steady pilot
#

@young drum the preset thing doesnt work for building

#

It's really buggy

young drum
#

ohh

steady pilot
#

You just use it to learn

mighty jasper
#

Is it just me or is tarkov being hella slow

trim herald
#

It is

mighty jasper
#

Trying to sort my inventory, everything just blinks at me

36 billion people are trying to play Customs all at once

steady pilot
bold kernel

Lovely

verbal wedge
#

verbal wedge

Can armor that has 0/n be repaired

steady pilot
#

That's your mistake then

mighty jasper
#

Yeah

verbal wedge

steady pilot
#

@hearty sky yeah

mighty jasper
#

ofcourse @hearty sky

bold kernel

mighty jasper
#

That's the whole point of repairing love

proper ginkgo
#

wont dont a lot of streamers have kappa containers

steady pilot
#

It will take away durability

hearty sky
#

awesome. Tnx.

mighty jasper
#

Though when N approaches lower numbers(Say, 5-10), it becomes impractical

#

You probably shouldn't be repairing things that low anyway

steady pilot
#

Tactec and 6b killa armor repairn the best

#

Anything under 25 is practically unusable

trim herald
#

And white armour! Repairs amazingly πŸ˜„

steady pilot
trim herald
#

I mean it's pointless to wear it as it won't stop anything, but it repairs really well!

steady pilot
verbal wedge
#

wtf do i do with a skull & teapot

mighty jasper
#

Christ akm really is complete effin garbage isnt it

#

that recoil

steady pilot
#

Sell to market or therapist

#

Or

trim herald
#

@proper ginkgo Because it's locked behind a lot of annoying quests

mighty jasper

trim herald
#

Oh, there's a wiki for containers πŸ˜„

steady pilot
#

Everything you need to know

#

Right there

#

@plucky goblet catmoan

trim herald
#

@signal whale Currently all servers are struggling, normally the Aussie servers are fine though AFAIK

#

Get rekt

steady pilot
#

???

signal whale
#

thanks @trim herald , is the population high enough to have a good experience?

royal wind
#

One of the most popular streamers in this game plays from Aus.

steady pilot
#

Lmao

trim herald
#

I don't play Aussie servers but based on what I've seen from Pestily's streams there's enough players to be fun

signal whale
#

ah cool

steady pilot
#

Hes on american servers too

trim herald
#

His raid series on youtube is excellent as well

steady pilot
#

Server selection on client

#

Btw

trim herald
bold kernel
#

@steady pilot another EXFIL question: tne

steady pilot
bold kernel
#

the dropdown says "Old Road Gate"

split vapor
#

Go to dorms

bold kernel
#

is that the one behind the Old Gas Station?

split vapor
#

Red gate on the wall

steady pilot
#

Its PMC v-ex

#

I assume you're on scav

bold kernel
#

ahhh ok

split vapor
#

No that’s old gas

bold kernel
#

Scav yes thanks

void folio
#

anyone down to play i cant find any exits :/

#

really new

steady pilot
#

@void folio use the wiki maps

#

And offline mode

#

!wiki customs

broken quailBOT
bold kernel
#

How valuable is a Labs Keycard?

steady pilot
#

@bold kernel200k

bold kernel
#

just found one in game can't check

#

any tips on a scav survival strategy on Customs?

full harbor
#

if u aim at scasv

#

do they shoot u

misty thorn
#

no only if you hit them with your shot

plucky reef
#

can you lock doors after you unlocked them?

royal wind
#

No.

fickle kettle
#

you crawl your way to the extract worry

bold kernel
#

wouldn't mind getting out of this map with this keycard πŸ™‚

steady pilot
#

I wish you could lock doors

waxen forge
#

Keycard going between 110 and 180K

royal wind
#

It'll sell at 180. I'm hoping it goes back to 200.

waxen forge
#

Prices fluctuate

royal wind
#

It came down cause of twitch.

steady pilot
#

It's a busy time atm so I guess market is saturated

#

During the dead hours I can sell cards for 200k

bold kernel
#

i have just a pistol and no armour - is it worth just hiding out for 20 mins and then moving to the exit?

