[undone laurel]

ok, another question. should i always be "crafting' certain things in my hideout? like should i always be doign the power cord -> wires?

[bold kernel]

but what if i keep looting same shit as i have now, is a lot of stash space so important?

[mint hawk]

@undone laurel depends on what you need.. Also check prices of the 2 items to see if it's worth it

[sour plume]

check prices on certain crafts to see if you can make a profit, but pretty much all the crafting stations have something profitable you can do, and you can turn your empty blue fuel cans into mag cases later for fat profit, so yes

[sly warren]

How do I get the Front Sight off my ADAR? It says if I remove it the Gas Stock wont work?

[novel ridge]

just dump all of your junk to whatever trader you need to up, if you need money, sell individual items on flea

[sour plume]

i think the default m4/adar gas block is a front sight, you'd have to remove it and replace it with an actual gas block

[sly warren]

I dont see any for sale that "linked" works too

[sour plume]

i have no idea what linked search even does tbh

[novel ridge]

only items that are compatible

[sour plume]

ah ic

[novel ridge]

ammo, mags, mods, whatever

[sour plume]

i dont think it'll show items that you haven't yet identified

unsure

[novel ridge]

i think it does, lemme go check

[half jackal]

it does

linked search is the best feature in this game

[sour plume]

Time to abuse self

[half jackal]

want to know what dust covers are compatible? linked search
want to know what mounts go on the cover? linked search
want to know which stock is compatible with your buffer tube/lock? linked search

huh? want to know what muzzle devices go on your barrel? or perhaps what silencer attaches to this flash hider?

or maybe what gear mounts on this helmet?

or perhaps... what sight can fit in this mount you're thinking of using

[sour plume]

@sly warren these are gas blocks you can put on the adar

[half jackal]

use mk12

[sour plume]

the default/stock one is the M4 front sight

so if you want to take it off you need to put in a new gas block, like the mk12

then the front of your adar will look like this

[sly warren]

Thanks!

[half jackal]

more expensive

[bold kernel]

why do vendors have some timers that are ticking

[half jackal]

refresh stock

[bold kernel]

cant i use some vendors when the time expires

oh

[half jackal]

its a global stock

so

[bold kernel]

oh

[half jackal]

if its popular day time - some things go oos

[sour plume]

[bold kernel]

should i sell these guns to vendors

the ones that i dont use

and which ones should i use

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/521626362251837451/667605668596940820/whattosell.jpg

[sour plume]

it's honestly up to you what you want to use, guns are typically personal preference

[bold kernel]

well

i like ak's

and that sa-58

and sv98

[sour plume]

a lot of people will probably tell you immediately to sell the saiga but ap20 slugs can potentially punch through class 4 and are an instant kill to chest if they do, and rip slugs are guaranteed 2 shot kill to legs

[bold kernel]

shotguns can be cool too but have disapointted me in pvp

😮

are slugs expensive then?

[sour plume]

somewhat

[bold kernel]

do they shoot far distances?

[atomic knoll]

around 300m

[bold kernel]

300m lethal?

[atomic knoll]

Yes

[bold kernel]

zomg

well

[bold kernel]

should i sell the guns that i dont use to vendors or flea market

[atomic knoll]

Exactly what I wanted to say

The ammo

[sour plume]

disassemble them and sell the parts you can to skier and the rest to mechanic

do that until you no longer need to spend money on them to level them up and then do the same for prapor/jaeger/peacekeeper

maybe do peacekeeper first since he's the first trader you can get to lvl 2

iirc

[bold kernel]

what

what levels

do vendors have levels

??

[sour plume]

yes

[bold kernel]

😄

how do i get levels on vendors

buying shit?

[sour plume]

you can see at the top right, "current attitude" shows your current level with them/standing/money spent, "next loyalty level" shows what you need to level them up

so your pmc level, standing and money spent

[sly warren]

How much is a "budget" built ADAR?

[fathom barn]

probably just the price of a sight and ammo lol

[atomic knoll]

60kish?

[bold kernel]

prapor spent 91k therapist spent 150k

[atomic knoll]

But not worth it as good ammo are expensive

[sour plume]

the gun + a sight and mags pretty much

[atomic knoll]

For ADAR

[bold kernel]

@sour plume what did i get for those moneys spent on them lol

[sour plume]

semi auto means you don't really need to do much with the recoil to make the adar good

[fathom barn]

anything you buy OR sell to traders effects the "spent" catagory

[sour plume]

oh

you get vendor levels by fulfilling the requirements to get to the next level like i said earlier

if you mean rep/standing/whatever, you get that by doing tasks for them

[atomic knoll]

Just get the levels first

Spending should be the easiest imo

[bold kernel]

next loyalty level 1m???

so i need to spend 1m to gain a level?

[atomic knoll]

No

Buying & selling

[bold kernel]

whattzdsdsad

[sour plume]

selling stuff to them counts towards the money spent

[atomic knoll]

both ways counts towards the total

[bold kernel]

ok

so i need to make trade for 1m?

[sour plume]

you need to sell and buy 1mil worth of stuff to them

not at once

[bold kernel]

hmm

[atomic knoll]

Which is easy

[bold kernel]

yeah but sounds a lot

[sour plume]

it adds up over time

[atomic knoll]

Just buy something and sell it to them

[bold kernel]

sure

[sour plume]

it's not, it really isn't

[atomic knoll]

You make a small loss each time

[sour plume]

and if you want to, you can spend a bit of extra money to cheese it by doing that, just buying something from them and selling it back

[atomic knoll]

That's what I did

[sour plume]

i did that earlier on as well

[atomic knoll]

Took me 15 mins to raise mechanic from 0 to 1m spent

[fathom barn]

for ragman i just camped the flea market for good deals on broken armor and repaired them.

cause everything he sells is kinda whack at level 1

[bold kernel]

is adar 2-15 any good?

it feels like a bb gun

[lusty light]

yes its pretty damn good

[bold kernel]

define, what is pretty damn good

it looks funny aswell

[atomic knoll]

It is good with the right ammo

[lusty light]

anything that kills shit is good

so ammo over everything

[atomic knoll]

It sucks big time without the right ammo

Same applies to every gun in tarkov

[bold kernel]

which ammo may i ask

[atomic knoll]

How would I know which ammo you were using?

