heady magnet
so I'm thinking about upgrading to EOD what all comes in it
ornate moss
it says it on the website
bold kernel
@heady magnet the 2 most important thing
is 66x10 stash size
which is more than double stash of standard
and a gamma container
which is 3x3
compared to standard's alpha 2x2
you also get some items but you'll lose them eventually
royal elbow
3x3 gamma container is the most game changing imo
being able to always bring in secure safe survival kits
trim herald
CMS is fine though dude
terse narwhal
get like a 2x2 item and have space for 2 gpus is massive
proper ginkgo
If you don't get eod youll have a shit load of grinding to get a decent secure container

You also get a season pass, so free DLC's for the first year when the game comes out

Does this mean player scav or PMC?
I put 7 rounds into him, he oneshot me in the head. sigh

Generally if there's 2 names it's a scav of some sort.
You can only tell if it was a player scav by their behavior.

Just dont understand how I could have 7 rounds into someone wearing a scav vest and no helmet and not kill them
can anybody explain that to me 🤔
royal wind
You did 359 damage.
inner glacier
genuinely not trying to come across salty even though i sound it
royal wind
Max hp is 435
Your damage was either spread out amongst his body or you went ham on one of his limbs.
Do 80 damage to the chest or 35 damage to the head and they die. Anywhere else you have to do the full 435 damage.

Hidden cache, they're all over the maps.

I peppered his chest from 10-15 m. meh 😦 @royal wind

It's likely you hit arms/stomach in that case.
inner glacier
just crazy you can full auto, hit 7 times with an AK on a scav with a scav vest and not kill them 😢
it was a shitty unmodded scav gun so meh
royal wind
Yeah, so the way it works is, each limb has a certain hp amount.
Once you 0 out the HP for that limb, the damage is redistributed throughout the rest of the body.
But if you 0 out the chest or head, they die instantly.
trim herald
You probably hit a lot of arms/legs/stomach
sand apex
Arms are best armor

Arms redistribute the damage to the rest of the body at 0.75x, stomach does it at 1.5x, and the legs do it at 1x.

Is it worth it upgrading to a lvl 4 helmet? They cost a lot more (the ones with good ricochet chance and earpeces)

I'd say not really, unless you're looking to do a faceshield and everything.
Some people will argue that helmets altogether are useless.
I'm not of that group, but I rock the ssh penis helmet 90% of the time.
tribal cove
Thats what I was thinking too bcs scavs dont aim for the head and pmcs have good ammo anyway
royal wind
I think the most benefit you'll get from a helmet is the ricochet chance.
tribal cove
I ve been running ssh too, but sa you said, penis helmet..
plucky reef
can i prone and plant document on factory?

I know you can crouch, I dont think I tried prone.
It may stand you back up to a crouch.

The only way it would be possible with an assault scope like the Bravo or Hamr that allows you to put a red dot on top.

What's the question about interchange @bold kernel

not really a question but were looking for someone to walk with us

Hideout and tasks are good goals to have, also maybe doing night raids, going to more danagerous maps like Reserve and Labs sometime. Those are goals to have in this game

I completed the one for parlor or whatnot, by bying the guns. I've been looking for countless hours to get the one for therapist. Those meds kits are very rare I suppose. @waxen forge

Focus up on where you know they can spawn, you can also buy them off the market.
Used ones go fairly cheap

Go to flea and examine all weapons and weapons parts
Right click on the weapon and "edit Preset"