#

y'know, lie in a bush and make some tea

steady pilot
#

You're going to die eventually

#

Everyone does

#

It's better to die and learn from your mistake

royal wind
#

He's got that keycard though, lol.

steady pilot
#

True

royal wind
#

He wants to extract.

bold kernel
#

yeah i know just wondering decent strategy for getting out when you have nothing

steady pilot
#

But like, it's an experience thing

bold kernel
#

no gear just a pistol and a keycard lol

waxen forge
#

Every man dies. Not every man really lives. - William Wallace (maybe)

steady pilot
#

Lmfao

royal wind
#

Honestly, most PMCs would be close to extracting after 25 minutes in Customs.

bold kernel
#

@waxen forge that's JRR Tolkien

steady pilot
#

I see them all the time under 10 mins

#

Just play careful. Technically your rate for survival goes up the longer in the raid as there are less variables over time

royal wind
#

You know how to get to your extractions right?

bold kernel
#

yeah i am thinking wait until 15 mins left then start to make my way over if I hear no gunfire nearby

steady pilot
#

He knows now

bold kernel
#

i see there are snipers on the towers

steady pilot
#

He died at ruaf last time

royal wind
#

You're a scav, the snipers wont shoot you.

bold kernel
#

i died 20m from Trailer Park exfil

#

of dehydration

steady pilot
misty thorn
#

oof

waxen forge
#

Been there..done that

steady pilot
#

You learn once

bold kernel
#

ah the snipers are scavs thanks

#

  • delta 2k19
royal wind
#

Yeah, players cant get up there.

bold kernel
#

is there a weight limit or other factors to jump over the blue portable toilets from the car?

pearl flame
#

is it possible to clean a visor?

waxen forge
#

no cleaning

royal wind
#

Not yet, but I hear they're adding it soon.

pearl flame
#

gotcha

steady pilot
#

Give me windex

#

Nikita

pearl flame
#

quite annoying

steady pilot
#

Lmao

#

The vulkan visor is clear as fuck

#

Btw

bold kernel
#

@steady pilot is there a weight limit or other factors to jump over the blue portable toilets from the car?

royal wind
#

How are the new Exfil helmets?

pearl dagger
#

i just bought eft how do i download and start playing?

royal wind
#

There's a big INSTALL button on the webpage.

steady pilot
#

But yeah it's on profile pahe

#

Page

#

Where you bought the game

royal wind
#

Weight CAN affect that jump but I dont think it will.

steady pilot
#

@bold kernel not really

royal wind
#

Youd have to be a super thicc boi.

steady pilot
#

You just need to open door, aim at the train car, and jump for the corner

pearl dagger
#

yeah there is no install button do u usually have to wait after a payment bc i already got the verification email

steady pilot
trim herald
#

@royal wind Technically they're slightly worse than the airframes probably, but they look super cool πŸ˜„

royal wind
#

I meant the visor.

#

Clearness factor

trim herald
#

Oh, should be same as airframes I'd imagine, not tried one yet

forest pelican
#

I Always connect late and when i get into the game and i see someone they freeze and i cant hit or kill them. 30 sec later i take damage out if nowhere and die. Is this a recurring bug or something.

PS: it always happens on Customs as a PMC, it already happened like 4 times

royal wind
#

Sounds like bad desync.

forest pelican
#

How can i fix it?

trim herald
#

Not sure, do you have packet loss on your connection?

forest pelican
#

Or do i just report it as a bug

trim herald
#

Sounds like it's on your end, connectionwise

steady pilot
#

Or servers are really shitty

#

Atm

trim herald
#

That too

steady pilot
#

They are upgrading infrastructure

#

Cause twitch literally blew publicity of this game out of the water

#

It went from niche to big hypekappist

forest pelican
#

Okay thanks guys

steady pilot
#

Wheres is shoots sirens emote

#

When you need it

grave helm
#

Yeah eft is poppin off really hard, even ppl who shit on the game are now playing it lul

steady pilot
open basin
#

it takes 5 mins to get to main menu smiteS

steady pilot
#

You should of seen wipe day

grave helm
#

cant even start the game anymore 🀣

steady pilot
#

It took 6 hours past the time to upload patch. I woke up when patched released. It took 8hrs to finnaly download. Took 2 hrs to load menus and traders. Then took another hour to find 1 raid and then went to bed

waxen forge
#

Wipe day was fun. Fire up EFT...walk away watch the entire LOTR trilogy, then all the Star Wars movies...go to work a few days, come home wash the car, get a haircut, cook, a turkey, then sit down to play EFT.