???

[lusty light]

m855a1/m995

[bold kernel]

i got 556x45 nato i think on it

[lusty light]

use those

yeah thats the caliber

[bold kernel]

oh

[lusty light]

but there are ammo types

[bold kernel]

oh

m855?

[atomic knoll]

I would suggest going for the AKs actually. Especially the 7.62x39 calibur AKs

[lusty light]

m855a1

not m855

[bold kernel]

😄

[atomic knoll]

The good ammo are not cheap

[lusty light]

m855 is pea shooter rounds

aks are pricey too

[atomic knoll]

Around 300 each

[lusty light]

5.45 good ammos are pricey

[atomic knoll]

Nope. 7.62x39 PS ammo costs less then 100 per ammo

[bold kernel]

should i even use good ammo as a newbie?

if i die and lose everything

[atomic knoll]

Yes.

If you wanna kill something

[lusty light]

thing is 7.62 aks are more mod price reliant

[bold kernel]

😄

[sour plume]

it's up to you, depends on if you actually want to try killing players or not

[bold kernel]

well makes me wonder sometimes that i shoot full clips at enemy they turn around and shoot me 2 times and i die

[atomic knoll]

Nope. Just get a lightly mod-ed Vepr KM

[bold kernel]

they use good ammo?

[sour plume]

if you go out of your way to avoid pvp then good ammo doesn't really do much

[atomic knoll]

And it works beautifully

[sour plume]

either they're using good ammo or you have bad armor

[bold kernel]

i run into pvp

(sneak)

[sour plume]

it happens

[bold kernel]

well i have bad armor and they have good ammo i suppose

[sour plume]

with an adar though it's semi auto so you aren't really going to be spraying, you can probably get away with using m855a1 without spending too much

[bold kernel]

should i always buy armor if i dont have one on pmc?

[sour plume]

if you don't want to randomly get 1tapped by a shotgun scav then yeah, might be a good idea

[bold kernel]

first 10 raids i went with only pistol and 2 magazines

😄

[atomic knoll]

The Vepr KM is semi auto too?

And it's cheaper?

Ammo wise

Mods costs about the same

[bold kernel]

i just demolished my vepr km

[atomic knoll]

It's one of the best starter guns

With great ammo

[bold kernel]

really

[atomic knoll]

Yeah. Would recommend that over the SKS

[bold kernel]

i just disassembled it and sold it

lol

[atomic knoll]

Don't worry bout it. It's pretty common

[bold kernel]

didnt sell mags or ammo tho

[atomic knoll]

Most players don't even bother picking it up

[bold kernel]

mmkay

[atomic knoll]

So if you insure it, you would probably get it back

[frosty crown]

how much does a tank battery sell for?

[atomic knoll]

https://eft-loot.com/

Around 200k iirc

[tribal cove]

Around 200k

[plucky burrow]

sometimes i look at the pic, i though he have a huge balsack

[tribal cove]

I always see that

[bold kernel]

how much does insurance cost

how much does insurance cost

[plucky burrow]

depends on the item

[atomic knoll]

Depends on your choice of vendor and item

Always insure your items

No matter the cost. Getting back your items is a good investment

[sour plume]

7.62x39 BP is a bit more expensive than m855a1, but will get through class 5 armor more reliably. up to you which you want really

[bold kernel]

oh

can i insure all my items

[sour plume]

vepr is cheaper as well but has a good bit more recoil

[bold kernel]

like

for under 10k?

hmm

how long does the insurance last

[atomic knoll]

Semi auto so it doesn't matter

[bold kernel]

1match?

[sour plume]

permanent i think

[atomic knoll]

Until you die

[bold kernel]

😄

oh

cool

[atomic knoll]

Like how real life insurance works

[marble cliff]

level 4 noob looking for people to play with and hopefully show me the way

[bold kernel]

lol

it takes some time to get the items back

funny but cool system

this game is getting more and more intresting

so many features in it

features within features

[atomic knoll]

It's a game within a game

Enjoy tetris

[bold kernel]

oh yea

[cursive birch]

Are servers still having issues

[bold kernel]

ive been wanting to go and just raid but i kinda have to study this game once in a while and keep a break from raiding lol

[whole skiff]

I would also like for someone to teach me the way if possible, lol. Just got it.

[atomic knoll]

Try and get a sherpa?

Though they might be overloaded now

check out #sherpa-info

[sour plume]

huh. the wiki says blacked legs distribute damage at a 1:1 rate, but this unofficial handbook says legs are the same as arms, at a 70% damage distributed

[sick rock]

@here can anyone help a newbie? looking for someone to help with my first raid

[restive ruin]

do you not drop weapon in your melee slot on death?

[atomic knoll]

No you don't

[restive ruin]

what about pistol?

[sour bronze]

yes

[atomic knoll]

@sick rock #news-setup #521628660298678283 so that you can see the looking for groups

[restive ruin]

i tried stabbing a scav with knife and i stabbed him 4 times

and he just did nothing and then shoot me

[atomic knoll]

Knife damage is horrible in this game

The starting knife which they give you

[restive ruin]

which is the best melee weapon

or good effective one

[plucky burrow]

tactical sword

[open flower]

i inspected a shotgun and the inspect screen got stuck on my screen all the way until the scav loot transer where the franser didnt show up

[restive ruin]

i looked at list of melee weapns and they all too hard to get

i need easy one to find

[open flower]

i closed tarkov and reopened it and i lost all the stuff i got

can i fix that somehow or just suffer

[atomic knoll]

Or you know, don't use melee weapons?

