4 rig

#

Because scavs just hide behind rocks

cold parrot
#

oof

open basin
#

lul

bold kernel
#

Kinda depresso

cold parrot
#

grenades

#

throw over rocks

open basin
#

lemme hit you with some knowledge baybeee

cold parrot
#

yeah

neat spruce
#

@warm rover What is giving you touble on the quest? PMCs or Scavs?

cold parrot
#

use this

bold kernel
#

And that does the job?

cold parrot
#

that gun is awesome

open basin
#

it's just scavs

bold kernel
#

right well ill see about modding that

open basin
#

most of them dont wear armor

neat spruce
#

@bold kernel it does the job very well.

bold kernel
#

This one had the 6B lvl 4 rig on

#

Lucky fucker

cold parrot
#

yeah a few shots center mass dead

#

@bold kernel you can still pen t4 armor

open basin
#

shoot their heads then

bold kernel
#

Ill give that a try

#

Id shoot heads but the gun mechanics are hard to get round

cold parrot
#

yeah headshots are easiest

bold kernel
#

I have trouble even hitting sometimes maybe its just my skills

open basin
neat spruce
#

I like the ADAR at the moment though. I have a nice build that's around 100k that works great.

warm rover
#

@neat spruce I suppose pmc's, scavs are easy

bold kernel
#

or my skill in games

cold parrot
#

@bold kernel run BP ammo in that and it will cut T4 and T5 armor like butter

#

ammo matters a lot

open basin
#

just run the ps

cold parrot
#

like if you run hp you are utterly cucked

#

ps has issues with t4

open basin
#

cuz ima assume that you dont have very much money

#

buddy

#

this is beginners assistance

cold parrot
#

ok fair point

bold kernel
#

yeah

neat spruce
#

@warm rover patience is key. I've had success (currently 11/15 scavs killed over two successful raids) by being stealthy and waiting until the last 20min or so of the raid to start enganging scavs.

open basin
#

ima assume most people here are broke as shit

frigid comet
#

what is the most valuable trader to get to level 2 with? considering the flea market has anything you want

bold kernel
#

Well im still a beginner

cold parrot
#

yeah run PS ammo in that ak he posted

#

that should do

open basin
#

and if ur broke as shit spending ur money on bp

bold kernel
#

Im lvl 15 pmc but theres still a lot to learn

cold parrot
#

hell im lvl 9

open basin
#

then idk what to tell you

bold kernel
#

bruh

cold parrot
#

i still run around with makarovs grabbing cheeky headshots

#

atleast i can aim fairly well

neat spruce
#

Scav runs to build wealth man!

cold parrot
#

ya

thorny raptor
#

shiiiiit i gotchu all beat, im lvl 2

cold parrot
#

also trick to get t4 armor when you are new is to grab a makarov and run shoreline, then go to the power station. There is usually 2-3 scavs there without helmets wearing t4 rigs and armor. just pop their heads and take their crap @bold kernel

warm rover
#

@neat spruce Yeah I've been patient, always am, been running some offline raids to test weapons and my stealth skills lol. But scavs will chase you till you die haha

neat spruce
#

Oh yeah! Woods taught me more than any other map that I need to move after I shoot. I can stay in one spot.

#

Also a silencer helps a lot.

#

*can't

warm rover
#

Yeah, tho silencers are quite expensive

cold parrot
#

tfw cant silence my glorius 7.62x54R rifle

warm rover
#

I prefer a compensator on an akm

neat spruce
#

the ADAR silencer is pretty affordable

cold parrot
#

but meh just shoot and run

neat spruce
#

Hold on a second.

raw jacinth
#

theres no .308 suppressor?

warm rover
cold parrot
#

@raw jacinth maybe, i run a mosin though

#

since its dirt cheap

raw jacinth
#

oh, ok

#

fair

idle bluff
#

@raw jacinth There are. GemTech One silencer

cold parrot
#

20k and why doesnt like 1 shotting t4 and t5

idle bluff
#

Hybrid also works.

