but the person who shot you doesn't like what XD
is it just players that drop dog tags?
I have had plenty of instances where I have shot and killed a teammate and he and I both agreed it was his fault I killed him
To punish the same guy every time just doesn't make sense
ok yeah but like the 1% healing thing after raid should count
But why?
not like bans or self dmg
@dull silo pmc drop tag, not player scav
I don't know where to post this, if there's dedicated LFG discord. But i'm new and have watched a few tutorials. Wondering if someone want to join me ingame for a round or two that i can learn from?
because people literally invite ppl and ppl join thinking their friend did or whatever they quickly ready then kill them or something
R6 flashback
just the 1% after raid thing would be nice to the people who killed
Team kills are always the person who died's fault
when youre a scav about to destroy a geared pmc but your game stutters for 2 seconds so he fucks you
it won't effect them during the raid but after raid they just gotta heal or something idk
thats why you look at the name before accepting
I mean that just sounds like people aren't paying attention then
hm whats a good cheap gun for the surivalist quest that you need to kill scavs with no armor?
That's not really a problem other people should shoulder for people that don't read 
was gonna bring my sks with scope and silencer but no armor kinda make hesitate lol
sv98 isnt too much
sv98 and no scope or there is a cheap one?
there are some cheap ones
I wouldn't go SV98 because if you run into a PMC or a situation with multiple scavs in close proximity, you gonna get rekt
Just grab OPSKS and throw a mid range scope on it
whats a mid range scope lol
Oof sks
The worst and least accurate 7x39 rifle
And can get an ak103 pso for same cost

anyone know if IDEA and OLI registers give same as Goshan?
In what world is the AK-103 cheaper than an SKS?
Or rather, same cost*
AK-103 is 10k more expensive
more like 5k
Why the pilad
its cheap?
I'm staring at the flea market right now it's 10 more expensive
anyone know if IDEA and OLI registers give same as Goshan?
And an AK-103 is 35k
Yes I know what the difference is lol
Cheapest ak-103 on market right now is 34k rubles
tfw been afk for hours and still no sherpa 
what do i need for 1p59 on sks or it dosent work?
is there any suggestion on reclaiming insurance? i keep getting bad owner errors
Or you could spend 10k less and just put the PSO on your SKS.
it's really up to you
Or you can spend 13k for veprkm and 13k for 1p59 for 26k

Which is better than sks btw
ugh i already got an sks with pso, now an 1p59
Just sell it on market lmfao
i will probably die so might as well build a second gun
Nou
Just try both lol and use what suits you @plucky reef
hello?

You needed to do a shit ton of dmg to armor and flesh just to get a kill
hey
That's really bad ttk lol
anyone willing to play with a noob and teach him some things?
I'm newbie, and i was wondering if someone can help me in a raid! ❤️
But that was also ammo

DAMNI'T I WAS DOING IT
I restarted my computer REEEEEEEEEEEE

whats the best way to level up peacekeeper? Dude doesn't have shit that i want lol
Quests. Level up. Buy dollars
anyone wanna play with a new player?
@valid crow u up to play with another noob?
You will need the dollars bud dont worry.
@valid crow sure thing
He will have stuff you want in the later levels and as Delta said, USD is used often
I think it's 8k$?
@acoustic sentinel @stuck quest sure!
You rite
perfect!
ill just sign in
so will just buying the 10k or so i need of usd from him take care of that?
i need a bastion for vepr and 1p59 or what
@stuck quest @valid crow so we go to a voice chat or how you want to do this?
guess i should check what level 2 has first, cause it will be that, or an items case lol
Yeah, just never sell stuff to Peacekeeper, you lose some money on it. If you ever need USD just buy them from him directly.
expensive ugh oki
Other than interchange
30k should be total cost is expensive?
What's a good map to do scav run?
oh shit he sells m4a1's
For a rifle that can clap cheeks being cheap that's a deal.
He sells American/European guns
what else than bastion?
That's cheapest option.
yeah but i cant put the scope on hm
Here is what he sells at level 4 loyalty
1p69 mount.
