[frozen bone]

i had some limuted success selling drops weapons parts on flea

[stark fable]

interchange runs are by far the most successful for me as a newb, but also really boring

as a scav ofcourse

[stone surge]

interchange boring?

wut

i find interchange one of the best maps

it offers everything

[stark fable]

its so dark and big

and i still dont really know where i am

[steep kettle]

Get a map up on another monitor while you play or something

[prisma sand]

That's what I ended up doing

[steep kettle]

That's what I do while learning maps

[prisma sand]

That and I ran through it once offline

[steep kettle]

I walk around and look at each of the landmarks and just glance at the map so I always know where I am at

[stark fable]

even with the map

i can never tell which part of oli or idea im in

[frozen bone]

what small stores are worth hitting other than the tech ones?

[stark fable]

and orienting my self is impossible since its all indoors

[stone surge]

@frozen bone emercom

and medical ones

for potential ledx and meds

[prisma sand]

weapons crates down in the parking garage seem to go unlooted often as well

[frozen bone]

ahhh ok

[steep kettle]

I need to do more scav runs on interchange and get the hang of where to loot I think

I'm happy that I just got level 5 though so I'm able to sell on the flea market finally

[frozen bone]

is interchange noob friendly for pmc? every other pmc will also be in/heading to the mall, and there might still be geared people going for killa who will slaughter me easily

[stone surge]

@frozen bone then why go mall?

[frozen bone]

scav runs seem ok, but all the good stuff is gone

[stone surge]

Oli run takes less than 2mins

and ur stacked with 300k easily

[prisma sand]

There's been a big fight going on every time i'm near oli. I steer clear lol

[pseudo mural]

as long as I'm not there first

oli is good

I pick oli clean of tubes/hoses/fuel/propane/etc

[stone surge]

oli is stacked with mechanical stuff

like propanes, motors, fuel, helix, hoses

and whatnot

[pseudo mural]

ya

[stone surge]

it's easy to get a full backpack

[pseudo mural]

all of em are worth a lot

[stone surge]

if you look well

msot of the players dont loot Oli correctly

[frozen bone]

hmm i see

[stone surge]

so there's plenty of loot

[pseudo mural]

they're on the shelves

[steep kettle]

do you guys do scav or pmc for Oli runs?

[stone surge]

always pmc

i dont play scav anymore

[pseudo mural]

same

[stone surge]

but after a while pmc just makes more money

and i cant stand being shot in the leg

or stomach

and not having meds

[pseudo mural]

plus exp

[stone surge]

and dying 100%

[steep kettle]

I'm only level 5 so I'm not trying to lose my stuff so fast by playing pmc a lot lol

[prisma sand]

what map do you recommend as an early pmc?

[pseudo mural]

ya learn with scavs

[stone surge]

i rather even do a run with just a SKS or w/e other cheap weapon + some basic meds in my container

than go scav

[steep kettle]

What map is good to scav run for a beginner to get some good money?

[stone surge]

Interchange

[pseudo mural]

Watch pestily's beginner series

it will help you

[stone surge]

Shoreline is fine too, just look villaghe and u come out with decent loot already

[steep kettle]

ok I'll watch that

[stone surge]

or try resort

[frozen bone]

how do you know youve "made it"? like rn even if i spend all my money on full gear, i'll probably still die. what indicates that im ready to transition towards investing more in pmc runs?

[stone surge]

resort can be dangerous, but as scav you have little to lose

so becareful and it can be rewarding

[alpine trout]

I imagine you'd wanna go super budget til you actually start surviving runs

focus on learning the map

[steep kettle]

I assume that I should just stay around the edges of the mall and not go too far into the middle when I'm just starting out so I have a higher chance of survival

[wet spade]

When I spawn as scav, let's say I spawn in interchange. Do I have a chance to get custom key?

Or I'll only get interchange key

[stone surge]

scavs have random keys on them sometimes

if you need customs key

[alpine trout]

keycards too

[stone surge]

just buy the key off flea

and save urself a lot of time

[wet spade]

@stone surge How much $ do you have on you now 😮

[stone surge]

$ ruble or euro

:4

[wet spade]

rubles 😛

[stone surge]

about 45mil rubles, most of my value is in my items though

[wet spade]

Geez

What map do you always play on?

[stone surge]

Labs, Shoreline, Interchange

never really played reserve

I just don't like it somehow

[icy summit]

Hello Fellow Memers

Any help needed?

[plucky reef]

am i imagining it or is the zoom sens different?

[prisma sand]

I read that eyepro can help with vision when getting hit, is that true and if so does it matter which eyepro?

[plucky reef]

can i make the scope sens 1:1 with my aiming sens?

[icy summit]

hmmm... i don't think os.

[stark fable]

omg i swear

i finally get a crazy run in as a scav, extracted with 5 mins left on the clock, all my limbs blacked out, eyes shutting, with more loot than i have ever gotten in this game

Can you guess what happens next?

game fuckin crashes and all the loots gone

first time i have ever gotten my hands on tier 5 armor, and an altyn helm, and the game cruelly rips it away

[alpine trout]

[pseudo mural]

Yup it happens

like I said earlier, I killed Killa, had all his gear+btc+2 keycards+buncha other gear

game crashed on exit, loaded back in on scav next time and just had the same kit(kedr unsupressed/no armor)

it happens man, its a beta game

it doesn't just happen to you, it's happened to almost all of us

[stark fable]

new player experience

[pseudo mural]

Beta game with servers pushed to the absolute edge because of new players

🤷

[stark fable]

""this game is bullshit!!"
...
...
...
...
queues up again

[pseudo mural]

You kinda just deal with it and push on

[viral sonnet]

Lmao it’s addicting

[pseudo mural]

welcome to tarkov 😛

[plucky reef]

uhm why does my auction for reap-ir eyecup cost me 143889 when i set price for 126999

wtf

[dull silo]

when was tarkov last wiped and when is it next wiped?