[bold kernel]

in the flea market what is the true price of the item

it says Approx. *****

is that the price?

i dont get it

[trim mauve]

why cant I extract from customs as a scav?

None of the extraction points work

[undone laurel]

can you put a sight on the vepr hunter?

[sick rock]

@atomic knoll dont see a lfg section or mention in rules

[atomic knoll]

Acknowledged?

[bold kernel]

do i sell items with price based on avg. price at eft-loot.com or what

on flea market

[atomic knoll]

Up to you

You are the seller after all

[bold kernel]

yeah but

flea market tells other avg. prices than that website

[humble thorn]

Can i get this rep without doing the quesT?

[atomic knoll]

That's what other's are selling for

No. Just do the quest?

[humble thorn]

im just asking haha. I hate interchange 😂

[bold kernel]

is that the price?

483?

[atomic knoll]

Click on settings > remove barter trades

[humble thorn]

no that price is very inaccurate. ignore it

[bold kernel]

wat

[humble thorn]

barter means you need to trade items for those

eg for that to buy it you need an alyonka

[bold kernel]

ohhhhhhhhh

now i seeee

[atomic knoll]

Player barters are usually a scam

Don't bother with it

[bold kernel]

what is bartering offers anyway

how do they work

[humble thorn]

you trade items instead of cash

some vendors have it for certain items

barter is fancy item for swap

[bold kernel]

okay

is that guy selling his hard drives for 9k less cheaper than other dudes?

[swift sage]

If my scav shows a certain loadout, will it remain that loadout until I log out, or will it switch if I do a PMC run and come back?

[atomic knoll]

Yes@bold kernel

[bold kernel]

so hes up to make quick money

[humble thorn]

Or a new player that doesn't know what they doing haha

[bold kernel]

do people even buy hard drives

[humble thorn]

Prob just put a random price

[atomic knoll]

@swift sage It remains until you load into the scav

[bold kernel]

so should i buy those hard drives from him and sell them for like, 8k? 😄

good business opportunity?

[atomic knoll]

No

[swift sage]

@atomic knoll Thanks

[humble thorn]

There's a few too. Not worth

[bold kernel]

should i even bother trying to sell my hard drives in flea

[atomic knoll]

Yes

They are practically useless

[bold kernel]

yes no?

[atomic knoll]

And you could always buy them again if you need it

[humble thorn]

Just sell them to vendors imo. Flea market takes to long for such low value

[bold kernel]

so

vendor it is?

i just want to clear my stash

[humble thorn]

Yes

Only flea market items more than 50k that's what it do

[atomic knoll]

Are you selling anything?

On flea at the moment?

[bold kernel]

no

[atomic knoll]

Then just flea it

[bold kernel]

really

[atomic knoll]

You have 3 unused flea slots anyway

So why not earn a little more cash

[bold kernel]

sorry for reposting and asking again but what to sell on flea and what to vendors

[atomic knoll]

Tip: You can place bags in other bags

So bags only take up a slot

[bold kernel]

oh

[atomic knoll]

I have like 1 scav bag with 20 bags in it

[bold kernel]

cool

[tribal cove]

@bold kernel i ve seen LEDX selling for 100k(usually 1.2 mil), kitted M4a1 for 10k (up to 160k) but these are bots and you cant buy them bcs timers are not synced with all players. But some ppl just sell really cheap things idk why and you can get them if you are fast

[tepid rock]

@bold kernel i posted a image of what to sell for you when i pinged you.

[atomic knoll]

Sell the white armor

[surreal karma]

When i need to find an item in-raid for a quest, can i loot it from my friend who brings them into the raid?

[atomic knoll]

For around 30k

Have you done that quest yet tho?

[bold kernel]

@tribal cove oh

[atomic knoll]

If not, DO NOT SELL

[bold kernel]

@tepid rock yes i am looking at it aswell now

but i had that other image too

[tribal cove]

@bold kernel you can remove pistol grips and mags from guns to save space

[bold kernel]

what?

guns are smaller without clips or grips?

[tepid rock]

yes

you get like

3+ spaces free

[bold kernel]

😄

[tribal cove]

Yup

Try it

[bold kernel]

but

am i able to assemble them easily back?

[surreal karma]

I need to find 10 lower-half masks in raid. Can my friend bring those into the raid for off of the market?

[bold kernel]

do i need something special for that

where do i even assemble weapons

[tribal cove]

Yea, you just put them back like you removed them

[tepid rock]

no, just take off the grip and mag

[bold kernel]

zomg

[tribal cove]

Just hover the item over the gun

[tepid rock]

double click the gun, and move them

[bold kernel]

but

nvm

lol cool

lots of space now

didnt know that i had not even examined my weapon parts

on the weapons

is this gun sexy or nah?

good parts or nah?

[frosty crown]

lol

[tribal cove]

That eare the cheapest parts

But it is decent

[bold kernel]

yeah i figured

[tepid rock]

it is decent yes

[bold kernel]

its just semi rare to me to even have a red dot on rifle

[tepid rock]

better than 366 shit

[bold kernel]

what is 366 shit

[mint hawk]

@bold kernel it's stock adar

[bold kernel]

adar without any parts?

[mint hawk]

@bold kernel ak that use 366 ammo.. Single fire

[frosty crown]

well it has parts

just the stock ones

[bold kernel]

😄

okay

[frosty crown]

its like u got an xbox arcade

instead of the xbox pro

[native temple]

Do scavs sprint?

