how do i play offline?
bold kernel
can u play offline in this game ?
novel ridge
queue through as a PMC then check the offline option
swift sage
with your PMC, run through the menus until you see the checkbox for "enable offline mode"
novel ridge
you get nothing but it takes you through as if you do, including exp and healing and stuff
plucky burrow
yes, select your pmc keep clicking next and you will see a checkbox
bold kernel
okay
im not intrested then
hardcore pvp online gief
now to quests->
can i do quests as a scav?

you can get quest items, like collect a gas analyzer in a raid
assuming you make it

i want to get started, have the game made my character got my binds and sens all dialed in
i will literally pay for a tutor

So I'm making a buttload of money on reserve, even more than my resort runs. If I buy all keycards except red (can't afford it) will I likely make more money than on reserve?

You can hire a sherpa for free @random geyser in #sherpa-info or by typing !sherpa. Sherpas are players who help newbies and provide a free kit

Press f to pick up loot. You have to have enough spaces to hold it though

you were probably looking at a decoration, not actual loot

does plate carriers durability degrade after repairs?
lusty light
yes chell
plucky burrow
you know like just replace the plate to get it back to full durability
lusty light
cant replace yet
i heard people talk online about how it wouldnt be worth replacingp lates

plucky burrow
ah yeah im just curious
random geyser
i hit another sherpa up bc did not hear back all day
must be able to find someone half decent that will tutor me and i will pay for there time
restive ruin
whats the key to go prone and crawl
lusty light
X default
sherpas are volunteers so they probably cant respond immediately when you answer
with so many new players and so few vets who can/want to spare the time the wait time is probably tremendous
mint hawk
@random geyser usec is M4 and avs, bear is ak and Blackrock I believe

@naive atlas preference but technically tx-15 has same firerate if you have a fast click

If you still need help tomorrow, at like 7 on est

hazy stag
so in an online raid, does all the players spawn in at the same time and nobody joins the raid mid-game? im a little confused other than the difference between your main character and scavs
stark fable
Pmcs start at the same time
hasty silo
fisk, PMCs (should) all spawn at the beginning of a raid and player scavs spawn in during the raid, with a cutoff time so they don't spawn with 3 mins left in the match
stark fable
Scavs spawn throughout
hazy stag
so all PMCs spawn at the START but scavs start during but not towards the end?
stark fable
You can get delayed by loading in with a slow pc, but yes

You must know the map and know where to go. Typical mapflow is spawn in on one "side" and extract on the other

Yea you gonna need an external map for your first few times, so pull one up in a webbrowswr

Does Ammo sell to the vendor well? Or do I need to do auction for each one?

might as well get the exp while i do it

do u guys sell weapons to the traders or on the flea market?
bold kernel
I just go with whatever gives me the most money

@frosty crown if you have not reached the trader value for next level then focus that
mint hawk
Then depending on gun flea.. Might sometimes swap out handguard if I'm not lazy
lusty light
@river sigil viable as in top tier, no
but you can run ap-20 slugs or RIP rounds and still go to town on someone's legs
the vast majority of people will be rocking level 2->4 armor
lusty light
middle mouse button
drag medicine into your pocket/rig and press 4/5/6/7
it hotkeys it
or drag down to bar on bottom
also rebind your combat reload (usually double tapping r) to something else
it makes your regular reload faster

