that m4 looks like something i discard
Image before that Fatheals
no wonder you're a nitro booster >: *(
that's okay
ew, why the pso on that low recoil m4
#308
what does upgrading security in my hideout do?
Everyone who uses veprs is a veritas roleplayer
pso?
@urban root allows you to upgrade more things
I've never seen 1 veritas video
it doesnt have a pso
kk ty
some dude on this server told me that Vepr is good
I tried it
liked it
and now i use it :^)
the ps320
it's not a hamr
why would i use a hamr
Valdays the best scope for every scenario
when im just playing with what i like
Because it's hamr time
;((
pk-06 + valday are my goto
how can i mod my Vepr further
have u tried sa 25?
it's just not the same
or M1A?
hm
Whats a good budget gun build
u can put 4 lasers and reapir
That isnt a AKM
use VSS
I like ADARs
VSS with OKP
wha
thats it
Would anyone like to complete a customs task?
they're pretty much the same thing
I'm looking to do some PMC hunting on Factory as a PMC, any suggestions for tactics?
bring factory key
yep
I got a zarya and an RGD-5 in my pockets, and a spare pair in my container
What is the benefit of using headphones? Does it amplify the sound around you?
It amplifies the sounds you want to hear and muffles the ones you don't
okay cool thanks thanks
its called a kedr
is there a chat here for lfg?
does this look enough sp6 rounds to kill a fucking dude with no armor
dont mind the mouse pointer idk why its there
?
sp6 2taps chest
i put like 5 rounds into him and hes not dead
Welcome to Tarkov @acoustic timber where your ability to hit is determined too much by your ping
you didnt trade with him?
it's possible to trade, even in cqb
this an arm shot
it still should of died
he's also aiming down sight, so his arms cover part of his chest
but i have to say
kinda strange he didnt die
sp6 does a lot of flesh damage
im positive i hit his throax more than 2 times
yup
not worth trade
Could anyone help me distinguish whats actually good in my inventory and what i should sell if i stream?
xDD
but
@acoustic timber u died because u crouched and became stationary
should've kept moving during cqb
@feral stream go to traders most times good things sell to traders for 5k+ so you know in flea market there can be a lot more, although carefull sometimes traders buy for like 300 roubies quest items that sell good in flea
and dont run factory without faceshield
yeah i realizied that now
ya lots of scavs cqb and pistolings
lol
maybe the pistol had good ammo
pistols dont have good ammo
instead of becoming a statue
Have they mentioned any plans for improving the death screen and giving you more details as to how you died?
why not, isnt RIP ammo good?
No Lol
not rlly
oh
still leg meta
@hidden meteor and what do you do if they're behind structures/boxes :4
wdym ?
well
u rush them and prefire
let's take shoreline as example or interchange
half of the engagements are with boxes
and stuff in front of you
like shoreline halls
nade
Lol
that guy is just bad
i dont think you understand what i mean
@worldly rivet make sure its not 5.56
any sherpas able to help myself and tazfire?? we are struggling right now lol
blue is gonna die
it has to be 5.45
if he has pistol
i mean it's in nearly every map
you dont always see legs
unless you're in the open
which interchange and resort aren't most of the time
or labs
idk i find people saying legmeta kinda dumb, I litterly never died to legs against a pmc not that I remember atleast
I would really love them trying to kill me through my legs
when i just shoot at their head/thorax
I don't think it's an actual thing
or non sherpas? im pretty lost
what do you need help with?
BS
that's cost efficient
if you can afford it
what's the best after the BS
everything tbh xD i just tried a run with two sherpas but we all died
and i lost pretty much everything i have at this point
im most lost with where to extract
because ppl know where you shoot from
and everyone uses them
m855a1 is not tracer
is it not?
m856a1 is
that's why no1 uses it
damn it
@worldly rivet 5.45mm BS rounds? The next step up would be 7N39 "Igolnik" bullets
even if it wasn't tracer
@solar cove ignolnik is worse than BS
so bs is about as max you would need
Igolnik punches through more armor, but does less damage
the less damage makes it worse
it needs more shots to head & thorax
to kill someone
rendering the penetration useless
It's only 3 points of damage less for 17 more penetration points
It'll take 2 either way
Hello everyone! if I want to join a group how can I tell the server they are playing on? you obviously don't want to play in a far away server with really high ping if possible
nope BS can oneshot it
I see everyone says lfg but never state the region
Even with the damage reduction for just wearing armor?
