[floral fractal]

pretty much all those valuables are for the scav thing

[waxen forge]

Many people start collecting task items day 1...then buy the Lucky Scav Junk box (therapist level 2) to store them in. That way when we get tasks we can just turn the items in instead of just starting to farm them

[upbeat flax]

scav junkbox kinda useless

kewk

[waxen forge]

I used 2 this wipe

[upbeat flax]

used 0

[waxen forge]

That's less

[hallow thicket]

should i just focus tasks?

[waxen forge]

Tasks yes

[floral fractal]

i just saved for the normal case

[hallow thicket]

because ive just been fighting

[waxen forge]

You don't "have to" do hideout

[upbeat flax]

"normal case"

[waxen forge]

But I would upgrade the Workbench

[floral fractal]

shut up im level 8

[hallow thicket]

is the prapor second quest pretty easy

[upbeat flax]

okay so

[waxen forge]

Then examine every weapon and weapon part of Flea...so You can right click on a weapon and do EDIT PRESET to mod easier

[upbeat flax]

you are lvl 8. hatchet running labs on 2.1 million?

kekw

[floral fractal]

it works

all it takes is 1 graphics card which is common

[upbeat flax]

and

[hallow thicket]

why do you need a card lmao

[upbeat flax]

all it takes is 1 bullet

[waxen forge]

can make money easier on other maps without paying to get in

[upbeat flax]

don't even say that

first off

don't be a fucking retard and hatchet run

[floral fractal]

i dont know those other maps

[upbeat flax]

KEKW

[hallow thicket]

how many uses does a keycard have @waxen forge

[upbeat flax]

1

[floral fractal]

ive played labs enough to know the spots

[steady pilot]

One

[waxen forge]

White labs entry card is 1 use

[hallow thicket]

one

[waxen forge]

Some keys (factory) have limited uses.

[steady pilot]

So sell it for 200k

[hallow thicket]

that sucks

[waxen forge]

Most other keys unlimited

[hallow thicket]

yeah

fuck that

why would i do that lmao

200k vs literally one raid lol

[upbeat flax]

labs is weird

[steady pilot]

Cause the map has items worth over 500-1mil

[upbeat flax]

labs is special

yeah

[hallow thicket]

wtf

im not good enough so

[waxen forge]

It's and "end game" map

[hallow thicket]

yeah

[upbeat flax]

raiders can have 500 dollars / euros in their pockets even

[hallow thicket]

im just going to die lmao

[steady pilot]

Before you sell the card

[waxen forge]

Idea is you pay to get in...then can loot high tier shit and make your money back plus another 300-600K

[steady pilot]

@hallow thicketbefore you sell it, go to labs, click offline mode. Go explore

[waxen forge]

However you have to survive or you lose the kit you took in and the cost entry

[hallow thicket]

how come?

ok

just put it in my container and it will let me in?

[waxen forge]

Yes

[hallow jewel]

what ammo should i buy for m9a3 ?

[steady pilot]

Because prapor isnt paying 200k to grab your shit

labs run no.2

[upbeat flax]

okay lvl 8 hatchet runner with 2.1 mil

[finite dew]

So my peacekeeper says that i need .3 rep for level 3. I have like .6 reputation and money spent and all that and I still access level 3 peacekeeper

[waxen forge]

It's a bug

[hallow thicket]

ok im loading in offline

with no pve lol

[steady pilot]

@hallow thicket you just need the card on your person. Offline mode doesnt have any scavs unless you enable PvE. It doesnt use the card in offline mode. Go explore before you sell it

[waxen forge]

IF you have really met all requirements then restart game and it should clear. if not just wait and it'll clear

[hallow thicket]

yeah ik

im loading in

i cant wait to find some really really rare shit in offline mode lmao

do i put the card on flea market or what

[steady pilot]

Spawns are very reduced

Yes it should sell at 200k

[upbeat flax]

not really

the spawns are now aids in offline mode

[steady pilot]

That's what said?

[upbeat flax]

by aids i mean good dumb.

[steady pilot]

[primal path]

im trying to purchase the game atm and it keeps saying card declined

[upbeat flax]

some people found shit in spots it shouldn't spawn

[steady pilot]

@primal pathgotta use PayPal

[primal path]

i check my debit history and the payment goes through but is immediately refuned

[steady pilot]

Your card company will decline buying a russian game

[primal path]

really

damn

[hallow thicket]

lmao

i used debit

it worked

[short hornet]

hey quick question.
Is it possible for other players to join after the raid has started? Like if I know that all other players are either dead or have extracted, I can assume that I wont encounter other players right?