steady pilot
#

That was my day on wipe day

grave helm
#

wtf Im lucky that I didnt have that kind of problems when it came to the patch

steady pilot
#

Everyone was spamming the download

#

Instantly cranking servers to 300 degrees Celsius

grave helm
#

it took me like 6h to download the game tho since my download speed jumped from 30kb to 14mb and back like a rollercoaster

steady pilot
#

I was getting I think, 10 KB/s?

full harbor
#

bruh

#

is serv down or something

#

taking me so long to get into the game

steady pilot
full harbor
#

feelsgoodman

#

they gettiing the recognition they deserve

grave helm
#

Glad eft is getting cucked because so many new players come in. They will upgrade their server big time

full harbor
#

felt like this game was gonna fail during kickstarter days

grave helm
#

I saw the trailer for eft but never knew what the fuck I watched till I saw shroud being addictive to eft

waxen forge
#

Best kept secret

#

Best shooter by a mile

trim herald
#

I first heard about it back pre-alpha and thought it sounded fucking amazing

split vapor
#

I watched some 2016 era customs gameplay video and bought the game and waited until the closed beta started

steady pilot
#

Or pocket the change like No Man's sky

waxen forge
#

I remember watching DevilDog play it way back when and thought it looked amazing

grave helm
#

Im a bit sad because I cant play any other fps anymore, csgo/r6/cod/pubg everything feels so shit

steady pilot
trim herald
#

Then didn't see anything until I saw a random streamer I followed due to R6 play in like .4 or someshit, immediately bought the game

steady pilot
#

@waxen forge look at you, finnaly got it. Sherpa

full harbor
#

it looked good and all but i didnt h ave a beast setup backthen

#

and i saw gameplay of low fps

waxen forge
#

I'm green

split vapor
#

Oh no

#

Hi

waxen forge
#

Like the hulk

grave helm
#

I want colors too 😦

steady pilot
#

You've been pretty helpful so it's been about damn time

long spear
#

im blue da ba dee da ba die

waxen forge
#

I try

trim herald
#

Tried to save a weapon preset just to get hit by the spinning wheel of death

split oak
#

sup guys

split vapor
#

Like presets even work

steady pilot
#

^

grave helm
#

^

steady pilot
#

They don't

#

You just test modding for free

trim herald
#

I haven't had any issues with using presets?

grave helm
#

I tried to use preset and everytime I tried to buy the mods it got an error

trim herald
#

It's been super smooth for me

waxen forge
#

I have a couple saved. Not perfect but a step in the right direction

steady pilot
#

^

long spear
#

same, presets save me a nice bit of time

split vapor
#

I have a few ak74m that I’ve built and like

steady pilot
#

The presets give you like the worst price

#

But if you got money its handy

trim herald
#

The only thing really that I'd like is if they'd just list all the ones you've made rather than having to either search or go through each rifle in a drop menu

steady pilot
#

But it's still really buggy

trim herald
#

It gives me trader prices, which is generally the cheapest

#

Items I know will be cheaper from players I'll buy separately

#

Like optics usually

steady pilot
#

@waxen forge but seriously grats manbeew

#

Well deserved

waxen forge
#

Thank you sir

bold kernel
#

@steady pilot "Authorization Error Occurred" any idea what that is?

steady pilot
#

A tarkov bug

waxen forge
#

Every see a volcano erupt?

steady pilot
#

Lmao

trim herald
#

Means you need to restart the game

sharp musk
#

fickle kettle
#

just bought the game on the website and was wondering where I go to install the game now

modern steppe
#

your profile

steady pilot
#

Your profile page

modern steppe
#

on the site

fickle kettle
#

went on profile page and the game is under the transaction section

#

do I have to wait

steady pilot
#

Yes

#

First thing you'll learn isntarkov servers arent the best

tired heart
#

yo

#

whats the highest zoom scope?

fickle kettle
#

will it move to the preorder section when its ready to install

split vapor
#

Nightforce

trim herald
#

Highest zoom I've seen use for is the 1/6x honestly. Anything beyond that just feels like overkill

split vapor
#

Vudu best

tired heart
#

whats the zoom for the nite force

#

also how do i tell its zoom?

