#

everything is gone

tight zodiac
#

ok thats what he was asking

bold kernel
#

what

trail schooner
#

so, anyone suffering here? just started playing and this game is hell lol

bold kernel
#

@trail schooner watched any tutorials?

trail schooner
#

yes, watched a couple of videos

#

still, pretty damn hard

bold kernel
#

what are you having issues with

trail schooner
#

knowledge of the map

rain panther
#

so anyone got a bug to where they are supposed to get a aks-74 and get a mosen insted

bold kernel
#

then learn it offline

#

with a map on 2nd screen

tight zodiac
#

how do i know what i should sell or keep?

bold kernel
#

preferably one from the wiki

woven lava
#

@trail schooner yes I am suffering ;-;

bold kernel
#

@tight zodiac check the wiki

#

for the item that you don't know if you wanna keep or not

#

to see what it's used for

waxen forge
bold kernel
#

barter, hideout, tasks ect

trail schooner
#

thanks

bold kernel
#

@trail schooner yeah but when it comes to learning the location of the enemies and possible flanks

bold kernel
#

you can't really learn that offline

#

you'll just keep dying until you find those locations

placid garden
#

I want to buy a STANAG mag from Fence, he has them available, when I hit buy, it gives me out of stock?

bold kernel
#

@placid garden someone bought it before you

placid garden
#

Jesus. Is there a refresh button?

trail schooner
#

even if I learn the map offline, I just wonder how long it will take for to extract lol\

bold kernel
#

depends on the extraction

#

most stationary extractions take seconds

#

some like dorms exfil take an entire minute

trail schooner
#

how many players are in each raid?

#

I see 6-12

bold kernel
#

it is shown on the map selection screen

trail schooner
#

is that the actual number

bold kernel
#

how many PMC's can spawn

pure path
#

My inventory is getting full and I don't know what to sell and keep. Can anyone help me with this?

bold kernel
#

aka the players that spawn right at the start of a raid

#

but mid raid

#

scav players can also join

#

so it can be like +20 depending on the map

trail schooner
#

omg

bold kernel
#
  • ai scavs + ai raiders
#
  • bosses
#
  • guards
trail schooner
#

I will never be good at this game

bold kernel
#

@pure path show it

placid garden
#

I've just been running Customs non stop to learn the map.

trail schooner
#

how do u know when u see a boss?

pure path
#

@bold kernel Okay, gimme a sec

bold kernel
#

any sherpa around to help me unlock Jaeger? I get lost on the map 🙂

placid garden
#

What's the countdown timer next to a Trader for?

bold kernel
#

@bold kernel look for the location of jaeger in offline mode first

#

@placid garden restock

#

@trail schooner they wear boss specific items

#

I know where to find the camp, the getting out is the problem :))

#

then go into offline mode

#

and learn the extractions

#

there is a bunker next to the camp

#

if you get a lucky spawn and manage to get the bunker as one of the exfils the quest is easy

placid garden
#

Wish it had other maps completed.

bold kernel
#

i prefer this for learning

inner glacier
#

I dissassembled a shotgun to sell to a vendor. Should i be keeping any of these parts or just sell them too? (on the right hand side to the right of the bar of soap and the ushanka)

trim herald
#

Just sell it

bold kernel
#

why do you have 3 tushonkas

#

and 2 water bottles in your vest

trim herald
#

You can trade tushonks for an AKM and sell that for extra cash

waxen forge
#

Maps

#

all of them

bold kernel
#

does this graph show all of the tasks

#

in chronological order

inner glacier
#

I ran out of space @bold kernel stash was completely full after last scav run. I was reorganising

bold kernel
#

i see

#

well

#

shotguns are kinda ass anyway

trim herald
#

Yes-ish, some quests aren't really locked behind others

#

But rather levels, or whatnot

bold kernel
#

might aswell get an assault rifle if you don't HAVE TO use shotguns

trim herald
#

But it's basically chronologically

pure path
#

@bold kernel how do I take a screenshot?

bold kernel
#

@pure path system?

pure path
#

windows 10

bold kernel
#

winkey+shift+s

upbeat flax
#

or use ShareX

bold kernel
#

but why ^

pure path
#

I dont know where the screenshots go afterwards

bold kernel

ctrl v @pure path

ctrl+v it here

upbeat flax

it will be ready to paste with CTRL+V

@bold kernel Hi, Kebab.

