trying to optimze this bag right now

royal wind
#

Water filters are like 40k now for some fucking reason.

trim herald

Good

i'll hold it, the market will come back

it's all real

royal wind

I hate it, I can find 2-3 of those badboys in woods bunkers back when they were 75k a piece.

reef spoke
#

I mean i'm outside flint, shits a mixxed bag

#

lots of places still having issues because its the plumbing inside the house not the main lines that are the issue

#

and thus "not the states problem."

trim herald
#

I've heard most of the water in flint is fine now, and they're just struggling to replace pipes because they can't get access to the property as the owners aren't responding to communications

anyone in NA able to show me the ropes? been playing for a few weeks and have like a 10% survival rate

When is next patch/wipe

mint hawk
#

@muted lake months

rain condor
#

i think march

#

pestilly said march

#

but who knows

grave helm
#

Guys what case do you use to stash your mods?

split vapor
#

Re

#

false info

royal wind
#

5 months from now is the last update.

#

So, around June.

split vapor
#

the newest news says 5 some months

solemn depot
#

Wipe, there will be patches

muted lake
#

alright

#

thanks

celest condor
#

@grave helm I was using a weapons case for the last couple wipes. This wipe though I decided not to store any mods and just buy mods as I used them. Was doing that anyways.

royal wind
#

Yeah.. I've got an icase for stashing my tacticool mods.

karmic meadow
#

what's a decent ammo for the AK?

visual shadow
#

So how do we go about getting into one of these here sherpa vcs?

celest condor
#

5.45mm ammo should start with a B. In increasing order BP - BT - BS

split vapor
#

by needing one

karmic meadow
#

Thanks !

vital stone
#

hey where should i go to find teammates??

visual shadow
trim herald
#

@karmic meadow Anything less than BS and you'll die for not using better ammo

vital stone
#

ok thanks

karmic meadow
#

Oooookay then ! proceeds to unload my 3 mags filled with BP

#

Thanks for keeping a watch on me @trim herald

thick harness
#

My game has been acting wierd af for the last day. I just finished a raid it says 1 elimination but i literally killed reshala and his body guards plus several other scavs on a solo run

celest condor
#

5.45 BP is minimal, you will struggle agaibst class 5. BT is a significant upgrade and will do fine against class 5. BS is the best 5.45

trim herald
#

The moment you run into anyone who's got good gear, the type of people you actually REALLY want to kill because they'll be great kills, you're just fucked as they'll sponge for days with BP or BT

visual shadow
#

Ok. lol. I'll ask in a more direct way. Anyone want to sherpa in b-a2?

trim herald
#

BT will NOT do well against lvl 5

thick harness
#

How is it possible for me to only get xp for one elim smfh

royal wind
#

And also, he said DECENT, he didnt ask for the best.

thick harness
#

and after ive extracted it says im still in the raid

bold kernel
#

do i get exp with pmc even if i die?

trim herald
#

Yes

celest condor
#

BP will do you fine unless thicc PMC. I have gone toe to toe against Killa plenty of times with BP and won.

young geyser
#

If you repair a faceshield does it fix the cracks or is it fucked forever?

split vapor
#

it fixes them

trim herald
#

Because Killa doesn't shoot back if you shoot him Stinky

#

PMC's do

royal wind
#

Gotta buy a new one to get rid of cracks. Repairs just fixes the durability.

split vapor
#

no

#

but okay

trim herald
#

Repairs should fix cracks as well now

split vapor
#

it does

trim herald
#

I don't trust the visor after it's taken damage though so I always sell mine

karmic meadow
#

I'll just keep a BP mag in case I have some scavs spawns, thanks guys šŸ˜‰

royal wind
#

Since when?

young geyser
#

Its not updating in the hideout but hideout is a little buggy

split vapor
#

always

trim herald
#

Since a while back?

celest condor
#

Not everyone can aford BS all the time. BP is an acceptable round, imo though. It is still good enough to kill anything you see.

trim herald
#

Not always, but for a long time

#

If you can't afford BS you shouldn't be running a 5.45 platform unless you're perfectly ok with being at a massive disadvantage against anyone with good armour

#

And probably lose a fight you would've won with BS

royal wind
#

You need to get past your ammo elitism. Plenty of new players are getting 74s and 74us from scav runs and cant afford to run BS ammo every single time.

