beginners-assistance

[mighty ore]

So I find it worth

But yeah, if something goes bonkers cash on flea market sell it there

[celest fox]

So the people who list something for instance, like a dust cover

why do they sell on flea market rather than vendoring

[mighty ore]

Depends on if the dust cover is available from vendors

[twilit patio]

traders get out of stock and the play the market

[mighty ore]

Yeah

Also some people don't have loyalty levels yet

[twilit patio]

when traders get out of stock they play the market*

oh and also that

[fleet field]

My best scav run

[twilit patio]

beast run

[fleet field]

Started on interchange 6 minutes late with only AKM

[tranquil heath]

If i wanted to do a minimal loadout run what would you guys recommend?

[steady pilot]

Keep it to #beginners-chat or #screenshots

Unless you need assistance

[fleet field]

Yeah sorry

I'm kinda a begginer

[twilit patio]

baphy paca and the old german helmet

[fleet field]

That's why

[twilit patio]

ssh-68 and paca

[celest fox]

Is there like a guide or video I can watch about this shit

[fleet field]

It's not worth it to put a helmet on unless it's a good one

[celest fox]

this is too confusing

[tranquil heath]

@fleet field which map?

[fleet field]

Interchange

[steady pilot]

@celest fox pestily and deadlyslob begginer guides and loadouts

[ember hazel]

any sherpas available?

[steady pilot]

#sherpa-info if you want to request one. @ember hazel

Otherwise you will have better luck in #pvp-lfg due to volume of players has quadrupled

[mighty ore]

Why are some but not all lights destructible?

Is it intended or is it something that's being phased in?

[steady pilot]

That seems like a developer question to which there are none here :P

[tranquil heath]

Should I run SKS on interchange or something a little more CQC?

[steady pilot]

Interchange has many viable ranges

An sks would do fine, personally a veprkm is cheaper and better stats though

[tranquil heath]

how much roughly for vepr?

[steady pilot]

9-14k they average around 15k but people undercut them all the time

Free from scavs too👌 more often that is

[tranquil heath]

Gotcha, thx

[steady pilot]

Here's a slightly modded one

But just a stock one , a tt01 ironsight, and 30rd mags good to go

[amber saffron]

would you rather use 762 PS or 545 BP for an ak?

[steady pilot]

Uhh. Tbh I dont fuck with 545 unless its BS

545 always just got me killed for being just trash overall.

[amber saffron]

okay so, how are these stats for a full auto budget ak?

[steady pilot]

Youd get better with something like this

For 60k~

Zhukov stock and pws muzzle op

[humble thorn]

is a helmet even worth to buy this late into the wipe? Is the penis helmet ok to buy?

[steady pilot]

Nah

You can earn a helmet in a raid

Otherwise don't, it's a money sink

[fierce tangle]

whats a decent medium range sight i can put on the adar? i like the pk-06 but i have a hard time hitting further targets

[amber saffron]

prism

[humble thorn]

yea true. i need to kill 25 scavs on interchange. ill body shot one of them

[steady pilot]

Tac 30, vudu, 2.5x prism, a
Elcan

[fierce tangle]

cool thanks

[steady pilot]

Vudu is a bit higher power but I love it

[fierce tangle]

also is there some kind of magical performance fixes or are stutters just part of the tarkov experience? I have everything on low except for textures because i was told it has no effect

[mighty ore]

as a player scav, if I shoot a scav are ALL scavs now hostile or is there a range to it?

[steady pilot]

Having it on low causes it to be more CPU dependent

Just use your recommended settings for your card

[stable nova]

mhm

bt vs bs..

[fierce tangle]

@steady pilot where does it say the recommended settings for my card? i have a 1070 ti

[austere mortar]

uhhhh

about the new year gift

[steady pilot]

Dont you have nvidia geforce experience

[austere mortar]

if i take it now

can i take it again after wipe?

[steady pilot]

@austere mortar yes. It exists for every wipe till it doesnt

[fierce tangle]

ahh i didnt even think of looking in that, usually the settings recommended are too high for me

[pure tundra]

1070ti can run the game on high with good fps, I have palit 1070 Ti

[fierce tangle]

i can usually stay above 60, its just the stutters that get me

[steady pilot]

Annnd how much ram do you have

[fierce tangle]

jesus, geforce experience tells me to put everything on high/ultra lol

16 gb

[steady pilot]

Processor?

[pure tundra]

Get shadows on low, turn SSR off

[odd niche]

Dual channel or single channel may matter?

[pure tundra]

Bloom off, blurr off

[fierce tangle]

ryzen 2600

[mighty ore]

If you have single channel ram

[lethal pond]

Whats you Object LOD on?

[mighty ore]

lul

[stable nova]

im almost lvl 31 and have still not done delivery from the past, i actually never tried it

now i got the docs

but im scared to enter factory..

[steady pilot]

Tbh shouldn't be having stutter issue then

My shit isnt much better and I dont

[pure tundra]

Installed on SSD or HDD?

[steady pilot]

That only matters for loading a map

[fierce tangle]

i have my gpu overclocked, should i turn that off?

