dull cave
#

karmic garden
#

Yeah put meds in your alpha

timber dock
#

Gotta climb inside the dumpster.

#

And wait for the garbage pickup truck.

karmic garden
#

@tender kernel meds

tender kernel
#

oh didn't read all chat

karmic garden
#

@tender kernel put some in your secure container

tender kernel
#

Do I need a mag for sks

karmic garden
#

No, it has an internal mag

#

Just be aware it takes ages to reload

tender kernel
#

better?

karmic garden
#

If you're reloading and need to shoot, spam left click to cancel the animation, but be aware it doesn't like to cancel it fast

open basin
#

vepr km would be better 😎

karmic garden
#

@open basin he's level 1

open basin
#

also i love how the 7.62 ammo looks now

#

ah

#

thats fine

karmic garden
#

@tender kernel yeah just load your gun before you deploy

#

Because it's empty atm

#

Drag the ammo onto it

open basin
#

double click the gun and take the magazine out

karmic garden
#

Or take the internal mag out

#

One in the chamber and then fill the mag

tender kernel
#

got it

karmic garden
#

Bingo

tender kernel
#

Ok wish me the best of luck

karmic garden
#

@tender kernel glhf

#

Let us know how it goes

#

And don't worry about dying

tender kernel
#

I'll wait for like better time in game.

#

10 mins and I will go

karmic garden
#

What times is it atm?

tender kernel
#

7am and 7pm

karmic garden
#

7am is fine

tender kernel
#

I like hot sunny day

karmic garden
#

Haha idk you'd probably be pretty good going for an early morning one

#

Are you aware of where scav boss spawns?

tender kernel
#

Yeah I know the shakala or what is his name

#

With the golden gun

desert hull
#

Rashala yeah

#

gas station and dorms

tender kernel
#

What did I do with his name xd

#

Btw where y'all from?

karmic garden
#

England

#

The scav boss' name is Shakira actually

#

@tender kernel let me guess where you're from

tender kernel
#

ok

karmic garden
#

@tender kernel Slovakia

tender kernel
#

cool

karmic garden
tender kernel
#

I'm only away 50km to Ukraine.

#

So I basically live in Tarkov

karmic garden
#

Haha

#

Have you activated your quests BTW?

tender kernel
#

No. Didn't do anything with that

karmic garden
#

The first prapor quest involves killing scavs on custies

grand crow
#

Should’ve activated the quests

karmic garden
#

So you may as well have it running

proud crane
#

Can you only do quests while on you PMC person? or Scav runs too?

tender kernel
#

Have it

karmic garden
#

@proud crane pmc only, but collection of items can be done on scav

#

Like find x item in raid

#

Not the ones that spawn specifically for the quest

proud crane
#

Makes sense!

cold parrot
#

how the hell do i fix late spawns

#

im consistently spawning in 3-5 minutes late in raid

#

as pmc

karmic garden
#

@cold parrot it's just a thing. Change servers maybe

cold parrot
#

kk

dull cave
#

that picture is like

#

The only Eastern European countries I've been to are Hungary, Czech Republic, and Croatia

cold parrot
#

smh non well developed countries

#

this post was made by the korean gang

karmic garden
#

Are you Korean

tender kernel
#

Yeah Slovakia is pretty undeveloped

tall yew
#

What’s on the ground, @tender kernel? Trash?

tender kernel
#

Yup

I am swedish but moved to korea two years ago at 14

This game gives me PTSD, it's hilarious.

Watched Tarkov beginner videos all night last night. Up early and really want to do my 3rd Raid ever.

bold kernel
#

good luck fella

karmic garden
#

@tall yew go for it man

#

The only way you get good is through experience

#

My top tip is use something to record your fights and watch them back

#

Especially deaths

grand crow
#

I kinda want to play but I don’t want to play at the same time

karmic garden
#

I want to play but I'm dying with flu

grand crow
#

Get well soon

tender kernel
#

Visit Slovakia in someday if you like tarkov lol.

karmic garden
#

Ty

tall yew
#

I think I might. I saw that doing Factory is the best for beginners. Also, just to make sure, if you play as Scav - you can loot, extract, and then use that gear as a PMC?