trim herald
#

And they will die because of not running BS

#

But if you want people to have a bad time, then that's fine

#

I just don't think it's fair on the new people

young geyser
#

I just had a 3v1 fight customs

royal wind
#

That's the same as telling people they should never use a pistol, SMG, or shotgun.

celest condor
#

And I guess M995 is the only acceptable M4 round too... You should run the ammo you can afford, but there are reaonable minimum standards. To me BP is minimum for 5.45

young geyser
#

all three had AKs using 556 ps

trim herald
#

No, 855A1 is fine for 556

grave helm
#

PS is fine at the start since new players die left and right

trim herald
#

And M80 is fine for .308

#

Both are over 40 pen and handles lvl 5 armour fine

young geyser
#

PS 5.56 is garbo

pastel comet
#

!wiki water filter

broken quailBOT
trim herald
#

BT is NOT over 40 pen and does NOT handle lvl 5 fine

grave helm
#

PS is garbage but ok for new player

trim herald
#

Also I would definitely tell people not to use pistols, shotguns or any SMG except for the MP7

royal wind
#

These new players dont need to be taking down level 5 thicc bois every raid.

trim herald
#

Because they're all subpar

#

Do you think they're happier dying to a lvl 5+ guy with 300 armour damage or killing him and taking his shit?

#

I'd go with the second

#

But if you have a fetish for dying, that's cool too

young geyser
#

Then why take an AK to raid if you aren't going to kill people?

grave helm
#

Calm down Rommel lmao

royal wind
#

He's always like this.

young geyser
#

Its like taking a lamborgini to go at 20 mph

grave helm
#

even with BS/BT ammo the gonna get rekt anyways

royal wind
#

"Buy top tier ammo or YOU GONNA DIE and you wont enjoy the game!"

trim herald
#

Maybe, but at least they'll have a chance

#

And you KNOW that no one who's any good at this game will run shitty ammo

bold kernel
#

need help with raids

trim herald
#

But telling new people to do that, so you can persumably farm them I guess, that's fine?

grave helm
#

When I teached a new player once, I gave him some ps and run ak with ps ammo aswell and we killed 5ppl and extracted

celest condor
#

BP is good enough, Buy BT or BS if you can afford it. That is simple.

trim herald
#

The hypocrisy is really obnoxious

#

Do as I say, not as I do

bold kernel
#

can somebody help raid and eberythink?

royal wind
#

I dont even buy BS or Igolnik ammo in my runs.

young geyser
#

BP at least pens AC3

royal wind
#

So there's no hypcrosy here.

grave helm
#

Ammo isnt always the important thing, new players doesnt suck with 0 game sens thats the reason they die that often.

royal wind
#

Most of my runs have been shotguns and snipers anyways.

trim herald
#

Maybe Adams, but even then if they come across a geared dude who's looting or whatever, they can still kill them

grave helm
#

I always run BS since I can afford it but before that I run with PS 24/7

trim herald
#

They cannot with shitty ammo

#

And there's nothing more satisfying when you're first starting out than killing some dude with end gear loot

celest condor
#

Shotguns with buckshot is just plain fun.

young geyser
#

^^

tender trail
#

Not all ammo that isn’t the ā€œbestā€ is ā€œshittyā€

trim herald
#

No, Quark

#

But any ammo that cannot deal with lvl 5+ is shitty

royal wind
#

People come in here asking for budget loadouts and guns. They cant be running a magazine with ammo that costs more than their gun every raid.

trim herald
#

There's plenty of ammo that isn't BIS

#

That's true Pigeons

young geyser
#

BP is way better than PS

royal wind
#

Let them use BP and BT. It's not a crime.

#

Especially when they ask for a DECENT ammo choice, not the best.

cursive birch
#

Hey where is the good loot at in interchange? I go around the mall and to the big depo stores and there aint shit

trim herald
#

I've always said they can use whatever they want, but it will cost them deaths

red flicker
#

I just looted a pilgrim from a scav I shot and was wondering what should I do with it since it takes such a horrendous amount of slots from my stash

celest condor
#

All ammo can deal with level 5+. Just some do it easier than others. I have killed plenty, well a few, with buckshot and 9mm ammos.

trim herald
#

100% they WILL die from having shitty ammo

grave helm
#

Keep in mind Rommel even if they take BS/BT ammo and go for raids, they will most likely die early on because there game knowledge isn't there. So it isn't worth it for them

trim herald
#

If they're happy with that, feel free to

young geyser
#

again

grave helm
#

@cursive birch Ima send u a interchange loot video in a sec

royal wind
#

They'll most likely die from poor aim/recoil control before they die because of shitty ammo.

trim herald
#

Then why bring in any guns then Adams?

royal wind
#

So relax.

trim herald
#

They're just going to die

#

So whatever

cursive birch
#

Thanks @grave helm

trim herald
#

Just bring in a PM

grave helm
#

lul smh

trim herald
#

Such a dumb argument

balmy marsh
#

i spent shit ton of money going to labs and i get disconnected everytime i try and join?

royal wind
#

Yet you have it every day.