Or at least part of what he sells.
Lmao
The 1p59 and 1p69 scope are the same thing
Irl, one is for svd, the other for sv98
The svd is a dovetail system. The sv98 is a weaver mounted system
Slide the 1p59 in the 1p69 mount.
just say what its called for vepr i cant find 69 thingy

?
keep 50k vss or sell
Vss slaps
so keep and use ?
Sp6 takes down lvl 4 armor no problem
And has no recoil
You just have to get used to to heavy drop past 50-75m
Can I get a mag for it thats more than 10 rounds?
VSS is pretty nice since you don't really need to do anything to it
Yeah you can get 30s
30s can be a bit expensive if you aren't prepared to shoulder the cost
Tap fire it don't full auto
About 24k IIRC
can i buy the 20s from a low level trader?
For pretty much a 70k total build, it slaps geared boys fora gun with no recoil and sounds like a mouse fart past 15meters
I am a kinda new player. Any veterans or just people who kinda know some of the maps who are up for helping me later?
Click it again
yeah but i mean instead of like 3 click to get it to 1
It's the only scope that does it that way. Just rebind key to mouse 3 and 4
For change zoom/optic
Its easy
not saying it's hard just a bit annoying
Or rebind it to an easy one click key
Minor inconvenience for a cheap and effective scope
Hey all, brand new here, only lvl 4. I gotta say I fucking suck at this compared to my experience in DayZ or any other shooter like this
Shit is hard as fuck
I feel like im already bent over lol
when playin as scav is it worth killin other scav
@gilded cypresspersonal preference
its very hard to find groups or active LFG sites
🤷

hold breath is that toggle or hold down? i have hold it down but i think its wrong
oh ok
I use toggle and hold for sprint
@plucky reef you can set hold breath and sprint on hold/toggle
whatever you want in settings
on shift
I changed my hold breath to shift
^
Like normal games
Delta clearly just copied me
how do i see if its hold or toggle?
Rather obvious
Alt free look
just says alt
Continuous is hold
^
Press is toggle
oh ok thanks
<>^
Because they're Russian and can't use normal terms 😄
(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
press and release are both toggle, on key press or on key release - lets you bind multiple things to the same key
ugh

what is the best grip to lower recoil for m4?

If you want +13 more ergo and 2 teeny tiney negligible recoil points less than rk2, get cqr
i want the least recoil
can you command the ai?
Least recoil is RK-2
or scavs
Whats the best assault rifle i can mod together and carry 200 rounds for under 250k?
like have em follow you lol
Take both and tell me you can tell a difference between 2 recoil points
I'll wait for your answer

You can get an AR of any calibre with 200 rounds for under 250k, just depends on how much you mod it
i took the rk
Anyone willing to run a raid or two with a new player? I signed up for the sherpa thing but apparently it has a long ass queue atm
So I can hide in a bush for 20 minutes, move 2 feet, and die... or just move 2 feet and die... pretty much all I can do is die...
Have fun with dildo
bout to play my first round, anyone care to join?
@prisma sand That's Tarkov when you start out. You'll get better 😄
@prisma sand learn from your mistakes. Analyze what you did wrong. Learn spawns. Learn paths.
Lol been playing on and off for a while now... but I always just get frustrated and give up
People are predictable
Domt be predictable
Literally scavs are worse to deal with than players
100%
Watch pestily begginer guides
And his pilot series
You can gain valuable knowledge that way
I'll check those out, thanks
Any tips for doing scav run in custom?
lay in the grass for 30 minutes and then make a mad dash for scraps
but yeah, my luck on scav runs in customs is terrible. I recently switched to interchange for scav runs and man you can get A LOT of stuff for relatively zero risk
Yeah watch a show or YouTube video and let everyone e kill eachother
Interchange is...
Pog tactic
i've had great luck staying on the outside of the mall
the power plant in the NE corner is great
is there a cheap sight to buy early game?