#

i think i bought a night force for my svd tried it in pve reserve

full harbor
#

where do you get thermals from

fickle kettle
#

how long does it take for the game transaction to go through

tired heart
#

even at the longest range everything was way too zommed in

split vapor
#

Nightforce is like 16

tired heart
#

ok

bold kernel
#

can you exchange dollars for RUB?

fickle kettle

trim herald
#

@bold kernel Indirectly, if you buy optics for dollars off the trader and sell for roubles on flea

toxic cave
#

so the payment hasnt gone through?

tired heart
#

what do the numbers mean on a scope?

fickle kettle
#

got an email from the external people they use for debit cards saying my purchase went through there

#

but nothing from the actual game yet

waxen forge
#

It may take a minute @fickle kettle

#

They are really busy right now

split vapor
#

What scope you looking at

toxic cave
trim herald
#

First numbers are the zoom, numbers after the x are degrees of angle iirc

#

I havent even interacted with all the traders

bold kernel
#

what's the deal with "Offer Not Found" on the Flea market?

trim herald

That's someone buying it before you did

steady pilot

@mellow stag do you have eod

#

Is there a way to fix shattered visors?

steady pilot
#

By reparing then

#

Them

fickle kettle
#

I think i hit install and it just finished installing a bsg launcher

They have to reach a certain amount of damage threshold to be repairable

fickle kettle

@steady pilot No, I have standard

Has anyone upgraded to EOD and not seen any increase in their RUB available?

worthy rover

24H?

waxen forge

24-36 hrs

bold kernel
#

it says you get 400k RUB when you purchase EOD

they should add the differeence if you upgrade

steady pilot
#

You get 100k

#

Not 400k

true sun
#

so, anyone in here willing to show me the ropes? someone with experience and would like to help me? thank you!

worthy rover

with standard you got 300k

steady pilot

You get the difference of (Eod contents - standard)

so @steady pilot when it wipes again I will end up with the EOD starting stuff?

full harbor
#

i just got 600k today aswell 😦

trim herald
#

@mossy jungle There's so many mods it'd be impossible to have a spreadsheet for it. Upgrade the hideout and you can check them out ingame

steady pilot
#

Fresh wipe is the best 3 weeks of gameplay

full harbor
#

how come

waxen forge
#

Time between last wipe and this wipe was 9 months. People got bored. Stopped playing

trim herald
#

You still have another 3 months+ before the wipe

#

Don't worry

steady pilot
#

Because not everyone has max kit

bold kernel
#

i did a support request last wk about the lack of top-up on the RUB

waxen forge
#

People had too much $ and too much gear

bold kernel
#

they did not "accept" it yet

full harbor
#

do they release a big patch

#

with a wipe

steady pilot
#

Yes

full harbor
#

like new maps out etc

true sun
#

looking for a sherpa

waxen forge

You can't gamma your own dogtag

Epsilon used to be a viable option when you could put guns in the secure container, now I think gamma is just better

@viral ibex depends if ur looking for ergo or max recoil

fortis shift for ergo and recoil

#

rk2 for max recoil

inner glacier
#

Is AKM considered throwaway for new players? (I can't gauge value yet as I am still level 3 and do not have flea market)

steady pilot
#

Rvg grip is best ratio of cost/ergo/recoil

#

Akm veprkm and sks ak74u ak74

#

All guns that are generally overlooked

#

Cause they cheap (and mostly trash)

inner glacier
#

what about mosin? @steady pilot

#

I also heard SKS was a good mit-tier gun?