raw jacinth
#

i thought so. thanks though

neat spruce
warm rover
#

Ah I love adar, but I am talking about the punisher quest with the akm lol

open basin
#

what do you need a silencer for

neat spruce
#

Scavs on woods tend not to come in waves when I use the silenced version.

raw jacinth
#

it makes the sound dissipate quicker and harder to locate you

thorny raptor
#

are the sherpas actually useful? been playing a lot of offline and my gun mechanics are what's best. Lacking in map knowledge still as well as smooth movement.

neat spruce
#

Also, it's fun to watch PMCs not know where they're getting shot from.

open basin
#

eh

stone surge
#

@thorny raptor Never played with sherpa's but sherpas are veterans, so they know basically everything about the game.

#

and are meant to help you improve.

raw jacinth
#

any one wanna help me try to get a kiba key?

thorny raptor
#

the assistance is free right?

raw jacinth
#

broke boi wants a sopmod

idle bluff
#

@thorny raptor Our purpose is to help you for free.

bold kernel
#

îm retard

stone surge
#

@raw jacinth I wouldn't run interchange just to look for that key

thorny raptor
#

figured as much.

stone surge
#

the dropchance is awfully low.

raw jacinth
#

(i am broke boi)

open basin
#

the hell is a sopmod smiteS

raw jacinth
#

sexy ass m4

idle bluff
#

A way to mod an M4

open basin
#

why are you gonna run an m4 if ur broke

bold kernel
#

Just run interchange and rob the olli side for mad money, Mac

raw jacinth
#

prebuilt and spawns in kiba sometimes

#

i am bad, idk how to do that

open basin
#

sounds like a waste of money and time

stone surge
#

spawns in labs weapon room quite a lot too.

open basin
raw jacinth
#

lab key is 150k, i am broke(ish) boi

stone surge
#

sopmod is basically

#

try to get your m4 to be awful and high cost

#

for the worst stats

raw jacinth
#

yeah, keywords, m4 and high cost

stone surge
#

well m4 and highcost can be meta m4 which is not bad

#

sopmod is though

raw jacinth
#

i can sell it

stone surge
#

the prebuilt one even has a laser in front of the red dot

#

so you can't see jack

raw jacinth
#

and build a better one

stone surge
#

ofc

raw jacinth
#

or just take off lazer

open basin
#

yeah sounds like a waste of time

#

if you do somehow get a kiba key

stone surge
#

but it's not worth "farming" that m4

raw jacinth
#

ikr, but im a broke boi soo.......

open basin
#

you'd probably make more money selling that key than you would farming a shitty m4

stone surge
#

you would make more money just doing regular farm runs

#

than looking for that key

raw jacinth
#

yeah, but........

#

m4 sopmod

#

ik im being unreasonable

#

but.......

#

m4 sopmod

stone surge
#

you seem dedicated

open basin

seem dedicated to being broke

@lapis mauve you like the look of a laser when you aim down sight through red dot?

stone surge
lapis mauve
#

You can move or remove the laser or use a different red dot

raw jacinth
#

i can take the laser off

stone surge
#

Woooah

#

what

raw jacinth
#

or a rizer

stone surge
#

then it's not prebuilt anymore

open basin
#

just do money runs and build your own m4

Why do people use lasers anyway? Gives away your position instantly indoors

@raw jacinth Buy labs keycard, buy weapon room key

im being dumb on purpose

and go for those sopmod farms

that's the fastest way

i cant play labs because ill die and im bad

i can try

bold kernel

I relate very much

cold parrot
#

This is me with factory

bold kernel
#

Anyone got a rough estimate of how much a shoreline keyset would cost me?

stone surge
#

I would say around 1mill

estimate.

#

then u would have most of the ledx rooms I think.

lapis mauve
#

The keys are cheap now

bold kernel
#

That's great, thanks guys

stone surge

basically what I run for shoreline atm

#

there's I believe 1 more room 3XX on west

but i dont run it

That's amazing, thanks a lot man!