Sharex?

bold kernel

@trim flax Hi, Kebab.

upbeat flax

sharex is just quicker

feral gorge

Tf is sharex

bold kernel

quicker than what

this?

feral gorge

Also: remove

placid garden

If I upgrade to EOD, will it wipe my character or anything?

Will sherpas actually go into a game with you and help you with challenges?

@unique willow try restart the game, that worked for me

unique willow
#

ok it worked

#

thanks

terse summit
#

Does anyone know of any beginner guides I just bought the game

waxen forge
woven lava
#

@terse summit one that has helped me is Pestilys 'Raid' series

honest tusk
#

I wish his raid series had a few more episodes near the beginning

#

With less streamer loot raids

#

But hey its not bad

woven lava
#

same, but the later episodes are better

terse summit
#

Yea I was watching the first episode and he was talking about extractions and scavs and I was like wtf

#

I have no clue

honest tusk
#

The thing is that first episode he literally ices a scav boss and his goons no problem

#

Which isnt something anyone new can do

woven lava
#

he does

#

thats why I like the later episodes more where he does more quests

young drum
#

If I have to hang over N items for some quest, those items should be found after I accepted the quest, shouldn't they?

feral gorge
#

@pure path Yes Sherpas will come in raid with you and assist with quests if needed

pure path
#

Okay, cool

full harbor
#

how much hp does scav boss have

#

cant u keep tappin its head

feral gorge
#

More than regular scavs

full harbor
#

or snipe

feral gorge
#

Well

grand crow
#

Do scavs crouch when they want to shoot you

feral gorge
#

If its reshala

bold kernel
#

scav boss hp is around double

feral gorge
#

U can headshot him sure

waxen forge
#

IF they are task specific items like the bronze pocket watch then yes @young drum .....However if they are basic items like cigs, cpu, or ram then no. Many people start collecting those task items day 1.

honest tusk
#

Yeah you can ez headshot them but lets be real half the time new people would struggle with even that

grand crow
#

Post raid death screen didn’t show who killed me

feral gorge
#

If its Killa well that's harder since he has a class 5 helmet with a class 6 visor

young drum
#

@waxen forge thanks

bold kernel
#

back of killa helm is now class 4 no?

full harbor
#

wtf is that

feral gorge
#

@bold kernel Is it?

bold kernel
#

tiny mosin

feral gorge
#

That's new to me if it is

waxen forge
#

Sawed off mosin

full harbor
#

lol wtf

terse summit
#

Wait so when I get in the game do I buy a begginer loadout or go and try and find guns

bold kernel
#

I think I checked recently n was surprised my self

#

his face plate was 6

#

back 4 I think

feral gorge
#

Hm

honest tusk
#

Wee mosin

feral gorge
#

Weird

honest tusk
#

Cute

#

@terse summit the first bit i did scav runs to get guns and learn maps

terse summit
#

What are scav runs

honest tusk
#

Now i can run pmc raid with decent stuff

waxen forge
#

@terse summit You can equip weapons you started with or buy from traders. In the raid you can kill people and loot them...loot boxes, or work on tasks.

bold kernel
#

@terse summit I suggest going interchange parking lots n finding guns

#

saves on costs

terse summit
#

Are scavs bots?

waxen forge
#

A scav run is when you play as a scav

honest tusk
#

You play as a scav rather than your main character. Scavs have random loadouts

waxen forge
#

Most scavs are Ai...

bold kernel
#

usually. player scavs exist

honest tusk
#

Some are players

waxen forge
#

But people can play as a scav every so many minutes so some "scavs' will be players.

terse summit
#

So I should go as a scav run get guns then I can use them on my main?

honest tusk
#

Yeah the scav runs dont effect xp or quests but can net you ez guns

waxen forge
#

If you survive and extract

honest tusk
#

And help you learn maps

feral gorge
#

@terse summit Scav runs are basically free loot if you manage to get out

stable nova
#

my xp looked buggy after extraction, will it get corrected?

terse summit
#

Do the scavs know where I am

feral gorge
#

Usually people like to be very ballsy when playing scav

terse summit
#

or do they just walk around randomly

stable nova
#

was way to low for that raid..

feral gorge
#

@terse summit If you're a PMC?

terse summit
#

if I am on a scav run

full harbor
#

iis sawn off mosin worth much?

feral gorge
#

AI Scav won't attack you

full harbor
#

the market doesnt have it

feral gorge
#

Unless you attack them first

#

Then they'll go hostile on you

terse summit
#

Ok should I kill them for loot?