steady pilot
#

That too

#

Veprkm is better Vodka

#

For a semi 7x39 platform

#

Mosin gets dropped a lot tbh

inner glacier
#

You should rename yourself to Daddy Veprkm, the amount i heard you give it love today πŸ˜„

steady pilot
#

It was Father KM yesterday

#

And Sw_Delta (Veprkm gang)

trim herald
#

I mean the gun is good for a starter gun

#

Compared to the SKS at least

steady pilot
#

It's a super strong budget gun

#

That's it

trim herald
#

Why the fuck is the USEC stash key 450k btw?

steady pilot
#

You should upgrade to hunter

#

After you can afford 50k for it and a scope

bold kernel
#

.366 ammo is such a meme

steady pilot
#

Yep

warm rover
#

Is the SNB ammo any good for mosin ?

steady pilot
#

@warm rover no you want 1 tap thorax potential

#

So 7n1 best

#

Snb is under 80 dmg

#

Can you gurantee two well placed shots to chest before you die?

#

For snb?

viral ibex
#

@silver dome those are the best one?

#

what about the pistol grip?

grand elm
#

LPS one taps thorax

#

Unless you’re hunting Killa, LPS is plenty

bold kernel
#

I have a couple hundred hours in raid, wanting to help a new player get into the game, will offer assistance to any newer players

verbal spruce
#

is it really normal to die in 1 shot from a scav? insta headshot from a mile away so bullshit

grand elm
#

Snipe scav

#

Sniper*

verbal spruce
#

directional audio doesnt help either

steady pilot
#

Lps is equivalent to m80 in pen now, so yes it works, but 7n1 is still considered the optimal round for strong chance against players who are geared.

#

He was asking about snb cause it was a high pen

#

So I gave the next best thing for penetration and dmg necessary

trim herald
#

I wouldn't bother with LSB if I could get hold of 7n1 honestly

grand elm
#

Meh. For the price, I’m sticking with LPS. I hit my shots so I’m not worried about having to do a follow up. I understand your reasoning, though, completely. 7n1 is great. Any ammo that starts with 7n is good.

#

But expensive.

steady pilot
#

7n1 only got expensive because m80 nerf and svd hype

#

Paying that extra 200 roubles was fine but its definitely expensive more so now

#

Were talking a bolt action to. You shoot like 5-20 rounds at any given time, not magdumping like mp7

#

THATS expensive

grand elm
#

Haha fair enough.

steady pilot
#

So I mean spending 5k more to help gurantee easier kills is worf

outer star
#

looking for a sherpa

steady pilot
warm rover
#

I mean basically SNB has more pen than lps an 75 damage @steady pilot

steady pilot
#

Yes but application

#

Think application

#

A pmc chest is 80 dmg

#

Snb is 75

warm rover
#

ah yeah

#

you're right

steady pilot
#

Generally yes.

#

1% of players use lvl 6, like 14% use lvl 5. The rest is 4 and lower

warm rover
#

so better 7n1 best

grave helm
#

What does the Russian words mean? Im gonna do offline Lab runs to get to know the map

steady pilot

You are generally better off

With 7n1

#

Snb works , I'd rather use in a semi auto tbh

#

Like svd

click the dropdown and click as online

Click the arrow down and choose the difficulty Adams, I don't know what the Russian means though

But even then svd 7n1 claps

How do you squad up?

grave helm

Yeah I selected it as in online but still weird that random russian words come up

You add someone and right click their name and hit invite

pretty sure its just as online in russian

should just upgrade @full harbor

yeah i realize 45k isn't that much @bold kernel

stash upgrade is waste of money

buy some cases

i meant the version of the game

@slate anchor I mean it's a good gun. Just doesn't sell for much. I'd keep.

the next version is like $22 right now

@silver dome Do not call out other players in chat.

trim herald
#

@slate anchor If you're broke sell it, it is however one of my favourite guns in the game but the ammo is fairly pricy

slate anchor
#

that's if you have the standard edition

silver dome
#

its not aloud?