karmic garden
#

@tall yew factory is good to get pvp, but it's very fast and brutal

grand crow
#

I wouldn’t suggest on Factory

fierce sparrow
#

I think interchange is easier for loot

#

when you start

grand crow
#

But isn’t interchange quite busy now

#

With the Killa quest

karmic garden
#

I think factory is probably a bit too intense for big noobs

#

@grand crow probably lots of sweatlords

fierce sparrow
#

you can look for secret loot point in interchange

karmic garden
#

And streamers

grand crow
#

They fixed the stash underneath the highway right?

fierce sparrow
#

even when time is almost up they're alwais full of good stuff

stark holly
#

Hey Guys, wondered a long time ago, What is actually more important? Armour Value or Armour Points ? and how do both differentate from each other? Is a lvl 5 armour with 0 armour points still better than a lvl 2 with full armour points ? How can I decide on what to take with me? 🧐

fierce sparrow
#

@grand crow dunno

karmic garden
#

Customs is a good first map to learn as it has varied engagement ranges and has a lot of early quests

tall yew
#

Thanks fellas

fierce sparrow
#

I cant get in solo to test that stash

karmic garden
#

@stark holly the lower durability, the more chance to pen

dull cave
#

ackshually

karmic garden
#

So a 10/68 gen 4 assault won't stop much

dull cave
#

some compelling evidence supports the armor system being changed

karmic garden
#

@dull cave oh really?

dull cave
#

saw it on the subreddit

karmic garden
#

Hmm

#

Idk about reddit kappist

stark holly
#

Ok thx mate, so I should always change if my armour is reduced to 0? even if it is just a kappa ? 🧐

#

Gonna check that out, thx bois !

karmic garden
#

Hmm idk about that @dull cave

dull cave
#

what about it dont you know?

karmic garden
#

@stark holly zeroed armour can actually be worse than no armour

desert hull
#

I mean zeroed armor is worse than no armor

#

no exceptions

karmic garden
#

@dull cave it looks like one guy going off anecdotal evidence, but I haven't read it all yet

desert hull
#

armor makes you slower

#

0'd armor makes you slower with no benefit

dull cave
#

anecdotal? watch the video

#

1/1 zhuk6 stops 545ps

#

could just be an edge case

#

but the odds of that are sub 1%

desert hull
#

yes but thats not zero'd

dull cave
#

wasnt talking to you chief

desert hull
#

oof

dull cave
#

❤️

karmic garden
#

@dull cave there are a shit ton of variables here

grand crow
#

Let’s say this 70/70 armor got repaired down to 50/50

#

It just means 50/70?

dull cave
#

there are 2

#

3*

desert hull
#

50/50 = 50/70

#

no difference in usage

dull cave
#

armor, armor health, and bullet

karmic garden
#

I wouldn't be surprised if it was outlier results

desert hull
#

besides that 50/70 can be repaired

dull cave
#

I would

#

considering that would be 0.001% kind of thing

karmic garden
#

@dull cave I killed a player scav who'd spawned with a red card a few weeks back, similar odds

dull cave
#

and?

#

people win the lottery too

karmic garden
#

Anything can happen

dull cave
#

yes

karmic garden
#

That's my point

dull cave
#

you wouldnt be suprised if something that occurs incredibly rarely happens?

karmic garden
#

No

dull cave
#

huh

#

odd

rich cloak
dull cave
#

lma

#

o

karmic garden
#

Because the fact that it's incredibly rare and not impossible means it does happen

dull cave
#

go away drago ❤️

karmic garden
#

But if I see some proper testing and it's proven correct then I'll believe it

#

Otherwise I'm not sure, but sceptical

tender kernel
#

Ok 10am is a good time

#

I am going in the raid boys

grand crow
#

Good luck

karmic garden
#

@tender kernel good luck dude

timber dock
#

AI Scavs don't respawn (ex. in unpopulated areas of the map) during a raid, do they?

ivory parcel
#

Does anyone have any advice for resort on shoreline, it's so dark. I am dying without being able to see my enemies, at best muzzle flashes. Do people go there with NV?

karmic garden
#

@ivory parcel use a flashlight, turn your gamma up

ivory parcel
#

Feels like the flashlight would give away my position too much, no?

karmic garden
#

@ivory parcel it will give you away yes

#

But if you can't see people at all, your monitor is probably not set up right

rich cloak
#

@timber dock they spawn in certain places somewhat regularly

karmic garden
#

Part of it as well is just learning to spot people

timber dock
#

So they do re-populate during raids?

ivory parcel
#

I don't see gamma in graphics settings

karmic garden
#

@ivory parcel on your monitor, not in game

rich cloak
#

@timber dock not really?