[plucky reef]

march i heard

[pseudo mural]

last wipe was end of summer, next is rumored to be march i thgink?

[plucky reef]

is next wipe

[willow mountain]

about to do some raids anyone want to join?

[wet spade]

how many bullet does it take to kill a scav?

i just shot him like 3-4 time with 5.56x45

he didnt die 😮

[dull silo]

not really sure how this game even benefits from wipes

[plucky reef]

1 in ze head

[wet spade]

i accidentally ran into them ):

[alpine trout]

depends what armour/helmet they had

and the specific ammo

[plucky reef]

if they have armor and you hit chest it becomes a lottery

depending on bullets and armor

[wet spade]

at the end game screen

i only killed 1 player and 1 scav, i did 800dmg T_T

[willow mountain]

ammo brand has a huge factor in damage

[wet spade]

scav is 400hp as well?

[alpine trout]

some ammo will just never pen certain armours

[wet spade]

i was using this

[plucky reef]

total yes

[plucky reef]

they have lower damage on specific parts

35 head

60 everywhere else i think

lower HP i mean

[icy summit]

YOU ARE A LIAR!

[alpine trout]

why are we yelling

@wet spade get m856a1

[stone surge]

m855a1

[wet spade]

It feels damn bad when i'm running my full loadout

and i die to scav

[stone surge]

m856a1 sucy

[wet spade]

they cost ALOT tho

they cost like 500 per round

[alpine trout]

m855a1*

[stone surge]

yes but otherwise 5.56 just sucks

[plucky reef]

wish they would add an option to scan fleamarket for items so you dont have to identify everything manually...

[stone surge]

so go for AK or so

[wet spade]

ahhh

any specfic ak i should use?

[stone surge]

i mean, im not gona recommend bullets

that dont kill people

😛

AK-74N or AK-74M

[alpine trout]

I meeeean

[stone surge]

AK-74N is better imo

since it mods to lower recoil

but ak-74M is good too

[alpine trout]

bullets are more important than the gun

and you're happy spending 20k on a gun

[stone surge]

otherwise Vepr KM or AKM work too

[wet spade]

DAMN, why do they cost so much 😛

[alpine trout]

so why not spend 20k on some bullets

[stone surge]

@wet spade vepr km = 13k

[wet spade]

The bullet was gonna cost me like

160k or smth

or 90k maybe i forgot

[alpine trout]

Sounds like you're taking more than you need?

[wet spade]

i bring in 3 mag and i buy extra in my container

[stone surge]

3 mags total is fine ye

rest jsut put in safe container

[wet spade]

alright

[stone surge]

you can also mix up bullets in mags

[wet spade]

is a fully decked 74n

100k?

[stone surge]

just keep in mind that top bullets fire first

so the ones you put in last

[icy summit]

Yeah.

[plucky reef]

you can usually grab ammo if you kill somebody

[icy summit]

It's quite more then 100k

[wet spade]

alright..

[plucky reef]

i dont bother with more than 60 bullets or 2 mags

bolt action like 30 or something

[wet spade]

MAN i'm feeling a little pussy

i only hAve 800k

[plucky reef]

just run scav or something

thats what i do lol

[plucky burrow]

I am Heavy Weapons Guy... and this is my weapon. She weighs one hundred fifty kilograms and fires two hundred dollar, custom-tooled cartridges at ten thousand rounds per minute. It costs four hundred thousand dollars to fire this weapon...for twelve seconds

[alpine trout]

You don't need an expensive weapon

but you need good bullets

[languid flare]

'Only have 800k'

Iam still down between 200-300k

[wet spade]

so adar with the A bullet is fine as well ya?

[alpine trout]

adar is a great gun

[stone surge]

m855a1 yes

[wet spade]

alright imma try that instead

i love how the adar looks

10/10

[worldly rivet]

you might wanna try this

[alpine trout]

replace the handgrip for cheap recoil reduction too

[worldly rivet]

try this, just carry a backpack

mags in the gamma, of course

[languid flare]

What Gamma? 😄

[alpine trout]

wish I had a gamma

[worldly rivet]

okay

1 mag in the alpha

1 in the gun

[icy summit]

ADAR KING

[languid flare]

Not everyone is rich, dude

[pseudo mural]

I've tried to tell everyone

[worldly rivet]

1 in the rig

[pseudo mural]

veprKM+BP

=win

[worldly rivet]

yes.

i even use PS :^)

[wet spade]

what's +bp?

[worldly rivet]

and it still works

[wet spade]

oh ammo?

[worldly rivet]

BP bullets

[pseudo mural]

7,62BP rounds

[worldly rivet]

7.62x39 BP

you can also use PS

which is cheaper

[pseudo mural]

it will pen T4 helmet/face shield

[worldly rivet]

but not good against great armor

[icy summit]

7.62 BP, 5.45 BP, 9x39 BP if you are a real playa

[pseudo mural]

9x39bp is comical

[plucky burrow]

wait so Vepr is the only "assault rifle" that fires sniper rounds?