[hallow thicket]

where do i even use the keycard @steady pilot

[steady pilot]

@hallow thicket your bank has shitty security then

[hallow thicket]

im walking aroudn

[steady pilot]

[hallow thicket]

around

[upbeat flax]

@short hornet player scavs

[steady pilot]

@hallow thicket it's an ENTRY

card

[upbeat flax]

entry card

[hallow thicket]

into where

[tribal cove]

Should I start using nades? As a lvl 10

[hallow thicket]

or what

[upbeat flax]

that's what lets you even play the map

[hallow thicket]

just to get in

[upbeat flax]

BRUH

[steady pilot]

The Labs

[hallow thicket]

oh

[upbeat flax]

yeah

[hallow thicket]

ok

[steady pilot]

[hallow thicket]

but i still have it wtf gamed

game

[upbeat flax]

you should always use nades kekw

[hallow thicket]

shouldnt it use even though im offline

[tribal cove]

Oke

[steady pilot]

Were you not listening

[upbeat flax]

it doesn't use it up in offline mode for.. obvious reasons

[steady pilot]

To anything i said

[tribal cove]

Is there a big difference between them?

Which would you suggest?

[steady pilot]

@tribal cove read the grenades

It tells you

The differences

[tribal cove]

Oke

[hallow thicket]

well i thought it would use and then when i leave my shit gets given back

ya know

[young drum]

any good but budget grip for adar?

[steady pilot]

Any grip you want

[upbeat flax]

most grips are below 10k

[late jewel]

my download wont start

[steady pilot]

I use rvg on a lot of guns cause it's very balanced ratio

@late jewel #community-support

[finite dew]

sounds like there is a fire crackling while i play

dumb annoying

[steady pilot]

Dont have this issue

[fickle kettle]

are you in australia ?

and is your house on fire or somthing ?

[upper vine]

anybody want to do some customs?

[steady pilot]

#pvp-lfg

[steel current]

im down

[upper vine]

customs6

[shadow solstice]

are scavs more difficult in offline mode? I want to do my first online mode but I still have lots of trouble in offline mode where scavs either injure me badly or get the upper hand.

[waxen forge]

Nope

[steady pilot]

Scav difficulty is normal unless you change the parameters

[waxen forge]

Scavs will kill you online too

[patent arrow]

How common are labs cheaters? A dude stood afk while I magddumped 60 m995 rounds into his helmet

Or is that just servers buggin out

[waxen forge]

Scavs aren't a joke here...especially for rookies\

[fickle kettle]

server bugg

[upbeat flax]

scavs are jokes

[patent arrow]

Dude still killed me when he got back on though

[steady pilot]

Scavs are harder to deal with than players tbh

[patent arrow]

lol

[steady pilot]

Players play like simpletons

[upbeat flax]

but hatchlings are even bigger jokes

[steady pilot]

[fickle kettle]

that mean you are the lagging 1

[waxen forge]

For new people everyone is going to kill them

[patent arrow]

I never got a ping notif though, normally running lower than 20

[hallow thicket]

are they planning on adding vault

vault mechanic

[waxen forge]

Maybe

[fickle kettle]

Nikita like surprises so you will never know

[waxen forge]

I can see it being added...not sure where it would be on the timeline

[hallow thicket]

yeah

when is next wipe

[waxen forge]

They've talked about compass with .13 and VOIP

Wipes are with big content update. THERE IS NOT ANNOUNCED WIPE DATE

[hallow thicket]

ok do i sell my keycard to flee market?

[waxen forge]

However some speculation is March

If you are level 5

Right click on keycard and Filter by item

See what lowest price is

Add Offer near that price

[steady pilot]

Keycard is a hot item

You can sell for early 200k

[mellow stag]

I have 3 keycards

[hallow thicket]

damn

[mellow stag]

they are used for the LABS raid right?

[waxen forge]

To get in

For the white ones

Others are to open doors once inside

[hallow thicket]

the lowest price is 10k but they also want like 10 chocolate bars and some other shit

[fickle kettle]

what is the point of new player asking when wipe ?

[steady pilot]

People sell it for 140k and shit, but if you see a lot of pending cards up to 200k it will sell for any amount till the solid offers

[waxen forge]

No barter

Actual cash

[hallow thicket]

yeah

is there a way to see

[waxen forge]

Daddy is correct. You can post for 190-200K and it will sell

[steady pilot]

[waxen forge]

At bottom of the window you can change from default 15 items per page to 100

[mossy hedge]

So I was using offline to help get my bearings on maps and practice my aim and stuff, but I feel like there are way more scavs on offline, even with the setting for number of scavs selected "As Online". I was at dorms and killed 15 scavs that just kept coming in waves. Sure im alone in the map so no one else has killed any but still felt like so many coming at me so quickly.

[waxen forge]

Then SCROLL DOWN past the barter offers

Or hit cog wheel and remove barter items

[ripe linden]

Are there any good 'you're a new player and this is the road to better inventory management' guides?

[hallow thicket]

oh

ok

i didnt know

[steady pilot]

@mossy hedge scav horde mode. Basically you got "tagged/cursed" and they keep flocking to your location

Doesnt matter anyway

It's good practice

[waxen forge]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLCQMibVJ6A

[mossy hedge]

Oh ok, is that just a random thing? Can it happen in normal games too?

[waxen forge]

Not necessarily inventory management but beginner guide

[steady pilot]

@ripe linden deadly slob and pestily make good begginer guides. You have to figure out your own preferences and what's budget

[ripe linden]

I'll take it, anything is better than nothing.