#

Like they don't "respawn"

#

But there is certainties where new ones come in

#

So just because you cleared a area at the beginning doesnt mean it's gonna be empty 30 minutes later

#

The courtyard on reserve is a good example of that

timber dock
#

Okay, that sounds like what I mean by "respawn".

#

Essentially, if you wipe the map of Scavs there'll eventually be new ones popping up?

ivory parcel
#

This is not the only game I play. Besides it looks fine outdoors. Thanks for the help anyway. I was just wondering if it's common to bring NV there, and maybe that's why I always lose the spotting game. I guess not

karmic garden
#

@ivory parcel there's a lot of light level contrast in this game, like a lot

#

I have a profile on my monitor that's a bit brighter that I use for interchange, resort etc

#

And it's common to take nvg on night raids there, but it's too bright even indoors on day raids

tender kernel
#

Fricking died in first 3 mins

rich cloak
#

@timber dock I have to honest I'm not 100 percent certain of that being the case on every map. I know that it defnetly is the case on reserves courtyard

karmic garden
#

@tender kernel never mind, just keep trying

grand crow
#

@tender kernel what happened

karmic garden
#

What happened when you died and where were you?

rich cloak
#

@tender kernel I have 250 hours in this game and a survivalrate of about 35 and my average lifespan is 3minutes and 15 seconds. It happens

karmic garden
#

I have an Sr of 70%, but that still means I die in over a quarter of my raids

#

Which is quite a lot really

grand crow
#

😦 I’m only at 25%

coarse plaza
#

Trying to make a present gun but there is no options

plucky goblet
#

did you build the workbench

tender kernel
#

Ok I spawned next to some traintracks with train coupé on it. So I went there someone shot me 3 times and I lived. Then I healed shot me again about 4 times and I lived. And then third party guy joined the fight and killed me with 2 shots.

coarse plaza
#

no, do you need that?

tender kernel
#

I absorbed about 12 shots

karmic garden
#

@tender kernel were you near the big red warehouse?

plucky goblet
#

yes

coarse plaza
#

i have level 1

plucky goblet
#

you do

karmic garden
#

The spawns there get pushed hard

tender kernel
#

It wasn't a coupé but storage train. I don't know the name for it.

karmic garden
#

@coarse plaza when you say no options, so you mean no mods to select?

waxen forge
#

IF so then you need to go to flea and examine every weapon and weapon part

#

Edit preset only works with items that are exaamined

coarse plaza
#

@karmic garden ye

karmic garden
#

@coarse plaza yeah what @waxen forge is correct

coarse plaza
#

I have level 1

karmic garden
#

@tender kernel oh up on the hill?

rich cloak
#

@karmic garden how does it feel to be a God in this game?

tender kernel
#

I think it was on edge of the map

karmic garden
#

@rich cloak I wouldn't know

tender kernel
#

And I saw red warehouse in the distance.

karmic garden
#

@tender kernel yeah that area is kinda funky tbh

rich cloak
#

Bro 70 percent survival rate

#

HOW

waxen forge
#

He doesn't die that much

karmic garden
#

@rich cloak I play factory a lot and I have a lot of experience in the game I guess

rich cloak
#

Bruh

#

I would need to do like 300 back to back extracts to get to that otzGreat otzGreat

grand crow
#

Customs has been fucky for me always

karmic garden
#

@rich cloak you can do it if you believe in yourself! sneaky61FCM

tender kernel
karmic garden
#

Customs can be quite brutal, but I guess tarkov is in general

tender kernel
#

gonna smack everyone

karmic garden
#

Haha nice scoped mosin

kind thunder
#

how do i get my gift?