[atomic knoll]

@bold kernel The ammo is horrible on that ADAR

[tribal cove]

You can get one from a trader for 1 rechargeable battery i think

[bold kernel]

😐

[tribal cove]

So cheap and good

[bold kernel]

i bet all my ammo are horrible at the moment

[tribal cove]

Dont forget to use good ammo, always

[native temple]

Yea ADAR lit and you can get them from a rechargeable battery

[frosty crown]

ya adar is a good budget gun

[native temple]

Can confirm ADAR destroys factory

[bold kernel]

can adar be automatic?

[native temple]

Yes

It can become an M4 I think

[bold kernel]

oh

[atomic knoll]

ADAR is a good gun but you need good ammo for it to be good. The ammo IS NOT CHEAP

[bold kernel]

NOT cheap

[native temple]

If you're lucky enough to spawn as a scav with M80

Then you can just do that

that's what I do with my ADARs

[bold kernel]

what was the good ammo named again

i go check prices

[atomic knoll]

855a1

[bold kernel]

cool

[atomic knoll]

The best budget option

[frosty crown]

its alot tho

[atomic knoll]

About 300 a pop

Hence I recommend the Vepr KM

7.62x39 PS ammo cost less then 100 a pop

[frosty crown]

agreed my fav budget gun is the vepr km

[atomic knoll]

And do more damage then the 855a1 and can pierce tier 4 armors

[frosty crown]

just slap some cheap parts on it and ur good

[native temple]

What kind of ammo can you expect visors to deflect? I've been doing decent on my runs nomatter the ammo as long as I hit a face, but I've not encountered a visor

[atomic knoll]

And since it's semi auto, recoil is less of an issue

[bold kernel]

if someone sells 90 ammo and price says 400 does it mean per item as in per 90?

[atomic knoll]

per item

[tribal cove]

Per item

[frosty crown]

400 ea

[bold kernel]

per 90?

[atomic knoll]

for one

400 for oen

[bold kernel]

for ONE??

[frosty crown]

ya so 400 x 90

[atomic knoll]

yes

[tribal cove]

1 round is 400

[bold kernel]

the FuQ

no shit expensive

[frosty crown]

welcome to tarkov

[atomic knoll]

Like I said, it's expensive

[bold kernel]

:DD'

[atomic knoll]

Hence I recommend against ADAR

due to the damn ammo

[frosty crown]

just wait until ur shooting thousands of roubles a second lol

[bold kernel]

SO

[atomic knoll]

Cause that's where the damage comes from

[tribal cove]

M61 rounds(that I use for my M1A) are 1.2k per round, soo yeah

[bold kernel]

what is a decent weapon from my stash that has good ammo for NOT EXPENSIVE like ADAR AMMO?

[native temple]

Do NPC Scavs sprint?

[bold kernel]

is this the right question?

[atomic knoll]

Vepr KM

If you have it

[bold kernel]

i sold it god damn

[native temple]

Buy a mosin and get the Lzh or whatever. It's cheapo and buying from Prapor

[tribal cove]

@bold kernel well, most good ammo is expensive

[atomic knoll]

Buy it from flee for cheap. Around 15-20k

[native temple]

And will kill

[bold kernel]

oh

[sour plume]

there isn't really such thing as good ammo that isn't expensive

[frosty crown]

762x39 ps is only like 87 ea bullet

[surreal karma]

Hey. Can my friend drop me 10 lower half-masks to complete punisher part 2?

[bold kernel]

i have 35k is it worth buying?

[frosty crown]

no

[sour plume]

7.62x39 ps and 5.45 bt/bp are pretty good for their price

[tribal cove]

@bold kernel but yea, mosin with lzh is great

[atomic knoll]

5.45 bt?

Those are decent

[bold kernel]

but

can i kill players in cqb with mosin?

[sour plume]

bt and bp are pretty similar, bt is slightly better and slightly more expensive

[frosty crown]

ya just hit them

[bold kernel]

is it semi-fire

[frosty crown]

no

bolt action

[native temple]

No it's a bolt

[bold kernel]

lol

[native temple]

But it works wonders on factory if you play the right angles

[bold kernel]

"just hit them"

[native temple]

I killed 3 people and I'm lvl 6

[tribal cove]

@bold kernel you dont have much money and you should sell some guns and loot you have and do scav runs to make some money than start using mosins or vepr km

[native temple]

3 players

BEAR

[frosty crown]

channel ur inner cod no scope skills

[sour plume]

honestly, if you're lower level on a budget, buy hunters

[native temple]

Use sound to get the jump on people

[sour plume]

best budget gun by far

[native temple]

Hunter is a really good gun

I like that one a lot

Never get them though : (

[atomic knoll]

Hunter is pretty good

[frosty crown]

i like the vepr km better than the hunter

[sour plume]

semi automatic that shoots m80s

[atomic knoll]

But their mags are expensive af

[bold kernel]

@tribal cove mmkay, but im trying to figure out which guns do i keep and which i sell

[native temple]

I find all the VEPR's suck unless its a VEPR hunter

[tribal cove]

Yea. True. I just dont like how it feels and I dont use it @native temple

[atomic knoll]

And they only have 10 ammo

per mag

[native temple]

Understandable, bolt actions aren't easy to use

and if you don't kill on the first shot, you're in trouble usually

[sour plume]

hunter 10 round mags aren't expensive

[atomic knoll]

Pretty expensive if you only have 30k lol

[sour plume]

like 6k per mag

[tribal cove]

Thats how I started playing and i made good profit, so thats what I am recommending

[native temple]

At the end of the day, you have to spend moeny to make money, or get lucky on scav runs

[sour plume]

take like 3-4 mags and loose rounds in alpha

[tidal tiger]

any discords around that help new players out?