Are there loots outside of the mall?
yes

the power plant at the north east corner has like 2 computers, 4 toolboxes, tons of jackets/loose loot, filing cabinet, mod box and few others all very close and you can get to either extract relatively safely as well

and theres some roaming scavs on the outside which i've basically just used as an alarm system. lol
How do I get back the items I insured
Do they all come at once?
Or can I "store" it with whoever I insured with
You get them as mail via the messenger x number of hours after/if they've been recovered.
how do you get so much money to buy cases to organize your stash
Depending on who you insured them with, you have x number of hours to pick them up.
Is there any way to reset my account and start from scratch? Have pretty much run out of money and lost all my starting gear on various raid attempts
@icy thorn there is an ingame profile reset option, but I wouldn't recommend using it. You can always do Scav runs to get some gear. https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/support/knowledge/328
I mean I'm still level 1 so I wouldn't lose anything
where do i buy some sights for guns, im getting clapped in fire fights cus i cant see anything lul
I have a 200,000 ruble question: If you have a labs keycard and go into labs in offline mode, does it use up the card?
Haven't managed a single escape as a raider or a scav yet either
Yeah, but if you reset you won't have your glorious redemption arc.
offline uses nothing including keycards
sweet
buy sights from traders or flea market
what is the "Glorious Redemption Arc"?
I'm just completely lost I think lol
thanks!
the redemption from broke to a few million roubles for me was a heavenly feeling
if you're really level 1 i would reset. also practice in offline and do scav runs
i've been playing for like 3 or 4 weeks now
All you white-names should head over to #521628660298678283 and #news-setup and hope the bots like you.
need to learn maps and extracts
completely broke with no guns and shit, now i got a lot of cases and a stash of weapons/armor etc
I get the maps and extracts its just I've never seen a single person, just instantly get killed
Are there any burst rifles?
play slower i guess
I don't even bother really looting on scav runs? just trying to hit an extract asap
i think mp5 is only gun with burst setting
Wow, lame
but burst is kinda bad with recoil system
Thanks though
thats a fair strat @icy thorn sometimes you can even spawn in with shit thats worth TONS of roubles. Today i spawned in with 2 keys, one worth 700k and another worth 250k, so i literally just extracted immediately
I've also tried signing up for the sherpa thing but apparently that's super backlogged right now
been deploying custom if that matters?
since i have the quest and everything
here i go lol
Don't just extract as Scav, that's where you can make free money!
if i extract as a scav and get ran through, does it hurt me in any way?
what if i get ran through as a pmc?
run throughs show up in your stats, if you care
it also reduces exp gained (i don't know the exact modifier, but its pretty heavy)
will it take my xp? or just reduce what i get?
although as pmc, if you kill 1 scav or 2, it wont be a runthrough anymore
just reduce what you would have gotten
just reduce how much you get
300xp to avoid a run through
ah ok. so ran through is basically a good idea if u want to keep the stuff u got
honestly, i don't worry about run throughs, it means i keep my gear if i don't feel confident fighting
^ truth
thats the strat honestly, just remain aware of your options/situation
especially when you spawn in on scav with a 200k value item
like sometimes, you'll just hear 2 squads of thicc bois going at each other and it's like, i'll just take my ak and walk away thanks
or you'll hear one guy running around, mowing down scavs, and making as much noise as he wants and not caring
not gonna lie i dont even find pmc squads for some reason in factory or customs
if you have some kits and stuff built up and more comfortable with the game in general, then you can start being more risky with your scavvy boi
he might be overconfident, but it's not likely 😛
i think squads in factory aren't common because there's so few pmcs
i barely find one lone pmc if im lucky on those two
there's no loot, so the only point is to pvp or do quests
and if you bring in a squad of 4, you can face max 2 other pmcs... so... why bother right
ugh speaking of quest, i have to do that one where i drop off the files.
find a group of 5, send 2 ahead and 2 behind as you move, and all of them guard you as you plant
then send one guy ahead to extract to check for campers and get out after 😄
lmao that sounds nice on paper, just have to find 4 willing sacrifi-..... squad mates.
any pmc that also spawns will get their head blown off
super honestly, it's OK exp for hunting scavs since that's mostly all you'll face
Where the hell am I ? I'm in a playground
Idea out front
northwest, outside idea
is woods or interchange a better loot map?