[inner glacier]

Is there any way to find out if you died to a player or a player scav?

[hallow thicket]

is it maxin gout at 100k?

[primal path]

how the hell do i download the launcher

[hallow thicket]

i put in 200000 and it put in 100k

[ripe linden]

I'm mostly concerned with finding space for all my loot

[steady pilot]

@primal path the profile where you bought the game

[waxen forge]

Player will say killed by name...scav names are in russian

To tell if you were killed by player scav or AI scav no

[ripe linden]

I see the streamers with an inventory that's practically half empty and I'm struggling to find space for guns I fin din scavs

[primal path]

how long does it take for a purchase to be processed?

[waxen forge]

Sell stuff

[hallow thicket]

like 5 mins

it will email u

[hallow thicket]

and then you go to your profile on website

[steady pilot]

You can store guns

Like this

[ripe linden]

Ya I think I just need to learn what to sell and what to hoard

[fickle kettle]

get a mag case delta

[hallow thicket]

delta

delta i cant sell it for 200k it only lets me do 100

[steady pilot]

@fickle kettle no it's my svd case

[ripe linden]

I'm only level 6 so I'm just learning the flea market and all the crap I need to build/buy

[fickle kettle]

Delta just get a Svd mag case

[steady pilot]

No I use pistol cases anyway

Mag cases are trash

[hallow thicket]

delta pls help

i cant sell it for 200k for some reason

[patent arrow]

Can I change default firemode?

[fickle kettle]

howm nay rouble you have now ?

[patent arrow]

Keep getting raped due to the default demi

[trim herald]

wtf, how are mag cases trash?

[patent arrow]

semi*

[waxen forge]

https://gamepedia.cursecdn.com/escapefromtarkov_gamepedia/1/19/QuestItemRequirements.png. @ripe linden

[patent arrow]

Thats aids

[waxen forge]

Task items

[steady pilot]

@patent arrowppress B like every other game

[ripe linden]

❤️

[trim herald]

Go into the hideout and go to the firing range

[waxen forge]

I never used mag cases or pistol cases

I don't hoard mags

[trim herald]

Once you've changed the fire mode once on a gun it'll stay on whatever you change it to

[steady pilot]

If it's a civilian weapon it will be semi only

[upbeat flax]

or just

[patent arrow]

Welp there goes all my $ because I tried semi auto magdumping a dude whos back was faced to me

lol

[fickle kettle]

@patent arrow do you even look at your setting ?

[upbeat flax]

check your firemode at the start of the raid

[steady pilot]

Semi is. Better than full auto bud

[hallow thicket]

@steady pilot i tried to enter the keycard at 200k rubles but it put in 100k am i supposed to deal in usd or something

[upbeat flax]

daddy

[patent arrow]

For CqC magdumping, im sure semi auto mp7 is better

😉

[upbeat flax]

getting really opinionated here

[trim herald]

@waxen forge Saves time to have a bunch of mags ready compared to buying them, especially when a lot of mags are limited supply

[fickle kettle]

@hallow thicket i asked you how much rouble do you have rn bruh

[steady pilot]

Controlled shots > magdumping like a cod kiddie

[fickle kettle]

it could because of the taxes

[patent arrow]

CqC should always be magdumped

[hallow thicket]

250k avi

[waxen forge]

I have a few in rigs at bottom of the stash...just don't find mag cases or pistol cases to be useful....others like them

[patent arrow]

In no competitive shooter i've ever played was controlled-fully-auto frowned upon

[steady pilot]

I can tapfire in cqc just fine.

[patent arrow]

takes more skill if anything

[fickle kettle]

[upbeat flax]

well

you can

[patent arrow]

I had weak af rounds that needed to destroy armor

[hallow thicket]

i entered in 200k and it literally automatically put in 100k

[upbeat flax]

but some people just have.. the care to just full auto?

[waxen forge]

Yea that doesn't happen\

[patent arrow]

Fully auto is superior to semi, just takes more skill

Good players can magdump across hallways

[steady pilot]

[waxen forge]

Full auto 7.62 not advised unless really close range

[upbeat flax]

daddy

you're really getting opinionated here

[patent arrow]

daddy

[hallow thicket]

nvm

it worked this time

wtf

well if i have a gun in full auto im using full auto at close range lol

[waxen forge]

You did something wrong the first time

[fallen harness]

[waxen forge]

Whatever floats you boat. I may or may not depending on circumstances

[hallow thicket]

oh yeah

do not use 762 at full auto

i tried that with FAL

did not work

lmao

yeah i was shooting the damn ceiling

[steady pilot]

I mean with 762 you dont need full auto. Usually 1 round of m80 one shots someone in the chest.