[steady pilot]

No

[mighty ore]

Only if it's an unstable overclock lul

[pure tundra]

I had stuttering issues when my SSD was getting full

Once cleared it just ended

[mighty ore]

If it's factory OC or you've tested it stable tarkov won't experience issues with it

[stable nova]

someone posted this yesterday

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJzDnMElW6M

he explains every setting aswell

pretty in depth

[white lance]

y

[stable nova]

and why he chose to do it

[fierce tangle]

v sync seems to uncap fps which is kinda weird

[vivid jungle]

Wait, what? Can it force 144 instead of 120?

[stable nova]

yes when you go full screen and turn vsync on in game and off in your gpu settings

[untold creek]

Are enemy footstep sounds completely silent unless they're sprinting?

I've got a hyper x cloud 2 headset

[steady pilot]

Pretty sure vsync for games is a 60 fps lock

[stable nova]

i run it off though with gsync

daddy depends on your monitor refresh rate

[steady pilot]

Like ingame settings

[vivid jungle]

I've got mine running with gsync atm

[steady pilot]

It usually tells you with a tooltip what it does

[amber saffron]

this is my budget ak build

costs less than 100k to build and is pretty good

you need only level 2 traders for it

[steady pilot]

Well it's not budget

But yeah its good

Like a medium tier build

[amber saffron]

yeah

im super happy with it

[blissful lagoon]

Anyone know how often this key spawns? https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Portable_cabin_key_of_customs_Factory_zone

[amber saffron]

not sure, but you can buy it off the flea if you need it for a quest

[steady pilot]

^

Sure can

[amber saffron]

i think it always spawns in this jacket in factory

in this door

but you need a factory key

[blissful lagoon]

Haven't been able to find it there

[open basin]

delta

[blissful lagoon]

I've checked a couple times, just figured I'd ask if it's worth any more of my factory exit uses

[open basin]

do u play labs

[steady pilot]

(Just buy it and sell back later)

[blissful lagoon]

Ye that's prob what I'll do

[steady pilot]

@Less#9781 hell no

I don't play trash

[open basin]

also delta what map do i use my m995 on

[steady pilot]

Any map

[open basin]

ima go on customs and kill newbies with ammo more worth than them

[steady pilot]

Theres sweaties no matter what map you go to.

As long as you're not magdumping it's not an issue

They will die in 1 head shot or 2 chest taps 90% of the time

[reef drift]

long-range spray M4ed on customs... hope enjoyed my mosin 😛

[rich cloak]

@amber saffron I think the pws cqb muzzel is better value for your build

[untold creek]

@open basin that sounds like a good way to turn people off the game. Fun.

[steady pilot]

I mean you could do that with m855a1 too

[rich cloak]

@reef drift one could say you didn't have a lot Glück there

[amber saffron]

@rich cloak i think you need pk or skier level 4 for that, right?

[reef drift]

😉 yeah the Tactec that @steady pilot recommended didnt even help

[amber saffron]

i made this only on traders

[steady pilot]

[rich cloak]

@amber saffron

[steady pilot]

Armor wont always protect you, buts saved my ass numerous times

[rich cloak]

Check flea im not sure

Armor saves you from making small mistakes

[steady pilot]

Not if you stay still for a headshot either

[amber saffron]

1sec

[reef drift]

full sprint, so I guess it absorbed some bullets.. got hit ~7 times though out of his spray

[amber saffron]

you need skier 3

[steady pilot]

Sounds like he had good ammo then

[amber saffron]

im actually not far from skier 3

once ive got skier 3 ill start using that

[reef drift]

does Sagia 12g not count as a shotgun to hand over to Skier?

[thick needle]

How to make this hop?? #screenshots

[steady pilot]

@reef drift he tells you which one you need in his paragraph

[amber saffron]

i love how your preset name comes on your gun when you set it

[mighty ore]

If it's the super early one it's toz's

[amber saffron]

i love that design

[stark fable]

Jump way later than you think you need to starboi

[celest fox]

What is the benefit to leveling up traders

[stark fable]

Better gear

[reef drift]

Ah I thought TOZ was just a funny word for shotgun. Thanks delta

[mighty ore]

@thick needle Crouch jump

[stark fable]

Airstrafe more

[thick needle]

thanks @stark fable I was literally stuck on that for 20 mins in offline

[amber saffron]

i just jumped into a raid and died with my new ak

rip 100k

[mighty ore]

Imagine not just hoarding guns and never using them

[amber saffron]

lmao

[untold creek]

That's what I do

[mighty ore]

Nice little Mp5 collection

[stark fable]

Not all of us got eod

[languid flare]

#521628660298678283 #news-setup @untold creek

[rich cloak]

But why

[untold creek]

I've lost every gun I've taken out

Even crappy AK

[mighty ore]

I'm waiting until the servers aren't complete shit so I can go lose guns with my mates

[stark fable]

You won't learn if you don't use em

[mighty ore]

Also I don't have edge of darkness

[amber saffron]

its k, 100k is like one interchange scav run

if i survive

[rich cloak]