interchange
interchange for sure
woods is the map you play when you feel like getting your head blown off 500m away
i hate woods, it's so open so i'm 100% paranoid all the time
oh ok wrong playground @wet spade
and what kind of fuel would i use for my hideout gen? i tried to look on the flea market from some and just got confused lol
I assume I'm on the East of the map?
west
OH the malls are a rectangle?
like 2/5 up from the bottom, west side
I thought it's like U shaped
no, the mall is one giant (almost perfectly) rectangular building
Ok you guys mention that looting outside is fine
@loud lion yes you have to be pmc
Where again? Sorry 😛
if you look at the overview map (diagram to the top left)
Okay, will try my best to do
Sort of!
actually maybe further north, like just southwest of the main entrance (bump in the middle of the grey block)
good luck 🙂
finally building the shooting range 
congrats :D
i know it isnt very "realistic" or "hardcore", but i wish that shooting range was available from the start
made it cross the river lol
hello
and so i feel like shooting range benefits new players more than intermediate
it already doesnt use bullets so its not like its super realistic anyways
hi
Did anyone heard of installation error msg ? When i finish downloading and then error pops up and it wipes all the installed files?
So, i've bought this game a few days ago
level 3 pmc, have a good idea of customs but would like to play with someone
I've only been playing like 3 or 4 weeks, so theres still a ton of guns i'll benefit from testing out in the shooting range, i'm stoked about it
and i wouldn't kill the scavs unless you're ready to kill them all/get out quick if it goes bad.
Customs take forever to load
when playing as scav, dont kill ai unless you have a good reason to
Any fixes?
I use them as an alarm, if they start shooting, you got someone coming your way
Guys, i want to start playing Shoreline properly. Can somebody give me a list of all important keys to resort? Please.
@rocky hemlock ssd helps
i have a friend who had it on hdd, and he always loaded a minute or two slow
because for some reason, matches can start without everybody fully loaded
pick the daytime one for fastest queue times
Been on matching for 15 minutes
On daytime, I can get in other servers within 4 min but customs takes 15+ and still can’t find a server
what's the value of this gun roughly if i should sell it on flea market?
jesus that things a beefcake
beefcake? Xd
anyone using VPO-215?
dunno how good it is but it looks valuable lol
i am level 19* LOL
HELLO
i be happy lvl 5 lol
i meant level 19*
still at 4
@loud lion everything there combined should be between 250-350k roughly
lmao then go check
but i would sell the pieces individually
Sup peeps
i think its difficult to sell full modded guns
anybody want to join my game?
since people sort by cheapest and buy parts anyways
Is the weapon crate right at East accessible w/o keys?
Outside of HAMOI?
Whatever that mall is..
should be but that area is kinda sketchy
yins 😮
i dont like it lol
@brittle pelican what are you going to do?
@long spear i got that and this gun in the same raid
i need to heal then i can
i don't know what it is, but i have terrible success with interchange, too dark for me to see anything
the only time i go to interchange i stay outside, haven't gotten comfortable enough with it to bring a full kit yet
like i go into garage and can't see SHIT lmao
i'll trade you a splint for it :^)
i'm learning though
lmao
like every other traders on the market, i'll do it for 200 labs keycards 😉
lmao
looking for guide customs/factory
i got a keycard in a scav raid today, but haven't been able to sell it because everybody is underselling for 100k like constantly
the worst part is, it doesn't even make sense to do that, the people who are buying keycards have enough money out their butt to pay higher
yea its quite common now to spawn with keycard
or willing to play any map really, only have played those two
so the only thing it does is make yourself and everybody else sadder
don't play factory as pmc, early on anyways
it is a pvp map
Looking for a Sherpa for customs, bought the game today and got to Level 5, just want some help learning the map.
yeah, the "difficulty" rating is total bs
i just want to unlock flea market at least :C
are you on the prapor 1 quest?
yes
Yes
both therapist and prapor
do you know where scavs spawn?