[stone surge]

No

[pseudo mural]

no, AKM/VeprKM 7.62

can fire 7.62x39

[stone surge]

and you mean vepr hunter

vepr km

or vepr 366

[pseudo mural]

vepr hunter can fire 7.62x51naton

nato*

SVDS/Mosin fire 7.62x54R

[stone surge]

vepr hunter shoots big ass bullets yea, but there's plenty that shoot it too

[worldly rivet]

vepr KM

[pseudo mural]

vepr KM vpo-136

[plucky burrow]

oof my bad

[pseudo mural]

is the gun you want

[worldly rivet]

hunter is also good too

[pseudo mural]

run a bastion with a PK06+b10+rvg grip

[worldly rivet]

yes

[wet spade]

m855a1 or m856a1 again?

[pseudo mural]

buttstock pad

[worldly rivet]

m855a1

[pseudo mural]

88 vert recoil, 48ish ergo

works great

[worldly rivet]

let me show u mine

[pseudo mural]

Learn to point fire at close distance

do not aim down the sights

[worldly rivet]

cheap version

[pseudo mural]

doing so will allow me time to kill you

run klesch2 with a laser

[alpine trout]

Can I get a Gamma Container without buying EOD

lol

[pseudo mural]

turn the laser on, light people up

ADS under 10-15m is death

[stone surge]

@alpine trout no but you can get epsilon which is about the same

through quests

and kappa is a bigger gamma

also through quests

[languid flare]

I mean

[daring aspen]

Fence will have it for sale sometimes

[languid flare]

Someone could drop their gamma

[alpine trout]

lots of quests?

[daring aspen]

3 mil or something

[stone surge]

ye kinda

[sullen storm]

Eod is about 75 on sale right? Anyone know when next sale is?

[daring aspen]

@alpine trout last quest for the kappa

[pseudo mural]

cant drop gammas anymore

iirc

[stone surge]

epsilon is OK doable though

just spam prapor quests

[sullen storm]

Will next sale not be till russian independence day?

[languid flare]

Oof

[stone surge]

idk when the next one is

[daring aspen]

no clue, sales aren;t too often for this game

[languid flare]

Epsilon needing PMC kills

[stone surge]

they just did 2 sales in a row within short time

black friday sale was huge

and now xmass sale

[languid flare]

🤣 Still have 0 PMC kills

[sullen storm]

True

Skipped it on black friday but got it on Impulse during christmas

[stone surge]

black friday sale was 30 or 35% off

was quite a lot

[worldly rivet]

i am a monster :^)

[alpine trout]

counts scavs :^)

[worldly rivet]

yes :^)

[icy summit]

jesus

[pseudo mural]

Running with other people

[icy summit]

you have answered my old question.

[pseudo mural]

will help you a lot

[worldly rivet]

ive noticed

i had one run with Lgringo

[pseudo mural]

it's positioning

and map knowledge

[worldly rivet]

it went perfect

[pseudo mural]

If you position yourself correctly

[mint hawk]

@languid flare nope.. Can't drop pouch

[pseudo mural]

and know where the shots are coming from, you get to take the first shot which helps a lot

there's rules to a gun fight and they apply here too

Rule #1 is bring all your friends, with all their guns.

[worldly rivet]

do you keep your kappa

for the wipe

or not

[icy summit]

no.

[pseudo mural]

nope it wipes all the things

[worldly rivet]

i can see how that would be a problem

it doesnt wipe the item cases that came with the gifts

and the p90 stuff

right?

[pseudo mural]

yes

like for me, I get the EOD kit+christmas gift

[worldly rivet]

same

[pseudo mural]

so I can immediately go in factory and get 1tapped by a dude with a makrov

🙂

[worldly rivet]

lol

[sullen storm]

Eod... 😰

[mint hawk]

Best is to sell the Christmas gift post wipe and go into raid with hp rounds.. No one has armors so its very fun

[sullen storm]

Especially if you're like me and suck with the svds lmfao

[pseudo mural]

ya

thats my plan

I'll be going in with a veprKM+PS

[sullen storm]

So the xmas gifts persist across wipes?

[pseudo mural]

and droppin' bodies

[mint hawk]

@sullen storm jup

[sullen storm]

Damn

Shoulda bought this game 3 christmases ago

I'd prolly also be good in that scenario

[mint hawk]

Sad thing no though is I won't have a keybar next wipe since this open overrides previous 😢

[sullen storm]

Oh its only one xmas gift at a time

[pseudo mural]

ya

keybars dont bother me, docs case is pretty easy to get

[sullen storm]

Do i need to play solo to git gud

[pseudo mural]

No you can totally play in a group

[mint hawk]

@sullen storm yes

[pseudo mural]

but

it is better to learn some alone man

[sullen storm]

Rn i cant play alone

Its too scary

[mint hawk]

All the decent players I know started off solo

Every death is a lesson

[hearty tide]

anyone want to help me with some quests? I'm on NAW, i'm fairly new but i've been putting in some hours

[pseudo mural]

same

[fluid path]

teammates can help separate fear vs danger

[pseudo mural]

I run solo 90% of the time

[fluid path]

if youre stuck not wanting to even launch into the game

[thin osprey]

then play your scav and offline raids to get some knowledge and conquer some of that fear

[pseudo mural]

it has helped me so much

[sullen storm]

What do you mean fear vs danger?