waxen forge
#

Just sell it to mechanic @full harbor

bold kernel
#

@terse summit Scav Ai sorta always know your position... they can path toward players...

waxen forge
#

If you attack a scav as a scav then other scavs around you will agro

feral gorge
#

@terse summit That's your decision, I usually do

terse summit
#

Ok and there are no real people in scav runs

honest tusk
#

I attack them if the gun they have is worth

feral gorge
#

@terse summit there are

terse summit
#

So i can go around loot and extract

honest tusk
#

If i spawn with a mosin like hell im gonna shoot a scav who has an ak

feral gorge
#

@terse summit There are real people. Both PMCs and other player scavs

bold kernel
#

scav run is entering a pre started pmc raid... you can join later when ppl are dead... but someone is.alive

terse summit
#

so if you are on a scav run no other bots will shoot you but if you go pmc the scavs will shoot you

honest tusk
#

Most pmcs are dead or extracted i find

feral gorge
#

@terse summit Also. Beware, scav bosses will still attack you even if u are a scav

bold kernel
#

any sherpas able to help my friend and I on factory?

feral gorge
#

@terse summit Basically yeah

bold kernel
#

we are level 1 and 3

honest tusk
#

The bots only shoot you if you shoot one of them

bold kernel
#

short of scav boss scav ai will be neutrul

inner glacier
#

Lads I got this message from Prapor. I think it's a Twitch drop? (my first one as I had to relink account as wasn't working) - but my stash was full. Does this mean it's gone? I also don't see anything in my twitch notifications. Any ideas?

terse summit
#

How realistic is the game what do I have to is their like water and food levels and heat or cold

bold kernel
#

food is a thing

#

not tempirture

#

yet

feral gorge
#

@inner glacier it's already in your inventory

#

Check on twitch to see what you got

honest tusk
#

Food and water will slowly go down but finding it is easy

red zephyr
#

so im new to game. where should i go to find people to play with?

rain current
#

if i get the standard edition, is there a way aside from getting the more expensive versions to increase my stash limit?

honest tusk
red zephyr
#

thank you

feral gorge
#

@rain current yes

honest tusk
#

I think you can get it through the hideout

feral gorge
#

@rain current There is the hideout, you can upgrade it there through completing in game requirements

waxen forge
#

Can increase stash size with Hideout

#

Can get bigger safe container via tasks

rain current
#

@feral gorge Thanks!

waxen forge
feral gorge
#

if the bots working that is lol @waxen forge

terse summit
#

Where should I spawn for a scav run

red zephyr
#

@honest tusk is that a server in here or what do i need to do?

feral gorge
#

@terse summit Interchange is a good place. Although a lot of PVP people like Factory

waxen forge
#

Bot gets tired

feral gorge
#

But since you're new do Interchange

terse summit
#

ok

stable nova
#

went in to do the jaeger thirsty quest, with a mosin, extracted like that:

honest tusk
#

Then it should be a channel

#

On here

red zephyr

@honest tusk thank you I appreciate it very much!

@upbeat flax well not really for a lot of the quests

sand kindle

upbeat flax

Can i use broken AVS rig for the quest or it has to be repaired in certain amount?

#

Damn, upgrading from basic to EOD doesn't upgrade your favor to Good.

feral gorge
#

Huh?

split vapor
#

Gear doesn’t make you good

ocean pilot
#

is there a way to kind of just clump up my stash?

placid garden
#

I thought you'd get Good favor with traders with EOD.

ocean pilot
#

like saying: "game, take all of whats in my stash, and clump it up at the top to safe me from scrolling my mousewheel to death"?

split vapor
#

It increases your rep with all by 0.20

placid garden
#

.2 is Neutral?

feral gorge
#

@placid garden the .2 is what you get and that's it, nothing less nothing more

#

The fact it says neutral doesn't matter

placid garden
#

ah ok

rain panther
#

do i need tools to upgrade my guns?

split vapor
#

No

rain panther
#

ok good

split vapor
#

It’s buy and drop basically

#

Drag offold items

#

Buy new ones

#

Drag on

trim herald
#

Upgrading the workbench will allow you to play around with mods and attachments virtually without buying them as long as you've examined them

#

And you can then see any/all attachments that'll go on that gun

feral gorge
#

Presets are still too fucky personally

split vapor
#

Presets don’t work ish

trim herald
#

I'm having no issues with them honestly, but even if you don't use them it allows you to see what attachments go on what guns

vapid folio
#

i dont understand what iam supposed to do in this game. Is it even worth trying to play with the pmc?