Yes
kinda
best thing to complete it is to just hunt scavs, extracting comes second imo
early anyways, exp > money
read the wiki for your quests
it will tell you whether extraction is necessary
for prapor 1, killing scavs and dying is still progress
Word, is there a good place to find sherpas or is this the spot
best way to complete prapor 1 is to learn where you are, and learn where scavs will be, killing them is relatively easy
just don't panic, you have about 3-5 seconds (depends how close to them you are) to shoot them like 3 times in the chest
scavs are relatively easy yeah, its just that gunfire draws players
at which point do player scavs usually spawn in as pmc?
how common is extraction camping?
it can be quite early, i once spawned into interchange 8 minutes into a raid
and i don't know if its common, but in about 90+% of my extracts, there's no camper
could just be my experience, and i don't extract reliably so take it with a grain of salt
Player scavs have started spawning super early recently
man i just hit a shot at 108 whatever units they use for distance with my mosins ironsights and i couldn't be happier it was on a pmc lol
igot if you want to avoid pmcs, i would say that the big red building west of customs and dorms have the most likelihood of running into a pmc
not to say there won't be pmcs elsewhere, but that's generally where i find pmcs concentrate most
if i hit "use all" on my water while in the stash, will it really use it all or whatever i need to get to 100?
ive been stripping weapons im not using and sell it to mechanic, is that good?
is it to boost his rep?
and some parts like silencers, scopes are more on flea
no he pays better for parts than mechanic, but won't buy every part
ah ok
so sell to him, then the remainder to mechanic
how does duo work?
oh yeah i'm looking for some tips on that
I am assuming there's not much difference between M4A1 and LX 15 [Lone star] right?
ragman 1 is to get ragman LL2, but i'm only at like 180k and need 1M
thanks guys
im thinking of buying the army helmets and selling them on flea but idk if thats a good idea
yeah but other than that I guess theres not much difference
im assuming m4 is better becaues of that automatic fire
Im inside breach room on factory trying to do helthcare part 5
So, would anyone like to play through customs with me?
but i'm unable to place the items
do i sell pressure gauge?
@next vessel Nope
it's not like automatic is "better" than semi
they're just different.
@nimble cipher sure lol
does anyone know if the pressure gauge is needed for a quest
so would you choose lone star over m4?
I use both
im just on edge cause ive been KoS by people ive grouped with :C
m4 when i feel like going meta in labs
never ever ever random group
TX-15 for casual sniping on any range.
i love that rifle
but tx-15 works in labs too
I love m1a more than tx-15 though
Can anyone help me with healthcare privacy 5
m1a shoots faster, has better bullets
and same cost
so it's a nobrainer for me
and it looks cool
i think BSG is trying to come up with a system to prevent/heavily disincentivize random group TKing, but there's nothing in place yet
Veyx, have you ever done healthcare privacy 5?
@wet spade you have to use a CMS or surv12
to heal it
anyone looking to run in customs to kill scavs? we might die
I'm down
^
what about SAI handguards, which one is better 18" or 20"?
I saw a tutorial video, stood in the same spot, still hadn't the option to place
@supple creek inv too?
@next vessel for what gun
and what purpose
silenced, non silenced, how low recoil?
CQB or long range?
Anyone wanna play? I am brand new
In general 20" barrels are nice for AR 15s
@nimble cipher what is your in game name?
just a bit long, that's the only downside, but still works fine cqb
@worthy gulch #521628660298678283 #news-setup #pvp-lfg
@stone surge M4 or LX15, good balance between close, mid and long range[im thinking about 150meters], low recoil, silencer
Do you lose your game edition after every wipe?
Build an M4 to accept the Jailbreak muzzlebrake and youll forever be changed on short barrel m4s
No @static kite
Okay thank you
@next vessel If youre wanting to use the jailbreak muzzlebrake you can only use the short barrel
WHY!?
How do I tell if I've killed a PMC
because the muzzleflash is shit?
or a Scav?
dogtags
Jailbreak with the Corvette is the way to go, I think.