Almost 3***

2 months is more accurate

rapid minnow

is it possible to be tagged and cursed in online matches?

idle bluff

You cannot set it yourself

rapid minnow
#

Scavs keep on coming at me in Goshan

#

interchange

stone surge
#

Goshan? I always have that happen to me in Oli

sick halo
#

Feels like it's possible, had a run where I killed 21 Scavs in Customs

stone surge
#

they come in endless waves

#

it's due to the changes they made to scavs

#

they actually help their downed scavs

#

and sense them for some reason

#

from far away

rapid minnow
#

I don't get any time to loot dead scavs because more keep coming

lapis mauve
#

There is a “bug” (not really anymore) where scavs just keep spawning in interchange

stone surge
#

yup i feel ya

#

whenever I go into Oli

#

I always end up ahving to clean up 20 scavs

#

minimum

bold kernel
#

And then you get onetapped by the last bitch ass scav while you're looting

rapid minnow
#

exactly

bold kernel
#

It's a wonderful experience

stone surge
#

never loot till you know it's safe 😉

#

loot doesn't run away

#

aslong as yoou survive

bold kernel
#

pffff the words ''safe'' and ''tarkov'' don't go together

stone surge
#

the moment you discover nades, you can actually safezone stuff

ripe gust
#

after the ammo is taken out of an ammo box is the box worthless?

stone surge
#

I just throw nades w/o care in random directions

#

just to check if there's movement

bold kernel
#

I've started using them a lot recently! They're amazing

stone surge
#

F-1 especially

#

are deadly af

bold kernel
#

But I'm still garbage so GWjiangoPepeFedora

stone surge
#

I always end up getting pmc kills unexpectedly with nades.

#

then I see my endscreen and just see random pmc's that died to nades that I never eneded up looting.

#

@bold kernel see it in a positive light

#

aslong as you still have stuff to learn and improve on

#

the game stays fresh

cold parrot
#

This

bold kernel
#

Oh I'm having a blast

stone surge
#

the most fun I had in tarkov was getting my first real $$ during runs and not knowing the extracts / map inside out

bold kernel
#

I'm also suffering but this game is amazing

stone surge
#

the moment you get better knowledge of the map, you start to play more reckless/careless and you won't have the same "intense/tense" feeling you used to have

#

atleast that's what I have atm

#

maybe it's different for others idk

bold kernel
#

I just need to get rid of my gear fear and I'll be all set

stone surge
#

I remember playing shoreline for first time and whenever I was looting in a room and I heard footsteps

#

I was dead silent

#

even for 10mins if I had to

neat spruce
#

It's not so much the gear fear as it is just how much of a pain in the ass it is to rebuild your setup. Takes time!

stone surge
#

True

bold kernel
#

Yeah but I've accumulated so much gear these past couple of days

stone surge
#

but that's a big complaint the community has

#

everytime you die and need to regear

#

you need to click A LOT

#

before you have the same setup again

neat spruce
#

I'm working on getting to about 4.5mm so I can upgrade my stash and still have some money left over.

stone surge
#

over time they'll probably automate a lot of the regearing

bold kernel
#

True, It'd be nice if we had some sort of preset for our entire setup and could just easily rebuy everything

stone surge
#

atleast I hope

open basin
#

Im waiting till there's a sale so i can upgrade my stash smiteS

stone surge
#

Take edit presets/modding menu we have now

#

back in the day, no such thing existed

neat spruce
#

You can add your gun parts to the favorites list on Flea Market. That can make it a bit faster.

stone surge
#

I can't even imagine modding my guns without presets

#

i really like having a shopping-list and buy everything instant

bold kernel
#

My only complaint I have so far that doesn't have to do with me being salty and bad are Jaeger's tasks

stone surge
#

yea but everyone has it

#

i wouldn't be surprised if they rework him

wtf do you mean kill 4 pmcs with a headshot while having a tremor

stone surge
#

@bold kernel it's also not realistic which tarkov tries to be

#

Imagine having a boss and you're a mercnary

#

and he asks you to shoot yourself in the foot

neat spruce
#

I like the idea of following Jaeger's path. They just need to give you some real benefits to being a survivalist.