[fluid path]

like, im scared of spiders even tho they pose no danger to me

snakes are dangerous, but im not afraid of them

[thin osprey]

if you go into a group with that much fear, youre going to shoot your friends

[sullen storm]

Also yeah i dont play if none of my friends are online

[fluid path]

eg, youre scared of PMCs

but the danger if you use ears and dont sprint around, and can play FPS with a brain, your odds are good

but youre afraid to lose gear that doesnt matter

a lot of new players are

[pseudo mural]

ya I lose gear constantly

[sullen storm]

Oh i get gear fear, absolutely

But im more talking about like

[mint hawk]

@thin osprey that's why clear coms are important

[sullen storm]

General fear and being spooked easily

Only reason i dont shoot my friends, aside from comms

[fluid path]

youre convinced theres ppl in every bush behind every corner scoping every hilltop

[sullen storm]

Is that im always on their asses

[fluid path]

but the fear isnt real, altho there is some danger in the game. theyre out there, just not everywhere.

[mint hawk]

Killed a friend last night coz he wouldn't tell me if he was on the ground floor of resort with me.. Don't feel bad though.. Was his fault

[fading plume]

Anyone looking for good team and good new players message me

[pseudo mural]

yup

[fluid path]

or rather, the fear is a lot stronger than it should be

[pseudo mural]

Domed my bestfriend in the back of the head

[sullen storm]

So you mean

[pseudo mural]

cuz he didnt tell me he was on 3rd floor in dorms with me

he said he was on second

Not my fault

[sullen storm]

There arent actually people scoping me out across the map at all times?

[pseudo mural]

no man your just making a lot of noise

lol

[fluid path]

a lot of players are as oblivious as you

and youre stumbling on each other

i mean there are good players out there, and ambushes

[stone surge]

laughs in thermal shoreline scanning the moment i spawn :4

[fluid path]

but not as much as random encounters

[mint hawk]

Unless you are sprinting through bushes

[pseudo mural]

Ya, getting dropped immediately at spawn cuza thermals is stinky

[mint hawk]

With your uniform made out of velcro

[pseudo mural]

happened to me twice yesterday

both dudes were streamers, both using thermals

[fluid path]

do LFG until you get more comfortable, and its routine looking for players

and it doesnt startle you when you get contact with a PMC

or, if youre willing to do it yourself

make 3-5 gear loadouts

and accept youre gonna lose em, its fine

[pseudo mural]

however, I got pounced on by a thermal boy today within 30 seconds of spawn on woods

[fluid path]

take next loadout and go

[sullen storm]

Surprisingly i dont get too scared when i actually run into people

[pseudo mural]

and still managed to kill him

[sullen storm]

Its the absence of people that scares me more

[mint hawk]

@pseudo mural I use thermals on woods when it's early morning.. Fog OP

[pseudo mural]

cuz mosinman stronk

Fog is OP as shit man

I was doing the mosin quest

[fluid path]

wear electronic ears, keep sound up so you can hear, and just play your objective then

[pseudo mural]

and he started pelting me with rounds within 14 seconds of spawn

[fluid path]

focus on a specific task rather than worry

[pseudo mural]

so I ran tree to tree and dropped him, cuz he was using M62

[sullen storm]

So should i play w headphones on?

[pseudo mural]

on your head or in game?

[fluid path]

if you cant hear people before you see them, its a problem

[pseudo mural]

cuz...both

[sullen storm]

Irl

[pseudo mural]

yes!

[sullen storm]

Cant afford in game

[pseudo mural]

sound is directional

L/R

[stone surge]

sacrifice your helm if you do wear a helm

for headset

[pseudo mural]

no up/down yet

[stone surge]

= worth it

[wet spade]

do people camp the interchange PMC extraction often?

[mint hawk]

Money making has never been easier

[sullen storm]

Is it like siege where sound travels so people behind a wall sound like theyre coming from the sides

[stone surge]

@wet spade no

[mint hawk]

@wet spade yes since there are only 2

[stone surge]

extract camp is not common at all

it happend to summit 1 day ago, but honestly

i've seen it max 2-3 times or w/e

and i spam interchange a lot

and i dont even remember if it actually was 2 or 3 times

[pseudo mural]

its happened a good bit here lately

[wet spade]

I would love some tips in interchange ):

[pseudo mural]

i've gotten exfil camped 4-5 times in the past day or so

but, it is what it is

[sullen storm]

I got extract camped once, scary as fuck

Saw a guy at extract and thought he left, so i ran and proned

Instantly took 3 shotgun blasts to my back

[pseudo mural]

DONT DO THAT

[sullen storm]

Didnt kill me tho

[pseudo mural]

why would you do that?!

You saw a guy AT EXFIL

and then ran there and proned?!

[wet spade]

@stone surge what do you usually do when you go into game?

[sullen storm]

When he went to reload my timer ran

[wet spade]

look/kill?

[sullen storm]

I thought he extracted

[icy summit]

i got exfil camped... 2 in the last year

[pseudo mural]

dude no

[icy summit]

succesfully.

[pseudo mural]

Nyarl, 4-5 attempts, 1 successful

[icy summit]

NOT COUNTING FACTORY.

