you dont stand a chance with t4 and a vepr km
don't be an exfil camping bitch
That’s what I’m saying
I may be able to aim
But my pea shooter just can’t penetrate shit
aim isnt super important
Bullets matter
tactics and movement are king
I'll give you the most effective rounds currently
well I’ve been using the makrov however you spell it
Died a couple times
Sticking to scav runs
well makarov rounds are stopped by a piece of paper
M855a1 or m995 for 556, 545 BS, 726x51mm M80, 762x54r 7n1, 9x39 sp6/spp. And 762x39 BP
vepr km with good rounds can pen a lot
Best rounds if you want to compete with players
It’s full auto too?
no
No
semi
Okay
It's an sks but better
single shot is really good
I found an SKS
full auto is seriously overrated
Sell it
OP sks is 35k on market
😦
I just gotta know when to get the hell oht

Not the correct result? Use !wiki page vepr hunter for a direct link or !wiki search vepr hunter for a list of all hits.
vepr km is 15
out
Because I’m solo
it takes about 10 minutes travel from west to east on shoreline
15 if you are sneaky
I’ve just gotta get over gear fear ig
I don’t have it when I play other games
But like tarkov is different ig
It feels so much harsher
if you aren't using gear sell it
than anything I’ve played
but what if I die and need another set
suppose I could just buy one :/
yeah lmao
if i find spare parts for my standard kit i keep em
like veprs kms
and t4 armored rigs
and such
but if you have a gun you wont use because of gear fear its already lost so just sell it
cries in the blingbling m4 someone gave me
Veprkm usually comes back
Because it’ll be gone at some point
with thermals and shit
Cause people prefer more expensive guns
ye
i will say i do keep a few guns to just fool around with in offline mode
tbh i like the veprkm over adar
veprkm feels nicer to shoot
i havent gotten a 5.56 gun come back to me lmfao
chad round
does the sks and akm do the same damage since they have same bullet cartridge?
I run 3 10 round mags on my vepr
@rain compassyes
neat
@clever quartz
one in gun and two spare in rig
10 rounds?
That seems like not many
You can do 10 rd pocket mags
I guess it is a semi
isn't the sks kinda shit since it has essentially worse stats in everything compared to akm then
1-2 for headshots
Or cheap rig from ragman and get the ak55 mags
keep 60 bullets in your secure container to reload them (or however many you want)
@rain compass sks is garbo compared to veprkm
i have been convinced, i am selling all my sks
yes
Yeet
good boy
@rain compassmy chart is wrong with price. It's like 9-15k on market
Causs people dumb
For vepr
200k
And then got headshot immediately
Are there any normal keys for labs, or is everything key card?
Sounds about right
I screamed
Although usually it's like ''oh this one time I'll scav on factory'' Spawns with keycard
i think there are 2 normal keys
@clever quartz time to toss monitor out window
How rare is that
should you just extract immediately
Ehhh kinda
yes
If you're budget yes
Noted
I think ''uncommon'' is the best word for it
You can be greedy if you want
But not rare
what
so with your pistol runs
Taking up 1x2 space
yee
Are just running up behind scavs
If I exit out of the game with Attention your character is still in the raid do I lose the gear I brought in
And capping them in the back of the head
i am sneaking scavs in the power station and headshotting them
@bold kernel how tf do i organize then
@steady pilot Do you have a veprkm build, or just default?
@cold parrot you can remove grip and mag and make it a 1x5 slot for storage
next to em are mags and rounds
oh nice
4 bonus slots
Put the grip to right of gun
conmes
If I exit out of the game with Attention your character is still in the raid do I lose the gear I brought in?
yes
Probably ^^
this isnt cod
It's a server error. I'm not trying to cheat the game.
I've tried to reconnect 10 times.
@cold parrot an example of storage
No you don't. You can just restart the game and you'll have your stuff
If you weren't shot
Unless if it's scav, then you'll probably lose stuff
Lmfao... I wish my storage was as neat as yours delta
I've tried to do what the game suggested and reconnect 10x. It gives me bad server error every time.