It pens lvl 4 armor

[hallow thicket]

oh yeah 2 shots fal works most of the time to the chest

full auto isnt needed

[steady pilot]

Rarely lvl 5 now with nerf. But it also has high armor dmg

Also most helmets are lvl 4

Tactec lvl 5

[upbeat flax]

tactec covers the chin tho

kekw

it's fucking dumb

[hallow thicket]

bruh if you say jut aim for the head you are tarded

[inner glacier]

What's my prio with my first PMC runs? Scav runs going well. just dont see the need to risk a PMC run yet idk

[dense pine]

wow, my brother just extracted with 14 total hitpoints, 5 blacked body sections, a stomach bleed and a broken leg

sorry, 13 hp

[hallow thicket]

ben get a friend to play with you

it makes the game way better like believe me

[inner glacier]

None of them can afford the game 💔

[hallow thicket]

its more fun plus you win more firefights

[waxen forge]

Pick up Prapor first task...then work on that

Also can start Therapist first task

[inner glacier]

thanks @waxen forge will do

[waxen forge]

Go into raid with a plan. So for Prapor...I need to go to customs and kill 5 scavs.

[hallow thicket]

ok how do i make it show it doesnt show bartered deals in flea market

[steady pilot]

Cog wheel

[hallow jewel]

question! I have standard edition and bought the edge of darkness. it says it is 56€. i go to paypal and it says 73€... why?

[waxen forge]

If they have shotguns MP133 I will take them because I need them for the task

[nimble niche]

hey guys, is there an easy way to find ammo / mags for your guns?

[hearty sky]

why is ifak more valuable then salewa?

[waxen forge]

Buy from traders

[steady pilot]

@hearty sky1x1 slot

[nimble niche]

yeah i know to buy, but because i'm new / dont recognise all the ammo types yet, wondered if there was an easier way to do it

[waxen forge]

@nimble niche but ammo from prapor or other traders as well as mags.

[steady pilot]

!ammo

[tribal robin]

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Ballistics

[steady pilot]

@nimble niche

Gotta learn

Spend 15mins learning ammo

[frail portal]

Where's best place to camp in resort for punisher pt 4?

[nimble niche]

yeah thats fair enough, got nothing against learning, just wanted to know if that was the only way

thanks guys

[hallow thicket]

im still confused on what to keep lol

[waxen forge]

#521628660298678283 and #news-setup

[hallow thicket]

i want to trade with mechanic bro his guns are sick

[trim herald]

If you're good at controlling the recoil spraying is always better than tap firing

At close range

[autumn flame]

Anyone wanna bring a noob around and show him how this game all works? :p

[trim herald]

As you lose no accuracy and gain more rounds on target

[waxen forge]

Keep task items or Hideout items if you want to ...if not sell everything you aren't using.

[hallow thicket]

im pretty good at base game but i suck at hideout and trading and all that

[stray arch]

about BP depot if i die after installing 1 device do i need to do it again or it saved ?

[hallow thicket]

and weapon modding

[trim herald]

Check the task 😄

[steady pilot]

@stray arch saved unless quest tells you it's a failure

[fickle kettle]

@hallow jewel could because of VAT

[stray arch]

thank you

[hallow jewel]

@fickle kettle yea just saw that RN. ty anyways!

[inner glacier]

Is Ak 74u too good to take into my first pmc run? Should I just go with Makarov?

[waxen forge]

Baby AK is fine

[trim herald]

If you've played offline and feel somewhat confident, go with the AKS

[frail portal]

Where's the best place to camp in the shoreline resort for punisher pt 4?

[trim herald]

If you've not played offline, do that first 😄

[hallow thicket]

i love ak47u

its nice

i killed my first pmc with it

[trim herald]

Honestly just getting there first, @frail portal

[hallow thicket]

full auto fucked his face up lol

[steady pilot]

@inner glacier go with a veprkm

[trim herald]

East wing is often the most contested

[steady pilot]

Its 9-13k

[tribal cove]

On prapor's task to kill 15 scavs on woods do I need to do it as a pmc?

[steady pilot]

On market

[inner glacier]

If my char dies/gets wounded, do I need to heal it or smth after run?

[steady pilot]

Yes

[tribal cove]

Ok

[steady pilot]

If you want

[hallow thicket]

i fucking hate vepr

[trim herald]

@tribal cove Yeah

[inner glacier]

I haven't unlocked market yet @steady pilot 😦

[trim herald]

And yes, @inner glacier

[steady pilot]

@hallow thicketbetter than a pistol by a mile

[inner glacier]

jesus, that must get costly

[hallow thicket]

ig but its so bad lmao

[inner glacier]

(healing, not buying weapons)

[steady pilot]

Not really

[fickle kettle]

try this, pretty cheap

[trim herald]

It can be rough early on but you can always do scav runs

RK-2?

For a beginner gun?

[steady pilot]

The the 762 Ps rounds are really strong against scavs and low-mid tier players

[trim herald]

The 30k attachment?

Just get an RK-0 or someshit

[fickle kettle]

it 20k

[hallow jewel]

is there any cheap good setup?

to beginners?