[sour plume]

...this one? lol

[tidal tiger]

just got here lol

[native temple]

Anyone know if Scav npcs sprint?

[atomic knoll]

They might

Especially if taking cover

They actually sprint away from you

[bold kernel]

sv-98 any good as it looks?

[native temple]

Nah, this was a fresh set of spawns. I heard sprinting, and the Scav that came out was aiming up STRAIGHT at my location, so I panic shot him, then the npc scav behind him 1 shot me

[tribal cove]

@bold kernel sell the sa-58, saiga 12, mp 133, all the armors except for the 6b13

[native temple]

I was doing a scav run, was just scared b/c I got good loot

It wasn't in combat, but it may have been sprinting AT bullets

[bold kernel]

@tribal cove but what if i die and lose the items that i didnt sell

[atomic knoll]

If there's scav around, doesn't matter

[native temple]

If that's a thing

[bold kernel]

or do i make insurances

[atomic knoll]

If you die, the pscav dies

@bold kernel Only bring in items you can afford to lose

[fast rivet]

@bold kernel bruh just click on their heads

[native temple]

Accept that you lost the shit, and run again

lol

[bold kernel]

what if i cannot afford to lose anything lol

[atomic knoll]

Then don't do those runs

Do scav runs

[bold kernel]

i wasted all my 250k starting money dying and stash was empty

now that i have something in my stash im afraid it will empty when i go die

[native temple]

do a scav run on factory, camp your ass off, loot bodies, kill if you can, and wait until 2ish minutes to find your extract and leave

Repeat until you have desired gear.

EZ

[atomic knoll]

Factory though

If you want consistent money, that would be shoreline/interchange

[bold kernel]

i have been doing shoreline now

with scav

3 succesfull runs that made my stash look like that

[native temple]

I guess. I just like factory. There's not much to it, and you learn a lot as a new player.

[bold kernel]

my stash was reaaallly empty before that

[atomic knoll]

Good keep it up. Sell whatever you don't use

[bold kernel]

so i keep doing the same? lol

[tribal cove]

@bold kernel insure the items, and usually the cheap guns are not picked up by players

[atomic knoll]

Yeah. During the downtime, do some offline raids

[native temple]

If you go to the top of the metal stairs, and chill in that metal shed, you can pretty much hear anyone in the offices

[bold kernel]

but what if my scav goes on break and i have to use pmc

[frosty crown]

do quests

[native temple]

So you can get an idea of where people are, loot, and extract

[frosty crown]

thats what i did

[atomic knoll]

Do offline raids to get more familiar with your map

[native temple]

Then you either A ) Use PMC, or B ) Play on the internet for 20 mins and then do another scav

[frosty crown]

U just gotta play a bunch

[bold kernel]

@bold kernel insure the items, and usually the cheap guns are not picked up by players
@tribal cove what does it matter if they are picked up if i have insurance?

[fast rivet]

doing offline raids is great for learning the maps, scav spawns and movement

[native temple]

HAlf the time I get out of a scav run, i'm on my trading screen for so long, I end up with only 8 minutes left lol and just wait it out

[fast rivet]

if you're new and always playing pmc multiplayer, you're playing this game wrong

[bold kernel]

i have been getting familiar with maps now

tho 2 maps

[atomic knoll]

@bold kernel If your items are picked up, say bye to them

[bold kernel]

shoreline and customs

customs i learned by dying there 15 times

but i killed too

[atomic knoll]

So if you forsee yourself dying, just dump all your items to a nearby bush

[bold kernel]

1.26 kdr

[atomic knoll]

And embrace death

[bold kernel]

:DD

[native temple]

Yea, I saw a streamer toss his thermal (inusred) into a bush

never considered that

really smart

[bold kernel]

btw is there a quick button for discarding items and looting items

i have been dragging with my mouse

[atomic knoll]

delete

[tribal cove]

@bold kernel you dont get them back. If an insured item is left on ur body or anywhere on the map, you will get it back

[atomic knoll]

You could rebind it to an easier button

[bold kernel]

@tribal cove so thats how insurance works?

[tribal cove]

Yup

[atomic knoll]

Yes.

Note that all ammo will not be returned

In mags

[bold kernel]

if my corpse gets fully looted off i dont get anything back?

[atomic knoll]

So does provisions and meds

Yes, if your corpse is looted, nothing will come back

[native temple]

You only get insured items back if no one extracts with them

basically

[tribal cove]

If they bring the itms and extraxt with them, no

[bold kernel]

Brutal

[native temple]

Meh, think about how many times people loot you, die, and then the next guy doesn't want it

[bold kernel]

but if they get looted 6 times over from player to player and nobody gets them back

[atomic knoll]

That's why throw your items to an abandoned bush and embrace death

[bold kernel]

what if players decide to dissassemble my rifles and share the parts

[atomic knoll]

If they extract, then goodbye

[bold kernel]

and 1 player gets out alive with my grip from a rifle that i insured

but the rest stay in the map

😄

[atomic knoll]

As long as the item stays, you get it back

[quartz kettle]

then you get everything left yes

[native temple]

What no said

I got an AK back, but someone took my red dot

[tribal cove]

But cheap guns dont get picked up

[quartz kettle]

and you buy another 3k grip

[bold kernel]

oh

[native temple]

They took the good attachment, but left the gun

[bold kernel]

can i rip attachments fast off from weapons during raid?

[atomic knoll]

Yeah

Double click and drag

[bold kernel]

cool ok

[atomic knoll]

Not all though

[bold kernel]

i have still so many questions

[atomic knoll]

Some can't be removed during raid

[bold kernel]

this chat has been filled with my questioning for many hours now

when do i go play

i bet silencers and red dots atleast can

but not like

internal parts?