Does anyone know how to check what the various gun sights are zeroed to?
bold kernel
and can you adjust iron sights?
lusty light
i dont think can adjust iron
grave mirage
I have been so use to dying that I just completed a SCAV run and now I dont know what to do with all my loot
bold kernel
Page Up and Down will change zoom for scopes right?
grave mirage
SHould I sell or keep it and run PMC runs with it??
lusty light
@grave mirage depends on the loot
i would look up pestily's new player loadouts and buy those
restive ruin
do i keep hitting breach till the door breaks
bold kernel
so @lusty light how does sight zeroing work with Page Up / Down?
grave mirage
@lusty light Cool will do that thanks
mint hawk
@lusty light only the office in customs 
after you unlock initial door
bold kernel
does that work with optics only or a scope or both?
grave mirage
@lusty light Got a Fal.... sell or use??
limpid pendant
ive only found 2 doors that opened when using breach without a key
lusty light
it slaps but kicks hard without modifications
mint hawk
@grave mirage is on you.. M80 can kill easily
limpid pendant
both were wooden and both opened outwards
mint hawk
But base gun is heavy recoil
lusty light
i would rather you run a vepr hunter, same kill power, cheaper, and sounds scarier
grave mirage
@mint hawk Might be a good gun for me for Customs or shoreline to keep my distance?
mint hawk
@grave mirage with only Iron sights not really
limpid pendant
hows vpo stack up in the sniper game?
mint hawk
@limpid pendant
limpid pendant
is it a marksman?
mint hawk
Headshot or bust
lusty light
it is very good if you want to hunt some ducks
mint hawk
And pray for no helmet
lusty light
it is not so good if you are trying to take down a tank of a PMC
grave mirage
lol...
limpid pendant
i have an OP-sks but i lost my svd and dvl
lusty light
that said, with how cheap it is it is a reliable gun to have by your side as you explore
i wouldnt use it for runs you want to survive, however
limpid pendant
i need to clear up space anyway so if i die i die
mint hawk
@lusty light is my troll sniper gun.. When I'm too lazy to build a proper one. Only like 20k for 366 supressor
lusty light
mint hawk
@limpid pendant sell stuff you hoarder
bold kernel
I've been using AKM for early level runs, with PS ammo. Single shot works well for sniping and full auto is useful at close range. I don't see any reason to run any other gun early game. Thoughts?
lusty light
to be honest dead i do the same thing
yes merisi that is my favorite gun to run early/mid wipe
there are still good choices otherwise
but akm is solid
mint hawk
@bold kernel if you are happy with the gun there's no reason to change
For rate of fire is slow but caliber is decent
limpid pendant
i have an hk i looted that i probs wont bring out until i have some armor but the rest of my guns i just have as expendable practice
lusty light
hk's are pretty cheap
guns only get pricey if you mod them
but lightly modding to usable capability is budget friendly
limpid pendant
i mean it is modded to a point
bold kernel
SKS is too slow to reload and uses the same ammo. 5.45 just doesn't seem to be able to kill PMCs unless you get the jump on them.
lusty light
you can use sks mags
mint hawk
Any hk/M4 at 70 vertical is hell
lusty light
not internal
bold kernel
SKS mags yeah but not easy to find
mint hawk
Ammo is gone before you correct the recoil
limpid pendant
they arent expensive, mags are all pretty reasonably priced
lusty light
the ironsights sucks
limpid pendant
oh kill some scaves and extract, do that twice and youd probably hit 5
bold kernel
I find ADS blocks a lot of the image
mint hawk
Tasks are very important for early levels
bold kernel
and AKM has full auto when you need it, whereas with SKS you're stuck with 20 rounds max from what i have seen
and semi
I have also found decent mods for AKM early game to reduce recoil and some decent optics
restive ruin
where do i buy insurance at
bold kernel
so still have not found anything superior to AKM for early game (IMO)
restive ruin
prapor ok
atomic knoll
Vepr km
bold kernel
Vepr = single shot
atomic knoll
Cause it's basically the same thing but semi auto
bold kernel
you need full auto in a pinch / indoors
atomic knoll
It's half the cost of akm tho
bold kernel
AKM = 3 x Tsushonkas
fallen crane
click quick lol
atomic knoll
And 1 costs like 13k
bold kernel
the benefit of full auto with the AKM is that you aim centre mass, pull the trigger and walk rounds into the face
i've killed some geared PMCs like that
bold kernel
whereas with Vepr they always seem to get you in the head before you can kill them
(close range)
mid / long range Vepr is just like AKM
(KM)
atomic knoll
For around the same price, you could get the m4
bold kernel
sure but I can't buy the M4 early game
bold kernel
and M4 ammo is $$$
fallen crane
yeah 7.62 is affordable
mint hawk
70 recoil M4? Nah fam
atomic knoll
adar with with m4 receiver

bold kernel
Mosin is very good

tell me of this other fps where you cant get oneshot
does it exist
anyway scav life is hard. gives false sense of security when there is none