Must be a personal issue cuz ive never seen anything like that lol
Players have dogtags for sure?
nope
Yes, lol
it's not personal issues
pmc dogtags
if they havent been looted @wet spade
it's just how jailbreak works
not scav palyers
i have like 30 screws/bolts, should i sell to trader or flea?
this screenshot is also not taken from my own POV
it's from a streamer
and it's in general known jailbreak causes muzzleflash
Can keep them for hideout. Or do "required search" and see if there are any decent trades up
Otherwise sell on market
is hideout rly worth it
Weird, I use it with REAP and have zero muzzle flash
It has some benefits
I make 3 bitcoins every 18 hours so yes, its worth it.
Increased healing rate. Scav cool down
Make magboxes, grizzleys, superwaters, moonshines, etc.
I enjoy the steady supply of bitcoin as well.
How do I put gasoline in the hideout generator?
@next vessel What's your budget, also M4 or Lonestar?
laughs in reset in 3 months
i can make one for you if you want but i'd need to know what u want
I wanted to upgrade and fucused on it. I've been finished with it for weeks. I have no regrets.
Generator. Drop down boxes. Select fuel can.
find it or buy it from flea market but make sure u inspect it to make sure its full before buy from flea market
@stone surge M4 max budget, lonestar 150k
Do you have fuel cans?
ugh it hurts to level traders
Not everything sold to traders is a loss.
HELLO
wheres the copy pasta
Prapor is a cheap fat fuck
Some tech sells just as well to therapist as flea.
i level prapor buy literally buying stuff from him
@waxen forge yes, I have a can
secondly, you can just BUY and SELL BACK for a 33% loss
money is not hard in this game
You clicked on generator in Hideout. Should have drop down boxes.
what would be the fastest way of leveling or is it just go in get kills and go out
I use flea but at the same time still sell damn near all weapons and weapon parts to skier and mechanic.
Tasks.
Fastest way to get XP. Tasks.
does sanitary standards pt 2 require found in raid gas anal
aight ty
I never have trouble leveling traders. Yea every once in a while I have to buy and sell back to 1 trader to get them over the hump but overall it's not difficult.
Get to tasking
yaa
@opaque plank maybe you can go into voice channel and "go live" for the generator thing. I'm on phone but I'm sure on of these guys can take a look for you.
damn bro i rly gotta find 5 morphine things in raid
can i have a friend bring them in for me or nag
nah
Nope.
"find in raid" means the item spawns in world. Cannot be brought in by a player.
frick crap
how tf imma find 5 morphines in raid
ive found like 3 so far
and that was in labs
shoreline rooms are good
Mantis interchange. The little med station by tech light and the other med store on 2nd floor idea side.
@modern steppe go to shorline resort
when exactly do scavs spawn? is there a set time, and do pmcs all spawn at the same time?
i can in 10 mins @modern steppe
ty brah
Pmc spawn at beginning of raid. Load time can be a minute or so late with hardware.
ok so my only having 8gb of ram actually is detrimental
Scavs spawn soon after them more later and more even later.
i thought so with the amount of times i spawned in and people were set up for me
Yea 8gb hurts.
no ssd either, brutal
Yea bad combo.
shooting some guy with my mosin makes it all worth it though
Yes sir.
scavs spawn in all at once? like in waves?
First wave within minutes then more later and another wave later.
and do the player scav spawns correlate w ai scav spawns
No
Player scavs can spawn in let's say as early as 5 minutes after raid starts up to 1/2 way through
ok, this is very useful info ty
Np
so to level up skier do i just buy his stuff and sell it back to him?
sure, that works cheap enough
whatys best way
no best way, if you want $ bought so you can rep him right now, do that
you can do it slowly by just selling him attachments u get and stuff over time
if you dont haul in lots of stuff like gun attachments he can buy, youll probably need to just buy/sell rinse and repeat
if you actually could get them near lvel 50, very noticeable
there have been people who found ways to get strength to 50 and were supermen in the game
hucking nades and sprinting like you wouldnt believe
organically w/o farming? not really noticeable
you had to game it to get it to level, and theyve recently nerfed most? all? skill farming.