#

even if they extract camp?

idle bluff
#

Someone literally told you you can't after you asked

silver dome
#

m80 isnt pricy at all

#

oh sry

bold kernel
#

Volkov just run an flir or nvg if it's a night raid

slate anchor
#

oh pricy ammo... i literally wasted like 200k+ on 9x39 mm bp, backbreaking tbh

full harbor
#

does ammo even matter

idle bluff
#

Yes

bold kernel
#

Kinda your fault for dying there. The guy was up on a hill, you didn't see him, he killed you. It sucked, but you need to pack the right loadout for your raid.

full harbor
#

cant u just headshot 1 shot

slate anchor
#

depends on the helmet

trim herald
#

Ammo is more important than the gun often

drifting shoal
#

is scav junkbox worth?

slate anchor
#

and type of ammo

i thought helmet doesnt matter that much

I found a white ball. Is it useful? I cant sell it

If you have a standard edition definitely @drifting shoal

i headshot a lot with pistol

You can craft things in the hideout with the white/red/violet christmas ornaments if you have the tree crafted

fresh basin
#

anyone wanna play? I'm tired of getting cucked by squads

bold kernel
#

@full harbor It matters a lot. Most players will be running class 4 if they have a brain, so you want to pack ammo that clears level 4 armor at least

fresh basin
#

makes me a n g e r y

tribal cove
#

@trim herald i dont have the tree

slate anchor
#

you should check out the ammo chart @full harbor

trim herald
#

@full harbor If they dont have a visor and you hit the face yes. Otherwise ammo really matter

bold kernel
#

If you pack the wrong armor, prepare to dump 18 rounds into a guys chest

drifting tangle
#

Hello, is there a place where I can look for a group? The in game function seems to be taking forever...

bold kernel
#

How good are visors? Like how many shots can they block?

trim herald
#

Depends on the visor and the ammo

slate anchor
#

depends

#

but they're really life-saving

trim herald
#

If it's shitty ammo even a lvl 3 can stop like 10+ rounds

tribal cove
bold kernel
#

Yeah. I think I have a good one, it took like 5 face shots for me from a sa58.

slate anchor
#

jeez

trim herald
#

That's why you use M62 rather than M80 πŸ˜„

bold kernel
#

Not sure what ammo he was running lol

#

My buddy took his gun

trim herald
#

What helmet is it on?

bold kernel
#

One second

slate anchor
#

is there any recommended easy way to make monies? i been doing scav runs but meh not a lot of money (roughly less than 30k each run)

bold kernel
#

Kiver-M

tribal cove
#

M62 is better than m80?

trim herald
drifting tangle
#

@tribal cove Thanks!

trim herald
#

@bold kernel He was just absolute garbage ammo then πŸ˜„

slate anchor
#

thanks

trim herald
#

@tribal cove You lose onetap to chest potential but you gain a LOT of pen. I think it's worth for an SA for sure

tribal cove
#

Will get m62 from now on then

bold kernel
#

@slate anchor Usually you want to be looking into what spawns where on a map. Also not sure how you don't clear 30k off what you spawn with as a scav

#

Usually that clears me 50k at least

#

just got blasted instantly by a teammate from joining via in game matchmaking...is that the norm for the player base??/

trim herald
#

Yes

#

Don't ever use the LFG ingame

#

Do that instead

bold kernel
#

@bold kernel if someone invites you with ingame lfg, 99% chance they are trying to tk you

#

Douchey but it happens

slate anchor
#

i play on cusotms 24/7 because i'm new but also since i know the map inside out and it's the only map that i've mastered atm so i'm kinda tight on map variety which is why i find it hard to find good loot, especially on customs @bold kernel

trim herald
#

Customs has only one high value loot spot which is dorms

#

BUT

#

Hidden caches are AMAZING

bold kernel
#

im new to both EFT and discord but want to squad up and use voip as well

trim herald
#

You know about them? @slate anchor ?

bold kernel
#

how do i search for others looking to play rn?

trim herald
#

Follow my instructions? πŸ˜„

bold kernel
#

im only lvl 4

#

Anyone know what cheap guns I should be running? I've been running mosin, but after spending 200k rubles on trying to get a sniper mosin set up I just need some good alt

trim herald
#

VEPR 136 is great for a budget gun

bold kernel
#

@slate anchor look up the hidden caches, and search the warehouses.