[inner glacier]

I mean, also cant mod items yet

[hallow jewel]

really need to pass some time watching tutorials

[steady pilot]

If you're saying recoil is the issue then you that sounds like a personal problem

[frosty plinth]

just take a vepr km in with PS ammo

[steel current]

can any sherpas join the beginners assistance chat to help some noobies out

[waxen forge]

https://youtu.be/zLCQMibVJ6A

[upbeat flax]

@split vapor

[hallow jewel]

@waxen forge beautifull. love u

[fickle kettle]

ah rip @inner glacier den beware of the kick

because af 74u kick very hard

[inner glacier]

ok

[steady pilot]

@waxen forge link pestily beginner tip guide first

[hallow jewel]

you can link all. down to watch while i eat

[waxen forge]

To mod....get to level 5...upgrade workbench in Hideout.....go to flea and Examine all weapons and weapon parts (yes it is boring and takes time but is worth it). Right click on the weapon and EDIT PRESET. Happy modding

[autumn flame]

ak74u is pretty bad without mods i feel like. Staying on target on medium range will be difficult

[fickle kettle]

eat while watching i see

[frosty plinth]

@steel current you can request a sherpa through official channels, this is just a chat room

[steady pilot]

Aks74u is the most ass gun

Shitty platform on top of shitty rounds

[hallow jewel]

still waiting for my account to get upgraded :S

[waxen forge]

They'll get there. Kinda busy

[fickle kettle]

it cant help it

his 1st raid

[hallow jewel]

yeap

[steady pilot]

Like any 545 gun without 545 BS or BT you will have a bad time

[fickle kettle]

he have to bring something

[autumn flame]

I mean, BS bullets and the right mods it can be a very effective cheap gun

[steady pilot]

Ak74m is literally 20-25k

Ak74 isn15k

If you like short barrels, the ak105 exists

[autumn flame]

Welp, i just can't let go of the gun though. Been my favourite since BC2 :I

[steady pilot]

The control and accuracy of the gun is horrible

The ak105 is literally a modern aks74u

[autumn flame]

Cool, thanks for sharing! Will check it out right away!

[steady pilot]

Granite that's a 104

Looks the same

[inner glacier]

What's the flashlight key lads?

[autumn flame]

T

[steady pilot]

T

Ctrl T to change settings

[soft tartan]

At what time does the sun rise and fall in Tarkov ?

[patent arrow]

My tarkov keeps loading after I left a raid, can I restart my game with all my gear still on my pmc?

[fickle kettle]

server is being silly

[dusty garnet]

hello gamers, i have just bought tarkov a few days ago and learned enough about the controls and customs map to feel comfortable trying to run around as pistol pmc doing 5 scav task

is this the place to find fellow noobs to squad up with

[steady pilot]

#pvp-lfg

[fickle kettle]

sadly no

[dusty garnet]

ah i see, ty

[patent arrow]

Who do I sell grenades to?

[steady pilot]

Prapor

[patent arrow]

ty

[fickle kettle]

why when you gonna use them

[autumn flame]

Is there a way to hold your breath when you scope?

[steady pilot]

Alt

Change it to shift🤷

I did

[autumn flame]

Ahh, thanks. Yea, that would be more natural lol

[steady pilot]

For myself, I did Free Look alt, shift ads hold breath, scroll wheel to change zero, mouse 3/4 to change optics/zoom.

[dusty garnet]

do I need to extract to get killed scavs experience for prapor first task or just kill them

[steady pilot]

Cause alt rmb and ctrl rmb were dumb lol

@dusty garnetjust kill. Everything is tracked

[dusty garnet]

excellent

[dull cave]

@steady pilot insulting muh 545? "aks74u is the most ass gun. shitty playform on top of shitty rounds"

[steady pilot]

Bet

[trim herald]

I mean the rounds are good, I just can't stand the AKS as a rifle

[dull cave]

whats wrong with 545

[steady pilot]

After all.my wipes I played the rifle and the caliber never did me justice. Always got me killed cause dmg was ass. And isnt a good mid tier round comparable like m855a1

[dull cave]

yeah, thats fair

[steady pilot]

Everything else 762 and 556 work just fine

[dull cave]

BS is cheap as hell tho compared to 995

less than half price

[steady pilot]

For a while 556 got me killed too

Even with m995

[dull cave]

now that m80 doesn't work, I don't use it any more

[trim herald]

855A1 didn't used to be as good as it is though

[dull cave]

i've moved to greener pastures. 9x39

[trim herald]

It used to be way worse

[steady pilot]

It did

Just saying now

And m995 in past

[dull cave]

was better and cheaper

[trim herald]

BS was and still is comparable to 995 though dude?

[dull cave]

yes

[trim herald]

It used to be WAY better as 995 had way less damage than BS

[steady pilot]

Yes and bs got me killed too I already explained this

545 and 556 were just unreliable to me

[trim herald]

Right, I think that's a you issue 😄

[dull cave]

thats why I use spp/7n9

[steady pilot]

Must be🤷

[dull cave]

900 rpm

[steady pilot]

I never had any issues with 762 Ps and other 762 calibers

[dull cave]

pens level 5 first or second shot

tons of damage

[steady pilot]

Much more reliable

[trim herald]

You tap though, right?