@visual orbit therees a learning curve
visual orbit
not really a strong support to argue against this broken pvp to really what im pointing out but okay
visual orbit
like, how can i shoot at someone, hit them a bunch of times, and then die to one shot, EVERY TIME
plucky reef
because you miss and use shit ammo
naive atlas
armor, what ammo is used, where you hit them
visual orbit
I'm not missing mate, and my ammo LUL
got the best ammo
this game lags mid battle and i just die
shit fps
plucky reef
what is best ammo and what gun?
scav rarely spawn with best ammo so you are just bullshitting
naive atlas
scav with hunter spawns with fmj or m80 i think
visual orbit
fuck you dude
what ever
it's like the same ammo if im right in front of you
hit dude a bunch and i just die
plucky reef
well you apparently hit both his arms or legs

@visual orbit armor means a lot in this game

and he can still one tap, okay, great, confirms why this is a bad game

When the enemy is aiming at you, his hands are in front of his thorax

how do i die instantly, but my friend survives twelve shots no armor

i play bad?

it's either you are just had bad run and blame on the game
visual orbit
if i headshot someone they should die
tight junco
@hushed furnace thanks
bronze ice
🤷
wind folio
or you have latency/desync
visual orbit
doesn't ever happen

which makes your shot miss
plucky reef
@visual orbit maybe get your eyes checked out, you are 100% not hitting headshots
stuck dagger
lol thecleaniness a poor noob getting rekt by scavs 🙂
bronze ice
Yeah, you can headshot with a pistol and they'll die without a faceshield
visual orbit
eyes are great buddy, 20/20 in both
mint hawk
Any gun one tap face
bronze ice
Yeah, I meant that even nerf guns one tap
visual orbit
scavs dont die
bronze ice
mint hawk
@visual orbit either you had serious lag or you completely missed
visual orbit
i'll hit a naked scav wearing a cap and he'll take three shots to the head turn and one tap me
bronze ice
Yeah, if it was that bad for the rest of us, we wouldn't be playing 
plucky reef
He probably sniped 200m with 20m zero

Plus if you shooting the face and scav ain't moving.. It's lag

your aim was probably a bit off then mate

the scav run was recent

If the scav just stands still, ignore him

ignore him as PMC when that's my only way to advance?

nope, not working
atomic knoll
I once had this happen - shotgun to the face but scav did not die. When I extracted, game register the scav as killed
bronze ice
Yeah, he shouldn't shoot back
kind turtle
really weird
limpid pendant
probably was just desync, if he didnt shoot back why even waste the ammo
mint hawk
@visual orbit you must just be the unluckiest person in eft dude coz all scav drop one shot
visual orbit
i shot this scav 6 times (ak 7.62x39 mm BP) halo scope, ~20-30m
took time on all shots
held breath
saw him take the shot
went through him
plucky reef
lol
visual orbit
then the 7th one kills him
plucky reef
what zero
bronze ice
I popped a mag+ into a scav's head 1-2m away using a saiga with buckshot
he wasn't shooting back tho
This seems really rare though
paper ruin
is the scav AI that killed you a completely separate scav or the same one?
bronze ice
and might be exclusive to specific configurations ISP/Server/etc
At that location, might as well be a separate one
visual orbit
idk, died to thorax faster than i could ads
bronze ice
with so many spawns nearby
visual orbit
one tapped
had scav name
idk, bought this game for a friend
that's why im so frsutrated
he does better in gun fights and tanks awaaay more

survives 35 percent of his raids
im dying in every one with 15 percent over 200 raids

what map?

you sure to go for the class 3?
plucky reef
network issues fixed btw?

what is the most realistic supressed option for a new player?
plucky reef
or still can get authorization issue and lose shit
amber saffron
will it save me more, in place of the class 4? due to higher hitpoints

@mossy meadow what do you mean?

