how much
should i sell
and
i keep dying so what should i bring in and which map?
warm terrace
just sell it to mechanic imo
waxen forge
Break weapons down. Sell to skier and rest to mechanic.
waxen forge
Maybe suppressor or higher end optic in flea but otherwise not worth the time
waxen forge
Make more $ more consistently selling tech/hardware on flea.
But always compare to trader price.
Traders are useful and new people need to spend with traders to level them

I use flea only for high$ stuff
Cause leveling traders takes long enough as it does

@bold kernel at best the T3 helmet from Ragman and a T4 armor, anything else for the start is too much $

should i buy one?

If you want. It may save you. More likely it won't.

and what kind of weapon should i choose
Any weapon. Vepr KM is good
i am bad at control recoil

Single fire 7.62

Try the KM then. Semi so not too bad recoil

fierce tangle
is the vepr km the same as the hunter?
bold kernel
Somewhat but no not really
waxen forge
You are likely to die due to lack of experience. Not knowing where to go and what areas are most dangerous.

Propane is 40-50k on Flea
bold kernel
When you have more money you can run the m1a
trim herald
@fierce tangle No, different calibers
waxen forge
I'd recommend you try to run customs offline. See if you can make it from spawn to exfil 50% of the time fighting scavs.

I just got this game last weekend and only played a little bit. I've mostly done scav runs and a few PMC pistol only runs on customs.
I'm too afraid to use any "real" guns when I play PMC cause I don't want to lose anything. π«
Is there anything I should be doing differently or just keep doing this until I learn the maps?
languid flare
If ya wanna do something with Pistol ammo (like MPs), then do the leg meta or just death by lead poisoning
manic moss
@dire epoch if you ever wanna tag along with me ill could show you some of the maps i got some knowledge on that atleast
waxen forge
Play offline pmc to practice fighting scavs.
manic moss
ah yes ive heard of that
waxen forge
If you can get to the point where you can make it from spawn to exfil 50% of the time then start pmc online runs.
You will die and lose gear in the beginning. This is a steep learning curve.
Gear comes and goes.

Ya, I usually do a scav run til I die or exfil(with minimal gains) then watch videos until my next one is up lol
manic moss
some need cash or other certain items
fierce tangle
when the extract is red does that mean its closed. i.e. crossroads on customs?
waxen forge
If it is guaranteed exit and timer does not show just stay in the area.
If it is a guarantee exfil then it is always open. Red just means been used
fierce tangle
ah ok

I do not check question mark exfil unless they are on the way to guaranteed exfil.

even when just using an optic instead of a red dot

Vss more accurate
bold kernel
is it bad if u extract too early?
dire epoch
Oh, how long does it take to level up? I think I got to 2 or 3 in my few games played.
frail forum
no canted sights, no nothing. Simply magnified optics obviously have lower sens than 1x and i'm thinking about solutions to have it higher only on optics
trim herald
Yeah but it makes sense to be slower for a high magnification optic right? So by using the HAMR you get the same 1x sens as you always do, and you get a lower sens when you're zoomed
dire epoch
Also, how do you get cases for stuff? Just happen upon them or buy them from traders/market?
frail forum
well yeah it makes sense but i'd like to control by how much it's decreased haha. Wouldnt what you're suggesting with the hamr work with canted sights too?

There are more possible spawns for PMC's than there are PMC's
rocky ocean
there is no use for weapon safe key? o.O

Additionally, if PMC's are grouped they'll all spawn in the same spawn location. So there can be times where no other spawn locations on your half of the map are utilized, or all players spawned on your half of the map

I understand your experience James but I also guarantee that an experienced player could spawn where you spawned naked and not die within 1 minute 80-90% of the time

By moving somewhere that doesn't expose you to another spawn
If you know where the other spawns are you can avoid putting yourself in their LOS

There's plenty of hills you can use to break LOS to anyone spawning there

I believe it is per minute or per 5 minutes. Something like that.
waxen forge
When outside of a raid you will passively gain health, hydration, and energy. You can use Medical items to heal and Provisions to consume as if you were in a raid. To start you gain 8 HP/Min, 1 Energy/Min, and 1 Hydration/Min. Your passive gaining of stats can be increased through upgrading Hideout modules such as the Medstation to increase health regeneration, Heating to increase energy regeneration, and Water Collector to increase Hydration recovery.