[pseudo mural]

always at railway too oddly

if your going from the right/wall

[icy summit]

gate 3 camping is a problem

if you don't have a nade

[pseudo mural]

people think they can camp that bush

so I just nade it before I go to exfil now

[fluid path]

the factory key is inexpensive, luckily

[pseudo mural]

😛

[fluid path]

opens up a lot of options

[icy summit]

yeah, but takes up a slot in your container

[fluid path]

presumably you'd have a keytool or something already

[icy summit]

still takes 1 slot.

[pseudo mural]

I run my keytool for factory with my factory key, why wouldn't you?

[fluid path]

keys make you money in this game

[wet spade]

do you guys usually do am or pm runs?

[fluid path]

could be loot like shoreline or reserve, marked key

[wet spade]

day/night*

[fluid path]

but think about it like saving you losses too - extract out a safe door

[languid flare]

If I could see anything at night 😆

[fluid path]

vs throwing it away against a healthy camper if youre fucked up

[icy summit]

yeah, that's why i keep some slots in my epsilon

So i can have some meds And some sure loot.

[pseudo mural]

I run factory key so I dont have to run a nade

[icy summit]

one way.

[pseudo mural]

but I also dont give a shit about factory

lol

[icy summit]

saddface

[pseudo mural]

same man

matching 18 minutes

[sullen storm]

So is it like

Smart, in trying to counter that fear i get

[pseudo mural]

I just killed Killa with a nade again

[sullen storm]

To just say fuck it, pull out my 500k loadout

[pseudo mural]

😄

[sullen storm]

And go all Rambo

[pseudo mural]

Why?

[icy summit]

get 1 tapped by an

[sullen storm]

I spook easy

[icy summit]

pistol

[pseudo mural]

ya

your 500k aint gonna do anything

except lose you money

[sullen storm]

A pistol can 1tap a helmet?

[pseudo mural]

does it have a faceshield?

[icy summit]

hell yeah

[sullen storm]

W a face shield

The clear one

[pseudo mural]

T3 Faceshield gets 1tapped by 57

[sullen storm]

Not the killa one

Oof

[pseudo mural]

which almost everyone runs as a pistol

[icy summit]

Shrimp / FN will still dab on ya

[fluid path]

i think if you rambo rush with some gear you havent really used and lose it

[pseudo mural]

ya

[fluid path]

that wont help

[icy summit]

plus, he can allways hit an ear, chin

throat.

[fluid path]

just cash it out and setup like 5 loadouts of budget gear

[pseudo mural]

I can very easily onetap you with a helmet on

sell it

and buy 5 veprKM

[fluid path]

and BP

[pseudo mural]

5 6b3tm

300 rounds of BP ammo

[sullen storm]

VeprKM is the single shot 10 round ak47 right

[pseudo mural]

and 5 penis helmets/gssh's

it can use any magazine for 7.62

so you can run 30 rounders

[sullen storm]

Ah

[fluid path]

vepr KM is the highly moddable 762 gun

[sullen storm]

Can you mod it good under 150k?

[pseudo mural]

yes

[fluid path]

oh yeah

[icy summit]

What you really want

[pseudo mural]

my base mod is 42k

for veprKM

[sullen storm]

:o

[icy summit]

is MP-153 with AP-20

[pseudo mural]

i just did the shoreline shotgun headshot quest

I never wanna have to run AP20 again

🙂

[acoustic moss]

So I'm level 3 and still havent managed to extract 😂 is this normal?

[fluid path]

AK-100 handguard
RVG grip
Dynacomp muzzle
GP-25 recoil pad
TT-01 sight base
PK-06

some 30 rounders

some 7.62x39 BP

[sullen storm]

Imma ss that rq

[pseudo mural]

yup

[sullen storm]

For the vepr akm?

[pseudo mural]

what gringo just said is the 42k

[fluid path]

yes

[icy summit]

For any AK.

[stone surge]

why dynacomp over lantac

[pseudo mural]

and it destroys

[stone surge]

lantac isnt even that much more expensive really.

[pseudo mural]

lantac is more expensive

[sullen storm]

Thanks

[pseudo mural]

14k vs 8k

[sullen storm]

Imma try that!

Beats spending 500k on a gun

[fluid path]

for noobs scraping rubles together i went cheapest

[sullen storm]

Like my one buddy made me do

[stone surge]

6k for quite a lot better muzzle

[sullen storm]

He got pissed

[pseudo mural]

its not gonna drop the recoil enough to make a difference

[sullen storm]

Cause i kept running sks

[icy summit]

you threw a TWS on that shit?

xD

[sullen storm]

Also i think that'd be good for me

I suck currently

W full auto

[pseudo mural]

VeprKM7.62=SKS on crack

[sullen storm]

But maybe its cause i only use stock guns

Lmfao

[icy summit]

Vepr TKM

[sullen storm]

Stock 74u and mosin

[fluid path]

there is a bit of a meta game with the mods

[sullen storm]

When not sks

[fluid path]

you cant ignore them

[sullen storm]

I can tell

All the gameplay i see their guns have cod recoil

Aka none

Usually m4s

Unless its something else heavily modded

[fluid path]

SKS could be a lot better, it has a stupid sight picture/model

and misses out on good mods

[pseudo mural]

^

SKS can be brutal

but, vepr is cheaper

[sullen storm]

Would mosin be a better naked gun choice

Than sks

[pseudo mural]

no

mosin is expensive

[sullen storm]

Granted i land shots

[icy summit]

~yes

[sullen storm]

Oof

[pseudo mural]

sks is cheap

[icy summit]

You can get mosin for 28k.

the inf

SKS is ~20ish

[pseudo mural]

cheapest mosin I see on traders is 34k

[sullen storm]

8k additional for more solid killing power sounds good

[icy summit]

but that's mosin

not mosin inf

[fluid path]

nobodys gonna cart your mosin out, so itll come back eventually but

[pseudo mural]

no

mosin inf

is 33k

[fluid path]

veprs usually come back too

even modded

[pseudo mural]

LL3

prapor

[sullen storm]

Even the 42k vepr?