@mossy meadow aks are fairly cheap and supressable, they pop up commonly on scav runs too

@amber saffron against scavs and lower tier ammo sure

@plucky reef alright, assuming the price is same. would you still recommend the same?
plucky reef
@mossy meadow then don't use it? anyway vepr 136 got a suppressor for like 30k

the saiga is really low damage though
mossy meadow
i have problems with ambushes after dealing with scavs

alright thank you!

mostly i just need to pick up scavs without other people noticing
thanks @bronze ice
ill try it

how much of an disadvantage would i be against players?
west python
Saiga's damage doesn't seem all that bad in my limited experience
mossy meadow
i can also toss a vityas into bag, when i pickup some weps. hm.
what ammo for saiga?
plucky reef
@amber saffron depends on ammo, many use best ammo so tier 4 armor mathers not really

@limpid pendant
The 215 is zero'd for the EKO rounds, if you use anything else you will have to factor in the change in velocity
limpid pendant
i was using whatever the yellow tips are but i was also reaaaaly far away

with the eko rounds, the rifle doesn't really have all that much drop since flight path is based on MV alone ( I am 98% sure of that)

When #sherpa-info says "help with In Game Info", how far does that go? I'm a little lost with this game, was hoping to have someone to play with, show me the ropes
reef spoke
Yep
you were using projectiles with like 500ms , when the gun is zero'd for 840 MS
One sec , I got a short vid demonstrating
limpid pendant
someone also said the mv stat on the gun changes based on ammo in it when you inspect
plucky reef
@amber saffron if you play sneaky and by sound you got higher chances, 100% more than by wearing armour
imo
reef spoke
@limpid pendant Yep that is 100% true
because the ammo defines the MV mostly
guess I need to go make an 215 vid to keep handy
Here is a visual with the VSS
Range is just over 100m, but I held the same line across, held breath, and fired
we can see that the impacts corrispond with MV
limpid pendant
it makes sense
limpid pendant
whats your longest headshot at this point
amber saffron
@plucky reef aight thanks a lot, i always wear a headset so that should work well for me
thanks a lot for the help!
limpid pendant
ive got 263m but i havent had a real scope yet
reef spoke
This wipe? Only 650 something cus I've not really bothered setting up for longer
limpid pendant
thats still crazy
restive ruin
how do i lower the cooldown on scav runs
limpid pendant
upgrade hideout
heater increases energy regen, water collector for water and medbay for health
later down the line the intel upgrade shaves 15% off scav times
limpid pendant
also i answered for pmc first because im dumb
scav runs just needs the intel center
restive ruin
idk how to build that
reef spoke
Boop
shadow helm
looking for someone to play with and to teach me NA mic a exprinced player
limpid pendant
i wish i had a nice scope with fancy ticks
all ive used is the 4x variable and the baseline one that goes on the vpo
reef spoke
@limpid pendant have you tried the 1p59 or Vudu yet? Both will fit on the VPO
restive ruin
how do you tell diff between PMC and scav easy
reef spoke
@restive ruin before or after you kill them?
limpid pendant