coarse plaza
#

I just got a m4a1 and a shotgun both fully custom from a guy camping lol

karmic garden
#

@coarse plaza lol nice

coarse plaza
#

as scav

#

xD

grand crow
#

Wow and a keycard too

coarse plaza
#

i spawned with keycard

karmic garden
#

Lol kinda weird m4 build but good job

rich cloak
#

@karmic garden the thing is that I usually don't play smart

coarse plaza
#

ive got 3 so far spawning as scav

karmic garden
#

@coarse plaza that's some solid work

rich cloak
#

I play for fun and pvp

karmic garden
#

@rich cloak I think as long as you have fun, it's all good

kind thunder
#

how do i get my gift?

karmic garden
#

The stats are pretty pointless tbh

rich cloak
#

So my decisions are not what one would call the best ideas

karmic garden
#

@kind thunder log into the website

#

@rich cloak I think it sounds like you play tarkov correctly

coarse plaza
#

its on your profile

grand crow
#

I hope one day I can actively seek for PvP engagements instead of hiding in a bush and running away

karmic garden
#

@grand crow what level are you?

grand crow
#

8

#

To be fair I dont play the game much

karmic garden
#

@grand crow buy vepr hunter on flea and chase shots

waxen forge
#

This game is all about experience

karmic garden
#

You'll be a pvp god in no time

waxen forge
#

I'd take an experienced guy with mediocre gear over a noob with top tier kit every time

karmic garden
#

@waxen forge agree

grand crow
#

Yep I got a vepr hunter that I got with a Long scope and a rds on it

#

Pretty successful with it so far killing scavs and a few players that I caught by surprise

karmic garden
#

@grand crow at the same time or you have both sights for it

grand crow
#

Same time

karmic garden
#

How did you put two sights on a vepr hunter

timber dock
#

Is there an easily digestible list of loot one should keep an eye out for as a newbie?

karmic garden
#

Or do you mean you have a hamr or bravo on it with a dot on top

grand crow
#

Not in game now but it’s

#

The long scope is slightly to the left

#

I got it from a video hang on

karmic garden
#

@timber dock not really. Check the flea to see what things sell for

grand crow
timber dock
#

👍

waxen forge
#

Should check flea price HOWEVER if flea price does not beat trader price (including TAX) then sell to trader. You need to Level Traders and part of that require you to Spend with them

#

After flea it's Therapist>Skier>Mechanic

karmic garden
#

Oh with the front sight mount

rich cloak
#

Don't make you hunter into a sniper people

#

Accuracy is poopoo now

#

Get a m700

tender kernel
#

Ok I died again with scav

karmic garden
#

Tbh I'd rather have a valday or elcan on a vepr

bold kernel
#

Is the game broke again

grand crow
#

Oh did they change it?

#

I mainly just use the long scope to check out stuff from far

#

I can’t see shit

karmic garden
#

I wouldn't bother with the scope tbh

#

Just squint kappist

grand crow
#

Haha

#

I’ll give it a go without the scope

fickle kettle
#

you guys should try out the new VPO waw

bold kernel
#

Hi ! I want to play offline, but I can't, i'm stuck at "local game starting" .-.

open basin
#

it's broken 😄

bold kernel
#

uh

karmic garden
#

@fickle kettle it's the new meta

sweet heath
#

Hey all, is offline mode working? OR still broken?

open basin
#

broken means it doesnt work

waxen forge
#

In an effort to fix some exploits they have kinda broken Offline

#

Not working at the moment

sweet heath
#

Oh its broken I guess

tender kernel
#

Which map is good for pistol?

waxen forge
#

None

tender kernel
#

Maybe factory?

waxen forge
#

Non really

bold kernel
#

so, I'm supposed to start by directly doing raids ? lol

waxen forge
#

I started by directly doing raids

bold kernel
#

okay

waxen forge
#

Many many people did

bold kernel
#

Okay, I will try to not get killed

#

I will just take a pistol I think

waxen forge
#

Is is the "best" option. Maybe not but it's what we used

bold kernel
#

okay, thanks a lot

waxen forge
#

First thing with EFT to put in mind. RESET EXPECTATIONS. Do well at other shooters like Battlefield, COD, Rainbow, etc. Forget that here. This game is brutal and especially so for new people.