Ah, alright then, that'd explain why BS is more expensive than Igolnik
is there a reserve map with pmc spawns?
as it helps with penn'ing tier 6
but almost no1 plays with tier 6
as it handicaps more than it helps you
killa just ignores the handicap
i'm gonna set for BT sadly
cuz I can't afford BS consisntently
and my gun isnt good
You'll absolutely want it if someone IS rocking class 6 armor
so why put BS ammo in it
@worldly rivet then BT will suffice
also tracer isnt a huge problem CQB
it's mostly a problem in a prolonged fight
on mid-long range
Highest armor rating i've seen was 4 max 5 regardless
And my PS ammo rocked that in like 2 hits
to the head
@worldly rivet 6B43 6A is class 6 armor
Technically it should be class 6A
Ignolnik will be better vs zhuks
but once again, even zhuks are quite rare and ignolnik could only really be viable in labs for this reason
as some sweaty's wear it, but from my own experience
most people I face with zhuk's wear 50/50 , 55/55 zhuks
and BS doesnt have problems going through that
how much does durability play a role in whether a bullet penetrates?
the 6b3t-m or whatever
a lot
- the green ragman helmet
@spiral turtle the lower the durability, the easier bullets go through
But listen to this
and a 50/50 gen4 is the same as a 50/68 gen4
if a bullet penetrates, does it remove durability?
so wearing a 50/50 gen4 is like playing with broekn armor
yes
it removes durability regardless whether it penns or not
@spiral turtle A bullet merely striking your armor takes off durability, whether it pens or not
@spiral turtle https://i.imgur.com/ZBVc2eq.png
this is 5.45 BS vs Zhuk (tier 6 armor)
on the left you can see the durability of the armor
on the right the chance it has to penetrate
so at 50% durability (40/40 zhuk)
@worldly rivet get a ptlock and a better stock
BS has about 90% getting through
compared to 13% at 75/75
so it's pretty significant
which stock
linked search is your friend
or you could add a buttpad to that stock for budget
So would BNTI Gzhel-K armor be superior in protection to FORT Redut-M when both are max durability?
so how does this look
and also, what's the cheapest helmet i can get with a faceshield that's good
how much does it cost if you sell it to mechanic?
57.8k
is this ak-74m or ak-74n?
N
oh whut
@stone surge ah that is quite significant
@spiral turtle thats also why walking around with repaired armor that is like 50% of the original durability
a deathtrap
as it looks like it's fine since it's repaired.
but it functions like broken armor
That's weird
I would've figured that it would still protect, but now your armor's fucked even faster
not really, you could see it as if you patch something up IRL, like glass or patch up your pants when it's ripped
it'll be fine since it's fixed
but it wont be the same
zhukov-s for ak@worldly rivet
@worldly rivet thats a solid budget build, does the tt01 still go for like 100k?
the PT-1
Imo you either go polymer stock + budpad gp-25
tt01 is like
or zhukov-S
7k
no inbetween
is it better to try to play in a group to learn the game, or to play solo?
solo first
or duo maybe if you have anxiety and it can be fun to explore with a friend
but going with 4+ people it will be chaotic af
yeah my anxiety got me killed in about ten seconds lol
and u wont learn as much before dying
what is a broken LCD, a working LCD, and GPU used for? im currently a level 11. what should i do with them?
SELL EM
LCD's can be sold to therapist
or flea maybe if it profits more but i doubt it
and Graphics card sell to flea
GPU is used for bitcoin miner in hideout
how do you find others to play with?
is there any better alternative to this
it'll passively generate money (bitcoins)
remove helm
@rocky remnant #521628660298678283 #news-setup then #pvp-lfg
that's about it
because you wanted cheaper
so should i keep the GPU or just sell it
ah
sell
oh another question, the vc channels for lfg, are those groups formed FROM lfg?
the next upgrade is gonna be either a TC-2001 helm
or ACHHC
or a tactec tier 5 armor
but it's quite a leap in terms of money
does TC have a faceshield?
No
I figured
LZSH has
what about a car battery??
hm
Lzsh isn't great sadly
it's pretty decent
lzsh is tier 3, ive penetrated that thing many times
It's fine ish
i run either LZSH or Airframe
What
i dont go w/o facemask anymore fuck that.
That's weird 
Why not zshm?
should i sell the car battery? and any tips on gettign armor? i always get one tapped
because i dont wanna deaf?

Not the correct result? Use !wiki page lzsh for a direct link or !wiki search lzsh for a list of all hits.
Ah I guess
@rich cloak https://www.twitch.tv/theavalanche/clip/MistyInnocentGoblinArgieB8?filter=clips&range=all&sort=time
thats where my LZSH tanked a 7.62 BP bullet
๐
Sorry if this is a dumb question but what is LFG?
Looking for group
looking for group
oh, thanks
jesus christ
Is the NA server having a fit or is my internet failing me repeatedly
What's a cheap gun which you don't mind losing which is full auto/burst and allows you to mod sight on it?
i run it more than my LZSH, but lzsh i still wear in budget runs
otherwise i run no helmet
You should be able to get a 100% durability helm off flea for about 100k
what are air filters for gas masks used for?