[steady pilot]

And vss is just sexy af

[dull cave]

huge frag chance

[trim herald]

Pretty sure you said earlier

[steady pilot]

Vss is elite tier gun tbh

[trim herald]

9x39 is amazing now, was merely good before the ammo buff

[dull cave]

yeah

dunno what bsg was odin

doin

[trim herald]

Really struggles at range though due to the slow AF ammo

[dull cave]

spp be cheap as hell

[steady pilot]

I always hated on 9x39 before buff

[dull cave]

vss be cheap as hell

[steady pilot]

I just said 9mil ass

[trim herald]

It's Russian, has to be OP 😄

[dull cave]

cant engage past 200m without practice, but shit when do you usually

[upbeat flax]

also vss has a weird bug with the sight, doesn't it?

[steady pilot]

Vss is my interchange gun

[dull cave]

TBF

9mm and 5.56 are like

sayme

[upbeat flax]

?????????

[trim herald]

The fuck?

In that they're both used in western/nato guns? Yes

In any other way? Not really

[steady pilot]

What

[upbeat flax]

both are bullets

5head

[steady pilot]

I'm lost

[trim herald]

True

They're both rounds

[dull cave]

like side by side

[upbeat flax]

????

[trim herald]

What?

[dull cave]

they are boolet

[trim herald]

They're completely different sizes

[steady pilot]

shooting 7x39 out of ar15 platform when

[upbeat flax]

in phantom forces you can

[dull cave]

completely different?

39mm and 45mm

[fickle kettle]

[dull cave]

thats only 6mm!

why is there a masturbating frog

[bold kernel]

Found my first Ledx

[trim herald]

Good for you buddy

[steady pilot]

You are forgetting the dimension of the round

Which is fat as fuck

[dull cave]

lmao

its chunky

for damage

[trim herald]

And the load

If you know what I mean

[steady pilot]

[dull cave]

higher load

higher mass

more zoom

[upbeat flax]

higher nut

[trim herald]

But sure, they're both rounds for guns

So they're the same

Gotcha

[steady pilot]

Btw 9x39 is only ballistiically Similar to .300 blackout

Not 556

Subsonic .300*

[dull cave]

isnt .300 sub

like, always?

[steady pilot]

No

There are supersonic rounds...

[dull cave]

huh

[steady pilot]

140gr vs 210 gr

[dull cave]

yeah

well duh

but I thought the idea of blackout was to be a big subsonic round

maybe im just cracked

[dull cave]

yes

[maiden crater]

Does fuel in your hideout keep depleting when you log off?

[dull cave]

what you need to do is pick a map

[steady pilot]

@dull cave it's meant to be an effective 300m round and then also a subsonic round for suppression

[dull cave]

hit "next" until you get to a list of players

[fickle kettle]

@bold kernel play sephiroth ost and start battling with your vodka man

[dull cave]

@bold kernel hit next until you get to a list of players. then have all your members press the button under the picture of their character in the list of players to be able to be invited

then right click their names and invite

they need to hit "start looking for group"

[bold kernel]

#521628660298678283 #news-setup #pvp-lfg

That order

[steady pilot]

@dull cave oh, better way to explain it. Basically. 300 blackout is America's answer to 762x39. They are ballistiically Similar for supersonics, and then 9x39 equivalent while subsoniced. The round is 762x35mm. Make sense?

[trim herald]

So it's the same as 556 then, is that what you're saying?

[steady pilot]

Its not

It's an intermediate cartridge

Well 556 is too

And so is 545

[trim herald]

So they're all the same?

[jovial notch]

hey

[trim herald]

Gotcha!

[steady pilot]

They arent though

[trim herald]

Brb, loading 9x39 in my AR15

[steady pilot]

555 and 545 are ballistiically similar

I never said the head space was enough to load into a rifle

555 upper

technically, you could fire a 7.62 bullet out of a gun designed for .366... but it wouldn't fly well

would be cool if EFT modeled that

[sweet plinth]

quick question

is this game ever going to stop fucking lagging?

[steady pilot]

That would blowback gas @dense pine

Cause headspace is opened up

[dense pine]

headspace?

[steady pilot]

Headspace.

[dense pine]

i guess i don't follow. the cartridge is identical, bullet is smaller diameter though

[trim herald]

H E A D S P A C E

[steady pilot]

But backwards for the above mentioned

[dense pine]

resulting in what?

[trim herald]

A bad time

[steady pilot]

^

[dense pine]

well, the casing would likely rupture

but it'd work at least once, no?

[steady pilot]

[trim herald]

A bad time (said in a Russian accent)

[unique willow]

i'd doubt the bullet would leave the chamber

[dense pine]

so, the casing itself, rather than the necked down area, wouldn't be sufficient to get the bullet out?

[fickle kettle]

thicc weapon case is 35 bitcoin now

weee

[trim herald]

Ugh

anyone want to play?