Damn

[fluid path]

42k vepr is not what players want

they want your aks, your m4s, silencers, sights

[sullen storm]

They want that 300k 105 right

[languid flare]

Its what I'd want xD

[sullen storm]

Damn

I always put sights in my alpha

Lmfao

[fluid path]

and your good ammo

[worldly rivet]

same

[sullen storm]

Damn, now i just wanna go home and play lmao

Gotta get better

So i can justify buying eod

Ill prolly

Keep playing groups

Till i learn extract

I dont wanna do it offline, even if its most efficient

Since that's boring lmao

Then once i learn one maps extracts, thats solo scav runs

To solo pmc 42k vepr runs

Ive only been playing like uh

4 or so days so far

And its mostly been killa runs 😑

[tepid fossil]

so uh i got heaps of ammo what should i sell and keep?

[languid flare]

So much BP ammo that could be stacked

Wew

[pseudo mural]

go look at ballistics chart

[sullen storm]

Apparently P is a sell

[pseudo mural]

and stack the ammo first

yikes man

lol

[tepid fossil]

p is always a sell

and i can't see what to stack lol

[sullen storm]

I use p...

Lmfao

Im broke as fuck

Only got 4m

[pseudo mural]

4m?!

[sullen storm]

Yes

[pseudo mural]

you ahve more than me

[sullen storm]

Sold nvgs and thermals

[stone surge]

4m is ENOUGH

[timber condor]

Any sherpas around? I'm about to do my first ever game

[languid flare]

Only

Haha

[sullen storm]

From twitch

[pseudo mural]

4m is TONS

[languid flare]

I got 200k

[pseudo mural]

i'm lvl 30

and have 2.8mil

[languid flare]

Complains about broke with 4m

[stone surge]

4m = shit ton of 6b3tm + decent AK runs

[pseudo mural]

fucking new players getting insane twitch drops and whining about being broke

[languid flare]

🤣

[sullen storm]

Whats 6b3tm

Like t1 ammo?

[pseudo mural]

I got MATCHES from twitch homeboy

T4 armor

[sullen storm]

Oh

[languid flare]

I got nothing

[stone surge]

6b3tm is cheap but reliable Tier 4 armor

[sullen storm]

Oh

[pseudo mural]

we've told oyu what to buy

[sullen storm]

So T1 isnt highest

Mb

[pseudo mural]

4mil is more than a lot of people have in this game

[stone surge]

and 4m gives you the ability to run with good loadout

[tepid fossil]

So uh

what should i sell

[sullen storm]

Guess I'll buy a shit ton of 42k veprs

And t4 armor

[lyric storm]

Guys

[tepid fossil]

eee

[lyric storm]

There's people called raiders in labs and are they referring to players or ai

[sullen storm]

Ai

No player scav in lab

[stone surge]

https://i.imgur.com/gDE8Oiy.png Shoreline in a nutshell -_-

[lyric storm]

So how tough are they

[sullen storm]

Scarily tough

[languid flare]

Labs is 'Endgame'

[sullen storm]

Friends forced me to do a labs run

Scariest shit

[lyric storm]

I guess I'll save my labs keycard for another day

[stone surge]

you could do that

labkeycards stay stable in price anyway

[woven flower]

Honestly im ass at the game

[lyric storm]

Bruh I have no one to run labs with

[stone surge]

Why not solo?

[timber condor]

Is there anyone available to help me on my first run?

[lyric storm]

Unless if I want to hop onto different servers

[stone surge]

Solo labs is how you make money

[lyric storm]

I'm scared

[sullen storm]

5 of us got closed in on haha

[stone surge]

Duo+ is mostly for fun really

[lyric storm]

I'm gonna get yeeted by some cuck with a mp-7

[sullen storm]

It was cinematic af but scary

[stone surge]

it's not gonna be different in duos though

[lyric storm]

I need friends to play with lul

[stone surge]

one of u will die, the other prob doesnt know what to do at that point

[sullen storm]

Yo ive heard people who managed to like

[lyric storm]

I can't do shit by myself

[sullen storm]

Get 2 groups of 5 in a labs instance

[fallen crane]

i need more people on oc servers

[sullen storm]

That must be wack

[lyric storm]

I'm on sea servers

So I guess I can play oc

[sullen storm]

Id play on sea myself, or oce even

[fallen crane]

like sydney? or you more on hk

[lyric storm]

Singapore

[sullen storm]

But my game wont let me change servers

I turn off auto but it won't tick any othee

So im on us w 250 ping

[fallen crane]

you have to have less than 150ping

[sullen storm]

My sea and oce ping is low

[lyric storm]

Same

[fallen crane]

whoever hosts the group plays on their servers anyway

[worldly rivet]

i played on HK 212 ping

literally didnt notice a difference

it was just fine

[fallen crane]

i have sydney and both los angeles servers selected

until they add sydney 2 at least

[lyric storm]