stone surge
#

before you kill your target

#

nice boss 10/10

bold kernel
#

yeah hahahha

stone surge
#

"Oh you didn't shoot yourself in your foot before you assassinated him?"

bold kernel
#

I thought I'd just quickly bust out some tasks so I can get lvl 2 jaeger and upgrade my hideout a bit

stone surge
#

Try again LUL

neat spruce
#

If you could only max out certain skills by doing Jaeger's quests, that would be cool.

bold kernel
#

But jaeger has other plans

stone surge
#

he's a sadistic fuck

neat spruce
#

I didn't think there's anything fast about this game

#

It all takes time and effort.

bold kernel
#

Also some insane quest don't even give loyalty like reeeeeeeeeeeeeee

stone surge
#

@neat spruce depends how good you know the game

open basin
#

You lose so much jaeger rep doing other tasks

stone surge
#

I believe people had maxed out hideouts

#

within 1 week

#

of .12

neat spruce
#

Those people scare me

stone surge
#

pestily

#

had maxed hideout aswell fast

#

iirc

open basin
#

Well it is his job

bold kernel
#

What's the thicc key case called again?

stone surge
#

yea

#

pestily got maxed hideout

#

in 5 days

#

after wipe

#

@bold kernel S I C C

bold kernel
#

Awesome thank you!

#

I wish I could upgrade my game edition without having to reset my account

stone surge
#

you can?

open basin
#

You can

bold kernel
#

Wot

open basin
lapis mauve
#

You can

raw jacinth
#

i did like 3 days ago

stone surge
#

you dont need to reset your acc

bold kernel
#

I looked it up like 3 times and it said you had to reset your account

stone surge
#

nah that was old

open basin
#

I wish i could upgrade my account without having to pay kappist

stone surge
#

they changed that so you dont have to anymore

lapis mauve
#

I did it like a year ago and didn’t need to reset

bold kernel
#

I thank you guys but my wallet does not

stone surge
#

People thought you needed a reset during black friday

dull vault
#

Big customer vs Out of curiosity vs Chemical p4 which trader should i turn the quest onto?

stone surge
#

but servers back then were overloaded

#

so it took a while to process

lapis mauve
#

Wait for New Years sale

If you look it up the first 2 links are reddit posts where it says you need to reset your account, kinda oofed

#

Hey i just installed about 2 days ago been learning customs map / can identify where I am / need to go .. But everytime i raid online I feel like i'm dying so quickly any tips?

lapis mauve
#

Need to learn maps, how to fight ai, situational awareness

stone surge
#

it's mostly map knowledge and hotspots, know what to avoid and such

lapis mauve
#

Pestily has a good series going for new people

stone surge
#

customs is super unfriendly for beginners, as you face people in bushes around dorms a lot and you just die

#

without being able to do much

#

Try to explore other maps (avoid reserve for now)

bold anchor
#

i've been just bringing a pistol also watched most of pestily beginner guides

stone surge
#

Try shoreline and Interchange

#

and see if you like any of those 2

#

interchange is daunting at first, but 100% worth to learn as you can avoid fights easy

#

and theres lots of loot

#

Shoreline village is good for chill looting

bold anchor
#

Okay so i should move on from customs for now?

stone surge
#

Customs has the worst loot in the map and full of chokes/bushes

#

it's just awfull all around and just there for quests imo

bold kernel
#

I like customs because it's unlikely you'll run into large groups

#

Also very easy map to learn

#

But yeah the loot is bad and you might get bamboozled

stone surge
#

@bold anchor Pick your poison, if you really like the way custom plays

#

go ahead and keep at it

open basin
#

Customs has the early tasks smiteS

stone surge
#

and get better at the map

#

but Imo shoreline is maybe the most beginner friendly map

solar steppe
#

I’ve been learning in factory on my scav

bold anchor
#

yeah i pretty much have it learned already should i be bringing more than a pistol ?

