so i am wondering if this is a bug or not... when i sell a lot of things on the flea market i almost always have to close out of the game to reset the amount of available items i can sell at a time
sometimes just collecting the payment is enough sometimes i collect payment and it doesnt update and i have to restart

how do u get em

@magic solar Epsilon is a quest reward from this: https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/The_Punisher_-_Part_6
4x2
silver hornet
The Beta container, which you can do a barter trade from Peacekeeper level 4 (around 2.1m in total) (3x2)
The Epsilon container, which can be done by doing Punisher Part 6, as Bacon said. (4x2)
The Gamma container, which can be acquired by buying the "Edge of Darkness" version of the game
or the Kappa container, which is do every quest in the game except for 4
magic solar
is gamma biggest?
silver hornet
nope
Gamma is 3x3, Kappa is 4x3
Epsilon is the best container if you have the cheaper versions of the game

7.62 PS is really good bang for the buck

I've never actually used the akm

i would think the akm would do more damage per bullet compared to the ak 74?
since its 7.62

It does

There is a spread sheat by a guy named "no food after midnight" where he compares all bullet types

is there some cheap high level armor? There was something given in drops and when you buy a certain game edition wasnt there?

What class armor are you looking for?
The cheapest class 4 is 50k I think, and it's an armored rig
molten ermine
i used armored rigs

I was just gonna run 4 but they all repair poorly, so 5+. I was under the impression some high level armor dropped in value a bit because of twitch drops/influx of new players

@molten ermine from my experiance I would tell you to go for an 7.62 rifle over an 5.45 bcs most people run lvl 3 and 4 armour which you can one shot with cheap PS 7.62 bullets while you would need expensive 5.45 bullets to do the same

thank you,

@sly warren for Interchange, just walk along the corners
sly warren
Yes I've located the exits, but whats the names? I cant just exit any one right?
Like what ones are Railway or Power?
wet remnant
@silver hornet i mean like a player scav vs a, idk what the other team is called, i thought they were pmc's. The one with your own character
silver hornet
Emercom checkpoint is behind Oli and to the right (go out the back of Oli and towards the right)
Railway is in front of Idea and to the left, meaning to the left of Idea entrance
Power Station is back and to the left of Idea (go out from the back of Idea and to the left), but you need money for that.
proper ginkgo
@sly warren
silver hornet
@wet remnant Player scavs move like PMCs do.
wet remnant
Explain what a PMC is exactly lmao
bold kernel
@molten ermine also any 5.45 bullets that have B-something in their name can go for a nice amount of money. I think you can sell 30 5.45 BS ammo for around 20k on the flea market
wet remnant
I dont think i understand
sly warren
Okay thanks, the third map, I have the exact same one but the labels are gone, thanks
silver hornet
A PMC is a player, whether they be BEAR or USEC
wet remnant
okay thats what i thought
molten ermine
oof big thanks on that. i usually just sale to prapor
silver hornet
Player scavs are players with random loadouts, and they look like Scavs.
wet remnant
All PMC's are actual players right
wet remnant
ho okay
silver hornet
Scavs (and by extension, player scavs) don't have dogtags
wet remnant
is that something I should take

Np like I said good 5.45 bullets are expensive while cheap 7.62 PS do the job like them but have a bit more recoil.

you don't have to, but people normally do

@amber saffron actually noting much anymore...high risk and not high reward (imo)

is the red keycard/keycards in general all 1 use like the terralabs one?

545 ps is piss ammo

keep in mind that when talking about BP or PS
steep oracle
if he had tier 5 or 6 it might have been harder
stone surge
that caliber means something
because multiple calibers have PS or BP
and not all BP are good
steep oracle
.762 ammo is more damaging and penetrating than .556
stone surge
VSS with sp-6 is really good yes

You can go full auto on VSS?