Verify game files then
@solemn pike servers fucked it happens
So like do you have any storage tips
Gotta take a loss
Right off the bat
guys quick question, for the delivery from the past quest, do you need to take the actual case to Factory? I don't have any case, I got to the place where I was supposed to plant it and nothing was there
To save me some time
@clever quartzyes just remove mags and grips to make them a 1x5
okay
Just like my pic
How do you remove the grip
Would I actually lose the gear I brought in @steady pilot
Yes ^
@marble latch the case goes in your quest inventory, you need to not die and bring it with you to factory
@solemn pikeif its insured and not looted you should get back, maybe
@clever quartz inspect
@solemn pike this happens. You're kinda fucked.
and drag it off
oh okay
Would my group leaving the raid make a difference in letting me in
can the dvl mount a suppressor
The short barrel for the DVL is suppressed. The longer barrel takes a muzzle brake
@bold kernel I am pretty sure I completed the Customs part of it, I have a finger pointing up in that objective, but I see no items in my inventory?
If you go to tasks in your stash is the item in the quest inventory?
It's in your quest inventory, it's a different inventory than your normal one
^
OH
Look at Tasks tab
If the item isnt in your tasks tab quest inventory then you need to do it again
i've got question regarding the extract on woods called gate to factory, the game tells me that i need to bring a friendly scav to extract. How do I do it?
And it didn’t count
Go trader > tasks > hit accept at middle
To accpet tasks you use the dealer directly.
is thermometer better than HDD?
Yes
ok
Sorry that I ask a lot of questions tarkov really doesn’t hold your hand at all
Haha its not meant to
Appreciate it a lot though
Thats why its a good game, and thats why we have this channel!
@clever quartzi recommend a pestily or deadlyslob beginner video
okay
Would really clear it up
I’ll probably just watch it now
What Sky said ^^
btw does anyone have the new ammo comparison sheet that could paste here?
Ballistics are an important part of Escape from Tarkov. They play a big role in firefights and often determine the outcomes. Choosing the right weapon, ammo and gear is one of the most important parts in coming out on top of fighting.

@marble latch pins
Click that link ronaldong
thanks!
Wiki has everything accurate
@bold kernel @steady pilot better?
yes daddy
ive got 4 more to sort and fix up
Yeah it works
get a mag case
No
then all the damn adars
kk
Ammo and mags
@cold parrot get mag case
if you want more storage space
less space in stash taken
so more efficient
i have ammo in seperate cases anyway
Pistol cases literally give you way more space
how
They are 3x12 in a 4x4 slot
wtf is 3x3
Fuck
Do what you want acrimon
than pistol
If you want to be organized use p case
Personally I had mag case and iddnt like it
Sold it
well
it's whatever you prefer
either 3 ratio of return for space (pistol case)
or 8.16 ratio for mag case
should i upgrade my medstation or should i selll my ledx
do you need money 
i need stash level 2 tho
you also need to give 3 ledxes to therapist for a quest
so in kinda conflicted
bro honestly just buy eod on sale @broken briar lmao
it takes less time to "grind" money for edge of darkness irl
than to do it ingame
:kek:
kebab its for getting watercollector 2
what do yo u get from medstation level 3 tho
check da wiki
!wiki hideout
i only want scav case but i need to upgrade other things 😦
if you have so much money that you can sink it into scav cases
you might aswell full upgrade
scav
i have sank 4.5 mil into scav junkboxes so i think this is ok
all them are full ._:
Entire left row of my stash is scav boxes :p
Trying to sell everything in them so i can get rid of some xD
keep it for quest or sell it? i spawned with this on my scav.
Which one should i prioritise?
Level 4.
Is there a point in even getting a Sherpa
ok thanks!
What’re they gonna tell me
i dont have either 😄
oi
i hate quests
im gonna get beta soon just 1 more level then im level 29
@clever quartz just guide you, give general tips and helpful tips, tell you what to look out for. Give you gear, help do a quest. Etc
Just go to site and request one
And what’s the difference between USEC Assault vs Recon
Recon more about intel, playing slow
Sherpas are here to literally walk you through a quest, aside from other things...