But I'm still at a pretty big disadvantage against someone who has high skills?
not necessarily in a shootout, but if you tried to get away or outmaneuver them, probably
Yeah I got wrecked by some guy who was like The Flash or some shit
itd be uncommon to run into players with max skills, and more uncommon to have it be what killed you
yeah that might be it. i dont see it very often tbh, but there are some maxed players this wipe
before the nerf
weird that they'd nerf it without resetting skills tbh
Now there's people who are on top and no one who can catch up?
pretty much

even better, some quests are gated behind "get sniper level X"
to finish all quests and get your kappa
how in the world do my friend and I group up? we just got the game
some players have been stuck now
so you group per map, right after insurance screen
youll want to hit looking for group and have 1 invite ppl
you can also become friends to show up at the top of the LFG screen
@alpine trout it's a beta and they do full-on wipes with the larger content drops, usually.
become friends by inviting using the messenger...its pretty...unintuitive
make sure you go to the same map, same time, and hit "looking for group" or you wont see each other in the player list
i was not pressing next and just hit ready becuase i saw no map and assumed i was done lol thank you for the help!!!
need someone to help me build my hideout
@worldly rivet trying to figure out the same thing 1mil
D:
6b3 rig or trooper TFO for level 4 armor
vepr KM with 762x39 BP for a nice semiauto rifle thats good at most ranges
for full auto? you can run MP5 but 9mm AP is expensive for what you get and PST isnt good this late
VSS is inexpensive, 9x39 SP6 has great pen
AK74 with some mods and BS ammo
im looking for a build i can make like 10 times
so i can make profit, and if i die its not too hard on me
try making any of those 3-5 times
do i mod the vepr, or just use the default one
there are some cheap mods that are worth it
AK-100 handguard for a grip
dynacomp muzzle
GP-25 recoil pad
thats still throw-away price with a 20k Vepr KM off the flea
oh, and tt-01 sight adapter lets you put a micro red dot like PK-06 or RMR on the gun
wait, what's better the TFO or the 6b3
well ones armor, ones a rig. the TFO has higher durability, bit more expensive
can be repaired several times easy due to its material
gonna be 70k
6b3 should be like 45k
Ok TFO prices have gone up
must be less ppl running labs
it was cheaper, markets volatile. 6b3 rig is probably the more affordable bet
i took 3 6b3's
ceramic level 4 is your worst investment, hard to repair that junk
the armor material determines repairability
anyway to change discord server nicknames?
would be easier for people to find my game name in LFG
yes, right click the server and choose change nickname
will only change it for this server
someone help me plant this thing on factory please
i just bought this game tonight and im super mega ultra lost. if someone could like show me the basics that would be really helpful and super cool!
@thin osprey anyway i tried for this server it doesnt show the option but it shows up on other servers ive been to
i guess they have it disabled
thanks though, i thought so too
np
Why does it feel like the front sight will block my optic?
Ahhh it's called gas block...
I took out the front barrel 😛
Quick question. am big noob. game says i need a map to go to factory or something. how does one get said map? am super lost.
You don't need the in game map
ahhh. ok. thx. it was just saying that i dont have the proper map in my inventory.
noob question, are you able to do scav runs with other people?
Yes
oh damn, that's nice, thanks!
so im looking for a helmet that works with my tactical sport earphones, whats a good one to get?
@bold kernel SSH -> TC-2001/ACHHC -> LZSH + Windshield -> Airframe + Chops + Windshield
Ssh-68 if you're on a budget
in that order from worst to best (on average), last 2 are more expensive coz faceshield. TC-2001/ACHHC are good tier 4 options
i got it with a scav loadout
depends what fits your budget
You could even do no helmet at all
Ulach is also an option, but for 70-80k i find it kind apricy
what are the range of earphones though? i thought the ones you can get from the merchant were the worst... GSS*
depends on the headphone
most people use sordins (so do I) exclusively. but some people like comtacts.
I would say try sordins or comtacts, see which you like more
GSSH = earrape so avoid it
and tact sports are kinda... inaccurate distance wise (imo)
whats the difference between them though?