VSS/Val + SP-6 ammo is a combo that doesn't require modding

VSS with SP 6 is hell but VSS with those other two rounds is like damn

not to waste too much ammo
stone surge
for a flat out deadly gun
amber saffron
yeah
bold kernel
@steep oracle yeah i wasnt sure because they switched to 5.45 over here apparently its more damaging because it gets stuck in people instead of going through and has more penetration though idk about the whole thing
bold kernel
i always hear people having conflicting views on which is better ammo
worldly sorrel
Where do you receive the new years present?
amber saffron
your profile on the site
worldly sorrel
oh ok thanks
stone surge
@bold kernel thats weird, because there's generally 1 best ammo for each caliber
steep oracle
personally I prefer the 762, because to get ammo that will be good vs armor is much cheaper than the 556
bold kernel
oh im talking about real life
steep oracle
of course
stone surge
so people argue going more budget is also good
and other argue budget ammo isnt good
like m995 is best hands down
but m855a1 is OK too for budget
bold kernel
i am a simple man if bullet is bigger its probably stronger
stone surge
but you could say m855a1 isnt good in labs due to the gear ppl wear
others say it's fine
steep oracle
Sometimes you want to do a mix of ammo, maybe do the top rounds with high pen and the bottom rounds with higher flesh dmg
stone surge
m855a1 imo is fine for all maps but labs
steep oracle
then if you don't kill them outright with your expensive rounds in the initial burst you have a good chance of shredding them with the cheaper ammo after
amber saffron
but i generally dont run the 556 guns
stone surge
for labs I would atleast mix it up
and do bottom 20 m855a1
rest m995
bottom bullets you almost never shoot away anyways
and it just helps with money if you die
bold kernel
i have only recently got the flea market unlocked i use whatever i am able to pick up lol
uncut socket
anyone else long queue times scavving factory?
amber saffron
i mostly use vss, vepr km, vepr hunter, mosin
stone surge
only NA has long queue times iirc
amber saffron
@uncut socket yeah factory has fairly long queue times
amber saffron
aight hoppin into a raid now
crisp holly
So if if insure a weapon, and die, I only get it back if it doesn’t get looted? That right?
stone surge
i get insta matches
uncut socket
ive been requeueing for like 20 mins
steep oracle
vepr hunter is a great budget gun bc you can one tap fully geared guys with it sometimes
amber saffron
see yall
uncut socket
cya
steep oracle
yes @crisp holly
stone surge
@crisp holly correct
so if you have a buddy
and he throws ur gear in a bush
you get it back most likely
steep oracle
get your friend to drop your shit where it wont be found and u get it back in a couple days
bold kernel
its expensive though, or at least its expensive to me i only just started out heh
stone surge
whats expensive?
steep oracle
if your shit isnt looted just 10% of the time it pays for itself
stone surge
if you get back 1 item, it's already worth insuring
steep oracle
definitely worth insuring everything
stone surge
which happens 99% of the time
steep oracle
even your mid tier guns
if its not worth insuring to me, its not worth taking in raid
bold kernel
ensuring armour is expensive though and its already ruined if you die anyway
stone surge
correct, that's the mindset kinda
snow kite
if you insure your mid gear it will probably come back since high gear guys dont even pick it up for the obvious reason...if you go in a raid with 1 mil on you you dont go for 15k armor
steep oracle
you can repair armor
bold kernel
wait wat
crisp holly
Was curious...guess gear fear is real😂
steep oracle
and sometimes you get headshot or leg metad
bold kernel
how
stone surge
if you think insuring costs are too high, then the gear you bring is too expensive for you to go in raid with
steep oracle
so your armor can be completely fine
steep oracle
literally just right click it and click repair
then pay some ruples
and it is better
bold kernel
wait waht
steep oracle
although it loses maximum durability
dire stirrup
You need 50 graphics card for bitcoin farm.
bold kernel
just in my stash?
steep oracle
yep
bold kernel
wow thanks never knew
steep oracle
glad to help
worldly sorrel
what go in into a MCase
steep oracle
just be aware if you do it a lot your max durability will get so low that you might not want to use the armour anymore
bold kernel
money
steep oracle
@worldly sorrel money
bold kernel
yeah thats fine its better than selling it
stoic dome
Wow I just did a Scav run and looted a M700 and a Pligram Backpack of of a Player
bold kernel
how much does it go down? 10% each time?
steep oracle
depends who you use to repair it
prapor takes off more max durability but is cheaper
stone surge
Also keep in mind, if you bring a not too expensive weapon. most players higher lvl than you dont take it with them
because it's not worth it
steep oracle
mechanic takes off less but is more expensive
dire stirrup
@bold kernel Depends who you fix with, and how much damage you take during raid
steep oracle
skier is in the middle
bold kernel
oh ok
stoic dome
shot him with a Mosin he didn't have a helmet on though
steep oracle
mosin kills through helmet most the time xD
bold kernel
ill prob go with prapor he called me sugar one time
stone surge
in general just repair with prapor, unless ur armor/weapon isn't too damaged
then mechanic or skier is fine
steep oracle
yeah the repair bill can get pretty expensive otherwise
stone surge
let's say you have a 30/40 armor
bold kernel
wait weapons get damaged?
snow kite
and take a look what armor type you have
steep oracle
I just repaired this armored rig it was 40k through prapor wouldve been 200k from mechanic!
snow kite
some armors are not really worth the repair
stone surge
weapons should be repaired when around 80 durability, that's where accuracy goes down heavily
but it takes a long time to get 80 dura
unless it's full automatic
bold kernel
is that if it gets shot or from shooting it?
stone surge
shooting with it
steep oracle
tbh i dont shoot enough to use my weapon durability up that much
