Any sherpas on?
What's up?
where do i buy ak-12 std. mags do any traders sell em?
The little 10 round mags? AK custom?
When in doubt right click your gun and hit linked search
and you can list all the magazines that will fit
Prapor
Which rifle
go in the ak74
Skull ring is like only 40k think
thats for aks
Lucky scav
If my stash is full, can I partially accept a insurance return? or will accepting it forfeit the remainder?
Can move some in now and some later but insurance does expire
Your insurance items will be available to you for about 2 days
but it will stay as long as I take it before it expires?
So you can let them sit there while you open up stash space
Hey all, new here. May sound dumb. But trying to list an item on the flea market to trade. But it wont let me choose the item I want to trade. Am I missing something, or is it a glitch perhaps?
#521628660298678283 and #news-setup @rain hornet so you can see all of Discod
*discord
Alright thanks guys
Np bro good luck
Add item. Choose item from stash. Plus sign to add currency. Place offer
Yeah, its the add item that does not seem to work.. it wont let me drag it from the stash to the area to sell.
What is it?
For flea market?
its so expensive...
You don't drag
is tomahawk considered a pickaxe?
1.4m on flea. 
ctrl-click
on the flea market.. I thought I could drag it over
If someone is selling and demanding roubles AND euros/dollars it seems to be bugged so you can't actually buy the item
Click βadd offerβ then you just left click the item to select it to sell.
@bold kernel It is worth but don't break your bank getting to it
Got it.. so it was a click.. thanks!
why not tho..
Np!
it will save my life kinda..
Some things are not too intuitive in the menus
They're Russian π
I guess it doesnt really matter if you blow all your money
You can always just make more π€·π»ββοΈ
^
whats the best way to make it tho
ive got alot of savin up to do for that much money
hm..
when you spawn into customs with a pistol and 43mins left as a scav lol
idk what stuff i should be looting where it is..
Building items are decent
Tech, hardware for hideout
whats timer mean next to extract list
Customs is awful for loot
its question mark
ah
which ones from that list should i be going to @trim heraldl
Depends on where you spawn
I had a scav run last night where i spawned with a keycard and a mil base key that sold for 800K. rng is real
I usually hit around 10-12
They're the numbers in yellow
Click the imgur link and he shows exactly where they are with screenshots too
Pretty much anything in the game
If you hit about 10 you should have in excess of 200k's worth
On average
anyone have any answers to why my scav exits aren't working?
work for me..
ive been playing with my buddys and they load in like 3 minutes before me
Some exits have requirements
do you have an ssd
no
i load in 3 mins before my buddy
That's your problem
he runs off of hdd
SSD is load time
so if i dont have a ssd im just screwed?
RAM also will hurt you
:C
is English not in the #news-setup channel or am i just tweaking?
Not screwed but will load in late

on reserve i've tried the heating pipe, cp fence, and hole in the wall and none of them let me exfil @young geyser
where do i see my traders levels
@muted hare it isnt, I just selected europe
@bold kernel go into the traders menu and top right
current attitude?
ok
any sherpa want to teach me the very basics of labs in 1 or 2 runs, i can pay for acces cards
π€·π»ββοΈ Heating pipe should be fine. Idk
yeah nothing is comng up at all for exfil
Yo guys in quest Supplier do i need to hand them over at the same time all of them or can i just put one and then another ?(armor,shotguns)
You can do them 1 at a time
^
Just as and when you get them
well i cant give it to him xd
nvm
xd
now there is an option to give them xd
(or maybe i am just blind)
I was wondering, do you think it's better to run solo or run with a small group? (2-3 people) I've been testing to see which is better but honestly I haven't a clue.
depends
If you have one to give him in his tasks menu it should say 'turn in'
Preference
groups can be a liability if they dont play well @digital hearth
I really like solo shoreline runs if i need to get loot
In a group without experience together and good comms there is a hesitation to shoot and you may die due to hesitation...or shoot teammate
customs for more action
Solo you shoot without hesitation
That is true, just wanted to see what opinions everyone had
Everyone says learn customs, I say learn shoreline. You can come out 70% of the time with a full kit
Customs has a higher reward if completed but there are better players there and more snipers
Just went John Bick mode on woods with saiga
Also for me group play can relieve stress with the right group, sometimes it's better to just have fun instead of tryharding
nice striker
That unlooted pmc tho
I literally only started with a vest and saiga and left with some armour an adar, ak and saiga
my bpm was over 9999
hello guys
anyone in for a group ? :0
tired to play alone
just killed a group and got killed they had fcking killa armor and shit π¦
#521628660298678283 and #news-setup @bold kernel so you can see all of Discord including #pvp-lfg
ok thx
Until you get to a point when loot doesnt matter and you start having fun
I will make that VPO work
can I keep my quest rewards with the trader indefinitely?