trim herald
#

So if you want a suppressor for example you can have a look and see what you need to suppress the gun

#

That's the only way to progress as you get no xp as a scav

#

But if you don't know what you're supposed to do, play some offline raids or scav raids to get a feel for how the game plays

#

Then accept tasks from traders and you'll have some guidance that way too

#

Or type !sherpa 😄

dusty depot
#

you guys know if its possible to do offline raids with friends?

placid garden
#

As a scav, is there a way to know if you've joined a raid mid-way through versus at the start?

trim herald
#

Press O

split vapor
#

Hit O and see the time

trim herald
#

It'll tell you the time remaining, if you know the starting time on the map you can then see how long the raid's been going for

placid garden
#

Ok super

trim herald
#

What map you on?

placid garden
#

Customs

trim herald
#

I think Customs is 45 min base

placid garden
#

Is there a general limit how late they'll put you in? 10 minutes left? 5?

fresh mist
#

im lvl 15 looking for experienced player to help me on woods and customs

vernal anchor
trim herald
#

As a scav? Not within the last 10-15 min from my experience, but not at the start either

feral gorge
#

^

placid garden
#

Oh so PMC is the only way to guarantee full time/start of raid?

trim herald
#

Yeah

bold kernel
trim herald
#

Scavs also tend to have different extracts than PMC's

feral gorge
#

Personally if the map lasts 45 mins. I'm put in as a scav while it's in between 25 or 35 minutes left on the timer

#

Most cases

placid garden
#

I feel like I should join as a scav when it's late evening so I can maybe get a kill or two, find those 2 shotguns and then run away in the dark.. 🙂

trim herald
#

I've seen anywhere between 20 and 43 min on the timer on Customs, but generally between 25 and 35 as Luka said

feral gorge
#

@placid garden you can buy the shotguns I think

trim herald
#

You can yes

placid garden
#

NPC scavs, they spawn at the start of the raid, and then never spawn in again?

feral gorge
#

Negative

placid garden
#

@feral gorge From who? Fence?

feral gorge
#

They spawn later too

placid garden
#

ahh

sharp bough
#

do scav raiders attack player scavs ?

#

or no ?

feral gorge
#

@placid garden I'm pretty sure Jager or Skier

waxen forge
#

Yes

sharp bough
#

they do ?

#

okay

trim herald
#

Fence only sells things other players have sold to him, and he charges a premium

waxen forge
#

Raiders and scav boss/boss guards will shot player scavs

sharp bough
#

okay

trim herald
#

I'd avoid him altogether other than as a way to examine a bunch of shit you haven't seen before so you don't have to do it in raid

feral gorge
#

^

terse summit
#

I have a timer below scav raids for 9 mins whats that about

#

I cant choose a scav run

trim herald
#

Once you're lvl 5 and have access to Flea I'd honestly recommend examining literally every single thing on there, it's tedious AF but it may save your life not having to examine something mid raid

feral gorge
#

@terse summit it's to prevent you spamming scav runs

#

It's a set cooldown always

terse summit
#

@feral gorge Should I just wait

placid garden
#

Yeah I've been discovering new items on Fence like crazy to avoid doing it in game

feral gorge
#

You can decrease the cooldown by upgrading intelligence on hideout

split vapor
#

We could get the old 1 hour scav timer back

feral gorge
#

@split vapor hell nah lol

waxen forge
#

Can run PMC offline to practice between scav runs @terse summit

trim herald
#

Run an offline raid @terse summit

terse summit
#

Ok but its only 7min

#

ill just wait

feral gorge
#

I'd recommend go in as a pistoling while new for PMC

#

And focusing on killing scavs

#

Not soo much pvp yet

trim herald
#

The raid series by Pestily is excellent for new players btw, if you haven't seen it on Youtube

#

Avoid Factory also 😄

feral gorge
#

Factory is for when you wanna learn PVP

trim herald
#

Not even, Factory is for when you want to learn Factory

feral gorge
#

lul

placid garden
#

What do I do with dogtags?

feral gorge
#

Well

terse summit
#

@feral gorge Just has a look in my inventory and I have a got a gun and pistols I dont want to lose them so If I go into a scav raid I dont use those guns right

feral gorge
#

Technically not wrong

trim herald
#

It's really not very transferrable to other maps

#

Factory is as close to CoD Tarkov could get I think

feral gorge
#

@terse summit Gear and guns are very easy to get, gear in tarkov comes and goes.