bold kernel
#

Only if you avoid resort hehe

stone surge
#

if you stay away from resort first 10mins

#

but village

#

is super chill for looting

bold kernel
#

Bring whatever you're comfortable bringing

stone surge
#

@bold anchor it depends, pistol wont kill much more than scavs in general

bold kernel
#

Try to not have gear fear, losing stuff isn't that big of a deal as it seems in the beginning

#

Making money is pretty easy

stone surge
#

if you really wanna have a shot at killing people

#

buy the vepr KM

#

for 15k

#

around same price as pistol

bold anchor
#

Ok thank you all

bold kernel
#

Good luck fella

stone surge
#

Vepr KM + PS bullets

#

@bold anchor and try to do a lot of scav runs

#

and play both customs, interchange and shoreline

#

and just see whichever you prefer

#

and better that map

formal hamlet
#

i feel like sks is the best cheap weapon to run

stone surge
#

SKS is worse than vepr KM

bold anchor
#

okay also vepr cant be bought right?

formal hamlet
#

ive been like destroying with the sks

stone surge
#

it can

#

on flea market

formal hamlet
#

with ps bullets

stone surge
#

which opens at lvl 5

bold anchor
#

ohh okay

#

ty

formal hamlet
#

i also recommend customs, i feel like thats the easiest map for kills

stone surge
#

@formal hamlet I have to, but that's not an argument for SKS being better than vepr KM

#

SKS has worse stats than vepr KM

formal hamlet
#

but if you want to feel the game and learn play factory

#

yh ig

#

i just perfer sks lmao

#

and also, play with friends to learn more

stone surge
#

tarkov is a game you kinda need to experience rather than being told what to do

#

people that watch streamers or videos will still be clueless mostly

#

when they join in themselves solo

formal hamlet
#

i feel like playing with a friend would help tho

#

im not saying let the friend carry lol

#

but i get what u saying

stone surge
#

playing with a friend in the beginning is also more fun

formal hamlet
#

ive been mostly playing with myself since i kno no one who plays tarkvo lmao

#

ye

stone surge
#

which helps at learning too

#

exploring together, finding extracts together

spiral terrace
#

if anyone wants to team up that would be pretty cool

bold anchor
#

yeah dont have any friends that play

stone surge
#

there's a lot of ppl looking for others to play with

#

Just mention that you're a new player

formal hamlet
#

most people dont want to play with lvl 14 people

#

rip

stone surge
#

there's plenty of ppl that are just as new

#

that wanna play with someone

#

and can't hurt to ask in there

formal hamlet
#

true true

stone surge
#

I don't mind doing some games in a bit either

#

but i'm EU and i'm pretty sure nearly everyone still up is NA

formal hamlet
#

ye haha, americans dont sleep

stone surge
#

< 5am

#

:4

formal hamlet
#

and do you have any advice for what i should be saving to buy

#

like im just trying to get cash and don't kno what im savving for

stone surge
#

depends what you wnna do honestly

fathom narwhal
#

There are a lot of new guides

#

That came out last week

stone surge
#

@formal hamlet like as in what gear/weapons to buy

#

or what kind of items to invest in

formal hamlet
#

cases/items

stone surge
#

scav junkbox, item/weaponcases if you need space

#

the others ones are also nice (medbox/ammobox etc)

#

i like my stash clean so yea

formal hamlet
#

facts

fathom narwhal
stone surge
#

and for money runs you could invest in Shoreline keys

formal hamlet
#

i hate seeing messy ass stashes

stone surge
#

Thus keychain

formal hamlet
#

yh i gotta try shoreline more. ive been mostly running interchange, customs, and factory

stone surge
#

nth wrong with that.