yes
sweet
okay.. i think ima not have gear fear and stop being a little bitch and gear up fully.. go onto shoreline and try to get some of these caches
gotta be the most loot ive ever risked lmao
Just think to yourself that the gear comes and goes, if you're not using it then you've not really got it
Just as useless sat in the stash as it is losing it
yeah.. thats a good mindset
i can litteraly go in with pistol or scav runs and get the same looot in less than a day
Yup, it's hard for new players to visualise but the more you play the more you realise that even on shitty days you can have gear flowing in.
i find it verrrry easy..
Obviously not always and everyone has bad days where they just bleed resources
i lost gear fear by getting rich 
I just dont care if I lose stuff haha. I'm always sad if I die without at least shooting my gun
But it happens
F
f
Not all doors open
im just fkn kicking the god damn door
f to open doors and also accidentally kick them really loudly
Some only open with keys, some never open
If you only get a breach option then it doesnt open or you need a key
Anyone know a reason why I can't stick my PT lock on my AK74n?
any merchant sell 5.45x39 BP?
Prapor
Get the akm/ak74 pt lock
bs better?
Yes
Bs is best
Way better
Prapor lvl4 sells BS
what does people icon mean when selecting maps
how many players are in that game?
like customs is 6-12
Yeah
o wow i thought thered be more per game
the difficulty says factory is easy π€
Im an idiot and bought an AK-74n but i need AKS-74n
Difficulty is a meme
Can i just jump into the LFG voice channels?
goin in shoreline with this gear and gear fear kinda gettin to me π
why not repair the armor
You lvl 5 yeah?
why not put the ammo into your alpha container

Sell your shitty armour, get that
Lose the helmet too
WDYM YOU'RE LVL 5?
what
when I was lvl 5 I had like 1 rouble and maybe 2 or 3 dollars
but I knew how to repair things lmfao π
Also keep the morphine unless you've already done the therapist quest to turn in morphines π
i dont really think of repairing i guess
i havent so ill keep it
ok so sell this one and then buy that one
Is there any way to add the game to Radeon settings so I can adjust the color settings?
Or do I just have to do it Global (meaning for everything on my PC as well)?
from flea?
Yeah
It'll take your rig slot, so you'll have a bit less space
But it'll actually protect you from bullets
how do you join friend
@bold kernel No idea bud, I have a good gpu
but then i cant quickly reload cause i dont have a tac rig on
thats 1 big disadvantage
It counts as a rig
just put mags in there
How do i join a friend?
Imagine believing the very top end of amd is actually better than the very top end of nvidia
i mean, nvidia is at the top for $1000 gpus. For $999 or less? amd. 100%. every time.
Yeah, but I said I have a good gpu π
imagine having bought a 1080ti for 430β¬
laughing forever
Imagine starting every sentence with the word imagine
(imagine) couldn't be me
Imagine imagining starting every sentence with the word imagine
How do i join a friend?
I just love games with flea market style systems haha
ye especially when u can easily use macros 
i dont macro or bot but I still made 10 mil in my first week
alrighty im going in wish me luck 
Has the flea market always been around?
Got a question, what mag do I need to make the M700 top loading?
But this is beginners..
Any mag
Do I need the archangel stuff then?
your question is #weapon-modding
Because I'm running Mod X
No, my mod x top loads
Top loading I think just needs the internal mag
No
if nobody else extracts with it
@bold kernel insuring stuff is 100% worth it anyway. Always.
always insure mosins
people dont have space for them and they can destroy geared people
oh btw how do i put the visor up on those helmets
N
insure everything pretty much
okay thx
sometimes you get killed by a scav, sometimes by a full gear, sometimes by a player who later dies to a scav, ....
ok not much experience on shoreline but i can figure my way to chaces
caches
@bold kernel I'd drop that helmet you're using and pick up an Ssh-68 from ragman
It's also nice because if your stuff is insured, and you find better stuff you hide your own kit and get it back
Ah ok
also referred to as insurance fraud
if u insure a backpack with stuff in it
Generally wont stop many rounds and blocks your hearing
everything inside insured?