i just dont have the dosh to buy sights so iv only used what ive found
restive ruin
either i guess
civic parrot
Anyone semi-experience looking to help a noob learn to play? Keep getting destroyed, ingame LFG just results in a spawn then an immediate TK
plucky reef
movement @restive ruin
reef spoke
@limpid pendant what level are you? I'll send you some
restive ruin
uh ohy my game starting
plucky reef
are u pmc @restive ruin? just kill everything then
reef spoke
If they are dead. Players will have a secure container slot. AI will not.
Otherwise PMC will have diffrent clothing, but to tell AI from players, movement a lot of the time.
limpid pendant
im only lvl 8 lol i feel like i need to get a foothold before i start actually investing into the pmc items i run with
vernal anchor
Movement is a big one
sand apex
@devout fulcrum player scavs can have multiple weapons, also certain boss posse scavs can have multiple weapons
limpid pendant
scavs typically dont turn with their guns unless someone is near them, most times they just free look
devout fulcrum
true ark
reef spoke
they do
sand apex
but dead pmc will have an unlootable melee weapon
fallen crane
top left
reef spoke
@restive ruin upper left near the purple arrow
sand apex
unless they happened not to have a melee weapon
reef spoke
near the "swamp" tag
restive ruin
wats more valuable gunpowder or bolts
sand apex
blue gunpowder and bolts are about the same
other gunpowders are worth more
bolts are 1 slot though so better than a blue powder per slot
bold kernel
Where do u think bolts can be found?
or can be made maybe.. i dnt think so or yes?
Thanks
restive ruin
if its not red its not open?
sand apex
rock passage is not guaranteed (that's what the ??:??:?? means next to it)
no way to tell if its open without going there
if it's open there's usually green smoke near it
fallen crane
if there is green smoke then its open
sand apex
there is
bold kernel
Thanks
fickle kettle
ah
bold kernel
Yes true
I had never had smoke
But once I saw it in Old gas station
Recently
I can confirm (double on that)
sand apex
yeah it was fixed in a somewhat recent patch I think
bold kernel
That freaking station btw has sometimes back extract sometime inside and it can get really expensive (death) if u try one and not the correct one and u have like 10 seconds...
sand apex
inside is for PMC, back is for scav
sand apex
it's the only extract I know of that shared by pmc and scav but where the exact location is slightly different
bold kernel
see u thanks all
LOOOK at that image in the tarkov discord
Is that some "bank" ?
baaaaank...
golden geyser
Is there a way to avoid upgrades in Hideout to take the ones I need for a quest?
I wish there was an option to lock items or containers that hold certain items 😭
fickle kettle
sadly no
fickle kettle
flash dive ?
atomic knoll
Just use it man. You can always buy it
fickle kettle
"find in raid"
atomic knoll
You can always find it again then
atomic knoll
Oli spawns em pretty consistently
And I believe you just need to hand in 1 which you actually find
The rest could be bought off flea
fickle kettle
so you need the car battery ?
eager arrow
anyone know an accurate ammo chart? every one i look at is different than another
golden geyser
I got 2 already found in raid, just gotta get to that quest so I can hand it in
lol the wiki