Fucking ap6.3 is so expensive now

[mighty ore]

Time to load into a night interchange and sprint around the outside looting all the stashes

[stark fable]

I just use 5.45 rounds, I found like 1000 rounds of bt in a raid and I'm set for a long time

[rich cloak]

Bt works reasonably well against most players but struggles against heavier armor

[stark fable]

I top load with 5 rounds of bs

But yeah, I still get mostly screwed when I run into heavily armored players

But lately I've mostly been dying to scavs, so I'm practising my aim with bt rounds

[rich cloak]

Yeah you shouldn't die to scavs

It happens tho

[reef drift]

Is it worth it to fight scavs? I usually just run to stashes on customs loot those and jet to avoid contact with pmcs

[rich cloak]

Not really

Money wise

But they give XP and can have valuable stuff

[amber saffron]

i use the BP

its pretty decent tbh

[mighty ore]

holy shit, spawn with adrenalin and factory key

extract time

[amber saffron]

but once i unlock BT ill use BT

[stark fable]

I mean, last time was when I walked into interchange and right off the bat had to kill 10 scavs before finally getting domed by a stray bullet

[rich cloak]

BP and bt have only a slight difference

[stark fable]

Do a scav run into reserve caliynth. The rooftops around the helo have stacks and stacks of ammo

[steady pilot]

Oof mp5

[dull silo]

does anyone know why I cant turn in body armor to Skier? I bought 4 cheap body armours and he wont take em, even after I repaired 1

[stark fable]

Wrong kind probably

[steady pilot]

@dull silo cause he wants the shitty white ones as he states in his paragraph

Module 3M

[dull silo]

it just says "body armour", he took any old shotgun

[amber saffron]

ill definitely use the BS when i get prapor level 4

[dull silo]

oh ye it does say shitty white ones

[steady pilot]

No he only takes toz shotgun

[stark fable]

Calling the God toz "any old shotgun" smh

[untold creek]

A scav I spawned as had a white lab card. Should I keep it? Or sell it? I'm lvl7 and don't have any gear or money so I probably won't run labs anytime in the near future.

[stark fable]

It goes for a decent chunk of change

No point hoarding it

[dull silo]

lol so by pure coincidence I bought 4 of the correct shotgun first try? noice

[stark fable]

But sell on flea market obviously

It goes for way more

[untold creek]

Also I absolutely cannot hear any enemy footsteps even if they're right on top of my head. Like literally me laying in the grass looting a body and a scav walks right on top of me. Is this a big?

[cerulean bluff]

From which level the Flea market starts?

[untold creek]

I've got a hyper x cloud 2 gaming headset. So it's not that.

[stark fable]

Lvl 5

Use a headset ingame

It helps

[steady pilot]

@untold creek you need the ingame head sets lol

[stark fable]

A lot

[steady pilot]

[tranquil heath]

Should I always insure my weapons for raids?

[stark fable]

Unless you are doing labs, yes

[untold creek]

Yeah. I've tried those @steady pilot. Not much difference imo

[steady pilot]

@tranquil heath insure everything always

[reef drift]

the in game headset just made my footsteps really loud. does it makes others loud too lol?

[steady pilot]

Yes

[stark fable]

It only makes yours loud when you are sprinting

[reef drift]

are the gunshots then going to blow my speakers or does it mute those?

[steady pilot]

Comtacs and sordins are good

Bro have you ever shot a gun

[stark fable]

Won't blow your speakers

[steady pilot]

They are electronic ear muffs

[reef drift]

neato - i've only shot with regular earmuffs

[steady pilot]

They reduce high decibel noise and amp lower decibel noise

[stark fable]

Also gets rid of the ambient noises in game which is nice

[steady pilot]

Well...

I'm gonna go with no

[amber saffron]

38k roubles

reeeeeeeeeee

need monies 😩

[steady pilot]

For?

[amber saffron]

i have 38k left

[tranquil heath]

how much to insure headset?

[mighty ore]

do a scav run

[steady pilot]

[mighty ore]

Extract

Sell guns

[amber saffron]

just did one

[mighty ore]

ez money

[amber saffron]

died

[untold creek]

Is there a chat on here to find people to buddy with? Also region specific?

[mighty ore]

nah just run for extract

[steady pilot]

@untold creek #pvp-lfg

[amber saffron]

got a tetriz in that

apparently its worth a lot

but i died

[untold creek]

@steady pilot cheers

[steady pilot]

110k

[amber saffron]

bruh

[steady pilot]

🥖

[amber saffron]

shouldnt have been running around like a hippo 😩

[steady pilot]

Mistakes were made

Did you learn anything for next time

[amber saffron]

yes

[steady pilot]

Good.