I'm quite used to GSSH lmoa
comtacts sound... idk weird and stupid
and tact sports sound nice, but even ppl 20-30meters away from you
sound like as if they walk RIGHT next to you
my vote goes for sordins
i love them so much I can't play w/o them anymore
😄
but test them out
maybe you dont like them at all
but it takes a while to get used to headsets
so i would wear it for multiple raids and then decide.
Some people don't even wear headsets at all lul
headphones -> helmet
if i had to choose between airframe without headphones or sordins + no helmet
i'd go for sordins
what does the hand holding icon mean in the lobby? is that a sherpa?
Any sherpas available to help me learn the game?
@lyric storm hard to tell
because helmet has a lot of factors when it comes to holding bullets.
when ur behind glass (like green keycard room in labs or kiba store) helmets tend to hold bullets pretty well, but idk about the specific data on this.
but tier 4 helmet has ofc a greater chance of holding bullets than tier 3.
it has only a slight chance (20%?) on actually holding m855a1
but it also has a chance to ricochet
so prob around 30% total chance in holding m855a1
and when behind glass an even greater chance.
it also depends on how much durability the helmet has left
30/30 and 20/20 is a pretty big deal
gaaaa i hate running into fully geared players. Just trying to do my stupid customs quests, and keep running into fully armored players who shrug off my shots while spraying laser beams at me
yeh customs is a bitch
i hate that they force new players into that map honestly
the quests are boring too
the first quest right?
im on extortion now
@stone surge I don't know why so many players live that map.
this is like my 10th attempt, half of them i got pretty far, killed a few players and what not, but always end up running into a fully armored player with a crazy gun that shreds me
no way to avoid em
at this point i just see bulky helm with faceshield and panic
@mint hawk customs could be a decent map (imo the biggest downfall is the lack of interesting points/buildings
there's not much besides dorms
but another thing is the chokes
they should give more paths to go from A to B
like be able to move between the 2 factory sites
instead of being forced to go on the road
@stone surge I just run straight for the vehicle extract to catch the hatchling mark runner xD
@stark fable gross..
dont run naked =\
if you run naked and you die oyur at 1hp, it takes forever to heal
LUBEMAN!
@pseudo mural not really.. Just a simply click
@stark fable how's that gna stop you from running into decked players?
Wish I could have a successful customs raid
@stark fable I get the feeling you die coz you get greedy tbh
:(
Stop hugging the wall
Got some questions
Is doing almost nothing but killa kiba runs with loaded friends gonna teach me the game
Second, hypothetically speaking theres another sale next month
And i have cash to spare
I mean it should be?
Should i buy eod even if i suck
You and your friends are gonna run into unforeseen situations
Buy it if it's worth it to you
@sullen storm spamming killa will learn you the game i guess ye
that you'll learn from
is there jump crouch so you can get to higher places?
is there a weapon selling guide?
if you wanna sell ur weap
dissemble it
sell everything to skier first, then to mechanic
for max profit
silencers/scopes/ (expensive handguards)
are sold to flea for max profit
max profit + you get sales to more traders!
Ah shit, I've never disassembled my guns before selling
is jump crouch a thing or not?
Looks like now I will
tbh lots of gun stuff can be sold on flea for more than skier
Levelling up traders is important afaik tho
i don't have access to flea
fuck.. was so close.... was just crossing the river to get to teh checkpoint extract, sat still for a min to make sure no one was around, tried crossing, and still got gunned down
like which ones to sell, which ones to keep?
can anybody tell me how the air filtering unit works
but if u really 100% wanna max profit even though it's almost nothing
i just put the filter in and it starts bringing my skills up or just for one raid
i guess you could sell most stuff on flea
Well there has been some pvp doing those killa runs
But we mostly been doing night raids for very small populations
in the end you need money spent for trader rep anyways
Meaning actual unforseen circumstances is few and far
i think it helps you level up those skills while the filters are good
your margin will be more than the commission. its not super useful for some stuff, where its like around 1-2k
gives you bonus xp
The interchange scav run was a solid suggestion. Just had 2 great runs (managed to pick up a vase in one)