yeah don't go near dorms imo
waxen forge
Tech and hardware items sell well
pliant elk
hey guys, what is the best combination of meds to carry around? Not looking at costs now
fathom barn
is there more than one tech store?
void solar
any good spots to hit in customs that isn't dorms?
plucky reef
customs have some sniper spots u might want to look out for
fathom barn
do they all have a chance to spawn graphics cards?
terse narwhal
@pliant elk cms kit in alpha, pain killers ai-2 or car somthing like that. youll have to get a feel of what you need
plucky reef
i use alu splint as well in alpha
plucky reef
i think it's morphine? its really good if you got money for it.
terse narwhal
top players use em
fathom barn
what are the techstores called? i'm in techlight on the second floor currently
terse narwhal
a second pop and then they sprinting bout with dead legs
pliant elk
alu splint is the red one?
plucky reef
yeah 5 uses
terse narwhal
techlight. texho below you. rammusen and another smaller store near centre mall entrance
pliant elk
best budget helmet level 4?
pliant elk
i know @plucky reef which helmet is 1 step above this one and is it worth it?
plucky reef
@pliant elk ugh not really sure but the price go up like triple
bold kernel
are 306 keys worth a lot?
cinder echo
where do i go to find ppl to play with??
waxen forge
Most I'd bother with is the 6b-47
Helmet are a money pit
#news-setup and #521628660298678283 @cinder echo
desert hull
^ this is a very opinionated piece of advice
waxen forge
So you can see all of Discord
desert hull
make an informed decision on what gear to bring
waxen forge
helmet can save you
desert hull
that may or may not include a helmet
waxen forge
However the times you will die wearing a good to very good helmet will far outweigh the number of times it saves you.
I don't spend $ on much above the 6B47 and do fine.
It's your eft though so if you want to drop 60K plus on a helmet go for it.
waxen forge
Hey @haughty storm
pliant elk
doesnt the 6b-47 have the same stats as the ssh 68? @waxen forge
chilly bane
whats the best ammo to use for ak 74m?

I believe
upper marlin
hey I'm looking to buy the game i am very interested in it looks really cool, only problem is it does not look like a game id want to play alone, so what i am wondering is it fun to play alone as a beginner and/or what are the ways of playing with other people
steep fractal
It's not really fun to play alone as a beginner imo
waxen forge
However it can be fun to play with friends.
Plenty of people here to join with if you buy
bold kernel
@upper marlin this server has an lfg channel that is very active
steep fractal
I sure don't have any fun
desert hull
@bold kernel all non-reflex sights give FPS drop due to their display
bold kernel
7.62x39 if that's what you are talking about
chilly bane
bp is best?
bold kernel
@desert hull Yeah that's what I thought. I heard it renders double.
desert hull
@chilly bane always refer to ammo chart
chilly bane
i thought S was better than P
old bolt
what do i have to do to get better armor. i always get one tapped and even if i have armor on its still not good enough
bold kernel
BP is the best cost effective though
spark marsh
If you are a beginner, I have a discord set up with some very experienced players specifically there to help new players if anyone needs
desert hull
he asked for best
bold kernel
I mean I doubt the guy has millions but ok sorry lol
desert hull
refer to ammo chart
@chilly bane BS pens up to class 5 with zero issues, pens class 6 80%+ of the time, always 2 shots thorax if it pens and 1 shots head
bold kernel
@old bolt If it's face shots, consider a visor. Get level 4 at least for armor.
waxen forge
!wiki ballistics
broken quailBOT
desert hull
7n39 pens everything with close to zero issues but has low enough damage that it might not 1 shot head and it might 3 shot thorax
@old bolt armor is not going to save you at your skill level
you need to focus on learning the maps and how to traverse them
as well as how the combat works
bold kernel
^
trim herald
BP is garbage and should only be used if you enjoy losing your kits
desert hull
let me clarify
armor will save you from scavs a lot
it will do nothing to a lot of players
trim herald
Unless it's 7.62x39 BP then it's good
desert hull
BP is fine @trim herald
bold kernel
Yeah that's what we are talking about
trim herald
It's fine if you enjoy dying and losing your kits
bold kernel
He said 7.62
desert hull
it's fine in general
trim herald
He said AK74-M
desert hull
the only time its not fine is if you run into specifically a class 5 armor player
chilly bane
I cant find BS in flea market
trim herald
That's 5.45
desert hull
class 4 and below it will kill
trim herald
Search for 5.45x39 BS
trim herald
5.45x39 BS
chilly bane
alright sweet
bold kernel
Lool I saw best ammo 7.62
plucky reef
bs is like 20k for 2, 30 mags tho
desert hull
BS is best 5.45 round, BP is best 7.62x39 round
bold kernel
Yeah that's why I said bp
void solar
any good spots for farming xp? i need to hit level 13 and get that medic box
desert hull
you will not always be able to afford these
void solar
im so out of space
trim herald
Do quests
waxen forge
Tasks
bold kernel
Yeah 75k for 120 rounds bp
void solar
ok
desert hull
@void solar sell 80% of whats in your ttash
waxen forge
Best way to get XP
desert hull
I gaurantee you you do not need what you have
steep fractal
Oh great my game bugged out
void solar
its alot of weapons
bold kernel
Good @steep fractal
chilly bane
no ammo on the market lol
trim herald
And if you can't afford 5.45 BS then use a different caliber
chilly bane
rip
desert hull
yes, sell all of them except for the next 3 you want to use in raid
on the flea market
there is no point to hoarding weapons or weapon parts
if you are willing to use flea
@trim herald ngl pretty shitty advice
BP is fine for 5.45 early on
trim herald
Early on in the wipe, sure
desert hull
the idea is to not attempt to facefuck geared players
trim herald
But we're not early on in the wipe
desert hull
it doesn't matter
we effectively are in early wipe
because of the new player surge
trim herald
We effectively are not
desert hull
either way even end wipe it wouldnt matter
trim herald
Yeah, and they aren't playing in a vacuum
desert hull
the idea is to not attempt to facefuck geared players
trim herald
They're playing amongst lvl5+ geared players
desert hull
and avoid geared pvp
old bolt
@desert hull wym how the combat works? i know most of the maps pretty well
desert hull
@old bolt Manuevering and tactics
trim herald
Otherwise why even bother recommending BP? Why not just suggest fucking PS?
chilly bane
anyone wanna sell me 30 bs rounds?
desert hull
scavs should never kill you even if you're ass naked with a makarov
@trim herald because even scavs will shrug off PS sometimes
bold kernel
How combat works in terms of tactics, maneuvering, preparation, and area
trim herald
You will die to having shitty ammo if you don't bring BS with a 5.45. That's a guarantee
desert hull
whereas BP kills almost all scavs and if I had to guess 80% of players
upper marlin
@bold kernel i am down for lfg but i am considered "younger" per say and i dont want to seem like a nuisance
old bolt
i thought the same thing but i get killed by them way to often
mostly from ones i cant see
desert hull
@old bolt its because you don't know the game yet
old bolt
through bushes
trim herald
If you're happy dying for no other reason than that you were cheap and didn't buy good ammo, then by all means bring BP
old bolt
ive had the game for 3 years but played off and on
desert hull
nobody is suggesting BP for geared runs
desert hull
then you have a filter on that you shouldnt
bold kernel
@upper marlin Considered younger? I don't care if you're young, nor do most players. Just don't be annoying in vc, play it safe and you're fine.
old bolt
okay what should i do
desert hull
Don't ever try to tell us that we're wrong about something like that
old bolt
like focus on rn