Vintorez likes them
You can trade 2 for a vss at prapor lvl 2 or 3
ahhh shit
I prefer rifles so ak74n it is. Any recommendations for cheap mods?
budget?
@stone surge what the armor class on the airframe again?
Ah
but since chops protect ears and are behind facemask
the bullet has to go through tier 3 2 times
which sometimes helps holding the bullet
ready to die in .5 seconds
@worldly rivet map?
ppl say facemask is useless vs geared players, but that's not true
idk how it really works since facemask is tier 3
but it helps vs good bullets aswell
soemtimes
LF1M Factory #7 Night Raid
when prapor asks for teh shotguns does that mean i have to sell them to him or?
@bold kernel in the task menu you can turn in
okayy thank you
@worldly rivet i like at least a balaclava to cover face
any idea how to improve this gun? I am looking for a good budget weapon
get a polymer stock
perhaps a magpul RVG instead of RK-1
it's cheaper so you can focus more on upgrading other parts of the gun
to stay within budget
@next vessel gun is fine as is for a budget gun. More mods don't really make sense imo
I would say go Magpul RVG instead of RK-1, Polymer stock & Lantac muzzlebreak instead of dynacomp
and it'll be better for about the same price
I went for "mod gun each time I survive with it"
:D
Treat your gun like your girls
@stone surge can you use chops with sordins?
I generally get my airframes from labs as litterly everyone wears that
that's one benefit of the airframe over the fast mt, mt's ear protection blocks sordins
@stone surge damn
that's a hell of a run
Is the knotten beany needed for anything
should I keep it then?
i have aRB-Bk key. any good?
!Wiki rb-bk
https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/RB-BK_key
Not the correct result? Use !wiki page rb-bk for a direct link or !wiki search rb-bk for a list of all hits.
sells for about 90k
Yeah it's really nice
what drops in the room??
Good weapons moneycase ammo case weaponscase
reserve is kinda dumb with all of the circumstances with extraction
If you have the red rebel pickaxe it's fine
how do i get that?
buy off flea
Buy it or kill shturman and get lucky
How do i react in setup channel with my language and server?
@stone surge do you play reserve?
best ammo for Vepr VPO?
or well, barely any
7.62 BP
BP aint a option for Vepr VPO
AKM is basically just an automatic vepr KM
AKM VPO
oh vpo
Is what i meant
dont use it
Oh
it's the worst gun in the game
Veyx
Vepr KM and vepr hunter are good
Vepr AKM sucks
Vepr KM best beginner gun
which, ur new modded gun?
Which one?
what weapon would you recommend me. Vepr 136 or AK 74M [im planning to use high end ammo]
@next vessel both good, just depends whether you want automatic or semi
so the higher the armor level the better? or the lower the better
AK-74M will be more expensive and shoots ammo out fast
vepr KM is more preserved and cheaper.
but semi automatic
okay
Anyone want to help me? I'm pretty new to the game. Been on maybe four runs so far. Only one with assistance but it didn't last long
ill take a look at it @worldly rivet
at what ๐
on what
im at 6:56
ur gun
this is my new gun
wait
This gun is so clean
it's unbelievable
also I started using Sordins
where do you get attachments?
ah not level 5 yet
ye thats a good gun, you can even get the recoil lower, but it'll cost you more with handguard and RK-1
ok
but 53 recoil is super clean already
@worldly rivet how much for that setup?
do enemies see ur laser?
@worldly rivet did you loot that gun
I just lost that gun in customs ๐ค
no
its my gun
@atomic knoll the AK is pretty expensive
its not super budget I guess
for new players
ye it's not
the Vepr is super cheap on the other hand
but it's as close to a "laser" AK as you can get
it's semi, but works just fine
what keys should I buy first for labs?
so like with the whole bs bt ps ammo whats actually the best?
besides that one
got it
you just need to get a feel for where it shoots in hipfire.
Can I use the same mods for vepr? I'm clueless bout modding that's why
all AK's share similar mods
That will be great
Great thanks
@worldly rivet PP-19 pistolgrip and polymer stock
cost nothing for free recoil/ergo
:4
I run that on mine
but I sold them all
also I somehow managed to throw away all my mags...
while reloading
And i tried my best not to press R twice
@stone surge what ammo should u run w it
pp-19
if you're looking for cheap ammo
Is ps good enough though?
762 PS is good enough
^
545 is baaad
5.45 ps is trash
Ok thanks
also god bless sordins
I see what you mean
when you say
gssh blasts your ears
sordins are BASS HEAVEN
is there like a medical bag
that i can fit
in my gamma
?
what do you mean?