lol if you were watching pestily last night, full kit, helmet with visor, killed a pile of scavs, one last one turns and one taps him through visor - even the best will still die to scavs
Only if you insured the stuff inside it
@rain oar I'll double check in the hideout just in case
im scwared
@frosty plinth honestly watching them die to stuff like that made me feel better
lol true
because as much as I do believe every death is your own fault in some fashion
it's refreshing to see guys who are really good and experienced die to shit I die to
does the thing where you take out a fuel tank and have it refill not work anymore or what
I've always hated visors but in the last few days I've had so many bullet holes and lives saved by them that I'm converting
No @hallow thicket
fuck
Hoping someone knows how to fix this, whenever I start the game the EFT launcher crashes (game still loads, I have it set to keep the launcher open, I checked) and some/all of my Firefox tabs crash
how do i get fuel easily lol
Back of OLI spawns fuel quite often
Can buy it from Jaegar
Or jaeger yeah
@rain oar Works for me with the 10 round pmag
@hallow thicket either reserve or interchange or ya buy from jaegar
it's one of those things, I never find it when I need it
i keep fucking failing the quest to unlock jaegar lmao
Buried caches will have it sometimes
The solar power upgrade for hideout is a lifesaver too
ik how to do it but i keep fucking dying with the note
isnt there a way to make fuel from the crickenet lighers?
alt f4
i have alot of good loot rn not time for shit like this
@trim herald Even with this one?
That's the exact mag I'm using π
(Yes yes, my stash is a mess)
I'm trying to fit a "Prism 2.5x" scope onto a Vepr Hunter - what mount do I need to get?
i can reconnect right?
more organized than mine lol
The linked search turns up nothing
this cursor is very annoying
yup @bold kernel
Maybe fits on the TT01 rear sight
I got a bug where I couldn't reload, count your blessings haha
well im reconnecting
i have so many modded weapons but my friends arent online so i don't want to use them
that thing doesnt let me aim down sights
i need a weapons case so bad lmao
time to sell sell sell
you can upgrade stash but its expensive in hideout
do scav raiders spawn on any maps besides labs?
reserve
and scav boss guards are raider-esk, so customs
I'm trying to fit a "Prism 2.5x" scope onto a Vepr Hunter - what mount do I need to get?
How much is this worth guys ? Plz help me
what trader
Make sure you take the ammo out
this is all i have
If it's BS or Igolnik keep it if you use AK's, otherwise sell it
Ight ill try see how much its worth
I dont see a TT01 in the market, is it someplace different?
aks is around 30k alone
I do that same search and nothing comes up
if im not lvl 2 with him can I not buy it?
Do you have some other filters on?
A condition filter excluded it?
Weird - yea i see it now. My condition filter was excluding it
@small perch I should have sold the M80 rounds. I hit a guy in the thorex 3 fucking times with M700, still managed to headshot me...
is there anyone here that is very rich in this game and just wanna help me out for getting some stuff
@tribal cove m80 is fine but not for bolt fire
GHello
Can anybody help for the Adar? I would like to put a sight
that is higher than the front iron sight
Unfortunately it corresponds and I cannot find a "higher ris"
my gun wont let me shot
I hate M80 now. Im selling all my 300 rounds. Fuck this
i mean like a little thick thing..
remove the front iorn sight put on new gas block
@tribal cove M62/62 or bust π
to me right?

Get that
Nope still wont work
Then you don't need the front sight
thx
it wont let me shot lmao
im in raid
@sly warren Not sure then, do you have the workstation built?
@trim herald I have 40 M61 in my box. Will use that. I hit a guy while running 3 times...
Nope
but if u put wrong caliber the gun cannot load them..
i have bp 5.45x39 in 5.45x39 and i picked up a shotgun off scav and it wont let me shot it
Then I'd recommend building that π You probably need a different dust cover if the tt01 doesn't work
Restart I guess
love that died because i cant shot lmao
guns not reloading
They're moving servers currently
right now..?
so all my shit is gone
great
why dont they have a warning in game like wtf?
why does my gun let me shoot then just randomly stop
Oh, could be low durability
Thank you it works..
it was on 2 guns
where should i go after customs
yeah ill give it a go but its annoying af
And you can have a look at what you need to be able to stick the 2x on there
okay.. so i was shooting someone, he teleported on my screen to the road then they 2 shot me and i died
2 screw nuts, 2 bolts weatherman multitool
like why should i go in with good gear if thats gonna happen..
Bruh, it's a beta. Shit happens.
How do I see what i need to do to fit the scope on it?
ik... lol... like all my raids today successful when fully geared up all gone lol
Press the arrow down on the different tabs
One should have optic
s
Or mounts
Otherwise change the dust cover or the foregrip and have a look at what fits
You can only see things you've examined though
So it may be worth going onto the Flea and examining a bunch of mods
how do people walk up to me without me hearing them
I did that but nothing comes up as avalible
You don't have the attachments examined then
its so annoying that a scav walked up to me and shot me a few times and i lost all the stuff i had
Not all slots will have something you can put in them, but most of them should
Scavs can be ninjas sometimes
especially if you have a helmet that makes it harder to hear
Is there no 2.5 scope possible on the Vepyr?