For reference

.366 is 9.5x38mm

Upgrade workbench in Hideout. Examine all weapons and weapon parts on Flea. go to the weapon and EDIT PRESET....boom modding made easy

[coarse plaza]

linked search the gun for mounts then linked search the mount for scopes

@waxen forge What level does the workbench need to be because i cant do it at lvl 1

It gives me no options to add to the preset

[waxen forge]

1

[steady pilot]

You have to do linked search on items it attaches to

So what are you trying to attach

[waxen forge]

Edit preset works with workbench level 1

But need to examine parts of flea to use it to it's full capabilities

[steady pilot]

[waxen forge]

However for future use the Edit Preset is very easy to use if you have parts examined

[steady pilot]

Dont have parts*

Shows you everything that can attach

[mystic tinsel]

i know this game is not optimized but the problem i am having is, i can run the game pretty smooth offline mode 60fps constantly however online mod drives me crazy, i can't get steady 60 it comes and goes between 50-60 and sometimes it spikes down to 35-40, while running around and aiming. any tweaks? i am running ryzen 5 2600x, 1660ti 6gb and 16 ram

[waxen forge]

Shoreline is not optimized well

[steady pilot]

( dont think he mentioned shoreline)

[waxen forge]

There are many theories for graphics tweaks. Some say to turn it up to stress the GPU into doing more work.

[mystic tinsel]

i playing customs

mostly

[waxen forge]

I just had to throw shoreline under the bus real quick

[steady pilot]

Yeh fuck shorline

[pliant moon]

@waxen forge neither will purchase

[steady pilot]

[mystic tinsel]

i both try high and low setting, it is the same

[steady pilot]

Snoreline

[waxen forge]

Go to stash and move the items around

Then go back to trader

[pliant moon]

kk

[waxen forge]

If that doesn't work...restart game

Could be a server issue

[steady pilot]

Or 1660 and cpu arent that great

[scarlet breach]

servers are full potato atm

[sage olive]

wtf, i just did a scav run, got an error message after extracting and i lost everything

[waxen forge]

6 billion people (slight exaggeration) playing.

Good problem to have tbh

[steady pilot]

I'm getting 70-100 consistent frames with 2070 and i5 6600k

[scarlet bough]

Same here

i don't say 1660ti and 2600x are the best but it should get 60 steady

oh fuck yeah

Shouldn't be

[viral ibex]

nobody wants to buy my med case on the flea market who should i sell it to?

[brazen ibex]

If you have more than 4 cores its better to disable them for abit more performance

[steady pilot]

Therapist.... @viral ibex

[waxen forge]

Check traders...see who pays most.

[steady pilot]

Tarkov doesnt have multithreading

[pliant moon]

@brazen ibex exactly right, disable and overclock existing cores, this game needs 4 MAX and no multithread

[steady pilot]

Its single core game

[brazen ibex]

Yeah and it also doesnt like more than 4 physical cores

[viral ibex]

ok

[brazen ibex]

No it uses 4

[steady pilot]

Hyperthreading

[viral ibex]

well on the flea it sells for like 30000+ and the therapist sells for 90000+

should i wait to sell it to the flea or just sell it to the therapist

[steady pilot]

@viral ibex just check who gives your more money

[scarlet bough]

Therapist

[waxen forge]

Just because someone posts it for a price on flea doesn't mean it sells for that. Sort lowest to highest and price near lowest to sell quickly

[viral ibex]

oh yeah why can i only have 2 offers now?

[waxen forge]

You can go above lowest to a point but after a point it won't sell

[steady pilot]

Literally look at lowest selling price for it on market. Then look at therapist. Who has the better offer??

[waxen forge]

If you have failed sales it hurts your flea rep

[steady pilot]

1+1=2

[waxen forge]

Maths is hard

[pliant moon]

If you want to see if item actually sells on flee, look at lowest price, then refresh 30sec later and see if it's sold or not.

a lot of popular items get sold every 5-10 secs

[viral ibex]

ok ill sell it for 280 then

[waxen forge]

If you price near lowest it will sell

[steady pilot]

@viral ibexdid you check how much therapist gives???

I feel like you didnt

Cause I'm pretty sure she gives more right now

[waxen forge]

Check all traders to see what they are offering. Therapist often pays the most but occasionally she doesn't want some items that you would expect her to take

Compare highest trader price to lowest flea price

Sell to whoever is higher

[trim herald]

Saw a shitload of people earlier selling keytools for 400k, when the rapist buys them for 660k

[waxen forge]

People overuse flea

[viral ibex]

nvm im just retarded yesterday it was only 90000 for therapist jeez

[slim dove]

is any way of searching ONLY a weapon specific mods when tradi

ng

?

[trim herald]

Linked search with the weapon

Or build the workstation in the hideout and you can play around with modding

[viral ibex]

i have over 1mil now yay

[fickle kettle]

gj

[slim dove]

can bolts and nuts be obtained trough trading? or only in raids

[steady pilot]

@slim dove required search

[pliant moon]

Someone told me follow T S M for trader order to get max $$, is this accurate?