Assault is just aggressive etc
sherpas are the best people and super nice
Okay
Youd be surprised the help youd receive if you asked
sw_delta what level are you?
Why does level matter
i wonder how efficient strength leveling would be with tank battery after this update 🤔
Lol
I've played through 7 wipes
Level obviously indicates skill level 😛
im leveö 28 so ye
I've been lvl 50 like 7 times over
Im level 48, does that mean im gud?
No
darn
Nah, you're trash below lvl 49

unlucky
ur trash if you are under the level of quatroace
So... Is there any color coordination between the map, and the keycard required on labs? XD
Did you check wiki yet?
I'm looking at a map on the wiki.... I figured they'd color it according to the keycard required 😦
its shit
also 
YOURE WRONG
custom is shit
:madpepe:
bad map
Only good for quests and finding sweaties
0/5 ign
Sitting here swiping every card in my butt trying to open doors.... Fuck this game XD
Use it in door, not your butt silly.
FEELS BETTER IN MY BUTT THO
oddly shaped, but to each their own.
Why can't you just accept me for who i am?!
Key cards have more texture

he said IN da butt thooooo


I'm sure the beginners find my butt carding very helpful XD
When do we get a drum mag for asval? 😛
Dude thats the real question.
If there was a mag bigger than 30 rds it would completely change the game
level 4 armor would be useless.
I mean... It's a 9mm right? So like.... Can we get a 200rnd belt fed asval? XD
a big 9mm tho
the bullet is bigger than the 762x39 bullet
AS Val best gun in the game, aside from ROF with small mag
the drop is kinda annoying too
Ar = through armor. Pistol = smash armor
Shhhh
lol
They don't need to know the glock can't 1 tap gen4
Doesnt matter if you aim for the face
Well.... I found the red keycard room.... Not worth the 18m
9x19 is fatter but shorter than 762x39. i wouldnt really say its bigger overall
The bullet is A LOT bigger than a 7.62 round...
is it really though?
Good news everyone! Yellow room on the map... Uses the yellow card! all the others are wrong tho.
9x19, 9x39, 762x39, 545x39 in order
worth
picked up an epsilon for about 1.2mil yesterday
is that 1 extra slot worth the extra 2 mil?
in the long run yes
Igolnick ammo adds 15% recoil to the gun, right?
why doesnt it show level??
some ammo that adds recoil (or reduces it) doesnt work
oh yeah, 7n39 is only better than bs vs 1 specific armor that nobody uses
Is 6b43 the only t6 armor?
even zhuk-6a bs is probably better
zhuk-6a is the other one but its ceramic and breaks kinda fast
So all those times i saw zhuk-6a on a player i killed with a hs... I prolly shoulda grabbed it? XD
meh
yes my dude, those are mad expensive
why doesnt it shoow level https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/521626362251837451/659530357854568468/bkg9joc.png
doesn't it sell kinda ok even to fence?
Hahahaha, i've seen a ton at max durability and passed it up, because just looking at it made me think it was low tier garbage XD
oh ok ty guys
Oh man, i am trash 😛
@broken briar it has no level requirement, you need to do lend lease part 2
oh
for lend lease 2 you need to be level 30 though
full durability zhuk 6a is like 300k+ right now
400k 😛
I haven't done any real raids today, just learning labs, but in the last 2 days i saw atleast 3-4 of them xD
Imagine not using tactec tho
what’s that
Can graphics cards even spawn in computers, or is just on shelves and shit?