I'm pretty sure there is, but you probably need a different dust cover or foregrip
I don't know which one off the top of my head, so play around in the preset menu, it's good practice anyways for when you want to mod other guns
b-13 I think is your winner Lance
Vepry doesnt have a dust cover i think
It would by default, if you don't have one on then you should get one
Vepr km or hunter?
The vepr dust cover doesn't have a rail, you need a side mount. Look up the B-13 Classic
just put a okp-7 on it and call it a day lol
You need to stick the prism on the compact mount
And then the compact mount on something else
Linked to Prism is "Compact Mount for Sights" but that doesnt link to the Vepyr Hunter
Because it goes on a rail
OMG that worked
Like probably the TT01
what is a decent budget armor
running around with a 100kish gun and dont know what armor is worth it or what a good kit is
Sight goes on mount which goes on rail
!wiki 6b3tm
which goes on gun

Get back to work Ryan
so how good of ammo cause my last run I used 100 rounds that cost me like 100k
and I lost it all cant do that again
I officially have no guns left in my stash.
Depends on what gun you're using Spooky
100K on ammo is cheap for 100 rounds
and not enough money to get the gear to go into a raid and survive.

Idk what made you take 100k worth of ammo
Sounds like m995.
You could just learn to use a vss that cost 40k and just use sp6 rounds
Quiet as hell and drops pmcs easy
Once you get over the massive drop past 50m
does damage drop over distance
No
BS and BP 762 is almost 1k/round now as well @steady pilot
I'm okay with that too
what ammo you sugget for a ak
Not everyone should just be able to go to the market and be able to afford the best ammo 247
also all the armor is beat to shit on the flea market
5.45x39 or 7.62?
545
I mean I'm just saying because it doesn't have to be 995 to be 100k for 100 rounds π
@bold kernel any scope you want.
There are several
just name any xD
what scope can go on m4a1?
Not a sherpa* but i know you can buy cheap scopes from level 1 prapor.
as in 2x,4x
PK-06 Pillad Weaver
Go look up a bastion dustcover on the market
Burris
Use linked search on it
5.45x39
so I shouldnt buy the absolute best ammo but idk where the cutoff is on that chart
You can get by with BT
BP and BT will get you killed eventually because you can't kill someone who's got juicy gear
And there's nothing more frustrating than dying when you should've won a gun fight and got some sick loot
BP if you are really hurting for $ but nothing less
Cheap gun is okay. Cheap or ineffective ammo is what gets you killed
lol man ammo is so pricey
What kind of stock fits on an MP5SD?
For good reason
Just wait for the M107, it'll be like $100 per round if they ever implement it π
2 mil is still plenty π
Are there still twitch drops going on?
no
Start using 762 nato rifles and m80 bud
Ugh m80
Better than using shitty ak rounds
True
I understand the whole not one tapping chest thing all the time like it used to. But it still absolutely destroys armor with successive shots and is still cheap
I don't disagree, but I'd still recommend M62/61 over it
It's just way better as an alternative than BP is for 545
And then were back to 1k+ roubles a round...
Okay but that's not the point I'm trying to help with
Hes new. On a budget. More or less. 762 nato rifles and m80 is an easy solution
Hunter if you're poor as hell
M1A stock is really good though
M1a is honestly second best cheap option
Or M700 if you're a baller
For $1400 out of the box the rifle is really frickin solid
Not really a suffer
Worst feeling in the world is getting the inventory glitch while you are trying to bandage
Inventory glitch?
But why?
If you need more than 20 rds you're doing something wrong
Why not 30's?
It's not a I need to spray and send lots of shots at high rpm caliber
It's a heavy hitter and performs better with accurate shots
Shouldn't need more than 5-6 on a thicc boy unless hes got lvl 6
I mean sure, but like 1 erg penalty or whatever for an extra 50% capacity?