One mistake I can notice is I didn't stop much to listen but that's because it' such a sniping map i didnt want to get sniped by not moving. When running that route do you ever stop running and stop to listen?

Reset expectations. I don't care how good you do at Siege, Battlefield, COD, CS.....(insert shooter here), This is a knowledge game. Need to learn maps, need to learn scav behavior, PMC behavior, Spawns, paths, what good ammo is, what good loot is. Tactics.
You will get destroyed in the beginning but with ability to adapt and persistence you can overcome it.
It has all the answers to "what is this thing for" what ammo is good
Where can I find a map
etc
bold kernel
so what do i do if im a scav?
waxen forge
Find loot...explore the map
If you can get loot and extract you can keep everything on your scav

sucks to bleed out in a pistolr run because a scav shot you in the chest after dying and him having a survival kit π¦

Then can use it or sell it

You can shoot scavs too if you want their gear tho they will become hostile

are PMC other players?>

Yes
bold kernel
who the hell am i supposed to shoot idk who anyone is haha
waxen forge
If you are a scav you don't have to shoot anyone.
technically
You can just loot if that is the goal of the raid
bold kernel
thats easy enough haha
waxen forge
If you want to shoot then you can shoot anyone really but if you shoot a scav the other scavs will agro

Case in point, my new G433 have worse sound quality than my old Siberia 350

@rocky ocean there are differences in headsets, can be big ones.
rocky ocean
its only about sound and preference not like that you can hear wider
trim herald
That's again wrong
bold kernel
g430 are pretty good. my old ones had more bass and loudness than my new headset
rocky ocean
yea range
ornate moss
well its not gonna make you hear further than the game allows but it can make you hear stuff you wouldnt hear (as good) on another headset.
rocky ocean
you can get clearer sound
trim herald
Clarity can definitely be different
stray basin
I have the HyperX Cloud Revolver S headset and even the different between having Dolby Surround on and off makes a huge different in Tarkov
*difference
trim herald
And how good the directional sound is for example
ornate moss
^
rocky ocean
^
ornate moss
that's preference
dull cave
its not
stray basin
The surround on the Cloud is definitely better. I get way better directional hearing
ornate moss
it is most people say surround is bad, because they cant tell the difference
dull cave
virtual sound is stoopid
rocky ocean
have you guys tried out surround sound in eft?
forest steppe
most ppl say its bad cause its worse than stereo
dull cave
surround doesn't work in tarkov
ornate moss
Tell me why it's bad @forest steppe
rocky ocean
i havent tried it out because im mostly playing with my in ears
dull cave
virtual 5.1 and 7.1 in tarkov fucks sound
stray basin
7.1 doesnβt fuck sound. At least with my headset. Clear improvement
forest steppe
artificial, game is not designed for it, messes with imaging and sound stage
ornate moss
i have no problems with mine and can differentiate good where the sound is coming from
and there is also real surround headsets
forest steppe
good testing method here
real surround headsets where they stuff 5 or 7 tiny speakers into each can are extra bad
ornate moss
no it just makes its sound quality bit worse
forest steppe
look to each their own, im not gonna be convinced, doesnt seem like you will either and thats fine.
its your preference
makes sound way worse (the "real" surround headsets)
stray basin
Iβm telling you from personal experience the 7.1 surround on the Revolver S headset works and works very well. You can toggle it off and on very easily to test and itβs a noticeable improvement
ornate moss
fact is that its preference and theres pros and cons on both
forest steppe
that is anecdotal and counter to my experience
ornate moss
but they are definitely not "bad"