😳
A class 5 armored rig that's very very cost efficient and repairs well
oh so I don’t have to worry ab that yet
They are 60k-80k broken/half durability
About 20k to repair with barely any loss in max durability
I was told to just buy the cheapest T3 armor
Graphics cards do spawn in computers @stark coyote
Never seen it once
I only know that because I found one once haha
You can but it's not hard to make money and use the tactec and nearly survive any round in game
okay
Class 4 is minimum for a chance against players
Class 3 is like scav armor
Even then 762 ps scavs shit on you
I'm realizing a flashlight is a must have on labs.... Some real dark corners with loot hiding in em
okay
how dark is it at 9 pm
I’ll probably DM you later to confirm my load out @steady pilot
too dark to see
@clever quartz also accept the #521628660298678283 to get a blue name and unlock discord
okay so me bringing night vision is good
Okay yeah I was wondering
And sure.
is m80 a one-shot kill against class 4?
neat
M80 is a very cheap and effective round
i have been using the vepr hunter a lot but wasn't sure what armor it killed
Makes the vepr hunter a nasty weapon for being a 30k platform
So I’m looking at getting a VeprKM with 7.62x39 PS
i think that sounds like a pretty good idea
Yeah it's good budget wep
You can find it cheap on market and scavs drop it like crazy
Easy to deck out with a few cheap mods
is roler for the pp-19 trade worth it
No lol
Delta, would you dm me your go to vepr build?
I offer this for budget option. You can add a butt pad, reflex, or grip if you want or take as is in raid and find that stuff and attach it.
Up to you what you do with it.
Its black polymer from prapor lvl 1, tt01 from prapor 2. And dynacomp muzzlebrake from mech 2
Mkay, i gonna have to try that
You can find on market for a little pricier but it works
If you like wood, keep wood. People will toss the gun more often

Black polymer cost like 3k so no big deal
No suppressor?
Its not really budget if you add a 40k suppressor
But you can
You are much more likely to survive. But you might as well pay 30k for an ak103 instead
Flir is ass
never used thermals
They are very strong currently
They buffed them with. 12
Can see up to 230m ish
Better refresh rates
Is there any armored chest rig tier list or something like that? I want to go into the raid a bit more safe with at least tier 4 armor and idk what to chose, rig+armour or just armored rig?
Yeah but i was wondering is there maybe some list like there are some fan tables with ammo charts etc
Armored rigs are more cost efficient
Cause you dont have to buy rig and armor
An AVS for lots if loot space, stomach protection and class 4. Or tactec with enough space, and class 5. No stomach protection
6b3 armor rig okay?
7n1

LPS has lower pen, not worth
Snb cant one shit chests
hm
7n1 can 1 tap chests?
Its above 80 dmg.
svd is strong af
M80 is also 80 dmg
Both are 45 pen
Both one tap class 4 at 90% and class 5 at 40-50%
Chest is 80 dmg
So about the chest rig?
especially with suppressors
@clever quartz what
which would you recommend
wha
eh
russian slavvy
@silver dome do you know what a rig is
@clever quartz 6b3tm
okay
the names are confusing ygm
@clever quartzid help you figure it out if I was home and looked at prices and stuff
I just know the most effective and cost effective ones
do ur job
Im sure you guys have been hearing this all day but i have the error Blocked loading of file "....\dxgi.dll" and ive been trying to fix it all day but cant figure it out
stop going on discord at work
@dense berry uh
just press play?
itshould work fine
unless you're a filthy reshade user
it freezes my whole desktop @bold kernel
@dense berry accept #521628660298678283 to unlock discord and go to #community-support
how
idek what reshade is
i put the same message in there @steady pilot
can't stand factory anymore
litterally just keep running into people holding angles even when they first spawn they just sit
just don't play it
trying to get them pistol kills
dont sprint into angles
dont shoot armor ecksdee
Aim for the face. Lol
def didnt aim for head then
Don’t use bad ammo
killed one guy in 3 shots
I just got one shoted by someone who killed me through my vest and only shot my stomach.
Is that even possible ?
probs hit your chest
then another came up and i dumped all of my ammo into him including the guy i killeds gun
What ammo are you using
@soft tartan the end raid stats cant always be trusted
especially the part where it says what part your killshot was
Could have fragmented into your stomach but really hit chest
Both my friend and I got the same end screen
Well feels bad
pistols are a bit annoying to get set up for
like just getting all the things for it
unless you buy a bunch all at once
say like 5 5-7s and all the clips and ammos for that then keep running that
the SVD is a 100x better version of the vepr hunter
What was the rubber thing called that you put on the AKM stock for reduced recoil?
how can I put a flashlight on an AKM?
gp-25
Thanks!