I use 30s just because it's more ammo for the same space
You can use 30s if you want. I trained myself to make my shots count more instead of having to rely on dumping it
That's fine, I just don't see the reasoning behind not taking advantage of the extra 10 rounds but you do you π
Aesthetic and control
As I said if you need more than 20 you're doing something wrong. After a kill it's easy to reload and top off the used mag quicker
man fuck this ganme
^
I mean you could say the same thing for 10s vs 20s
I prefer larger mags so I don't have to necessarily reload after each kill
I like Emod
@dusk nebula MOE isn't bad
when it comes to ammo I would rather have it and not need it
ok
Emod is 8k, moe + pad is 14k for -2 extra points of recoil
Which I argue is negligible
Sure, but so is 6k roubles if you're running an M4 π
fucking another 200k down the drain
Everyone has ebbs and flows man
You can feel 6k more than -2 recoil points
tarkoveth just got deleted rofl
Just look at spooky
Whew lad
@runic imp everyone dies. Everyone loses good gear. Its apart of the game to learn from your mistakes and get better. I quit long ago because I had no clue what was happening and didn't have any of the resources you guys have to utilize and help your progress
I came back, started researching wiki, and grinded it out. Turns out the game is a cake walk and is just locked behind knowledge
might give my account to a buddy wanting to give it a shot
yeah nothing against the game, just find myself not having fun more anger then fun
@trim herald Sometimes you can desync and get stuck in the inventory screen. I don't know what causes it
It's a love hate relationship
delta you cant say its a cakewalk just because it is for you, not all people are the same
Sounds less than ideal
But the only fix i found is to reboot and reconnect
its not a valid arguement
@twilit patio I had a a condition attached to it
oh i am good at this game so this game is easy, why you are not good either?
Thankfully i was in a bush but i got a blacked head and arm for it
First of all, calm down. You completely misread what I said
I have min time to game in my life atm. So i value fun more then anything right now
I am just exhausted by that arguement from experienced players trying to convince new players what the game has to offer
feeling bad when you lose a setup you just spent a hour building sucks. especially when you just get sniped by a thermal across the entire map
cant learn if you dont know how you died
While you may never find the game itself easy, it is easy to make money in the game once you understand how to. And once you realise this you'll become better at the game because you'll care less about losing gear
@twilit patio I simply said, this game is actually easy because literally everything is just locked behind a knowledge wall. Once you know, YOU KNOW.
Stop
The main point of the message is that it's a knowledge game and what new people are lacking that gets them killed so often is the knowledge and experience. You are not dying to gear or whatever. You are dying because you put yourself into bad positions. That part can be overcome with time and effort. You will learn the maps. You will learn what to loot, what to sell, what to keep, ammo to use, and where to expect people.
yes not dying from thermals and extremely good weapons and scopes that can overpower you in mili seconds
not at all
I mean it doesn't happen to me
Once that playing field is level then you may still get outshot or out maneuvered but you are on better footing.
Because I know how to play around it
And honestly, I think this thermal point is WAY overblown
Everyone immediately assume people are using thermals when they die
i am not saying you cant play around it, i am saying its not something its useful to say to a new player to convince him to stay in the game, thats all i am saying
It's very rare to run into people with thermals
So basically because you dont KNOW how to position yourself or KNOW where spawns are or KNOW where people path and camp or KNOW what what typically happens in a map is the reason you die?
best way to make money?

lvl 5
Interchange tech/hardware runs
Interchange or Shoreline caches are the easiest
It's very rare to run into people with thermals
yes so rare
I'm trying to save this guy from his mistake of giving up on a quality game for 45 because he hasnt turely experienced it
so just checkin computers
Honestly, yes. It is
isnβt the lab the best way?
whatever i am done with this, i disagree as a new player i am having really hard time doing anything in this game and having an experience player telling me that is easy its not helping, so later guys
No
@twilit patio The only way you can know someone has a thermal is if you kill them
@twilit patio that's literally everyone when they first start!
@twilit patio
Lmfao!
Labs cost almost 200K to get in..then you need to bring gear..then you need to survive and even then you have make more than 200K in loot to offset the cost of entry
He left discord
fuck
"I'm going to misread what everyone is saying because it fits my narrative"
so if i go interchange with a pistol i should be looking for pc components
You WILL. Get better as you get experienced
You can survive anything
Yes
You can do, or just run for loot spots
yeah i know
Best ammo for a MP7
PC in Oli and Goshan
I've pistol ran resort and gotten myself out of it
?
This is a niche game that just got a ton of popularity a lot of people are going to quit it is what it is
Pestily has a good loot run video on his youtube
!ballistics @wintry cliff
Sell it comparing flea prices to therapist and selling accordingly
!ballistics
tech stores in interchange?
Yeah
? @unique wolf
which side of the map
!ammo
Check Pestily's youtube video dude
idea?

nice
Goshan has PC's in the back middle
Jaegar's flash drive quest took me a month
and then as soon as I finished it
found like 3 more in raid within 2 hours
RNG knows what you need
Also the first tasks are fucking hard lol
Yes
But hard makes you feel accomplishment when you overcome
The tasks are hard, but really teach you the game
@runic imp are you quitter though? Is that how your momma raised you?
Lol wut
Everything in this game feels hard until it isn't
Lol I would rather spend my hour a day playing games be fun
@unique wolf That's what she said.