#

But yes as a scav u don't use ur own stuff

vernal anchor
#

Money is infinite

terse summit
#

Oh ok so I shouldnt be a total pussy and not use any weapons.

trim herald
#

Correct

feral gorge
#

Factory has its place in Tarkov and I love it

#

@terse summit bingo

trim herald
#

But I recommend doing some offline raids before you do normal ones for sure

#

I'm not saying it doesn't, I'm just saying whatever you learn from Factory is mostly applicable to Factory. As to get good at that map you play the map well

#

And the pace you play Factory you can't really play most other maps except for MAYBE Labs as long as there's no raiders

feral gorge
#

Hm I find Factory to basically be the aim train map lol

honest tusk
#

Yeah factory is good for cqc practice which can be useful in places like dorms or labs but thats about it

feral gorge
#

Uhm

#

CQC is half of Tarkov

viral ibex
#

i loss my loot to shitty servers again

trim herald
#

I've never found it to be much of an aim training map, as it's so much more about abusing the map, elevation and moving around, that it doesn't really help me for any other map. But I guess it depends on how you play the map also

honest tusk
#

Kinda depends on your playstyle how much cqc i would say

trim herald
#

I'd probably say that scav war, horde and tagged and cursed on offline raid would be better for aim practice

twilit stump
#

So I've just started playing, I've tried raiding 8 times, have died 8 times, and am having a real hard time with this, I want to have fun but it's real discouraging to lose it all every time without feeling like I'm learning or improving. I have next to nothing in my inventory now, what do I do?

feral gorge
#

Hm, nah that's just meat grinder city

#

But Factory in general is that too

#

anyone wanna run some games?

trim herald
#

Clay, try some offline raid and scav raids

#

Get used to how the game plays

feral gorge
viral ibex

no

vernal anchor

I do feel like it's more important to just gain knowledge and experience than just money

viral ibex

i extracted

#

and when im loading out it takes forever then stop loading

hallow thicket
#

do tactical clothing items do anything

feral gorge
#

Not really

hallow thicket
#

is that how you get bigger pockets?

feral gorge
#

Except make you look cool

#

You can't get bigger pockets no

#

It's purely cosmetic

trim herald
#

Can help on certain maps, you can be harder to make out and whatnot

hallow thicket
#

oh someone must have photoshopped that

trim herald
#

But nothing big

#

Scav bosses have bigger pockets, but no one else

feral gorge
#

Yes

hallow thicket
#

maybe he shot a scav boss lmao

feral gorge
#

Scav bosses have big pockets

#

That's it

viral ibex
#

i make it out 60% of the time

#

and 50% of the time it wont load me out and i lose everything

hallow thicket
#

he ss an inventory and asked how they had big pockets

trim herald
#

Then yeah, it's a scav boss

#

They're bosses, so obviously double size pockets to keep all the cash they make 😄

hallow thicket
#

lol

@viral ibex Is that on PMC or scav?

terse summit
#

I choose woods for a scav run

viral ibex
#

scav

feral gorge
#

@terse summit don't

viral ibex
#

i havent been running pmc becaus ei dont want to lose everything

feral gorge
#

Woods is the worst map for scav runs

viral ibex

because of that retarded glitch

terse summit

How do i cancel

feral gorge
#

Anything else would be better

terse summit

If i leave will I have a cooldown

Technically then you haven't lost anything either Chay 😄

You just didn't gain something, there's a difference

scav moves liek bots

@terse summit You'll learn eventually by clothing

i dont think they crouch either

And by gear usually too

dull cave

@waxen forge gratz

its pitch black

waxen forge

Thanks man

viral ibex
#

shoot everything then lol

trim herald
#

Scavs can crouch, but they cannot jump

#

Only PMC's or player scavs can jump and loot

viral ibex
#

if a player is a scav and i killed them would scav kill me?

trim herald
#

Yeah

viral ibex

wtf

unless they hityou first

Scav on scav violence is common but always sad

Can other PMCs join a raid when it is like already 10 mins into the raid?