Quick question...what is "ergonomics" please? What does this mean in a practical way in game?
bold kernel
People scam it hard
desert hull
@acoustic moss A lot of things
bold kernel
@acoustic moss handling
waxen forge
But have to filter down to the more expensive ones and make sure you inspect to see if it's full
bold kernel
Ads speed etc
desert hull
handling is the gist, but is non-specific
bold kernel
Yep
void solar
im just trying to make some med kits is all
desert hull
it does like 6-8 things
acoustic moss
Righto thanks a lot
steep fractal
Now my game won't open
chilly bane
ah thanks
bold kernel
Sad
desert hull
what?
plucky reef
lol wtf is that
plucky reef
prob empty box xD
chilly bane
its the same ammo?
proper ginkgo
Why do people use the mp7 so much, the highest tier ammo barely even effects tier 6 armor
desert hull
probably
jsut inspect it
@proper ginkgo tier 6 armor doesn't exist
nobody runs fort or zhuk
MP7 is a highly effective PDW
proper ginkgo
wdu mean it doesnt exist lol
trim herald
That's bullshit bud
proper ginkgo
and why dont they?
trim herald
That's again absolute garbage
desert hull
Zhuk is more common but is still mega rare
trim herald
Holy fuck dude
Fort cost nothing anymore
It's cheaper than some lvl 5's
It was in twitch drops
desert hull
im out of date then
trim herald
Yes
desert hull
cause I haven't played in like 2 weeks
trim herald
It's garbage because it makes you super slow
proper ginkgo
is the ammo cheap?
desert hull
because its still a highly effective weapon
waxen forge
Because it's fun
old bolt
so the higher the armor lvl the better? or lower the better
proper ginkgo
why use it over other guns with better ammo
trim herald
Because the fire rate makes you shred lvl 5
waxen forge
And with high enough RPM it will kill
proper ginkgo
is the ammo cheap?
trim herald
And it's the best SMG
desert hull
just because it can't penetrate class 6 doesn't mean much
trim herald
Ammo is super expensive
proper ginkgo
So then why use less effective ammo when there is more effective ammo on comparable guns
trim herald
And it's fine against lvl 6 dude
waxen forge
Although pen may not be as high as other weapons it throws a lot of ammo down range so it can do the job. But it's also fun.
desert hull
because it has lower recoil and higher RPMs
trim herald
3-5 rounds before you pen lvl 6
desert hull
and the gun itself is cheaper than M4s
inner glacier
Anyone have any good presets for the Vepr KM/ VPO - 136 ?
trim herald
That's nothing with the MP7
proper ginkgo
Im more so just wondering why use the meh ammo when there is OP ammo
inner glacier
would rly appreciate it
spark marsh
You can also leg the hell outta people
trim herald
But the ammo isn't meh?
desert hull
because the ammo isnt meh
trim herald
Don't ever leg with an mp7
You'll kill faster with chest
Regardless of ammo
err
armour
desert hull
!ballistics
trim herald
!ammo
tribal robinBOT
proper ginkgo
compared to other ammo for the same price it is
spark marsh
Oh for sure. But sometimes its more satisfying to watch someone struggle to get away 
desert hull
@proper ginkgo it aint
trim herald
47 pen is really strong dude
desert hull
proper ginkgo
yes but there is even stronger ammo for the same cost
desert hull
who cares
proper ginkgo
i guess not for smgs though
bold kernel
how do i enable twitch drops?\
trim herald
Imagine having a 950 RPM mosin with no recoil
proper ginkgo
ok was just wondering
desert hull
the weapon platform isnt the same as other guns
waxen forge
Twitch drops ended like a week ago
trim herald
That's the MP7
desert hull
AP SX is the most effective SMG bullet in the game
old bolt
what should i do with a hand drill, car battery, and GPU? currently a lvl 11
proper ginkgo
On another note, what's the average wait time for a sherpa? Ballpark?
terse narwhal
did another short interchange scav raid. 13 mins. Heres the loot guessing 300-400k idk gun prices
trim herald
An MP7 probably has lower TTK against lvl 6 than an AK does actually
waxen forge