So if you are not having fun with a game you are a quitter?
It is fun. Once you know how to actually play it.
Yes
this is so not helping at all from you delta
Yea you guys are coming off as really sweaty tryhards right now
guys please
I donβt have the time to grind atm is what it is
I just don't get why anybody is in here expecting people to agree that the game sucks
I feel you spookybf
only reason i am coming full force is because i dislike deltas responses to new players
yeah me too
You donβt need to grind. Get a gun. Kill people.
Also the argument that you cannot do tasks because you are low level is not valid. I reset myself last wipe because it was 9 months between wipes. So here I am a level 1 doing tasks with crap gear against all the boys who didn't reset who were rocking top tier stuff. I managed to climb back up from 1 to 45 or so late late into wipe based upon Experience. You are not struggling just because of gear. You are struggling due to lack of experience.

playing four or five good matches and the night is gone
If you have tried playing it with a another fella, it becomes a bit more chill
Basically what I said just shorter
Yeah I do think it's a different game just having someone to talk to
@runic impyeah that's cool man
But it is a grind lol
Tell a new player tips to improve, not that the game is easy if you are experienced, that doesnt help at all, the point is mute, you have to offer them assistance and info not claim oh they game is gonna be easy dont worry about it, its not something that helps
Delta isn't the only one I see in the beginner channels with that attitude either
@twilit patio Delta never said the game was easy, he said there is a knowledge wall that once you're over it, it's easy
wtf is goin on here
and it 100% is
You only make the new players more angry, they want to put off their rage not have a veteran player call them too impatient to learn the game
Yes continue to twist and warp what I said
That's subjective though, if they truly believe that the best way for you to get over the game is to just play it until you're experienced he doesn't have to put sugar and rainbows on it for you
Literally offering no knowledge of tips apart from get gud
its not the first time i see what you said delta
And it may not be what you mean to say, Delta, but it is how it gets interpreted
Also what should i do with dog tags ?
just sell or ?
Yβall are fighting over semantics
semantics are part of the world
Well now I know what this chat is like so I guess I'll never come back bc this sure isn't helping me
Yeah striker, I would sell em to therapist. Eventually you need 10 of each for a quest, but beyond that they're just money
@twilit patio "I'm going to misread what everyone is saying because it fits my narrative"
Tips and info are dispensed regularly. I know what he meant. He meant that knowledge and experience go a long way to making the game "easier". It is a long process and takes effort/commitment. However if you want a casual game without investing time then this may not be your jam.
What you need help with primal
@zinc tendon this chat is very helpful, please dont leave, i just wanted to say a personal opinion, this chat is usually a goldmine for info
My bad for starting this just frustrated with a game thatβs not right for me atm
@zinc tendon What was your question man. This is just a discussion. It'll pass
Play the game, learn from your mistakes, watch and learn, think before you do, use YOUR situation to YOUR advantage, be aware of what you can do in given circumstances
I do enjoy watching. Streams of it tho!
what are the lebs red keycards used for and why are the 20 m
Itβs hard when you just die from no idea where
@runic imp it won't be for everyone sadly
Thereβs no learning in that
Opens a door in Labs with good loot in, they're extremely rare
Red card unlocks a locked room with high tier loot on the labs map
20 million tho lmfao
@frosty plinth it wouldnβt be good if it was
I have no idea where you have been, but I've been in here for nearly 2 months preaching all kinds of advice to new players to help progress and they literally pm me all the time and tell me how much it helped them. I was literally just responding to how someone thinking the game was difficult, which I never said it wasnt, I literally said it becomes easy when you actually figure out how to play. I can give PLENTY of advice on how to achieve that. But yes, go ahead, keep misconstruing what I originally said.
what you take away from that is be more aware
true true
Not worth the cost though as you'd need like 50+ runs to make up for it
I'm having the most trouble with map knowledge and the traders
Map knowledge, there's no better advice then just playing it and trying to pay attention to different landmarks and callouts to orient yourself
Running tasks has helped me learn the maps a lot
Map knowledge can be overcome running offline runs with PMC
@ primal https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Map_of_Tarkov try to spot the landmarks and orient yourself
It's like I'm dealing with a Karen who wants to see my manager and I'm the manager
Also headphones are OP π
Then practice offline with scavs on and try to make it from spawn to exit 50% of the time over 10 raids.
Be more aware of what? You canβt tell how far he was or how he could see you
Should I run thru maps offline or is it better to just play?