@compact oak first off, go to #news-setup and #521628660298678283
second
right click the AKM and press linked search
navigate the menus on the left until you find handguards
sort by price, so that the cheapest is at the op
then look at the handguards until you see a rail
Linked search the gas tube actually
yup, only like 1.1k
Considering hunter shoots m80 and svd shoots 7n1, they have same exact effectiveness. What it boils down to is accuracy and recoil and cost. Ergo is kinda even.
@prime ermine I'm in the same boat as you man, this game just has a hard learning curve, we'll get there
Is there a boss on labs, or just the raiders?
is the Ak-100 compatible with AKM? I only see it compatible with ak-104 in my stash
yeah its compatible ba
I think he means the damage vs damage reduction
@steady pilot yeah but second shot effectiveness is a lot different
The idea is one taps
wdym
If you wanted a guranteed second shot kill bullet then get m61 or snb respectively
Otherwise for the 1 tap potential
They are the same effectiveness
all im saying
is that when you do run into level 5 armor
when a second shot is likely required
7n1 performs slightly better
It's like 5-6% difference
I must be doing something really wrong
Hardly noticeable
sure
I have had 10+ games now where I hit 6-10 times with no kill
This is like saying 55 recoil is better than 60
What guns/armor/weapons should I be rolling with?
@gritty cobalt you running good ammo?
Its like ok ya
Uhhhh
But it feels the same
Shoot heads and don’t use bad ammo
Use bp/bt/bs
yeah
Well there is your problem
dont use hp
Shit ammo
use PP at the least
Hp is bad, go for legs if you need to
Just don't use HP
pp is the absolute cheapest you should use.
BP BT or BS
whats the cheapest drink?
Pay the extra
Check the flea market
Don't know..Don't worry about drinks
If you're overweight, you burn through stamina faster, right?
apple juice
ye
500 on fence
If you are 20 overweight, will you burn through it faster than if you are 2 overweight?

So for my ak74u what ammo would be IDEAL that won't break my bank?
Bp
At minimum
Cheapest one that goes through lvl 3 armor
Bt is preferable if you can afford it
If you can’t afford 545 use 762 ps
BS>BT>BP>PP
Though I would never use pp. bp cheapest
higher pen
good luck killing me with bs
level 6
You could just not use the ak74u
@silk laurel mate do you run level 6 armor?
in my 311 raids this wipe I have seen level 6 armor once
Bs is fine vs zhuk
and that was my second raid
Veprkm is 9-14k on market and 762 PS is way more effective than medium and trash tier 545 rounds
funny i bodied a 3 man that had level 6
ps is cheap af too
if u need a budget kit
Bs kills zhuk in 3-4 shots, 7n39 kills it in 3
go naked with a svd and 7n1 on reserve
You guys were saying one thing now you're saying another
okay but think about it
If I'm using an AKS-74u
545 ammos in order
and what about the other 7n39?
by the time your 4th bullet pens, 10 m995 bullets will have penned u
Best bs, then bt, then bp
BS>7n39>BT>BP>PP>PS>EVERYTHING ELSE
bs>bt>bp
PP is shit
ok perfect
ps is shitter
what is 7n39
igolnik
7n39>bs>bt>bp>pp>ps
does that have specific ammo too?