#

just dont go labs till you're settled

#

labs is a big investment in just learning the map

formal hamlet
#

haha.... yh, im far away from playing labs

fallen crane
#

how does labs work? is there a buy-in each time you play it?

formal hamlet
#

everyboidy is liked stacked there lmao

#

yh

#

u need a labs key

stone surge
#

yea you pay about 200k everytime you hop in

fallen crane
#

oh damn

stone surge
#

and insurance doesn't work there, so even if your buddy lives and you die

#

your gear is gone

formal hamlet
#

Labs is no joke

stone surge
#

labs is the best money though, especially late night

split vapor
#

10 man milbase is where it’s at

fallen crane
#

what's the red keycard for that makes it worth so much?

formal hamlet
#

yh but its a HIGH risk HIGH reward

stone surge
#

oh gosh this guy again with his taking over reserve

split vapor
#

Red key isn’t worth the 20-30m

formal hamlet
#

its the best card

stone surge
#

no red keycard sucks honestly Lol

split vapor
#

It’s p bad

fallen crane
#

it open a door with loot?

split vapor
#

Yeah

stone surge
#

yes

#

the loot is good

formal hamlet
#

so why everybody hypes it up

bronze prism
#

why doesnt it tell you what killed you lmao wtf

split vapor
#

Now it’s a bad spot to even bother

formal hamlet
#

maybe somebody stole ur kill

stone surge
#

because people with money might aswell just buy the red keycard

split vapor
#

Too much hassle to make money money

#

Back

#

Honestly red key is only worth maybe 10m

stone surge
#

labs is full of loot you can stick in your container (VPX/Virtex/Ledx)

#

and all the loot in red keycard chamber is mostly stuff you dont wanna put in there

#

it just adds up

fallen crane
#

standard edition ftw lol

stone surge
#

silencers, mods, chickens

fallen crane
#

how long would it take to rush epsilon?

stone surge
#

but you put yourself in a bad spot in red keycard room

split vapor
#

Long

#

Ish

fallen crane
#

can you just do the quests or are certain parts locked behind trader levels?

split vapor
#

It’s a quest reward

stone surge
#

you just gotta progress prapor

fallen crane
#

ok

stone surge
#

some are tied to level though

split vapor
#

It’s 6 tasks in total for the case alone plus the tasks before to even unlock it

stone surge
#

so you need to lvl ur pmc

formal hamlet
#

this reminds me that i need to focus on quests more lmao

fallen crane
#

the ones before dont look too bad but the punisher series is a lot of killing

formal hamlet
#

who's the best eft streamer to watch

stone surge
#

Depends

#

some are more educational

open basin
#

you know whats the easiest way to get a better secure container?

formal hamlet
#

in ur opinion

stone surge
#

some better at the game

bronze prism
#

i like pestily

#

because he doesnt rage

formal hamlet
#

i like pestily to haha

#

i watch veritas too

bronze prism
#

i dont watch veritas too much because he doesnt talk much

#

from what ive seen

formal hamlet
#

i like when he plays his guitar

open basin
#

i watched him for the first time a couple of days ago

bronze prism
#

and it helps to be in on better players' thought process

formal hamlet
#

and music in general

open basin
#

dude was running labs with hk and class 6 armor

stone surge
#

Pestily/veritas are enteraining/educational
and I watch QuatroAce if I really wanna see some high level pvp

formal hamlet
#

oh shit yh i watch him

open basin
#

i watch smoke

formal hamlet
#

he's cracked lmao

#

ace is cracked

stone surge
#

ace is really good, he kinda shows you how good aggressive plays can be

formal hamlet
#

facts

stone surge
#

He just never snipes, so for that I would watch someone else.

formal hamlet
#

but i feel like sniping is less enjoyable

#

in all games i play, i never snipe

stone surge
#

Same I run PK-06

#

or HAMR for 1x/4x

#

as HAMR doesn't fuck with sensivity like valday or other scopes do

formal hamlet
#

if u run a 5 man in factory

#

is that team like all the pmcs

stone surge
#

then you have 1 other pmc

#

lonewolf

lapis mauve
#

1 other is possible

formal hamlet
#

rip that other guy

stone surge
#

Depends how good he is

open basin
#

then that 1 guy wipes you and your squad

formal hamlet
#

but what r the odds

#

plus the scavs

stone surge
#

people underestimate how annoying running 5man squads is

#

communication can be chaotic, especially if your team is scattered

formal hamlet
#

yh thats true

#

i perfer just running like a 3 or 2 man squad

grave helm
#

Question: ANyone got a good silence Five Seven Build?