I only have Singapore

I don't bother to go other servers

[sullen storm]

How longs wait time on sg servers

For like day customs

Sg is decently close to home and we dont have our own servers iirc

[lyric storm]

Sg is actually quite fast

2 mins

Most is 5

[sullen storm]

Not bad

On sg i should have sub 100 ping too

Will try that later

[lyric storm]

Eeeee play with me

[sullen storm]

When i get home

Im noob tho

Just dm me your ig and will hit you up later

[worldly rivet]

i can come along if you let me D:

i love customs and i also suck

[sullen storm]

More the merrier

[pseudo mural]

I'll go even though we'll prolly die

[sullen storm]

We can tank together

[pseudo mural]

need to get in a LFG tho

[lyric storm]

I need a player close to home

[fallen crane]

ill play some skyline

kinda close lol

[sullen storm]

Yeah living in sea

Oce is still pretty good ping

[lyric storm]

Whenever I play with someone I end up with 300 ping

Lul

[worldly rivet]

if you host the group

[fallen crane]

just host the group

[worldly rivet]

you get your own ping

i dont mind playing on 200

[sullen storm]

Same

[lyric storm]

Ebic

[worldly rivet]

im ready for 4+1 cheap raids

[sullen storm]

Ill dm you my ig skyline

[lyric storm]

Aight

[fallen crane]

LA and hong kong are like equal distances from where i live, but i get half the ping to LA

[worldly rivet]

pretty much same

[lyric storm]

I'll get my sexy vss

[worldly rivet]

i get 212 in hk

130 in LA

[fallen crane]

where abouts you from?

[sullen storm]

Gonna try out that 42k vepr

[worldly rivet]

Europe, Balkans

[icy summit]

oh no

South Slavs are here.

[worldly rivet]

like i am in the middle of the world map :^)

south slavs are everywhere

[icy summit]

oh god

[lyric storm]

Oof

[worldly rivet]

but I understand

people from here tend to be a bit

[lyric storm]

Bruh I'm getting fat loot

[worldly rivet]

short on brain power, so to say

[lyric storm]

Just sold a key for 260k

[worldly rivet]

damn

[icy summit]

TITOOOOOO

[upbeat flax]

I have a clip of me finding 2 factory keys in a row in jackets right beside eachother

[icy summit]

they used to be gud

they shit now.

pricewise

[worldly rivet]

like 140k now

or something

[steel radish]

ugh. PMC just sitting there on customs shooting the new players grabbing the watch :\

[mint hawk]

@steel radish happens when you run in without checking area

[lyric storm]

I got 2 factory keys

[pseudo mural]

yup alpha

[steel radish]

Killed his friend

[pseudo mural]

in the stairwell thing?

i've killed a few two man groups doing that again tonight

[steel radish]

He had a stack of bodies sitting there of others

[lyric storm]

Wow what a cunt

[upbeat flax]

Id do that

[sullen storm]

Wait so, aside from the 42k vepr

[mint hawk]

Well if the bodies weren't enough of a sign then there is no help for them

[upbeat flax]

Don't want people to play customs

[pseudo mural]

its tarkov man

[sullen storm]

That 6b3t something

Is good beginner armor?

[worldly rivet]

yes

[lyric storm]

Just buy paca

[sullen storm]

Nice

Saved

[pseudo mural]

dude seriously

[upbeat flax]

Paca aids

[pseudo mural]

watch the budget loadout videos

dont buy the adar and 995

but everything else follow the advice

[lyric storm]

Sir the Adar is like the second best gun I can use

Lul

[upbeat flax]

And ammo chart

[pseudo mural]

855a1 cost the same as 762BP, and 762BP is better in every way.

[lyric storm]

Bruh I have too much BT ammo

Like at least 5 mags with 5 more mags worth of rounds

[mint hawk]

@lyric storm no such thing

[lyric storm]

Hue

[pseudo mural]

I don't like BT as much as I did before this recent patch

[upbeat flax]

5 30 rounders?

[mint hawk]

And that is so little.. Wtf you talking about..

[pseudo mural]

I can't seem to drop people as easy

[lyric storm]

That's little?

What

[mint hawk]

300 rounds?

[pseudo mural]

I buy 300 rounds of 545 after almost every raid

can't kill peeps if ya dont shoot em

meh maybe every 2 raids?

I generally will empty all 4 mags I take with me in a raid

[mint hawk]

@pseudo mural was about to say.. I'd hate to see your accuracy

[pseudo mural]

It's decent

[fallen crane]

mp7 burns through ammo so fast it's not even funny

[pseudo mural]

It's just that I kill every scav I see

exp 😄

+i empty my mags at the end of the raid

for recoil control

same with throwing my nades

[worldly rivet]

ive seen people do that

and i thought they were just retarded

but now i get it

[pseudo mural]

I carry 4 mags+60 rounds in my alpha, so 220 rounds

or 2x60 mags+2x 30s

but we go into IC expecting to get into 2-3 firefights minimum

[mint hawk]

60 in gun and 2 extra mags

[pseudo mural]

and usually stay for 35-40 minutes

[mint hawk]

With loose ammo

[pseudo mural]

Ya, I take 2x 60+1 extra 30 usually+60 in my bag for customs

or 2x60+2x 30 for IC

I had to up that cuz

[lyric storm]

Mmmmm

[pseudo mural]

we've been getting into a LOT of firefights in IC

like, our last raid yesterday

[lyric storm]

I haven't got much action other than one tapping scavs

That's why I don't bring much ammo

[pseudo mural]

I killed 3 players, he killed 3, and we killed a few player scavs and killa

[mint hawk]

#LetKillaLive @pseudo mural

[lyric storm]

I bring like one mag and one in my rig

[pseudo mural]

heck no

[lyric storm]

That's it

[pseudo mural]

I'm at 12 kills now

started last night with 1

[lyric storm]

Usually it's enough lul

[pseudo mural]

I am getting that damn tracksuit

[fallen crane]

kill progress isn't shared is it?