[mighty ore]

holy shit

I extracted

[steady pilot]

You will progress well in tarkov

[amber saffron]

just found a keycard in one of my bags

yay some money

[stone surge]

only if you extract

[steady pilot]

200k 👌

[amber saffron]

can make myself one of my aks again

[steady pilot]

Just uh

[mighty ore]

is this gun any good

[steady pilot]

Get a hunter and m80

Any gun is as good as the round it takes

So yes

[mighty ore]

Huh

[rich cloak]

@mighty ore it's great

[mighty ore]

It has a folding stock but can't fold

[amber saffron]

i used the hunter and m80 a lot when i first started, can confirm its really good

[rich cloak]

Its not foldable in tarkov

No clue why

[stone surge]

Sa-58 is good but stock you dont wanna full auto with it

it has a ton of recoil

[steady pilot]

Bets game

[mighty ore]

Yeah I was gonna mod it

[stone surge]

and spread

[steady pilot]

Beta game

[indigo sky]

guys, about the insurance....you get you re stuff back only if nobody looted it? Or you get everything back 100%

[stone surge]

only if no1 looted it

[steady pilot]

@indigo sky if nobody loots it

[rich cloak]

Only if Noone takes it

[stone surge]

so if you play with a friend, make him drop ur stuff in a bush

or corner so no1 finds it

[rich cloak]

@mighty ore I honestly would sell it and buy a m1a if you want to use 7.62 nato

[steady pilot]

Or if you kill someone , drop your kit in a Bush and walk in theirs

[mighty ore]

M1 better?

[rich cloak]

*theirs

[steady pilot]

Autocorrect

[rich cloak]

Fal isn't worth it if you don't use the full auto

[steady pilot]

Wrong

But ok

[stone surge]

kinda true

[rich cloak]

In my opinion

[mighty ore]

Wouldn't the guns be roughly the same?

[stone surge]

i go m1a rather than fal

if semi

[rich cloak]

Yes but fal coats more

[mighty ore]

I mean

[rich cloak]

I think at least

[steady pilot]

You can semi a fal just fine the rifle is 55k on the market dude

[mighty ore]

I just got it out of a scav run

[steady pilot]

Just because it has full auto doesnt mean you have to use it

[stone surge]

FAL is good

[mighty ore]

I think I'll probably go with the FAL, that way I have spray and pray if someone sprints around a corner at me

[stone surge]

so just use it if you want

just remember it has a lot of recoil

stock

[steady pilot]

They all do

[stone surge]

but it's deadly af

[rich cloak]

Yeah

[steady pilot]

All 762 rifles stock kick like a bitch except mdr

[rich cloak]

If you are gonna hunt fat bois I reccomend using M61 or m62 tho

MDR is so nice

[stone surge]

going 50/50 m61/m80 works fine

or all out on m80 in budget runs

[steady pilot]

I literally have no issues with 100% m80 still

[rich cloak]

Budget fal run

[steady pilot]

This nerf has gone to everyone's head

[rich cloak]

I had a situation where I dropped 4 round of M80 in a fat boi and didn't kill so I'm still tilted

[stone surge]

There's just no reason to go m80 that's the only thing

apart from cost

[mighty ore]

It's 45 base pen

[steady pilot]

41

[stone surge]

m80 doesnt oneshot anymore so that "beauty" is away from m80

[steady pilot]

Whatever ammo chart you're using

Stop using it

!ammo

[tribal robin]

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Ballistics

[rich cloak]

For real

[steady pilot]

Use that.

As i said, I noticed no difference. Practically performs the same to me as it did before

[rich cloak]

Good for you I guess

[steady pilot]

I snipe and use 308 dmrs all the time

Unless you're going against lvl 6 armor dude it's no sweat. It will take out lvl 5 with an extra round or 2, even then lvl 5 armor is still more rare

[reef drift]

jesus, even M80 has 5-9 bullets stopped against level 5 armor? So with hunter+m80 it's going to take 5 hits to down a guy?

[steady pilot]

If you're going labs fine, take m62 or m61

Guranteed heavies there

[rich cloak]

I bring it on interchange

[steady pilot]

It's all a dice roll @reef drift

[rich cloak]

It's all Glück

[steady pilot]

At any point a round could penetrate or fragment during that

All % rolls

M80 got the nerf it needed because , ever since hunter was released, it was ridiculous

Basically became the new mosin

But semi auto and easy pso mount ing

The PMC Assclapper 9000

[amber saffron]

how much ammo would you guys normally take when going into a raid?

[twilit patio]

two extra magazines and 30-40 of good ammo in my container

i like

[steady pilot]

3 mags give or take, extra bullets in container

Sometimes even more in my rig

Just top off as you go

[twilit patio]

just make sure at least your gun magazine has the best bullets if you dont want to spend too much money on ammo

also always check the chamber bullet because if you using a sniper and the first bullet is a bad one then you might run out of luck

[hearty sky]

Howe to lean and blind fire in t he corner?

[amber saffron]

i usually take 3 in rig and a stack of bullets in container. but if i’m farming scavs or something then i take 4 in rig, 1 in container and a stack of bullets in the container

[twilit patio]

which map you can find so many scavs?