stone surge
so m4's typically get down in durability quicker
steep oracle
i normally tap fire on semi auto mode
stone surge
than a mosin or w/e
bold kernel
neither i doubt ill ever live long enough to see that happened
stone surge
which makes sense
bold kernel
i died in most conflicts i get into mostly because its hard to learn the maps and ive been trying to get better with factory and its a small map
steep oracle
I started the game 10 days ago and I was in the exact same position
today I did a quick run on factory and got 3 PMC kills and a load of scav kills filled an attack backpack with guns and gear and got out
just takes some time to learn the game
the more you play the faster you will learn
uncut socket
tried to use an ai scav as a body shield for killa thinking killa would shoot him
steep oracle
killa turns them against you XD
uncut socket
needless to say i died
bold kernel
dude i checked my stats ive apparently never killed a pmc. do scav kills not count for states because i swear ive killed them as a scav
uncut socket
they dont
bold kernel
and do player scavs count as player kills?
steep oracle
your stats are just your PMC stats
bold kernel
oh ok
i dont feel as terrible about myself now
because i swear ive killed pmcs but never as one myself
steady pilot
Well you should
steep oracle
player scavs only count towards your scav kill stat not your pmc kill stat
bold kernel
im too poor
steady pilot
bold kernel
is there anything worth of value inside interchange buildings lol? ive just been looting hiden stashes and yeeting out
steady pilot
Lots
steep oracle
Yes the interchange is the best map to loot for profit I think
idle lodge
how do i work out what items i need to buy to a let me put on a red dot etc
dire stirrup
Yes. Inside is a good place to loot
steady pilot
Mainly tech stores and hardware spawns
idle lodge
someone said dust guarD?
snow kite
inter is the best map for loot without keys
steep oracle
in terms of the sheer volume of high value loot
worldly sorrel
Should I be insuring my stuff as a low level?
dire stirrup
@idle lodge If you have hideout, workbench level 1, allows you to edit preset which gives you option to know which mod goes on it, or experience.
Yes, always insure.
snow kite
always...big boys dont take your stuff and if mostly will get your stuff back
idle lodge
ok ty sir
bold kernel
what is the best cheap armour i can buy? ive never bought any
steep oracle
how cheap do you want it?
dire stirrup
@idle lodge At the mean time, you can ask here if you need modding help.
bold kernel
ok so heres what my plan is
snow kite
i would say lvl 3 6b23
dire stirrup
6B2 armor (flora) - for beginners.
steep oracle
if you want the cheapest armor in the game snag a paca, it won't help against much but will stop you being oneshot killed by shit weapons like pistols
steady pilot
Reserve is also a great loot map without keys. You just have to learn how to survive it
bold kernel
sks with a site and ps ammo, penis helmet and thats it
i dont need vest since sks
i can put bullet in pocket
steep oracle
u can probably afford a 6b13
snow kite
@steady pilot you cant imagine how much i hate that map lol
bold kernel
@scenic inlet
uncut socket
i looted reserve nuke silo or whatever under that dome then walked out and got two tapped by some bush wookie
bold kernel
how much do they go for?
worldly sorrel
I have a marked key but I'm too scared to go and loot the marked rooms, what should I do? (same thing with lab keys)
tranquil heath
This may be a dumb question but how do you guys familiarize yourselves with the maps?? Just offline?
steady pilot
Why use crappy sks when you can use better verpkm
dire stirrup
@worldly sorrel , Just go for it. Sell it or use it
spark marsh
You can sell the keys if u arent comfortable. I would jeep them tho
dire stirrup
@tranquil heath Offline and playing experience.
bold kernel
because im poor and only just got the flea market unlocked @steady pilot
spark marsh
Offline is best way to be safe
steep oracle
depends what durability you buy it at, if you want a crap armor for the cheapest price you can get one for like 20k
idle lodge
@dire stirrup i just built my workbeach
steady pilot
Verpkm is 9-14k on market
snow kite
@worldly sorrel put it in the container and just go for it...you will die a few times but practice makes perfect
tranquil heath
What map should I focus?
merry hawk
@tranquil heath that is how i do it. . offline till i know all extracts then play scavs to get the feel of the game and do offlines between scav runs
dire stirrup
@idle lodge Right click a weapon and hit "Edit preset"
worldly sorrel
OH YEAH, forgot about containers xD
steep oracle
customs or interchange are good to learn as begineers
spark marsh
Foucs on an objective. If you want money vs if you want to kill pmcs
steep oracle
factory is a very small pvp map which can be brutal but good for learning fighting
bold kernel
also this vest is like over a third of my balance @steep oracle
spark marsh
Dont go into a raid without a goal in mind.
merry hawk
@tranquil heath i started on customs. . not great loot and lots of choke points, but seems to be pretty easy to learn and get around.
snow kite
@bold kernel what ever you do DONT buy Gen 4 Assault armor for whatever it costs with 7.5 durability (yes i saw some guys do that)
steep oracle
if a 6b13 is too much just grab a cheap paca vest
bold kernel
@steady pilot but then you got mags and vests to worry about
spark marsh
Customs is good because of the starter tasks. But it is minkus up at dorns
steep oracle
it wont protect from big rifle rounds but will make you not die to shotguns and pistol rounds
tranquil heath
I've mostly been playing customs. I get my ass blasted on factory xD
steady pilot
Sks has 10 rd internal mag. Verpkm has 10 rd pocket mags
steep oracle
factory is tough lots of action no time to chill out and heal / loot etc
merry hawk
@tranquil heath. . i do factory for exp so I can get into the Flea Market
steady pilot
Youd mainly only need 3 total mags and top off after a kill or two.
bold kernel
@vocal cobalt
stone surge
@steady pilot internal mag is cheaper
merry hawk
if i get loot. . all the better