[pseudo mural]

no

my duo isnt interested in the quest

so he just takes the armor/helmet

[fallen crane]

fair trade

[pseudo mural]

i get the kill/gun/7n39/nades/keycard/BTC

usually 4x 60rounders full, drum mag+gun, and either a BTC or keycard

and we kinda share the nades

[fallen crane]

yeah i mean theres so many

[pseudo mural]

i give him the F1s

cuz he has gooder aim

😛

but the only reason I can get to him and kill him is 100% cuza my duo partner

so I try to give him the best loot I can for coming along

[fallen crane]

holy shit does this game wanna stop giving me the shitbox .366 sniper

[pseudo mural]

hey dude that thing is actually...not as bad as you think

lol

it's super accurate

[fallen crane]

try killing killa with it on a scav

whenever i scav interchange killa always seems to be alive

[pseudo mural]

did it with a supressed 336 vepr

probably harder with the sniper

[fallen crane]

30rnd or 10?

[pseudo mural]

10

he can only take 5 rounds of EKO to the legs and survive

I think it was 4 or 5 rounds total that dropped him

[fallen crane]

getting an r700 with m61 is the best feeling ever

[pseudo mural]

but you aint gonna drop killa with that

drop a scav or player

facetap will oneshot most players unless FS T3+

we run that gun with EKO on woods pretty often, it's not that bad you can def drop scavs easily

we call it "eko" rounds

[fallen crane]

yeah not too bad on scavs because little/no armor but as soon as there's a player its fucked

[pseudo mural]

panama hat+vpo215+3 mags of eko

that's our "woods" get up

thats it, thats legit all we wear

[fallen crane]

didn't even know that hat existed lol

[pseudo mural]

yup!

boonie hat baby

T3 ragman i think?

[fallen crane]

i got some door kicker hats from twitch so i rocked them a bit

[pseudo mural]

but ya, that getup teaches you that you absolutely 100% have to facetap

it taught me really really really well how to shoot better

spend a day with the VPO-215 on woods killing scavs and the occasional player that isnt in a FastMT

and by the end of the day you will be a better shooter

[fallen crane]

one day

[pseudo mural]

legit one day doing that will change how you play

you 100% know you can't kill armor

[fallen crane]

you run irons?

[pseudo mural]

i run the VPO sight

dont know what its called

it's a really good sight

but I do run irons on scavs

[fallen crane]

magnified?

[pseudo mural]

ya, its the one that comes on itwhen you buy it

Pilad 4x32

with the 25mm UTG mount

I actually run that sight on a lot of guns lately

its awesome on a vepr

cheap too, 16k on a veprKM

[fallen crane]

got it

[blazing oar]

whats the best scope for the sv 98
also what ammo does it take
does it need a rail and all that does it need mags?

[pseudo mural]

your a bad person

and should feel bad

Nathan

[fallen crane]

not a great combo, cant tell if they have a fshield

[languid flare]

@blazing oar Mosin AMMO

[pseudo mural]

SV98+Pilad 4x32 is good

[languid flare]

So 54R

[pseudo mural]

with 7n1

really good combo

or run the valday

but I keep the valday for AKM/SVDS/M1A/M700/etc

I hate the SV98 though

the mosin is better for me

[tepid fossil]

i just found this option called preset and did my first "build" i might get it but can i get your guys's thoughts?

[blazing oar]

why? @pseudo mural

[pseudo mural]

You need to change the handguard

[blazing oar]

its my 2nd day playing the game

[pseudo mural]

to a B10m or whatever

and add a foregrip

[tepid fossil]

Gotcha

[pseudo mural]

add the buttstock to the stock

run the PK06

instead of the fastfire or whatever that is

[tepid fossil]

Oh the sight?

I kinda don't like pk06 but sure

[pseudo mural]

then run the OKP7 dovetail

[tepid fossil]

Gotcha

[pseudo mural]

I prefer the PK06 cuz of fast ADS

but OKP7 dovetail is a clear sight too

[tepid fossil]

Oh so sights have ads speed

hoho

[pseudo mural]

Nathan, the SV98 is expensive

but fires the same ammo as the mosin

with the same bolt time or near the same bolt time

for twice the cost

[fallen crane]

gamer time

[languid flare]

I mean, if he has one 😛

From like a Scav

[blazing oar]

i bought two of em

[languid flare]

Well...

[blazing oar]

cause its blue and looks dope as fuck

[pseudo mural]

Okay well good luck with that

[languid flare]

This game doesnt care about looks xD

[pseudo mural]

I have some dumb lookin guns

[tepid fossil]

Uh @pseudo mural can't really find the handguard

[pseudo mural]

this is a murder machine

Hanzsu, go to the gas tube

double click it

remove the handguard thats on it