#

Experience is rewarded and you will die and get pissed in the beginning

#

You will say people are hacking and you are getting killed within 20 seconds and it's shit

#

You are not dying to weapons. You are dying to EXPERIENCE

plucky goblet
#

the getting pissed because of dying started like a year after i started playing for me lul

bold kernel
#

Okay ! I'm gonna start a raid !

waxen forge
#

When name is blue it worked

#

Bot can be slow though so give it a minute. If not blue in 20 minutes @ a MOD

bold kernel
#

Ok

#

ah, it's done

Hello all, I am new and I am not having very good luck in my raids

karmic garden
#

@weary elm don't worry, everyone starts like that

long spear
#

well if you always had very good luck you would learn very slowly

karmic garden
#

Find an experienced player to do some raids with

#

It'll help you a lot

reef prairie
#

hi. what does "average life span" in the statistics mean?

waxen forge
#

I honestly thing the average lifespan stat is broken.

reef prairie
#

yeah, it is

#

was at 1 minute something yesterday and now its 54 minutes

waxen forge
#

My stat says 2:25 and that can't be correct.

tribal cove
waxen forge
#

Yea think mine said 40 minutes or so a week or 2 ago

reef prairie
#

should that be the average time in raids?

waxen forge
#

Yea

#

I believe

reef prairie
#

the stats need some overhauling

waxen forge
#

I believe the survival rate is correct

#

And the game lifetime stat

timber dock
#

What does the "Increases loot detection radius" bonus from Perception actually do for you?

reef prairie
#

are the stats for the pmc or scav and pmc?

waxen forge
#

PMC

vagrant mirage
#

what do you use snipers for exept exit camping?

waxen forge
#

Loot detection is how far away you can be before the little white dot shows up.

reef prairie
#

@vagrant mirage shooting people

vagrant mirage
#

oh shit

#

didnt think about that

waxen forge
#

I'm not a douchebag so I don't exit camp

timber dock
#

@waxen forge there's a white dot that indicates available loot? 😮

rich cloak
#

@vagrant mirage you might be surprised to hear it but sniping people who actually anticipate it is a lot of fun

fervent cliff
#

do i just have to sit and wait for my dude to heal after i die?

rich cloak
#

@timber dock if you look into a items general direction Yes

waxen forge
#

Yea when you are close enough

#

Go to therapist. Buy cheese. Heal @fervent cliff

rich cloak
#

@fervent cliff you can heal outside of a raid but it's pricy

reef prairie
#

do a scav run while youre pmc is healing

weary elm
#

does your pmc heal over time?

#

ive used all my cheese healing him

timber dock
#

Build a Medstation in the hideout?

reef prairie
#

you can increase the healing rate with the med station in the hideout

long spear
#

if you are lvl 5 buy a grizzly first aid kit if you want to heal outside of raids

#

dont use cheese

waxen forge
#

Yes you heal over time

weary elm
#

im lvl 3#

#

by examining items and dying a lot

#

only have 2 scav kills

timber dock
#

One of us.

weary elm
#

and like 7 or 8 deaths

waxen forge
#

Dying a lot is typical for new people

fervent cliff
#

pretty sure i fucked two players before dying. do npc people loot bodies?

waxen forge
#

Player scavs and players loot

#

Ai do not

fervent cliff
#

ok

#

so they where players then

grand crow
#

I died to dehydration

long spear
#

but...you're the milklord

compact basin
#

Your profile pictures sums it @grand crow

No cows in Tarkov

Any way to make the item tooltips instantly pop up?

half bison
#

Is there any use for empty expeditionary fuel tanks?

split vapor
#

You can craft them into Mag Boxes in the shitter lvl2

#

@half bison

fickle kettle
#

use them craft mag boxes

grand crow
#

I think maybe having a camelbak would be pretty cool

mortal narwhal
#

@split vapor thanks

tall yew
#

Well this is not going well lol. Going into raids with no armor and pistols only

reef prairie
#

the description of the mag for the vpo-215 says "10 round capacity", but it only takes 4. is the description wrong or the mag bugged?