stone surge
#

i mean, teamkills are pretty common in 5man squads

#

if you're not 100% sure what you see is an enemy or teammate

#

you either are dead or you kill a teammate

formal hamlet
#

it be like that sometimes

stone surge
#

@grave helm just put a silencer on it? xd

#

there's not much to mod on five seven

formal hamlet
#

i just sell pistols

#

is that just me

grave helm
#

nah I sell them aswell

formal hamlet
#

i just find no use for them

grave helm
#

also @stone surge I mean not only silence but stacked pistol build ^^

stone surge
#

#buffpistols

formal hamlet
#

i agree

grave helm
#

I have to kill pmc with a pistol so I figured out ima buy the fn-57 since its strong

fallen crane
#

are any pistols actually good?

stone surge
#

five seven

#

is decent at best

fallen crane
#

any 9mm good or all shit?

stone surge
#

shit

#

complete shit

formal hamlet
#

wow

stone surge
#

i mean m9a3 is prob the best 9mm

#

but 9mm is in a super bad position atm

fallen crane
#

how come there isnt any 45acp pistols

lapis mauve
#

9x39 is good

wanton latch
#

best budged armored rig?

stone surge
#

6b3tm

lapis mauve
#

But yeah, for pistols 5-7 is by far the best

formal hamlet
#

still ass

#

but yh

stone surge
#

for the cost yes

#

but five seven atleast has potential to kill players

lapis mauve
#

Pens lvl 3 easy, and lvl 4 is a couple shots at most

#

Just don’t fight ppl with lvl 5+ faceshields

formal hamlet
#

or

#

dont use a pistol

lapis mauve
#

Hard to do pistol quest without using a pistol (read up a little)

dim cove
#

so now that scavs and armor pen has been buffed, things kinda upped in scale. whats an ideal loudout armor wise now?

#

pretty much only go in with t5? t3 for scavs?

#

t4 feels like a waste of money right now

lapis mauve
#

Lvl 4 is good for budget

#

Lvl 5 for fighting players

stone surge
#

lvl 3 scavs

lapis mauve
#

Lots of ammo people use pens lvl 3 but not 4, at least not right away

dim cove
#

lvl 4 feels like a waste in the fight unless you are overconfident

#

ive only survived with scavs on it really. it feels like everyone just butters my gear at lvl 4 still

stone surge
#

ye because there are good budget options

#

that pen 4 easily

#

looking at m80, m855a1, 7.62 PS/BP

#

all cost around 300 or less

#

and pens 4 easily

grave helm
#

best map for pistol runs?

stone surge
#

factory

#

if you want fast kills

grave helm
#

I need save kills so I dont lose my pistol xd

dim cove
#

so if i want to survive any pvp interaction now its really lvl 5+?

#

because im bad

#

lol

stone surge
#

no

#

Tier 4 is fine

grave helm
#

^ no you dont need 5+ only

stone surge
#

just dont use tier 4 ceramic

#

tier 4 ceramic = BAD

#

6b3tm will do you good if you are on a budget for tier 4

#

otherwise trooper/TV-110 or w/e.

dim cove
#

okay

stone surge
#

tactec for tier5 can be an option

#

just try to avoid ceramic

#

is has bad repair costs, it loses a lot of durability on repair

#

and it breaks easily in-raid

#

while if you have a trooper (ultrahighweight polyethene)

#

it can hold A LOT of bullets before reaching 0 dura

#

ur prob dead before it even reaches 0

dim cove
#

huh

#

didnt know materials had that much of a difference

stone surge
#

yup

#

the reason for this is how durability works in the game

#

the lower the durability

#

the easier worse bullets get through

dim cove
#

but a 6b3tm is only 40/40

#

there are highers in t4 right?

stone surge
#

yes trooper or tv-110

lapis mauve
dim cove
#

ah

stone surge
#

but it doesn't matter how high the dura is for how "good" it holds bullets

lapis mauve
#

material makes a huge difference

stone surge
#

as it goes by percentage

dim cove
#

oh wow

split vapor
#

Ceramic bad

dim cove
#

this is a whole depth i didnt even know existed

split vapor
#

Kevlar best

dim cove
#

and im at 100 hours

#

so how are helmets then? higher dura = better? so i should go for faceplate if i want to tank shots? is it worth giving up the comtacs?