honest tusk
#

Not often

trim herald
#

Generally no, but it very rarely happens

honest tusk
#

Most pmcs spawn within the first 5 minutes

neon niche
#

because I just had that happened in my game

dull cave
trim herald

All PMC's SHOULD spawn in when the map starts

dull cave

oh well shit

#

nvm

vernal anchor

No a pmc wouldnt spawn into a raid that late

trim herald
#

Generally, it can still happen Mako

dull cave

It's possible, but quite rare

bold kernel
#

They can by manipulating the game

vernal anchor
#

Everyone connects at the same time, but if issues come up then thats separate from intentional design

trim herald

But they don't though dude

#

If there's a low pop server you can get assigned to it even if it's already in progress

dull cave

I've sherpa'd potatoes that have managed to take 15 minutes, but generally most spawn within ~2 minutes of the deploying timer

ok so in my last raid

trim herald
#

I've joined maps that've been in progress for longer than I've been on the loading screens

bold kernel
#

Well some people do. I've read a post on reddit from a dude who says he intentionally disconnects so he can join the raid as pmc 10 minutes in, idk why though

neon niche

my friend and i were running towards the zb-1011 evac

Yeah you can intentionally do it too, but that's not always the only reason

and a guy just spawned in

it was already 10 mins into the raid

cuz he spawned right behind us

@vapid folio Sort of, there'll be a point where they stop spawning if you keep killing them

@viral ibex look at that wiki pageg

#

all that can fit in a scav junkbox

viral ibex

what can hold it all?

trim herald

You sure he just spawned in then? And you didn't just run past him while he was hiding in a bush or something? @neon niche

Im pretty sure scavs are meant to spawn infinitely, but they spawn in waves and raids only last so long

lucky scav junkbox

what about the icase

what does that hold

dull cave

no

anything

i thought it icase cost a lot less

dull cave

yep

waxen forge

Junk box is f or those who (like me and many others) start collecting task items and now Hideout items on day 1. We collect all the items necessary and then when we get the task we can just hand them in vs. starting the grind for them after accepting the task

1/3 as much as junkbox

do you have ammo?

you can manually take mags out the gun

I killed 1 scav but ran out of ammo in my pistol

rip lol

terse summit

Was sitting looking through keybinds

so confused

#

Whilst this other guy was blowing my arm off with a shotgun

bold kernel
#

if you have bad ammo, a scav can take 3 mags even with a pistol

#

so I'd just say get a better ammo, or bring a cheap gun instead or whatever

#

Does anyone know when the next wipe will happen?

trim herald
#

Tip when it comes to fighting scavs, don't just stand around and fight them. If they spot you, run for cover and break line of sight and then reengage on your terms

bold kernel
#

I wasted like... phew... 10 mags on some scavs when I started out? and only killed a few... the bad ammo, with the bad pistol... its just horribad

dull cave

nobody knows

honest tusk

Let scavs come to you

trim herald
#

ESPECIALLY if they go prone because they'll fuck you

dull cave
#

wipe happens when it wants to

#

probably another couple months

honest tusk

Yeah players win fights on intelligence and tactics against scavs usually rather than skill

@bold kernel BSG have said March, may very well be a bit delayed though

the ones without "??????????" are guaranteed open (for that raid)

Some extracts (usually for pmc) cost rubles

shadow solstice

they are still encoded

yo sometimes i see the extract number being red or green what do those mean?

dull cave

sometimes they turn colors for fun

but if like, car extract was read

red

it means its gone

so i think this is a channel where i can ask for some help in the game? i am lvl 6 and still learning and maybe someone wants to do some raids together with me 🙂

anything you can snag as a scav

you keep

stray stirrup
#

is it possible to get a gamma container in game without buying EoD?

opaque ferry
#

@stray stirrup no, you can get Epsilon or Kappa

honest tusk
#

Through quests i think

#

But yeh no gamma

stray stirrup
#

are they 9slot too?

#

ok found out kappa is 3x3

#

thanks

opaque ferry
#

Epsilon is a 2x4

upbeat flax
#

@stray stirrup kappa is 4x3?

opaque ferry
#

kappa is 3x4

stray stirrup
#

a yes sorry

upbeat flax
stray stirrup
#

well

#

says 3x3

#

so i'm not looking at grid size ><

#

but inventory stat

#

got it

upbeat flax
#

grid size is how big it's in the inventory

fluid path
#

you have to do all quests in the game for Kappa

upbeat flax
#

"inventory" on the wiki page is the size of the inside

opaque ferry
fluid path
#

doable but ... look up !wiki epsilon

#

!wiki epsilon

broken quailBOT
upbeat flax
#

epsilon is just finishing punisher

#

which can be tedious either way

fluid path
#

its the only practical upgrade

#

the beta is not worth it at all

#

opaque ferry
#

wipe = everyone starts at 0 with conditions of if you have EOD or xmas bonus

honest tusk
#

Quests are always the same though unless new ones are added

mighty jasper
#