[atomic knoll]

Yes

basically non vital parts

Are removable

[bold kernel]

yeah

2 times i died because i took too much time looting corpse and looking at parts and what to keep and so on

[atomic knoll]

Loot the gun first

[bold kernel]

i didnt know what the heck i was looking at even

[atomic knoll]

And move

[tribal cove]

@bold kernel you can go to looking for group and ask someone to play and teach you the basics. I cant play rn

[bold kernel]

hmm yeah

well

i am better now than 12hours before

but still

[atomic knoll]

I still suck at the game

[bold kernel]

a young padawan

[rapid panther]

hi, which should I choose, USEC or BEAR? is there a difference?

[atomic knoll]

Yes. One speaks russian

[rapid panther]

is that all?

[quartz kettle]

@rapid panther not really, one speaks russian when you hit f1

[atomic knoll]

That's bout it

[paper ruin]

best spot to find salewa kits for the quest?

[atomic knoll]

Buy em off flea?

[paper ruin]

havent unlocked it

[atomic knoll]

Or shoreline resort

[rapid panther]

so usec and bear are basically small asthetic changes?

[atomic knoll]

Yes

But one is A BEAR

[rapid panther]

true, ty for help

[paper ruin]

and speaks epic russian

[atomic knoll]

^

[bold kernel]

who buys mp133?

not a one vendor wants it when i disassembled it

[fast rivet]

not dissassembling your weapons and selling all attachments to skier and all the main parts to mechanic

[marble cliff]

Anyone trying to help out a noob

[fast rivet]

besides all of us?

[bold kernel]

@fast rivet what

i just sold 2 weapons disassembled succesfully to skier and then mechanic

but

mp133 parts are unwanted?

[signal inlet]

Watch streamers play and try to adapt to their playstyle and don’t be afraid to go in a raid as a fully geared out pmc
If you’re not sure sell your shit and take a smg with ya

[bold kernel]

i have been watching

when i can

But

i fucking hate those weird sniper dudes

at weird spots

shootin me head

[signal inlet]

Getting good at a task requires time and practice

[bold kernel]

ofc

[signal inlet]

Put the time in and become better

[bold kernel]

ofc

but

i am becoming better

i have killed

and i want more blood

[signal inlet]

Learn the map in offline and know where scavs spawn

[bold kernel]

but i dont want to lose stuff and i am extra careful

scavs as in player scavs or npc scavs

[signal inlet]

How hard have you worked for your stuff

Both

[bold kernel]

im not quite sure how spawning system works yet

i sometimes wonder when i go into match that i see a pile of corpses front of me instantly

[signal inlet]

Look up (map name) tarkov
Example,, woods tarkov map

[bold kernel]

yeah but

do all players spawn same time in the beginning of a match

or during the match aswell?

[signal inlet]

Mostly shows you spawn of loot and scavs

[somber nymph]

I just saw a pile at factory and got a 12 gage

[bold kernel]

can people spawn into 1 match repeatedly

nah

pmcs spawn together

scavs spawn staggered

[signal inlet]

No, depending on speed of pc and connection and time you’ve ready up

[bold kernel]

oh

yee

so scavs can spawn like every 5minutes or something?

how does loot in the map refresh?

not sure on the exact

loot doesn't refresh

[signal inlet]

Not sure

[bold kernel]

i mean

[signal inlet]

Once looted its looted

[bold kernel]

just each raid refreshes

sometimes i spawn into a village thats already been looted

whats up with that

as a scav?

i think so

[signal inlet]

Someone has got there before you

[bold kernel]

yeah but i just spawned

scavs can spawn in at any time

so i spawned as a scav to match that was already over?

not over

[somber nymph]

Anyone wanna do a factory raid

[signal inlet]

Double tap “o” and see how long the match has gone for

[bold kernel]

but probably later in the game

but dont i see my own time limit as a scav when i tap "o"

[signal inlet]

Depending on the map you can spawn in late or early

[bold kernel]

there's loot in plenty of spots and scaving is a good way to loot up ez

yeah scavvin' made me rich again

i just had to run a little bit

i legit spawned into a raid earlier as scav with 1:30 left

1 village was always empty

good thing it was factory

[signal inlet]

Yea “o” shows you the time till raid is over and possible extracts

[bold kernel]

lol what

1:30 time to extract?

yeah I've never had it happen before

it was wack

ive been lucky then i think

but no one was there xD

i always have like 30 minutes or so

[somber nymph]

I had a 12 min spawn earlier

[bold kernel]

me too i probably just hit a snag

this game keeps on giving surprises

so much to it

late game scav spawns are just looting bodies simulator

how high were they when they created this game?

especially on fac

i havent tried factory map yet

only played 2 maps

[somber nymph]

I played 3

[bold kernel]

factory is fun if you have the extra guns

very fast pace

[signal inlet]

It’s very claustrophobic

[bold kernel]

close quarters

[somber nymph]

Ya but loot is rewarding

[bold kernel]

tru

i legit always insta run to the safe

[somber nymph]

Oof

[bold kernel]

ez gp coins

[signal inlet]

Yea haven’t really tried factory out a lot

[bold kernel]

oh i looked at the factory map just now

[somber nymph]

Wanna get a squad up

[bold kernel]

its just 1 big building?

wild

i played customs a good bit today

and yes

is it the most dangerous map?

idk

[somber nymph]

No

[bold kernel]

what is

[somber nymph]

Labs

[bold kernel]

labs pretty scary

okay

is that a 1 building map aswell?

honestly i think so

but its for thicc boys

[somber nymph]

Ya but its bigger with a lot of halls

[bold kernel]

interchange = labs?

what is google saying

the building is probably at least 4x the size of factory

and no

labs is labs

need a keycard

messed up picture search

[somber nymph]

Oh

[bold kernel]

just watch streamers play it

or

maybe i should try different maps

scav them

or

yeah

lots to do lots to do

you can select offline mode

i have quests in within quests now

and you don't lose gear

[somber nymph]

Or just squad up

[bold kernel]

to see new maps to try new methods

to watch streamers to chat in discord

this game will keep me occupied

yeah hit up a sherpa or maybe some experienced players to guide you

even without playing it

im waiting my friends to buy this game too

but i bet they will tear their pants when playing

like in every other game

[fathom barn]

what do the green names mean in a lobby?