#

material still better too?

steady pilot
#

Shoot bad

stone surge
#

@dim cove 9x19 for example can't penetrate a full durability (68/68 gen4) but it can get through a gen4 that is let's say 6/68

steady pilot
#

That's still a stretch

stone surge
#

probably, but it's fictional numbers

lapis mauve
#

And 6/68 is the same as 6/6

stone surge
#

this is also the reason why it bazzles me

#

people actually walk around in 30/30 zhuks

dim cove
#

thats wild

steady pilot
#

Zhuk 6a?

dim cove
#

so lower dura also = better chance to pen? it makes sense, but i just looked as armor as hp

stone surge
#

yes

steady pilot
#

That's find

#

Fine

#

Its lvl 6

stone surge
#

30/30 zhuk is broken so easy

steady pilot
#

Tfw when I tanked an entire 60 rder and still had 20 hp on my zhuk left

#

Point blank

stone surge
#

wtf was that for bullet then

#

,_,

steady pilot
#

It was an m4

#

It wasnt m995 but it was 5 ft away

#

Just mowed my chest

#

And I survived itkappist

#

So zhuk work

stone surge
#

i'll just stay with my paca

steady pilot
#

Tactec is king

stone surge
#

can't wait for it to be out of stock again

steady pilot
#

Nah just buy it on market

stone surge
#

oh lul it still is

#

inb4 4 TT pistols

steady pilot
#

People sell / 40-50 durability ones for like 60k all the time

stone surge
#

What

steady pilot
#

Like idiots

#

I just buy and repair

#

Cost 25k and lose 1%

stone surge
#

tactec was already so good before they buffed it to 50 dura

#

60k for tier 5 even though it was 40/40

#

that was a steal

steady pilot
#

It's still super super cost effective

stone surge
#

i think around 130

#

is max I would pay for it

#

@steady pilot do you happen to know what's up with the stock though?

#

what's the reason it's sold out and doesnt get restocked. Is it because BSG is experimenting what to do with it or?

steady pilot
#

No it gets sold out on trade reset

#

That's it

stone surge
#

Really?

steady pilot
#

Yes

#

People wait for reset and buy it out

stone surge
#

whats max stock

#

when it gets reset

steady pilot
#

No clue

viral berry

Is there any way to know what kind of attachments are compatible with certain weapons before buying them? Like I'm wanting to put a mount on my P226 so I can put a flashlight, but I don't know what rails/lights can fit on it

steady pilot
#

Use edit preset

#

You need workshop lvl 1 in hide out

#

Also just use the wiki

viral berry
#

Ah okay. Do I need to get the generator to power the workshop?

steady pilot
#

!wiki p226

broken quailBOT
steady pilot
#

No but it's like 80k or so

viral berry
#

Ah okay. Not too too bad

grave helm
#

@viral berry double click on the item and there is an arrow next to "comatible with available" hold on it and it shows you if it's compatible with a weapon in your stash/equipment

steady pilot
#

That will take you forever

#

To figure out stuff

#

Edit preset shows you everything for free

#

Same with wiki

#

Edit preset does have a catch. You need to have things examined to see it

#

should I invest on silencers for my AK?

stone surge

up to you

steady pilot

Yes

stone surge

wanna be silent? then yes

steady pilot

Maintaining your position unknown

#

Is key

#

You can use it reposition easier too

bold kernel
#

If you can afford it....

steady pilot
#

They are only 40k and that can save you 300k In kit

#

Ends justify the means imo

#

Also if you're solo

#

Good idea incase a squad is rollin around

#

You could just use a vss. Really quiet gun and its 55k and solid pen

#

That gun is a monster, top tier if you get used to drop of it