[amber saffron]

factory

[twilit patio]

oh ok

[limpid pendant]

so why do i hear so much about skavs killing skavs being bad but then get butt pounded by skav players on skav runs every day >:

[twilit patio]

its not bad

who said its bad lol

its bad when you trying to be sneaky

but not bad as bad

[limpid pendant]

its on reddit daily

[twilit patio]

really

thats crazu

crazy*

[formal yew]

FYI to all my fellow noobs, Insure your gear. Its insane what you end up getting back

[limpid pendant]

that theres an unwritten rule to not kill skav players

[twilit patio]

what why wtf

scavs are low scums that kill everything and loot everything

i dont get it

[formal yew]

thats not what i've seen happen lol

If players see movement they kill it it doesnt matter what it is

[twilit patio]

yeah same

except when you just want to be sneaky so you dont angry them

people forget with insure that even if the enemy loots you he might as well die trying to extract

so there even more chances you get your stuff back

[formal yew]

Plus, some people just leave gear where it is or dump it if they see its a low level player

[twilit patio]

true true

i killed a lvl 1 yesterday i felt so bad

didnt take anything

he probably was overwhelmed by the game

[lime arch]

How do I open doors? (breach them)

[amber saffron]

some you need keys

[twilit patio]

some can be breached

[amber saffron]

some you can breach

some you can’t open

[twilit patio]

cant open at all?

even if you get the breaach option?>

[limpid pendant]

yeah

[twilit patio]

oh

i always though every breach option meant its doable with key

well thats something good to know

[limpid pendant]

if you get the breach option it probably needs a key, as of now you cant just kick your way through all dors with the option

[twilit patio]

probably but there can be doors with breach option that dont have a key either? they are just locked

[limpid pendant]

as far as i know if you have door options theres likely a key to open it

[twilit patio]

oook

[limpid pendant]

theres like a ton of keys in this game just look at maps most of them say what keys go where

[inland nebula]

guys why cant i put this on my gun https://prnt.sc/qmkc7v

[twilit patio]

right click to a gun select edit preset to see most things you can do with it, also go to modding menu to see why it doesnt work

[rich cloak]

@inland nebula remove the gastube

[stone surge]

@inland nebula yup right click it and try putting it together with edit presets or modding

Saves some hassle as it sometimes need to be put together in a specific order

oooohhhh

thanks bro didnt realise that before

[rich cloak]

And now everything should attach

Oh and take off the muzzelbreak

[stone surge]

get used to edit presets / modding options though

they're a godsend for putting together builds

[reef drift]

So I have like 500k rubles from various pmc/scav runs... what now? Keep going hunter-m80/tactec? MP5s? Spend money on quests?

[steady pilot]

Yes edit preset teaches you how to mod

Pay attention

[twilit patio]

I know but sometimes you have to find the mount and link search which is a bit annoying, i wish they would fix that

or similar bugginess like that

[rich cloak]

At some point you'll just know what attaches in what way

[flint mist]

can someone help me with delivery from the past 1 in factory?

@flint mist just jump into a 5man lfg

no

oh on discord

[bold kernel]

tell em u need to do ur quest

yeah never accept random invites

[flint mist]

how many people can queue up together?

thanks

[bold kernel]

indeed

anytime

[rich cloak]

@verbal relic do you want the normal prism or the Monstrum?

Because the Monstrum should attach straight away

[verbal relic]

I just bought the compact mount and it worked 🙂

Compolicated game

[rich cloak]

Allright

[amber saffron]

you prolly had the 2.5

[rich cloak]

Yeah that's the fun of it

[verbal relic]

Dude I thought I have been building good weapons and ammo and I still need 3 Mags to kill somebody...lol..while I get one shoted

[amber saffron]

bad ammo

[solid birch]

Why are my scav games so much easier compared to my PMC? as a scav I always find players that arent that good really, and when I play my PMC its groups of ppl or insanely geared PMCs

[amber saffron]

don’t use the adar when you’re new, because you probably can’t have good ammo

[rich cloak]

Gun doesn't matter as long as your ammo is shit

[steady pilot]

Cheap or shit gun ok. Shit ammo is not

[amber saffron]

^

[verbal relic]

What would be good ammo for the adar?

[amber saffron]

use vepr hunter with m80

[steady pilot]

M855A1

Or m995

[amber saffron]

m995, or m885a1

[steady pilot]

!ammo

[tribal robin]

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Ballistics

[bold kernel]

don't even tell him about 995

[steady pilot]

Learn about ammo there

[amber saffron]

but don’t use the adar, that’s my advice but

[bold kernel]

that shit is way too expensive

[steady pilot]

@bold kernel he asked
Not going to lie

[amber saffron]

vepr hunter with m80 or vepr km with ps

[steady pilot]

Second of all spending 30-50k on ammo could save you 250k in kit and net you an extra 500k in kit for taking out a geared boy

[bold kernel]

very true

but he doesn't sound like he's taking 200k+ kits out

[steady pilot]

Just saying get rid of the mindset

Lol

[verbal relic]

nah man hahaha

[bold kernel]

very true

you realize how important this shit is when ur paying 40k for just an empty mag

[verbal relic]

I have a M1A in my inventory... Hot or not?

[amber saffron]

yes

use with m80

you’ll kill high geared players

[rich cloak]

Hot

[steady pilot]

You could literally take a veprkm with 1 mag of BP, take out first geared boy you see, yeet your kit in a Bush and walk in his. So when you die you lose his shit

[mossy jungle]

whats a gauge worth on fleamarket atm?