atomic knoll
Same thing occurred for me for the flash drive quest and the gas analyzer quest
tribal cove
Can someone share some good nvidia filter settings? But nothing overdone. I want the game to still look good
atomic knoll
I just handed a copy and the rest could be bought
golden geyser
Was most likely a bug
fickle kettle
cause if i remember you can craft 4 car battery in the work bench
and they count as find in raid
golden geyser
Yeah you can, buy tank battery
fickle kettle
i can test that out
golden geyser
and they do, but I'd rather just stick with what I've already found
atomic knoll
Hmm I handed in 2 quests this way though
fickle kettle
the hard way isee 
limpid pendant
its a key for interchange theres a store called OLI and it opens an office room there
tribal cove
I found a MES key. Does the room it opens on interchang have fat loot?
sand apex
I'm not familiar with that one
oh
emercom key
it's all medical loot
maybe a couple tech spawns
you do need it for a quest though
tribal cove
Oke, i ll keep it
sand apex
I've heard rumors you can find ledx in there but I don't know if that's true
tribal cove
Niiice. That is like 1.2 mil
bold kernel
Game needs to have Interchange cleaned in the back.,..
U can't have ambush ppl waiting for you outside and blocking exits ahahah it's just trash.. ok everybody goes there fights and then gets it cleaned... what is this trash.. at least do it for some time but leave the it open in the last minute\ second.
vernal anchor
If people are always there then just shoot them before you extract
rapid panther
hi, I was just wondering, if I buy the standard edition and plan to upgrade in the future, will it cost a reduced fee or will I essentially pay the same price as the two combined?
limpid pendant
from what i heard you just pay the difference to upgrade, and the upgrade wipes your character and hideout but you get to pick when to wipe to get the perks
rapid panther
k, ty
gilded tapir
If i bought the game now (beta version) will I have access to it on full-release? or will I have to re-buy it?
bronze ice
Are you sure it wipes?
I heard some guy mention you get the extra stuff in a message
tribal cove
Yea, thats what I heard too. You get a message from system with all the loot and you can add it to ur stash
@gilded tapir nop
gilded tapir
nop to the re-buy? 😅
bold kernel
@vernal anchor ... come on
u can't see ppl in bushes.. there are techniques to make them come out etc.. but it's just ridiculous.. that's why some bring thermal.. because they just can do it otherwise.. because it's indeed hard
tribal cove
You dont have to buy the game again. Ur safe
bold kernel
1 minute before extraction u cannot wait there.. it's like super greed noobish... no honor.
atomic knoll
I usually extract with like 10 seconds left lol
tribal cove
Np
bold kernel
Its' creat also to shoot these bstrdds in the back
great time to extract Ne
Yes I am.
atomic knoll
Been working for me so far
bold kernel
Lurid noobs..
bronze ice
I mean "camping" is the best strategy in the game
atomic knoll
And I'm greedy af
bold kernel
camping is not camping
atomic knoll
So loot everything
bold kernel
it's ambushing
but waiting somebody in a place.. because u know there is one extraction.. it's ridiculous
Luckly it was a scav run for me
bronze ice
How so
bronze ice
If they know you'll have loot
bold kernel
anyway i dnt care since the game resets etc
bronze ice
🤷
bold kernel
For the relesase Devs need to put at least one more extraction.. by chopper or something
tribal cove
I usually end up in opposite from the exfil and in the last 15 min I panic and run to it
bold kernel
they need to make another dungeon extraction in interchange or perimetral
atomic knoll
Allow scavs to extract via power plant lol?
bold kernel
I dnt panic.. it's just silly to ahve a guy with a silencer hiding in the bushes outside the ramp
at 1.20 secs to end.. first time i see this.. means ppl are really anxious about loot ... kiddos..
2 months and all these "efforts" are deleted .. it's like tomorrow
Will never do that trash..
however I am just signalling whatch out of Goshan ramp, on the right side of it behind some trees ..and fallen containers. Even in the last seconds.. watch these people disengaging their ambush position and shoot their kiddo bum bum like an emmental...
I will be hunting ambusher to open the interchange extraction if I have to do so... TO open it to strangers..
vernal anchor

How to actually setup the TAUNTS?