[bold kernel]

how do i sell mp133?

[fathom barn]

are you trying to sell it or give them to prapor for his quest?

[icy summit]

Hey there

[compact basin]

@fathom barn the green names in the lobby are BSG certified Sherpas

[fathom barn]

oh duh, that makes sense. lol

[icy summit]

Don't invite us out of nowhere

[fathom barn]

nah i wouldn't

[icy summit]

Many do

[bold kernel]

oh

@fathom barn i forgot i had that quest

[fathom barn]

i dont wanna waste their time, i'm not a god or anything but i dont think i NEED one when theres a lot of people newer than me currently haha

[deft mulch]

ak-74m or the AKM platform?

[compact basin]

I mean, many do invite random people, yours is just out there 🙂

[icy summit]

Ak74n

[valid jackal]

who wants to help someone threw labs

[deft mulch]

thats what i was thinking too

[icy summit]

Fthat.

[deft mulch]

less recoil and better distance

[mint hawk]

Today at 12:00 Moscow time we plan to conduct maintenance of the Escape from Tarkov servers.

In this regard, the game will be stopped for 1 hour.

Scav players may not receive their loot if they were in the raid at the time of starting work.

[icy summit]

Tanks kepp

[bold kernel]

anyone trying to give me starter gear i'm broke

does it matter that what parts i take off the mp133 shotguns before handing over to a quest

[icy summit]

No.

[bold kernel]

Does the quest prevent me from selling mp133?

[icy summit]

No

[bold kernel]

why cant i sell it then

[icy summit]

To who?

[magic ravine]

Anyone wanna run raids with a noob?

[bold kernel]

to anyone

[somber nymph]

@magic ravine sure

[bold kernel]

vendors i mean

i tried disassembling it and putting it back together with no avail

[icy summit]

Try skier/mechanic/jagger

[bronze ice]

@bold kernel Traders will give you gear when you're broke

[icy summit]

Mechanic is your best bet

[bold kernel]

i tried everyone of them

jaeger is locked tho

[icy summit]

Bugged out then.

[bold kernel]

why is he locked

[icy summit]

Quest

[compact basin]

@magic ravine @somber nymph do #521628660298678283 and #news-setup so you can see the whole discord.

[bold kernel]

ok

bugged?

[magic ravine]

@somber nymph let's join a call

[bold kernel]

maybe the quest does prevent me

[icy summit]

No

Jagger is quest locked

[bold kernel]

i mean the quest prevents me from selling it to anyone

[icy summit]

You should be able to sell the mp133 to both skier and mechanic

[bold kernel]

i cant sell any part of the shotgun

[icy summit]

Restart your game.

Often fixes shit

[mint hawk]

@bold kernel is the mp133 red?

[bold kernel]

now i suddenly can sell something

wtf

i sold the 1 part to mechanic

[mint hawk]

@bold kernel should sell parts to Skier I think.. He's usually highest for parts

[bold kernel]

i tried to sell parts and so on before it didnt work, now it suddenly did

lol

?

weird

[sour plume]

Skier doesn't buy all parts. I think he buys everything except stocks, mags, and receivers/actual guns

[native temple]

Yo I was just doing a scav run, and saw a player scav kill a scav. I kill him, and NPC scavs witness, and start killing me. how's that work? I thought he was hostile b/c he killed a scav

[compact basin]

If you are aggressive towards another scav, player or ai - other scavs will now be aggressive towards you.

[bold kernel]

@sour plume yeah i know but neither of them wanted to buy any parts moment ago

[compact basin]

There are some edge cases to that, but thats the gist of it.

[bold kernel]

must have been bugged

[native temple]

But I witnessed him kill another scav

[sour plume]

Traders bug sometimes, just exit and re enter trader screen

[native temple]

So he was by default, hostile, and you can kill him

[bold kernel]

yeah

are all scavs allied? whatt

[compact basin]

@native temple that works if he is shooting at you, and even then, other scavs might still be hostile towards you.

In general, let AI kill other scavs, if you don't want to aggro them.

[sour plume]

Is it possible the scav you killed was actually killing a hostile player scav?

[native temple]

word

[tribal cove]

@bold kernel if you sell guns you can dissasable them and sell by parst to skier than mechanic. And for other irems sell to therapist(she gives the most money) but check the flea market price, you might get a lot more for some items on flea

[bold kernel]

playing as a scav do i get to run past npc scavs?

[tribal cove]

Yup

Unless u shoot them and then they all shoot you

[bold kernel]

lol i did not know that

i have been killing all of them

hahah

[compact basin]

welcome to tarkov

[bold kernel]

i have been killing everyone

i was brutal by nature myself

how do i know which scavs are players after i have killed them?

[tribal cove]

If they got dogtags they are pmc, if they dont have a pouch slot they are scav bots and if they have a pouch slot but no dogtags they are scav players

[deft mulch]

man this is a totally different game when ur in a run with everything you own on ur back worth 250k

[bold kernel]

okay

who wants to buy my shitty armors?

i only could sell the "PRESS" armor for vendor

[deft mulch]

if my armor has low durability will it still perform the same right up till it breaks or do i need to repair it before each run?