[bold kernel]

almost all .308s are dope

[rich cloak]

50k

I don't actually no a 7.62 Nato which isn't good

[steady pilot]

sr25

[amber saffron]

https://eft-loot.com/ to check flea prices when ur not ingame

[bold kernel]

whaaaaat

@steady pilot why u no like sr

[steady pilot]

I love the sr

Its stats are a meme

Poorly represented

[amber saffron]

im currently liking my ak-74m build

[rich cloak]

Are they?

[verbal relic]

Dude I cannot even differentiate a gear player from a Scav

HA

[bold kernel]

pretty balanced imo

[rich cloak]

I was planing on using it but haven't gotten around to it yet

[fringe magnet]

Does higher ergo reduce weapon sway when in ADS?

[rich cloak]

Yes

[bold kernel]

@verbal relic takes time plus shit doesn't render properly sometimes

[steady pilot]

I still use regardless

[verbal relic]

That weapon looks niiice

[bold kernel]

yeah that's like me and the mdr

[rich cloak]

MDR is fucking mint

[bold kernel]

love it

[rich cloak]

The new one atleast

[bold kernel]

but I think 556 one is a little wack

[rich cloak]

Haven't really used the 556 one

[steady pilot]

Mdr 308 stats are fucking ridiculous

And makes no sense

[rich cloak]

Yeah

[amber saffron]

[rich cloak]

The ergo

[bold kernel]

DT MDR is where it's at

[rich cloak]

THE ERGO

[steady pilot]

Its literally 90 ergo and 90 recoil

With zero cost

[rich cloak]

Hell yeah

[steady pilot]

From stock

[bold kernel]

insane

[steady pilot]

Which is bull shit cause it's a bullpup

And doesnt have a buffer system

[rich cloak]

I bet my ass it's gonna get nerfed in the future

What does a buffer system actually do?

[bold kernel]

I mean for a bullpup it does look pretty ergonomic

[glad aspen]

got it, thanks @steady pilot

[amber saffron]

so

im in the mood of some decent pistol runs for money, what’s a good pistol and what ammo should i use?

[bold kernel]

5-7

[amber saffron]

it’s mainly for scavs, as i’ll avoid PMCs but in case i face a pmc it should be slightly effective

[rich cloak]

If you bring a five seven you could just bring a real gun instead

The other 9mm pistols don't really have that much difference but the glock 17 or m9 are probably best

[bold kernel]

hey man he said pistol I give him the best pistol

[rich cloak]

He asked for the best pistol for a pistol run

[amber saffron]

affordable decent pistol*

[rich cloak]

Glock 17

[amber saffron]

thanks i’ll try them out

[solid birch]

does interchange only have 2 exits?

[rich cloak]

@Ursidae#1337 3 for pmc 2 for scav

[solid birch]

alright thx

[woeful mortar]

is west wing 301 key a quest item?

[solid birch]

I spawned with these on my scav https://i.imgur.com/XV6Ohjj.png

Very expensive? lol

[rich cloak]

Factory is 100k

Not sure about the other one

[solid birch]

it says over 200k

[rich cloak]

What does?

[solid birch]

market place

[rich cloak]

On the low end?

That would be news to me

[solid birch]

idk I spawned with these keys and ran straight to exit lol

i only knew factory is some money

[woeful mortar]

damn you lucky XD

thats like nearly 300k +

[solid birch]

game giving me money back after i bought my first junkbox

[woeful mortar]

what about west wing key?

[pastel comet]

Did they replace the old christmas package with this new one?

[woeful mortar]

301 is that a quest item or nah?

[amber saffron]

yeah @pastel comet

[pastel comet]

dang how else am I gonna get my key ring thats a rip

[waxen forge]

Buy a docs case

[amber saffron]

sell this stuff and get one from the flea

i have a docs

it’s so good

i honestly don’t know what i would have done without it

[pastel comet]

Does a doc case have more space?

[amber saffron]

no

same space

but you can put money keycards and bitcoins

[atomic flume]

how much does a docs case cost

[amber saffron]

and some other stuff

[waxen forge]

Docs holds keys, tags, $

YOu can do the trade for keytool

[pastel comet]

ahh, ok I'm starting to see the value of a docs case now

[amber saffron]

it’s 1x2 tho instead of 1x1

[waxen forge]

5 superwater, 8 H2O2, and 6NaCl

[amber saffron]

docs are honestly a blessing

i love docs

[atomic flume]

wb a small sicc case

[waxen forge]

I quit carrying a keytool and carry a sicc case now

[pastel comet]

would you marry a docs case :3

[amber saffron]

@atomic flume that’s the best, but i can’t afford it

i’d love to have a sicc

but it’s way to expensive for me rn

[pastel comet]

I have another question, I noticed they added a new helmet, its that black pilot looking helmet

would you say thats better than the green bowl or nah

oh its called a tank helmet

[waxen forge]

Green better iirc

[pastel comet]

alright thanks I was wondering

[supple terrace]

for some reason I can put my Adar 2-15 up for sale on the market, it's kitted out

I can put other offers up tho

[frail harness]

hi guys, how can i determine how much a modded weapon is worth to sell on the flea market

[supple terrace]

You gotta kinda determine it yourself

Like I'd sell my adar for 250k cuz it's really kitted out

you gotta do a cost benefit analysis in your head

[frail harness]

k thx

[supple terrace]

np

But could someone please help me?