split vapor
#

someone was tired when making the name for it

#

those things wont fit 10 of those rounds

reef prairie
#

i didnt pay attention and thought 10 rounds is not bad, so i bought a bunch thinking

split vapor
#

its also a shit rifle

reef prairie
#

yeah

split vapor
#

dont bother

reef prairie
#

the rifle feels not bad, the ammo is crap

bold kernel
#

where do i convert my euros to roubles?

split vapor
#

sell them on Flea cause they readded the feature a while ago

bold kernel
#

Thank you!

fervent cliff
#

how do i rotate items in the inventory?

split vapor
#

R

fervent cliff
#

cheers

split vapor
#

karmic garden
#

R for Rotate the DiRection of This Item

Hence the keybind

fervent cliff

karmic garden
#

Using a headset ingame makes it quieter

fervent cliff
#

ah i see

#

do they all do the same thing?

#

or are there better headsets

karmic garden
#

Yeah they all do it a bit differently

#

It's personal preference, I like the sordins the best

I’m assuming you are talking about the in-game CPU fan?

If otherwise, then it’s used to cool down your CPU

@warm rover The Steiner from PK LL3 may have blue, I can't remember.

sturdy badge
#

is drinking condensed milk still an effective way to skill stress resistance and health?

#

and how does the new cap work?

trim herald
#

There isn't any effective ways anymore with the recent changes. After you get points from it you rapidly decrease the points you get

warm rover
#

Cos I saw shroud rocking it I thought it was good imo

trim herald
#

So the best way is probably still standing in a fire, but only for like 30 sec and then waiting next to it for a couple of min for the diminishing returns to reset

#

Otherwise, just playing the game should do the trick eventually

split vapor
#

idk Exe it may be useful now

havent used it since day 1

I got 8/10 stress resistance already and after they reduced the quest i thought i might try to fasten it up

@warm rover It's fine, but you want AP 6.3 ammo or just go for legs all day

@warm rover no use ap or nothing

@trim herald ok. Same for an SVDS?

Probably flea for svd

ADAR's unless you're using 855A1 or 995

Other than that take out the mags and grips

AK's are also pretty poor without BS/BP/BT

@trim herald excuse me?

trim herald

You're excused

tribal cove

I use the best ammo always

How the fuck is adar bad?

tribal cove

I should sell the stock mosin also

Adar is amazing

tribal cove
#

i agree

trim herald

Then get rid of the Archangel Mosin, the stock is awful. AKMS is also quite poor

Oh my

@rich cloak do you mean the ak-74U?

I am so sorry rommel

With top tier ammo, yes. Without top tier ammo, no

I read it as useless not unless

Fuck sorry friend

@tribal cove yeah AK 74u is the worst 74 variant

tribal cove
#

ok

trim herald

Honestly though, other than the Archangel Mosin and the AKMS the rest of the guns are fine with good ammo

rich cloak
#

Take off the mods and sell it

split vapor
#

arch trash

#

well

trim herald
#

Just depends on how you play

split vapor
#

mosin shit in general

rich cloak
#

It's fine but it's not worth 40k

trim herald
#

That's so not true though, Mosin's are excellent rifles

#

Way better than the M700 in everything but coolness factor

rich cloak
#

Sv98 cheaper and better

#

Excuse me?

#

How

trim herald
#

Better ammo, same performance

split vapor
#

mosin was meh a long time ago, but not smart reddit eft players said the mosin was op and was stat nerfed into oblvion but it was really just people using 7n1

rich cloak
#

That's arguable but Stat wise the m700 should be a lot better

split vapor
#

700 is best

warm rover
#

sv-98 is cheap cos you gotta do a quest for pk

rich cloak
#

Yeah

#

And it's still better stats

split vapor
#

sv98 best

#

and now since svd suppressor

#

oh mein gott

rich cloak
#

Oh God

#

Shoot

#

Are you really?