is the mp5 viable?
ornate moss
@forest steppe thats called personal preference π
rocky ocean
because of 9mm ammo
forest steppe
ornate moss
Goki everything is viable as long as you hit your shots properly
primal turret
anywho, Thanks Alabama~ o7
ornate moss
np
forest steppe
the majority opinion (not that that makes it right or wrong) is that stereo is the best for pc gaming, serious fps, esports focused, gaming
trim herald
@rocky ocean No it's not
@ornate moss No they're not
Shitty ammo makes guns unviable
ornate moss
why would that be?
mighty jasper
Can someone explain to me the advantages of using a flashlight?
trim herald
Now you can still use them, but you'll be at a big disadvantage
rocky ocean
only reason to go with mp5 seems like to be rip ammo and shoot for legs or arms because of 102 flesh damage
mighty jasper
In PvP, that is
trim herald
Somewhat blinds people but also lets you see guys hiding in corners
waxen forge
^ that's about it
forest steppe
see in the dark
mighty jasper
So... not very recommended
ornate moss
if you use it all the time it gives you only disadvantage clase
waxen forge
Also if you leave it on a lot and like to get shot it's like a big neon sign saying shoot here
trim herald
Eh, it's not bad, but it's personal preference
Some people use them a lot, I personally don't
ornate moss
so rommel can you explain, why is that?
trim herald
Why is what? Bad ammo makes guns unviable?
ornate moss
yes
trim herald
Because you'll have way higher TTK than someone using good ammo
ornate moss
but its not making the gun unviable since, you can still kill people fast if you hit your shots properly?
forest steppe
have to shoot skinny chicken legs
rocky ocean
should you look for ammo with higher armor pen or even flesh dmg + armor pen?
trim herald
And if they're wearing gen4 with sleeves, and stand behind half cover you literally cannot kill them
While with good ammo, if they can shoot at you, you can kill them
Higher pen always
Over 40 if it all possible
forest steppe
there are charts and stuff to help
rocky ocean
i only buy the higher armor pen ammo and sell everything else so far
trim herald
Couple of exceptions I guess, like BS is better than Igolnik because Igolnik drops under 40dmg
ornate moss
yes you cant kill people with good helmets / body armor on the head/thorax, but you can still shoot stomach, neck, arms, legs and you can still die pretty fast to that
trim herald
And a few of the long rifle rounds
rocky ocean
i know the balistics page but im just asking for recommendations
trim herald
You'll die WAY slower than if you could hit head or chest
And again, if they're behind a half way, and there's a lot of cover like that in the game, you then cannot kill them if they're wearing sleeves
And gen4 assault isn't uncommon
ornate moss
you can shoot their neck
trim herald
Neck isn't a hitbox
It'll be thorax or jaws
And thorax is body armour, jaws is visor
By all means use shitty ammo, but it's a definite disadvantage and I'd never recommend doing it
ornate moss
pretty sure someone mentioned you can shoot neck/nape before (if they have a helmet)
open flower
how cheap are night vision headsets vs night vision scopes
trim herald
Nape is also covered by helmet
turbid verge
anyone wanna team up i need help
trim herald
The only way to avoid the visor is if you're underneath them and shoot straight up
But neck is not a hitbox at all
ornate moss
then it should be one
trim herald
Why?
trim herald
Again, why?
ornate moss
^
trim herald
There's literally no reason for them to be
vagrant mirage
what maps are good for some loot runs?
trim herald
Yeah? And if you hit someone in the neck it counts as either jaws, or thorax
ornate moss
on scav i prefer Factory
trim herald
It's not like the shot isn't counted
open flower
whats cheapest for night vision??
ornate moss
Yes but if you hit the neck it should count as neck and not as jaw or thorax thats what i mean
trim herald
Having an additional hitbox for neck would serve no purpose
But there's no reason for it
ornate moss
yea then you could shoot the neck ;P