@sacred jewel that's how tarkov goes for everyone when they first start. It's a knowledge game. As you progress and learn from your mistakes you naturally get better

white names need to go to the #521628660298678283 channel to get get message history and other stuff. . info in the channel

Go to #521628660298678283 and #news-setup to unlock discord and be able to use #pvp-lfg. If you get a blue name you did it right. If for some reason it doesnt work, message the Contact Moderators bot for acess. @tranquil heath @hardy widget @worldly sorrel
stone surge
tarkov as a game doesn't hold your hand and no data is provided to as in what is good/bad etc. It all comes from asking questions on discord and through experience.
so you can't be good at the game right off the bat even if you have good aim.
it's quite complex in how everything works.
bold kernel
@steady pilot i cant find Verpkm when i search for it

that happens as newer player

"Bullet flight is simulated realistically in Escape from Tarkov. Bullets have speed, are affected by gravity and air friction and can penetrate or ricochet when hitting objects, and even fragment when doing so."

anyone have any tips for inventory management?

Play more tetris

@worldly sorrel pull mags and grips off
stone surge
@worldly sorrel organize stuff in cases and have some room on the top/bottom left for new items.
worldly sorrel
ooo ok
dire stirrup
Stack bags into bags, take out mags and pistol grips of weapons, get a scav junkcase
stone surge
so if you for example dissemble a gun, that it doesn't fuck up your inventory
bold kernel
but in all honesty i didnt think the gun was real. This game is like a real life simulator for me and sks are popular. i live in stateless ghetto government has abandoned the place