We are trying to get to people quickly
desert hull
@terse narwhal future reference don't pickup the tank helmet or the police helmet
waxen forge
If you put in your discord name with number it makes it easier
trim herald
Your estimation is WAY high there @terse narwhal
proper ginkgo
I did
trim herald
I think it's more like 200k tops
desert hull
they aren't good and they don't sell for anything
terse narwhal
fr?
proper ginkgo
All good though just making sure i didnt get missed somehow lol
trim herald
Maybe 100k for the guns, the rest isn't worth much
desert hull
they took up a lot of room other stuff could have been
the guns including mags are around 150-200k
if you part out and sell on flea
if you sell ammo on flea it'll be a bit more
pilgrim is around 30k
last I checked
blue tape is 15k last I checked
trim herald
10k for blue
desert hull
always can change
trim herald
You're being silly dude
desert hull
decent haul but yeah those helmets took up too much room unless you felt like you really needed to leave asap
terse narwhal
for a short time with no pvp the money as scav is good though right? only went in oli and found dead guys
trim herald
It's not awful for sure
desert hull
depends on how long you were in there
terse narwhal
13 mins
trim herald
It's free money
trim herald
I'd still recommend Shoreline and hitting Caches if you have a scav with a backpack
terse narwhal
ill do that with a mate next then see the money made n stuff
interchange caches treat me well so id expect the same there
terse narwhal
is there a quest where you need to wear un gear with a m4? like i wouldnt wear that gear myself
torn citrus
I'm new to the game and looking for a group
terse narwhal
@torn citrus rules, setup, looking for group. do these to get access
trim herald
@terse narwhal Yeah, kill 12 scavs on Shoreline/Customs/Woods/Interchange with UNTAR armour/hat and use an M4
It's cancer
Not as bad as this one though
terse narwhal
feel bad for these guys then they died to scavs
trim herald
proper ginkgo
Should I be sprinting a lot? I'm just watching a video and shroud said you shouldn't really be sprinting unless you absolutely have to. It allowed him to hear someone he shouldn't have, he said.
trim herald
Eh, yes and no
If you have a goal in mind, by all means sprint until you hear someone
trim herald
I tend to sprint around a lot, gets me places faster
bold kernel
should I wait until I unlock flea market to sell stuff?
trim herald
If you're just looking for a fight, probably not unless you're in a place with no cover
@bold kernel If it's barter goods yes, if it's guns no
bold kernel
Pilgrim is 30k rubles yeah
feral tangle
why no for guns?
bold kernel
what about mods?
trim herald
@proper ginkgo Shroud also started playing the game together with Klean who seems to never sprint ever so he probably picked it up from there
waxen forge
Because you need to sell to traders and buy from them to level them up
trim herald
Just sell to traders I'd say
proper ginkgo
To be clear rommel youre saying you probably shouldnt sprint too much unless youre in a place with no cover or in the open
trim herald
You want them levelled up
waxen forge
Also basic weapons sell fine to traders and are not worth selling on flea
proper ginkgo
ahhh interesting
trim herald
Or if you have a purpose for sprinting
waxen forge
Optics and suppressors maybe to flea but I never sell basic weapon to flea
trim herald
Like some of the best PvPers sprint A LOT
waxen forge
Waste of time
trim herald
Just don't sprint around corners without knowing anyone could be there you know 😄
Shoulder peek them first or something
bold kernel
Yeah unless it is above 60k on flea just sell to traders
bold kernel
Pvpers sprint a lot because they understand the maps meta and are constantly taking in information
Don't buy a scope unless you have a crazy rig
feral tangle
which trader should i sell guns to? i know taking them apart earns more cash
trim herald
Skier, then Mechanic
feral tangle
whiich for which parts?