IF you can do that then you are doing well and can start working online
@zinc tendon absolutely learn then offline first
And where extracts are
You cant go wrong with that
Spooky, usually that just means you were in a bad spot. Ive started avoiding the spots where I get domed from who knows where
Map knowledge is step 1
And it's been happening less
Basically don't be predictable
Itβs just a grind
People are predictable
Map knowledge can be overcome running offline runs with PMC. Start by running around with no scavs on
just explore. Then practice offline with scavs on and try to make it from spawn to exit 50% of the time over 10 raids. IF you can do that then you are doing well and can start working online. @zinc tendon
like every game.... play it and youll get better at it
It's a mental grind not a need to grind money grind
I've played so many wipes I know how people path think or where typical camp spots are
Thanks
I never mind dying to a level 15 and under but hate when I get killed by a level 50 just chasing me across the entire map
Also what's some good cheap guns from lv 1 traders
For me what always helps, is to have an exit. If I know I properly cleared the way I came from, I can always fall back to a cheap spot and force the guy shooting to wait me out or push me
Like you see the gun I have, you know I have nothing lol
@zinc tendon unfortunately just the mosin and sks
hugging map walls and walking in the middle of the open isn't really gonna help ya much. I kill everybody because I know they'll try to headshot me if they have the chance
@runic imp thats when you drop all your gear in a hidden spot while running, that way if they chase and kill you they wasted time or if you get away from then you can run back and grab look
As for Traders selling progression to make most $ is Therapist>Skier>mechanic...then check Prapor>Ragman>Fence if none of the first 3 buy. ONce you get Flea market compare lowest price for that item on flea vs. the first 3 traders and sell accordingly. @zinc tendon
Once you're lvl 5 you can buy veprkms off market or loot them from scavs and use them . Really cheap rifle and more reliable than a pistol
They never take my stuff just my will to play lol
The game isn't built to be mastered in 2 weeks
^
lul
Not to the average joe anyway
i had aboiut $120k weapon, was in que for 16min and died to fully geared players in less then a min of match start
Lol so if I can play a hour a day the fun will start ina. Year or so?
just play offline and youll enjoy it @short ether
I mean the thing with struggling is that just surviving a raid becomes fun
^^
took me about 2 months playing 1hr a day to get to the point I was comfortably rolling and would faceup up anybody for the enjoyment of playing a game rather than worrying about going broke
im happy making it out with like 5 extra items worth %50k
like my survival rate is 40%
but usually if I survive a few raids in a row my stash takes a huge bump
and then I die a few times and it takes a hit, such is Tarkov
40% is fine
go out of your way to learn about the fine mechanics of the game and map orientations. Don't do the same thing over and over with failure and expect a different outcome
@runic imp a raid or two a day is plenty. Either scav on interchange or attempt customs quests. Keep chiseling at it till you learned from whatever mistakes that cause your death. Just take a minute to be like, okay, what could I have done wrong and what could have ei done better.
I think it's pretty good considering I started in December
and I've only played solo
This isn't a game that you are going to have a really high number. Also K/D means nothing
are streamers the only one with a 4x3 container?
Should I take out any armor with my PMC runs
I would Primal
If you want to survive scavs
once you know the maps
Yes
4x3 comes from doing all missionline quests
!wiki containers
^
need help pls
!wiki kappa
question of sicc container, if i die with it in my pouch do i lose all items in it?
Man they really need sbmm in this game
@violet coral what's up?
No Blainkit
press buttons and aim for heads hehe
#521628660298678283 and #news-setup so you can see all of Discord
Check out this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkpwFfAqV8Q
So I've put together a list of tips and useful information for people who are either starting out on EFT or are just looking to refine their skills.
Time Stamps
0:30 - Learn via Offline Mode
1:53 - Learning Maps + Player Counts
4:03 - Insurance
6:05 - Medical System
10:50 - ...
gotten kills but then perished kappa
Dying is a part of the learning process
@violet coral try to watch videoes about how to get started and tutorials ect
Remember that gunfire is loud, if you get into a fight, you need to get your stuff and get out quickly.
dying is part of the whole process xD
what happens when u run out of cash lol
I'd say most people survive 30-50% of their raids
I was about to say haha dying never stops, I was like 0/11 on interchange until I survived a few last night
Use scav runs
Play very safe, grab a bit of loot and get out. You should be able to get back in business quickly.
does anyone know if different silencers change the volume differently or is it just static across them all?
Is it better to loot your kill quickly and leave or retreat and come back to loot after the area settled down
how the fk do u know where to go
its never safe to loot
Scav runs are free gear and a risk free raid. Scav runs cost nothing.
I like to play PMC with only a pistol and a mag, kill 1 scav and grab their stuff. Extract quietly.
you just gotta go when you feel like its good to go
i suck with directions wiht a map
Primal that's something you'll get a feel fore as you play more
and without xD'
@long spear they are static and the suppressor itself doesn't add the sound affect
Experience. You need to play offline and explore
You know where to go through map knowledge and experience.
how do u get offline
It's an option when you are loading in.