slate anchor
#

about who? @trim herald

trim herald
#

Hidden caches

slate anchor
#

nope

bold kernel
#

Great, great loot with little risk.

bold kernel
#

Dorms has the loot but everyone goes there and you will get killed by a streamer

steady pilot
slate anchor
#

oh thanks

steady pilot
#

Someone say budget gun

bold kernel
#

20k? Wow

slate anchor
#

i usually go to dorms but my luck isn't always on my side so i either get killed on my way there or find no one @bold kernel

hallow thicket
#

is everyone else having issues

trim herald
#

They can spawn almost any loot in the game and if you hit 5-6 of them you're almost guaranteed to come out with 100k+

bold kernel
#

Yeah, don't go dorms

hallow thicket
#

like trying to get into games

bold kernel
#

Fucking deathtrap

trim herald
#

Dorms is only if you want to PvP honestly πŸ˜„

bold kernel
#

Only go there if you are fully kitted

slate anchor
#

i always go there as a scav to scavenge whatever is there

#

or as a pmc but pretty late in the round

trim herald
#

Honestly as a scav too, I'd just hit caches πŸ˜„ They're excellent

proper ginkgo
#

what should I buy from lvl 1 prapor to get ll2, ive only spent 400k with him

bold kernel
#

Yeah don't. Just skim the warehouses and hidden caches. There is usually plenty of weapon cases etc.

worn blade
#

is the money case worth keeping?

trim herald
#

Especially as you're starting out as they often have a bunch of items you need for the hideout

#

If you have lots of stacks of roubles yes @worn blade

#

Otherwise sell it and get a couple of wallets

hallow thicket
#

i went to dorms with ak47u and came out with two really nice modded rifles

bold kernel
#

Yeah I have an mcase and a medcase

proper ginkgo
#

damn nice iain

bold kernel
#

Is medcase worth?

proper ginkgo
#

Id say so lavon

hallow thicket
#

yeah i got kinda lucky he pushed me and i headshot hhim

slate anchor
#

you should use AS VAL instead, my BP ammo melts down any geared boi @hallow thicket

worn blade
#

psh of course ive got tons of roubles......

#

ok thx

trim herald
#

Medcase is handly as you'll have plenty of meds kicking around

proper ginkgo
#

its not very expensive either

bold kernel
#

Alright. It would get me 500k ruble so I was considering selling. Thanks.

proper ginkgo
#

I kept mine

bold kernel
#

Medcase selling for a lot despite everyone getting one for new years

proper ginkgo
#

true

bold kernel
#

Svd is selling for around 20k which really surprises me

fallen crane
#

its because people always need medcases to hoard their meds

trim herald
#

Because most people have at least 2 of them once you get a decent stash going

fluid path
#

Items don't usually drop below vendor sell price

trim herald
#

Huh? SVDS is 55k min?

bold kernel
#

Alright. I think I'm set. I know how to exfil on most maps and I have a guy I play with who synergizes well with me.

#

@trim herald saw one on flea for 20k

trim herald
#

A barter?

bold kernel
#

Nope

trim herald
#

Or a roubles sell?

bold kernel
#

Roubles

trim herald
#

Someone fucked up I guess

bold kernel
#

Yeah maybe

trim herald
#

But they're selling instantly at 55k

#

So

bold kernel
#

Didn't go for a solid min

#

Hmmm

#

Weird. People like their svds

proper ginkgo
#

can you get key tool from a quest? I thought I got it from a drop but it's not in my inventory and that was hours ago

trim herald
#

No

bold kernel
#

Key tool?

#

What does upgrading security in hideout do?

#

That's the thing that holds all your keys right?

fallen crane
#

keyring to put keys on

bold kernel
#

Yeah

proper ginkgo
#

takes only one slot so you can put like 16 keys in your secure container in one slot

trim herald
#

@bold kernel Gives you access to upgrading other stuff only really

proper ginkgo
#

lavon if you dont have the money for it there is also a docs case which does the same and for other items but its 1x2 instead of 1x1

#

for cheaper

fallen crane
#

hit up the marked rooms and you can find them

bold kernel
#

I'm not in the market for those rn.