anyone wanna roam together and explain me the how the game works

does your scav timer go down when game is closed or does game have to be open

timber dock
I see you're a man of culture as well.
desert hull
@proper ginkgo sprinting makes something like 3x as much noise as the fastest walk speed
so no, do not sprint willy nilly
but there are different playstyles and sprinting is more useful in some than others
deep hearth
im new to the game and server, if anyone would like to do some scav runs or something to help me with this insane learning curve pls dm me

do i need to buy a more expensive version or is standard fine?

you can upgrade at any time for the difference

I've read through and checked things on both :C

If you're at that level you may as well upgrade @fathom barn

i'm far enough in the game at this time that the only thing that would benefit me is the gamma, but like, you know

Uncheck and recheck the tickbox

It'll give you the season pass though, that alone is worth the difference in price I'm pretty sure

yeah thats what i keep telling myself too lol

Should I be selling the Dog Tags I find?

tfw i started with EOD cause i wanted the gamma container xd

@trim herald As if the "season pass" is worth getting atm
when the game is years from release
trim herald
So?

Used Ctrl + R and rechecked and that seemed to work. Thanks!

Dog tags are needed for a task, can be kept as trophies...or can sell to therapist

I bought it two years ago for the season pass

ooo shrouds streamer item is gonna be a balaclava or a mask he said

Also can be traded for stuff but I don't do trades so not sure what at this point are the current trades
Shroud is straight addicted to eft

i just bought the game but dont see where to download it

MBSS backpack is one tag trade and cowboy hats are another
proper ginkgo
who isnt
waxen forge
He counts his mixer $ and plays eft every day
trim herald
The trades are all pretty pointless until lvl 40
desert hull
there are more than that but those are the ones I remember
MBSS is worth more than tags from like lvl 1-9 I believe
trim herald
Pennies
desert hull
so its worth doing
trim herald
Rather level up therapist