7n39 is a type of 545
Why do you say that Iloveatlanta?
we have different opinions on bs vs 7n39
He doesn’t like killing things fast
bc if u run into someone with level 6 armor, they will shred you even if u get the drop on people
lol
BS 2 shots level 5 and below to the thorax
7n39 3 shots level 6 and below to the thorax
bs 3-5 shots level 6 to the thorax
He likes killing people with 2 headshots instead of 1
ew why 416
37 recoil
@dull cave is that list you put for the bullets true for most guns?
fast fire rate
Then why are you suggesting 7n39?
bc i run 74n for budget runs
@gritty cobalt ima give you a rundown for ammo
Ok
545= BS/7n39>BT>BP
7n39 is ass
556= 995>855a1>856a1
762x39= BP>PS
762x51= m80
762x54R = 7n1>lps_gzh
its only marginally better though
very marginally better
I appreciate this a lot @tired thistle
close
@dull cave
I kinda agree now that 7n1 is a lot more ex
I've been having a tough time learning this game
Expensive
30 pen goes through level 3, 40 through 4, etc
That's not giving me the insight I need though lol
whats the best way to level up?
You're showing me raw data, while these guys are interpreting it for me
i have all the money spent for traders just not the level
@prime ermine quests
Kill things and do quests
What a lot of people dont understand is that it boils down to how you use it and application. The numbers mean something in different instances, the ones we claim to be the best are the best GENERAL purpose rounds
exactly
how new are you to the game?
okay so ur gauge on ammo is all over the place lmao
me?
What
@silk laurel is that at me?
yes
M80 is better
thats like using mk55 mod 0 over m995
For GENERAL purpose
LMAOWHAT
Pretty much yeah
80% of time m80 will work very very well
air frame can tank an m80
Even 90%
no it cant?
Lmao
thats just ricochet
^
full durability
no
Helmets dont count
I didn’t know mk55 one shots people through lvl 4-5 armor
^
Richochet is a whole another factor
@silk laurel how new are you
airframe is class 4, so dead airframe vs m80 right?
yes
@dull cave no no I'm thanking you
unless it ricochets
playin since NDA
which you cant really do much about
Also m855a1 is the best cost effective round, m995 destroys
me too chief
what's the % on that
@dull cave they were saying just read the chart, I'm saying you helped meunderstand it
❤️
@rain compass i dont think there is data on it
I would personally love to know as ewll
helmets aren't very well understood
afaik
^
m80 is good untill u run into anyone with any armor at all
it 3 shots level 5 at most
Well, if anyone is willing to run some raids with me to teach me let me knwo or add me and do it later I'd appreciate it
Helmets are a money sink. And the chances of it saving you like 5-10% of the time.
But sure it works.
M80 pens 4 easy and ok chance vs 5
@twilit tinsel you have to assign a different key
it 2-3shots gen4
ok but who wants to kill someone with lvl 4 armor?
Could u elaborate pls?
i only take level 5 armor and up for myself
yes the vepr hunter is very dangerous against gen4 as some guy found out yesterday
Mostly everyone is using lvl 4 armor and lower
@silk laurel me too
doesnt mean 95% of my kills aren't wearing level 3
@twilit tinsel change the keybind. I have toggle zoom on m for example
M80 has like 40% chance to 1 shot lvl 5
Statistically there are not tha many running top tier armor. It's like 15% lvl 5, 5% lvl 6. The rest are lvl 4
@silk laurel holy shit mate
i finally got a good set of gear and went in and somebody started shoot at me through a wall
gotccha ty
level 5 and 6 is rare to find
???
i thought it was scav but it wasnt
rip
play reserve, labs, or shoreline
Lmao m80 is still effective there
its not more than 15%
Are you high
oh i get it
45 pen is nuts
atlanta you are just trolling at this point
its all clear now
And 9x39 has 43 and 45 pen now
mate fuck off
Also effective
what's wrong with m80 tho
dont talk to him
You would be right if everyone in the game was using 6b43 and vulkans
But since that’s not the case . . .
is it possible and do people turn foiliage down for advantage?
any way to get rid of my out of stock bug, its taking up a flea market spot
sell it for the cheapest or a trader
I think you just need to wait for the time to run out
to get rid of it the fastest way
He sold the item already, it’s a bug
ye
Happened to me once, I just had to wait
which ammo would you guys recommend for 9x19 mags AP? because of armor pen?
or rip because of flesh damage