I can't sell my ADAR

I can sell it to traders just not on the market

is there any attachment that could be interfering?

[rich cloak]

@supple terrace don't sell it like that

Take the mods off

[supple terrace]

damnit, I was gonna flip it for profit, but thanks

[rich cloak]

Nobody buys it like that and if they do its because you don't want enough

[reef drift]

how do people snipe auctions on the flea market? is there a shortcut to purchase you can mash or something?

[rich cloak]

@reef drift bots

Or macros

Or API fuckery

Take your pick

[waxen forge]

Really should just sell basic weapons by breaking down and selling to Skier then rest to mechanic

Save flea for the tech/hardware items

Imo

Plus as new people you need to get your "spent" up with traders anyway

I'm never going to sell weapon on flea

Maybe a suppressor or Optic but that's rare for me

[supple terrace]

what about for example the M4A1 Space Trooper, How would I go about selling that for maximum profit? (was it a mistake I bought that off mech?)

[rich cloak]

Sell the parts

[waxen forge]

For me I disassemble and sell to Skier...then rest to mechanic

[rich cloak]

Nobody buys modded guns

[waxen forge]

I do that for all weapons

[supple terrace]

was it stupid to buy that thing tho?

[rich cloak]

Yeah kinda

[supple terrace]

xD

[rich cloak]

What's the price again?

[supple terrace]

3 GP and 2 BC

[waxen forge]

I save my flea spots / and posting time for tech and hardware.

[rich cloak]

Oh no that fine I think

[woeful mortar]

Can anyone tell me if the west 301 key is worth it to keep or sell it?

[rich cloak]

Check the market

[supple terrace]

should I sell the space trooper or use it some day?

[waxen forge]

Up to you man

[rich cloak]

Your call

[supple terrace]

like I'm broke ag

af*

[waxen forge]

Then sell

[supple terrace]

ok

[rich cloak]

If you ain't using it sell it

[supple terrace]

so dissasemble and sell everything to skier and the stuff he doesn't take to mechanic?

[waxen forge]

Yes

[supple terrace]

k thanks

[waxen forge]

np

[dense zenith]

Should flea market some parts

[supple terrace]

Damn I just made 260k right there lol

too late xD

[gray mountain]

Try and sell all barter goods to the Therapist tho

if she takes them

its probably the best price you are gonna get

[supple terrace]

she sadly doesn't take guns

[gray mountain]

yeah

but anything else

meds

food

etc

[waxen forge]

For barter/task items check flea price vs. therapist. Some will be better on flea..some better to therapist

[woeful mortar]

check the weapon mods, I found a gun I could sell for like 30k but one part on it was worth 150k

[pastel comet]

do you only need one key to open Kiba now?

[waxen forge]

CPU is about 11K to therapist and similar on flea so I sell that to therapist

2 kiba keys

[dense zenith]

A lot of the vendor trades for barter items are trash, but a lot are really dope. Just have to do some research on what is worth what

[solid birch]

server dying?

[waxen forge]

PMC and Scav skills are totally separate

[polar wadi]

okay so where do i see my scav progression?

if you even can

[waxen forge]

When on a scav run hit tab and the can see skills and such

Has to be while you are a scav...so in raid

[polar wadi]

thank you!

If you need the money/stash space sell it

[amber saffron]

servers dying? >_<

or is my 8 hours of playing impacting my game, lemme restart

[inland nebula]

guys is there any way to change from BEAR to USEC ?

[surreal spear]

Guys how does those wipes works?

I loose everything?

Rep and quests too?

[rich cloak]

Jup

As if you play for the first time

[surreal spear]

[waxen forge]

Wipes are good

[surreal spear]

Will they remain that kind of season thing when it goes full release?

I heard they are good and that ppl are hyped for them

I kind of lost my sense of progression

[waxen forge]

No official word but the game needs wipes. Something will have to be in place to keep the need to progress

[surreal spear]

And I was super in love in the game for the first week

[bold kernel]

this chat is for assistance

[mighty mica]

this a decent build?

[amber saffron]

its uhh, alright

but i made one earlier today

lemme show you

[mighty mica]

ok

[amber saffron]

its fairly on a budget, and low recoil

[rich cloak]

@mighty mica okay so I run a ak74 with a b10 + rk1, butpad and pws cqb

That gets the gun to about 65 recoil afaik

[mighty mica]

how much does it cost

[rich cloak]

No clue

[rich cloak]

60k or something

[amber saffron]

this is under 100k depending on where you buy it and when, and you only need level 2 traders

[rich cloak]

Imo the fancy stocks aren't worth it

[open basin]

pt-3 on a budget build

[gleaming monolith]

can anyone help me out

[amber saffron]

-49% recoil

i need that

😤

[rich cloak]

And how much is it?

what bullets to use for 5.56x45 m4?