[compact basin]

It won't perform the same, no.
It would stop less bullets having lower durability.

[bold kernel]

how and where do i sell my armors

Paca / 3m armors

or are they just too broken to be sold

[limpid pendant]

ragman buys anything that can be worn

[fast rivet]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSFQvJxQb8E

[tribal cove]

@bold kernel what lvl are u?

@deft mulch it has higher chance to get penetrated and at 0 it is just uslesess

[bold kernel]

ragman does not agree

[tribal cove]

Cant sell them bcs they are not repaired

[bold kernel]

lol yeah

is it worth to repair and sell

[tribal cove]

You either sell them on flea or repair them and then sell to regma

[bold kernel]

does it cost too much

[tribal cove]

But just sell on flea

Not worth repairing

[bold kernel]

ok

[tribal cove]

Right click and repair to see

Btw, lvl 2 and 3 armor is kinda useless, barelly protects you from bad pustol ammo and buckshot

[bold kernel]

my buddy just joined chat, why can't he get into voice chats?

[tribal cove]

Lvl 4 is good and 5 or 6 is for high tier

@bold kerneltell hit to go to #news-setup and #521628660298678283

React to the mossages

[bold kernel]

alright thank you brother

do i sell by hitting +add offer?

[tribal cove]

Yup

[bold kernel]

cool

do people really buy broken armors

[tribal cove]

Right click and filter by item to see other offers and find a price close to other armors similar in durability

Some do

[bold kernel]

i just searched for cheapest ones and made this one even cheaper

[tribal cove]

If it is 18/50 lvl 5 for a good price i d get it

[bold kernel]

maybe someone buys it fast

what lvl

do armors have levels

[tribal cove]

Tea. Gonna sell fast

Yea

Lvl 2 to lvl 6

[bold kernel]

lol

someone bought it already

that was fast

bling bling

business is good

[tribal cove]

Lvl 4 protects u against scavs and bad ammo rifles that should be enough

[bold kernel]

okay cool

[tribal cove]

Still got the 6b13?

[bold kernel]

yes

[tribal cove]

What durability it has?

[bold kernel]

should i repair it

[golden geyser]

Is there a config file to adjust Tarkov settings, cuz dragging this slider is impossible to hit certain numbers

[bold kernel]

19.4/47

[tribal cove]

It should go up to 39/39 i think

If it is less than that it is not worth it

[bold kernel]

okay

[tribal cove]

Uley 50/50 armors are good for budget runs

Depends on how much money u have tho

[bold kernel]

hmm

how do i get my money from flea

[hardy oak]

I have a question, should I focus to save up on a lucky scav junkbox, or only keep stuff I need for my hideout and upgrade it?

[bold kernel]

i sold 2 armors very fast

but where are my moneys

[tribal cove]

@golden geyser there might be one is documents/escaape... Not sure

[golden geyser]

Yup I found it

[tribal cove]

@hardy oak keep the stuff or sell it, dont invest yet it gets expensive

@bold kernel check messages from ragman

[bold kernel]

oh cool ty

so now i have made 230k by selling crap

successful newbie lastnight

[tribal cove]

Nice. While in raid you can check items you find on eft-loot.com to see their prices and what is worth keeping. If they dont show up than the item is basicly useless

[bold kernel]

cool

[sour plume]

okay here's a huge decision

do I keep the thicc case I got from the therapist quest or sell it

[flint robin]

when the downtime start guys , i know it 12:00 moscow time but it so confusing in gmt +1

[sour plume]

moscow time is 11:59 rn according to google

so maintenance is basically rn

[flint robin]

ah ok

[sour plume]

or should be

[flint robin]

man it so confusing

[tribal cove]

@sour plume if you have enough space in ur stash you can sell it since it is expensive af

[sour plume]

i have eod, so ye, lots of space

[bold kernel]

wow

first time my game crashed

[tribal cove]

Ur choise. I would sell it

[bold kernel]

i was trying linked search for yellow pliers

game died

[fathom barn]

pretty sure servers just went down for maintenance

[bold kernel]

rly

[wet spade]

how long is the maintenace usually?

[sour plume]

an hour they say

[fathom barn]

no idea, i dont usually run into it

i just saw the announcement a little bit ago

[stone surge]

its down for about 1hour

[tribal cove]

#eft-announcements

[stone surge]

give or take

[tribal cove]

1 h

[bold kernel]

maintenance yes

fuck

excuse my french

[fathom barn]

guess im going to bed instead of throwing more gear in the trash in another run lol

its probably for the best

[limpid pendant]

server shutdown in 4 mins

[bold kernel]

i cant login

is it really for 1 hour

[limpid pendant]

i was in a game it said get out in 4 mins

unfortunately i guess scavs lose everything on escape

i found a massive 1200hp medkit too >:

[terse narwhal]

i had a broken leg and had to limp against the timer to extract on nighttime woods

got out so i hope my pmc kept what i got

[sour plume]

i think if you're a pmc you either get a free extract or you get reset back to pre-raid

not sure which

scavs just get yeeted

[lusty light]

pre-raid

[terse narwhal]

pre-raid stats too?

[lusty light]

everything before the servers died

i know this because i lost millions on labs thanks to it

lol

[terse narwhal]

i gotta kill more scavs now yay

[neon niche]

yo so i just got out with scav

the it shows authorisation error

[lusty light]

[neon niche]

does it mean i couldn't get anything?

[lusty light]

you boned bro

[terse narwhal]

they give everyone a timer to get out of raid but like make us lose everything anyway?