[waxen forge]

@slim dove Upgrade workbench to level 1...take the time to go to flea and examine all weapons and weapon parts (yes it takes time and is boring but it is worth it). Not right click on weapon and EDIT PRESET. Boom happy modding

[steady pilot]

You guys completely misread him

[waxen forge]

Yes @pliant moon

[pliant moon]

@waxen forge what does workbench do?

[waxen forge]

Allows you to visually mod weapons with all parts you have discovered

[steady pilot]

You can test weapon compatibility

[mystic tinsel]

@steady pilot cpu is around 30 and gpu is around 60-70 but i saw 100 gpu when alt+tab to see the task manager

[slim dove]

are specific locations for bolts etc or are random like everything

[pliant moon]

hmm okay ill youtube that, sounds deep.

[steady pilot]

No

[toxic cave]

whats the point of the money case? do you honestly need that much space for money?

[steady pilot]

You literally press a drop down for grips

And it shows all grips

[waxen forge]

Bolts can be found in tool boxes, on shelves in Ollie

[steady pilot]

That fit

[waxen forge]

To hold money

I have 2 money cases

[toxic cave]

oh shit really?

[toxic cave]

to hold money?

[waxen forge]

yea

[trim herald]

You can also find nuts and bolts in hidden caches

[toxic cave]

no way dude

[steady pilot]

Thsts what a money case is for?

MONEY case

[toxic cave]

currently i have 3 stacks of money rubles dollars and euros, they take only 3 slots so why is the money case so large

[plucky reef]

whats some good cheap armor?

body

[toxic cave]

i asked why its large not what it does

[steady pilot]

Cause it has like 30 slots

[vivid ridge]

roubles only stack to 500,000

[steady pilot]

Inside

[waxen forge]

Because you can only stack rubles to 500K

[toxic cave]

lmfao what

[trim herald]

Pretty sure it's for holding bitcoin

[vivid ridge]

once you get more roubles it will take up more space

[waxen forge]

I have a stack for US dollars...a stack for Euro...then the rest is for Rubles

[plucky reef]

i hate it taking rubles from my bottom stack so i have to switch around money 😦

give me autostack ugh

[unreal lintel]

Anyone know the conversion rate for rubles and dollars?

[waxen forge]

Not in game but it's often 1 US $ for about 120 rubles

It fluctuates though

US $ from Peacekeeper

Euro from Skier

[bold kernel]

@toxic cave

[trim herald]

104 roubles/$ and about 120 roubles/€ iirc

[toxic cave]

why wouldnt it stack, whats the point of it maxing out at 500k?

[waxen forge]

Used to be less

[steady pilot]

^

[trim herald]

I mean, stacks of cash takes space?

[unreal lintel]

okay thanks

[steady pilot]

Used to be 100k a stack

[trim herald]

Why don't guns stack?

[waxen forge]

No Steve

[trim herald]

You know

[bold kernel]

so that there is a use for a money case? and of course having heaps on money takes up space

can you store dollar notes infinitely

[steady pilot]

Why even have stash space

[bold kernel]

irl

[toxic cave]

i understand why guns wont stack for obvious reasons, but i feel like cash should be the exception

[trim herald]

Wallets and docs cases are cheaper options than a money case

For early on

[bold kernel]

@toxic cave why

[toxic cave]

because gameplay

[bold kernel]

how does it make gameplay better

[waxen forge]

They have to make stash space valuable....not infinite....balance

[trim herald]

Wallets are only like 10k or whatever, holds 4 slots of csah

cash*

[toxic cave]

the same reason why in red dead redemption 2 having to manually press a button to pick up every single item on the ground and activating an animation isnt as fun as playing breath of the wild and being able to just press a button and move that item to your inventory instantly

[waxen forge]

Different games

[toxic cave]

some things while they make sense and are realistic come at the expense of gameplay

[waxen forge]

1 is cartoonish and the other is more "real"

[bold kernel]

go play breath of the wild then

[toxic cave]

ah i see, let me change it that

the same reason why in red dead redemption 2 having to manually press a button to pick up every single item on the ground and activating an animation isnt as fun as playing gta and being able to run over cash to pick it up

[bold kernel]

how are those mechanics fun in any way?

[waxen forge]

PUBG you just hit TAB and can area search vs. here you have to manually search

It's just different philosophy

[bold kernel]

neither of the two are fun

[steady pilot]

You can make your "suggestions" on forums

[bold kernel]

but guess what

[trim herald]

Bruh, if you ever get enough cash that your inventory is filled up with it do you even care?

[bold kernel]

loading bullets into mags it a tedious process

managing stacks of banknotes

[stable nova]

i cant load the ammo spreadsheet, does someone have the backup link?

[bold kernel]

[toxic cave]

so which one would you rather do, run over the item you need to pick up or activating an animation everytime to pick up an item.

[trim herald]

In Tarkov? Activate an animation

For sure

[bold kernel]

@toxic cave it depends o the game

[waxen forge]

It's how it is. I'm fine with it

[steady pilot]

@toxic cave it's a realistic-ish mil sim game dude

[bold kernel]

but if it's a game striving for realism

[steady pilot]

What's hard to understand

[bold kernel]