Choose PMC. hit next...choose a map and time
I think the 2nd screen or something?
Choose Enable Offline Mode
@long spear it basically goes X gun got the y attachment, add the suppressed effect.
You do not lose your gear or keep any loot when playing Offline Mode. It is a great learning tool though
@steady pilot cool thx
You can disable/enable scavs too, you can improve your aim and awareness. Keep in mind, in offline you do not gain any XP or loot. But you get everything you had back.
At this time there is no volume difference vs subsonic or supersonic either
If you were curious
Does tagged and cursed mean scavs are drawn to you?
Yes
If you cannot make it from spawn to exfil in offline mode with scavs on normal 50% of the time out of 10 raids then you are not ready for online mode
Because online you will have to fight scavs, player scavs, and PMC
I wish they had multiplayer offline for walking people through maps >.>
I mean just have them come in naked and follow your lead
Agreed
@hasty silo They will do
For people hitting the wall though, we've all been there. It's what makes surviving a raid with 1M+ in loot so worth it, if it were easy it wouldn't be worth celebrating
I noticed something, at least on the EFT Reddit, people complain about player scavs killing other player scavs. I have yet to meet anyone who didn't shoot immediately lol
People were less KoS a few months ago. I think once the new wave of players becomes established and confident they'll be able to rack up 30m by the end of the wipe they'll care less about your 50k of loot and be more open to playing the game for fun and interesting experiences.
If a player scav looks at me im shooting him tbh
It depends what I have on me as a scav
Also that ^
if I have stuff worth keeping I'm killing everybody
but if I just have like an AK with shitty ammo I would rather try to gang up and take a PMC down
"try and gang up" now thats how I end up at the main menu lul
Can I have some help with this game? I'm not doing well at customs, but it's the map I know the best. Does anyone want to run together?
I just got one-tapped by a super geared players as my scav
my friends and i met a friendly scav, we had him lead into every door so he would die first hehe
Use what ya got, right?
id be down @bold kernel but im not the best, also i dont really like running customs too much
If you're learning customs, I might recommend staying clear of New Gas Station and Dorms. Stay low and keep moving.
Thanks, but where should I go? I have most of the maps, but heard factory was a nightmare.
@bold kernel Do #521628660298678283 and #news-setup so you can see all of Discord and use the voice channels
I'm lvl 10 and haven't touched anything but Customs, even if Customs isnt great money, its surely better money than being lost in another map. I'm not sure what I'm going to learn next TBH
As a scav have a goal. If the goal is loot then try to avoid PMC. Loot and leave.
Interchange should be next to learn
imo
anyoen watching lupo?
Shoreline is decent since it has a lot of caches...
INTENSE run
Thanks. When I scav, it's usually just to run to extract with what I have, and sell it so I can make some kind of money...
I guess I lied, I loaded 1 time as Scav into interchange. I've got some work to do lol
and I can't select english as my preferred language, I only see the second set of languages.
Not a bad plan Lion, you can even put down some scavs if you see they have a decent weapon. They wont shoot first so lining up a HS is pretty cake!
I have read, and accepted the rules.
Thanks Erodras, but it usually hasn't worked yet. I have been killed by unseen forces more than I can count, haha.
Customs can be a real pain because there's a couple pretty tight choke points. I feel you there.
Something to consider, there are a bunch of hidden caches in Customs, mostly out of the way of all the shenanigans. I think Pestily has a guide, not sure if I'm allowed to link here.
the one that has always killed me for sure is gas station, I always get pinned trying to go around it. Thankfully, I've only lost some cheap body armor and the mp5k
Does using a dot on a canted mount make you lose stamina more or accuracy? Itβs looks awkward the way my character turns the gun 45 degrees. Also whatβs the point of the canted fore grips or the fore grips that donβt go straight down?
I've have been killed more times than not going past Gas Station, now I typically cut across into the woods near the bus station.
Not bus station, the bus lot.
It's towards Dorms, but you should feel safer in those woods than if you are trying to hug the wall south of Gas Station.
you can jump at the shortcut from shipping yard
Thanks Erodras. Where should I go to ask if people would like to squad up?
and if you go the back way around warehouse 4 from old gas station, I find that's rarely contested
The only downside is that I can only type, and listen to voice chat while I'm at work.
what, you can jump shortcut without the key?
yeah, one car has the trunk open
Blue car onto the toilet
Don't you nee a certain amount of athletics or something to get over the razer wire? (whatever the skill is called.)
it's easier at strength 3, but I believe it's always doable