Is the launcher for the game working?
twilit patio
yeah sadly its not easy to figure it out lol
white horizon
soooo I need super veteran insight
I heard from a friend, who said he heard from a video of tweaks, that hideouts don't get wiped. is this true? also what else doesn't get wiped? o-o
twilit patio
if they dont that will be amazing but i dont see how they will leave them outside of wipe
white horizon
a quick google search mentioned some things don't like skill points and weapon mastery
twilit patio
that would be so g ood
worldly rivet
gifts dont get wiped, and per-edition starter sets
everything else gets wiped
everything.
twilit patio
yeah but we dont know that yet, for example the hideout stash etc, its not confirmed is it?
worldly rivet
the hideout stash does get wiped
twilit patio
like official reply
white horizon
that's why I was curious, i questioned by mentioning. isn't this the first time the hideout has been through a wipe
worldly rivet
you dont get the keep the big stash
white horizon
so wouldn't tweak not know?
twilit patio
what is your source vynnir?
that would be amazing info if there was an official word in the hideout stuff/wipe thing
white horizon
I'm just curious cause if this is the hideout's first wipe, we wouldn't know but I don't know this cause I'm obv new xD
twilit patio
i have never hard anyone saying for sure, most that probably
maybe even the devs havent decided yet
if we keep the hideout stuff it will make the wipe so less ''punishing''
wide vector
It's progression and thus a reason to play the game, it'll get wiped.
twilit patio
yeah but its the first time hideout wipe happens right?
maybe they will let us keep some stuff? like the stash upgrade?
wide vector
Nah. It encourages people to buy the upgrades
white horizon
skills are progression too, and those have been spared a wipe before.
stone surge
Hideout = items
white horizon
according to a quick google search, but that was a year ago.
twilit patio
it doesnt make sense not to wipe everything
stone surge
hideout contains all my graphics cards, wouldnt make sense i get to keep those
twilit patio
the stash size man not the items
white horizon
the way they phrased it, was that sometimes devs decide what doesn't get wiped= nature of the wipe.
twilit patio
why not
stone surge
because it requires other hideout stuff
twilit patio
leave the stash upgrade out of the wipe
wide vector
Some things might survive in between Beta patches, but before release
stone surge
but you need other hideout upgrades
to upgrade stash...
this is such a "specific" target
twilit patio
oh so it kinda breaks the hideout progression
twilit patio
do EOD accounts upgrade their stash as well?
restive ruin
if you play as a scav are scav bosses friendly
white horizon
bosses KoS, guards vary.
stone surge
i've seen reports that in reserve some raiders dont kill scav players
but seems like a bug
more than intentional
white horizon
guards of Rashala will yell at you in warning for like 2 secs before firing
stone surge
"Enemy spotted"
white horizon
if boss sees you first, theye all kos.
twilit patio
but if only a guard sees you it will give you a small warning?
mossy jungle
its pretty obvious hideouts gonna be wiped, anything economy gets wiped and hideout is a big drive for economy
stone surge
Also, don't peek with your head after they "warned" you, they'll instant headshot you
just peek with full body if you really want to peek
white horizon
somewhat, there have been guards that just yell at you for awhile basically "gtfo this is X property"

if an item doesnt sell in the item shop after 12 hours do you get it back

@worldly rivet uh.. Liar
Tri-zip or beta2
But scavbp/berkut is big enough for a folded stock suppressed weapon
tribal cove
@amber saffron i never use them tbh. They are not good at keeping you hidden
stone surge
Tri-zip is like best value backpack imo
stone surge
beta only worth it if you expect you get an attack backpack on the way
such as in labs
for more free slots
mint hawk
@tribal cove not to mention movement speed penalty
tribal cove
Yea. That too
amber saffron
how often do you get it back from insurance?
mint hawk
I think there is an easy trade for the Tri-zip
amber saffron
yeah
stone surge
or so
amber saffron
o that’s nice
stone surge
but it depends
i mean, if you die to scav players
they'll steal it
but 90% of the time I die vs geared players
and they cba about tri-zip
mint hawk
I stack scavbp though
stone surge
See it this way
amber saffron
if you die to scav players you probably shouldn’t run a backpack 
stone surge
Scav bp is ~15k-ish
tri-zip is about 35k
if your scav bp is full
and you have to drop stuff to fit other stuff in
or you dont loot an item
= money lost
the 20k is easily earned back with just finding 1 item
amber saffron
how geared would you find players on interchange/customs?
stone surge
whether it's a bolt or a screw nut
tribal cove
I have like 20 stacked berkut bp and I will sell them all and get trizips
stone surge
berkut = 20k
tri-zip = 35k
it's such a small difference honestly
for quite a lot more slots
mint hawk
@amber saffron customs are THICC boys and also pistoling
stone surge
and beta is basically the same as tri-zip but it's smaller
bold kernel
Hello
stone surge
so it's nice if you can fit it inside a bigger backpack