[amber saffron]

thanks a lot @open basin i had no idea about that

[open basin]

m855a1 is the minimum

np buddy

[amber saffron]

ill definitely start using that for cheaper aks

[open basin]

what ammo do you even use for the aks

545 bt?

or are you using the good ammos

[amber saffron]

BS

[fierce tangle]

so are headsets just not worth it on factory since its so small?

[waxen forge]

Ears are always worth it

hey guys when does the armored train depature?

[fierce tangle]

aight. just seems so chaotic, all im really trying to do is drop that damn case and leave haha

when does the train depature

its beeped once

[restive quartz]

Anyone in here at least a slightly experienced player that would want to do a raid together and kind of teach me a little bit about the game? I have the general idea. I just play solo and die A LOT haha. I feel like I'm doing something wrong.

[waxen forge]

Not fully

[inland nebula]

guys is there any way to change BEAR to USEC ?

[waxen forge]

Have to reset account

[fierce tangle]

so if im reading this right, is 5.45x39 BP the lowest one should go for ammo?

[amber saffron]

why are so many people asking that today?

@fierce tangle yeah

[fierce tangle]

thanks

[rich cloak]

@fierce tangle BP is the lowest you should ever use

[fierce tangle]

im just tryin to run in factory, drop this case, and leave haha

[rich cloak]

Bt is slightly better and bs is what you should use

[fierce tangle]

do i need to extract for delivery from the past or just finishing placing the case?

[dense zenith]

You have to extract, but you can do it in another raid if you die

If you place the case you won't have to again

[rich cloak]

Once it's stashed you have that step done

[fierce tangle]

whats a good loadout for factory. ive never ran it before so im just messin around on offline mode

[dense zenith]

Mpx, mp5/7/9

Grenades, don't forget to use them

T4 armor/helmet+

I don't like zabralo or helmets that deafen you, even if they do make you into a walking tank

Sordins or tac sport

Airframe with racs/chops

[amber saffron]

my new budget/decent ak build

any advice on changes?

[dense zenith]

I'd slap on a Weaver instead

Slightly more expensive but I prefer it heavily

[amber saffron]

sight?

[dense zenith]

Yes

It's a reflex as well

[glossy nebula]

why cant i open door like

it only says breach

[amber saffron]

you need a key

sure, ill try the weaver

[glossy nebula]

oh true

[dense zenith]

It's locked or unopenable

Weaver is sick

[stone surge]

@amber saffron PWS muzzlebreak instead of DTK-1

[dense zenith]

Best reflex

[stone surge]

and if you need to save money go magpul RVG instead of RK-1

also pp-19 pistolgrip

and rest is gucci

[amber saffron]

thanks!

[stone surge]

bastion dustcover if you want ur reflex scope to be closer to ur face

otherwise this is fine

[amber saffron]

gotcha

[stone surge]

after that to further reduce recoil it's gonna be more pricey

as you'll have to replace handguard, which will cost about 25-35k

to make impact

[dense zenith]

At that point I'd just buy a different gun

[amber saffron]

yeah, cant really afford more than this

[stone surge]

ye then i would just go pp-19 pistolgrip & pws muzzlebreak

[dense zenith]

Can just buy a dtmdr or something rather than funneling cash into an ak

[stone surge]

RK-1 is really expensive though, i would personally replace it with magpul RVG

but it's up to youi

[amber saffron]

true

ill change it

[golden badge]

i hear that adding a rubber pad to your stock is a fairly cheap way to add a decent stat boost

[bold kernel]

just got 2 lab key cards from a scav raid what do to with them?

[amber saffron]

sell if you're not gonna labs

[dense zenith]

Save 3 found in raid key cards

Need them for Jaeger later

[bold kernel]

when do u even unlock him?

[subtle nimbus]

sell them if you are new player

they are worth a lot

[dense zenith]

True that one is way later

[verbal relic]

This game seems so much fun. But you spend hours and hours dying. Minimum play time....it is not fun. I really want to play it. But right now it is just frustating

[bold kernel]

im a new player but not depreate of monney i got so probably gonna save them

desperate*

[dense zenith]

Just sell em for now, you'll find more

[verbal relic]

It does not matter what I do. At this point in the game fighting just not makes sense for beginners

[subtle nimbus]

i mean, you have got lots of stuff which needs money

hideout, traders, cases for inventory

tasks

[bold kernel]

what cases are good?

i havent bouth any

[amber saffron]

depends on what you need one for

[dense zenith]

Scav junkbox

[bold kernel]

scav box firsdt

should i buy it on flea or?

[subtle nimbus]

i mean, they all do amazing job, but cheapest and easiest to get are ammo and mag boxes

[bold kernel]

ll2 therapist

[dense zenith]

Best first major purchase

[amber saffron]

i personally love the docs to keep it in your secure container, the scav for more stash spare and putting so much stuff in it

[bold kernel]

i just got med and monney box

keep em