trim herald
#

The only stat that really matters is erg and while you can get slightly better erg on the M700, it's not going to make a massive difference. But instead you're missing out on 72/70 rounds

split vapor
#

700 Gen 3 chassis

trim herald
#

I prefer the Mod X

split vapor
#

AICS good too

trim herald
#

I prefer to use the M700 over the Mosin, but only because it looks way cooler. Not because it actually performs any better due to the .308 rounds being weaker than 762x54R

7N1 can one tap a T5 chest

Which is kinda not relevant

so ye 54r is better

rich cloak
#

So does m80

karmic garden
#

Less reliably

sturdy badge
#

M80 only pens T4

split vapor
#

same with m80

#

can one tap 5

sturdy badge
#

can

trim herald
#

M80 does not 1tap lvl 5 reliably

split vapor
#

7n1 canalso

karmic garden
#

M80 can pen t5 but it's like 37%

trim herald
#

7N1 does it 100% of the time

karmic garden
#

However in practice m80 goes through often

trim herald
#

Also against lvl 6 there's a rather large difference

karmic garden
#

As often as I remove anime

#

Do we know anything about the new ammo yet?

trim herald
#

Yeah, the new x54R is 72/70

I'm looking forward to the exact values of the new ammotypes

use it or lose it

@tender kernel I'd always expect more than one when you play, if you can't find anyone else they're probably hiding and camping the corpse waiting for you to go to loot it

#

@hidden meteor Why not? This is so confusing lol I'm getting contradicting info everywhere

trim herald
#

@proper ginkgo I'd just use the gear you have if you're still level 1, honestly

proper ginkgo
#

@trim herald All I have is pistols...

#

Here is the deal. Gear is not going to save you. You are lacking EXPERIENCE. You will die with good gear too

#

It's a hard fact to stomach

tender kernel
#

@trim herald I do that. But in every situation I do get killed by someone

waxen forge
#

But it's a fact

#

Scav run to get loot/kits

hidden meteor
#

@proper ginkgo This is my tip for you. Do scav runs then offline or just hatchet run the maps. Repeat this until you've learn the map that you like and you find a profitable looting route.

waxen forge
#

Don't look for fights as a scav

#

Just loot and exfil

#

I'm asking about what are good cheap guns to use.

broken briar
#

EZ -3.5 MIL CASH EZ CLAP

hidden meteor
#

James dont use guns right now

#

u dont need to buy anything

waxen forge
#

Scav in and get a kit. Run to exfil

#

Use that kit

proper ginkgo
#

When I get loot from scav running, what guns should I keep to use as a PMC

waxen forge
#

At this point all of them

proper ginkgo
#

@waxen forge Exactly. What's a good kit and what isn't

hidden meteor
#

Nah dont even use that kit

waxen forge
#

THERE IS NOT GOOD KIT WITH NO EXPERIENCE

hidden meteor
#

I'd say sell it

waxen forge
#

Just use what you can get your hands on

trim herald
#

@proper ginkgo Right, good kits early would be VEPR Hunters, Mosins

#

Armour at lvl 3+ is excellent, but any armour is better than none

proper ginkgo
#

What are cheap items that I should use though. So I know what's garbage and what's too insanely expensive to use and I'll sell that stuff.

#

so an ADAR with M4 Upper is full auto right?

hidden meteor
#

Here i'll message you the tips james

frail forum
#

basically an M4

#

?

trim herald
#

@frail forum M4 lower

frick

#

lol

waxen forge
#

Just use anything you get your hands on

#

Use scav to loot tech/PC's in Interchange

#

Get out and sell it all. Easy $

#

But what I am saying is that Gear is not the answer to dying really. I will take an experienced player with piss poor gear over a new player with top tier gear.

#

Because new people don't know when to move, when to stop, when to run, where to run.

#

When you get flea you can buy an AKM from flea

#

Until then use baby Ak, Mosin, or what you get on scav run

trim herald
#

I wouldn't go for an AKM though, it's really expensive for a pretty poor gun early

waxen forge
#

AKM is not a bad weapon. 7.62 and moddable

proper ginkgo
#

What should I do as a brand new player when I play PMC

trim herald
#

And incredibly expensive with really high recoil