#

I'm still fairly newish. I'm getting better though

#

I've done 3 raids with the same gear and gotten 100-150k from each

tardy wagon
#

okay.... im in a fight... handgun has no bullets... so instinctivly... i click r to reload.... oh guess what the game says fuck you and for some reason my characte doesnt wanna reload

fallen crane
#

ammo in rig or pockets

trim herald
#

Do you have a spare mag in pockets or rig?

fluid path
#

Did you have a mag available?

tardy wagon
#

probably in bag

regal plover
#

You need a spare magazine for that weapon in your pocket/rig.

trim herald
#

Then that's why πŸ˜„

fluid path
#

Won't look in bag

regal plover
#

Your PMC aim't gonna unzip their backpack and root around for a mag when you hit R

trim herald
#

Just like "Hold up fam, need to go through my bag one second"

steady pilot
bold kernel
#

I'm wondering if I should get better at solo runs. I found a guy who I play with who synergizes well with me. I would say he carries me but I saved him from an ambush a few times so I think we're about even

long spear
#

your pmc is lazy is basically what hes saying

steady pilot
#

See even he needs his ammo in pockets

tardy wagon
#

@steady pilot how come youre aloud to gif and i can only post linsk XD

#

so whats better rig or pockets?

steady pilot
#

@tardy wagon unlock discord first

fluid path
#

Neither is better

trim herald
#

@bold kernel Up to you but if you're having fun with duo's there's no NEED to play solos

fluid path
#

Rig expands pocket slots

fallen crane
#

you have to use rig when using rifle because mags are big

tired heart
#

I removed my offers from the glee market

bold kernel
#

True. I have the most fun playing duo but not sure if I'm handicapping myself in any way.

fluid path
#

You always have 4 pocket slots, use a rig for . more

#

Do I get my items back?

Because I can’t find them now

fluid path

If you died? Only if you insured them and nobody took em

If you remove the item it is gone?

It takes a while for them to come back after you withdraw an offer

bold kernel
#

I sold some shit on flea, had to restart for the money to show up in messenger

steady pilot
#

Servers are stressed

#

You guys need to relax

bold kernel
#

Barter is fucking stupid. It always tricks me into selling my loot for less lol

steady pilot
#

Just ignore barter

inner glacier

Assume there's no way to tell how much damage you do to someone who killed you? I did 4 shots to the chest drawing blood with some AK variant which apparently didn't kill him.

steady pilot
#

You can go to the cog wheel and check mark ignore barter trades

bold kernel
#

Only time barter worked was when I sold 2/70 off my sugar for a fully modded ak

steady pilot
#

@inner glacierthe after action report?

bold kernel
#

Wait actually wut

steady pilot
#

Sugar is also 45k on market

#

Or whatever

#

So actually you got ripped off

#

Cause I guarantee that ak wasnt "fully modded"

fluid path
#

Ben what ammo did you use?

trim herald

#

I had a sugar with 35/70 on it, sold it to the guy. The ak had a pad, foregrip, mag, and scope.

fluid path
#

The damage is across all your targets

trim herald
#

Click cogwheel, then tick those two filters

bold kernel
#

Thanks

trim herald
#

@bold kernel Sugar is worth more

bold kernel
#

What does the lavatory do

steady pilot
#

The amount of sugar doesnr matter

bold kernel
#

Damn

steady pilot
#

The cost is

#

The same

#

Cause it's a trade item

#

And hideout item

bold kernel
#

Yeah.

trim herald
#

@bold kernel Dude, were you raised by bears? You shit in the lavatory

inner glacier
#

I'm not too sure @fluid path. It was a Scav run. It was one of the ones that only fit in a 10 round mag. Believe the mag hold was called 544 something that began with S

bold kernel

😦

#

Also lets you craft a bunch of stuff you need for the hideout and quests

inner glacier

but it was an AK varient I spawned with as a scav