How do i react in setup channel with my language and server?
but that only helps you
with space
if i didnt have sicc, I could fit in my alu splint too
:4
they're all the same
ye but i dont need 2hours of painkiller effect on me
during 1 raid
they're all the same though
ibuprofen just dehydrates you quicker
so i only take it with me on raids that dont last too long
:^)
(labs)
how does the game work
Is group que timer seperate from solo?
you make a shitty build
^
shit tales longer
rinse and repeat
@worldly rivet thats pretty much a good gamma
@worldly rivet very well described
Well, if you havent reached the min for next trader level, i think you havent spent enough :P
Ah
Yes
Well, you also got enough money ๐คฃ
you have to spend?? or does selling count too
it counts
selling counts
Usung money either way
betttt
Lvl 9, 800k
:4
I had more money
I just wasted it
on gearsets
also, it comes from me resetting my account
I used to be level 14
is anyone else having problems finding games with a group? me and my buddy always get stuck in matching
@worldly rivet heal your fractures
Left arm fracture
@worldly rivet where did you live?
if I change servers to a dead lobby will there be less people?
I'm READY
im eu aswell and idk what im doing up
@bold kernel yes less but never empty.
DOH
game doesnt start empty
ok
im in a 11 minute que. anybody else having long que times?
re-queue
launcher ^
darn
@stone surge @worldly rivet why the fuck are you guys awake at such a ungodly time?
i dont know
Bro im at work 
teh fk
Never had issues with customs
@rich cloak we are all having so much fun looting and playing tarkov
shrugs

true enough
if you arent on the brink of suicide everytime you play tarkov your playing wrong
Fun fact: only PMC runs I survived: one accidental night one, and all VEPR runs.
All hail the VRPR KM
That was quick
Wew
@snow hedge yes
Lol wow
I thought if you were a SCAV - other scavs wont shoot you first. I just had one light me up despite JUST spawning and not shoothing him. Kill screen confirmed a NPC Scav
@sly warren npc scav and playerscav have the same names
Ohh really! okay
Okay that makes sense, they didnt feel like NPC
hi there
looking at putting a scope on my mp5
which would you reommend?
i jsut wnat to do pmc runs of the car parks interchange
I duo'd with a guy last night. Literally invited me to his game, the game starts, he shoots me right in the face. Game over. hahaha
rip
@idle lodge pk-06
@worldly rivet wanna duo up?
I'd like to get in.
16k ๐ฎ
Mp5 is kinda expensive for how "bad" it is though
come Duo Victor
aight
Noted. Lol
i just purchased the scope @stone surge but i cant put it on
how do i work out what i need to change to let me use it
@fallen crane im up for interchange if you want. only 1 game prob though
@idle lodge ehm
sure
go trio golf @stone surge
give me a sec and i'll heck what u need @idle lodge
I'll play
@idle lodge you need a MFI HK Universal
ty sir
Anyone wanna team up?
bigtuck go to #news-setup to open the lfg chat
@harsh swift don't use Ingame lfg
Psst, can anyone help me with my ammo situation? I'm using a MP-153 Shotgun, but it says I have 0/4 in the gun, but I have 7mm Buckshot.
is the ammo 20 gauge? mp shottys need 12 gauge
Inspect the gun.
Don't have it equipped.
Pull out the mag.
Load ammo
put mag back in.
Oh, I see now, thank you
Where can i find people to play? Seems that i did the setup instruccions but i cant see the channel
Redo the set up instructions. Sometimes it takes a few tries.
Ok, omw

can someone dm me the command to pull up the performance stats in game
i saw summit had ping and fps and other things on top right
must be an in game command?
fps 1
and fps 0 to close it?
correct
I'm sorry, but am I not allowed to see this channel history? in case I need to search something that already been discussed
#521628660298678283 get a role
thank you
also #news-setup to open the lfg chat @hardy meteor
Why no one read
Is lab keycard 1 time use
yup
What lvl should i start trying to do labs
I've sold like 4 or 5 keycards before
worth to insure SICC case?
i mean only if the player that loots you dies and no one else takes it...but why not i guess?
Yes
if i alt f4 my game
it does sound low chance to get it back though...
cause it lives in secure container
Boyster is the pp-19 any good
i secure everything in container because its just easier to hit the insure all button
insure
and you only have to insure once
so its more of a less annoying thing i guess
to have to deselect it everytime
how much should i sell the labs arsenal key for? i know its good but theres none up for reference
is there a list of keys that are for extracts specifically
its not the list but you can find all the extracts here
and what they need
maybe there is a list somewhere
ty
no customs extract keys?
Factory exit key
that works on customs?
Ok so I just survived my first raid as a scav, and I got a hard drive, should I sell it or keep it for any reason?
dont see mil checkpoint key as used for an extract
I think you'll need it for a task, but they are so common i'd sell it
gotcha
Moxi until you get a lucky scavbox to store all the items i also suggest selling everything
Canas1an that was to someone else
sell
@severe sapphire keep the flash drive
Sell everything
Im hearing so many different things
sell it
sell sell sell
is it bad that im hatchet running labs?