#

Literally, every day.

trim herald
#

Because dumb people want beginners to have a bad time

split vapor
#

labs there yer first mistake

trim herald
#

Every day

#

Only Nyar is allowed on Labs

tender trail
#

I’ve got 44% survival in my first 10 days of play over 26ish raids, and I don’t ever use BiS. I use BP, BT, whatever I find

celest condor
#

Maybe some people realize that new players can not always run the best gear at all times. And ammo gets expensive.

tender trail
#

Your argument is too rigid for a game with a hell of a lot of variables

trim herald
#

And have I ever said they MUST run the best ammo always? No, never.

grave helm
#

imagine a new player who barely has any money spend 27k on a full BS ammo which is most likely 30% ish + of his money when he starts

trim herald
#

But if they don't, it will cost them deaths

grave helm
#

For sure in some raids you will die because your ammo didnt pen lvl 5 armor

celest condor
#

Nah you just seem to say anthing other than the best ammo is garbage and will get you killed. That is far from the truth.

young geyser
#

If you can't afford BT then you can't afford to be buying AKs and throwing them away

trim herald
#

@tender trail And you would've had an even higher survival rating likely had you used better ammo

grave helm
#

but in my 100+ hours in raid I found like 20-40 frull geared ppl who actually used high lvl armor

trim herald
#

@celest condor It's not though. Have you ever died to someone after doing armour damage with less than BS ammo?

final nebula
#

Ive played only a few times so far, dumped a whole mag into a guys chest and he laughed at me

trim herald
#

Of fucking course you have

royal wind
#

Most of the time when I die its just because I fucking missed. Not because his armor saved him.

trim herald
#

Any time you die after doing armour damage and you didn't use the best ammo, you died needlessly very likely

grave helm
#

@final nebula laugh back at him and drink some Booze

celest condor
#

I have died all sorts of ways in my thousands of hours playing this game. With good ammo, bad ammo, good guns, bad guns. and everything in between.

solemn depot
#

Could you guys stop arguing, we are here help newbies, not shout at each other about ammo

final nebula
#

I’m a newbie plz dont argue dads

royal wind
#

Go to your room! The adults are talking.

final nebula
#

😦 okay dad

bold kernel
#

whats the best vepr akm ammo?

young geyser
#

BP

trim herald
#

BP

royal wind
#

Hey look Rommel, he asked for the BEST ammo.

#

NOW you can give the top tier ammo.

grave helm
#

@cursive birch I currently dont find the short video for the mall loot, hang on

celest condor
#

I have also killed PMCs with good guns, bad guns, etc... Even have a fair number of buckshot kills against players recently. If you feel you need to use best ammo all the time, fine.
But telling new players they need to use best ammo, or they will not be able to kill and will simply die is simply not true.

trim herald
#

Pigeons, as if you can tell me what I can or cannot tell people?

celest condor
#

7/62x39mm BP is best.

hallow thicket
#

is it me or do reserve scavs have shit tons of gear

grave helm
#

@cursive birch if u want I can do a Interchange run with u on scav and show you the loot spots

royal wind
#

Just saying, if somebody asks for Decent ammo, and your goto is always to tell them the best, it's a poor recommendation.

trim herald
#

I've never said they cannot kill with worse ammo, only that it'll cost them deaths because they'll struggle to deal with better armour

grave helm
#

@hallow thicket might be the bodyguards of the boss

hallow thicket
#

no i don thtink they were

celest condor
#

@royal wind Don't think he is worth any more time arguing with. Doubt he will ever understand.

hallow thicket
#

random scavs around the helicopter

trim herald
#

Stop strawmanning me dude, if you don't have an argument, other than that you want to farm beginners, then don't even try

hallow thicket
#

they had really nice rigs

royal wind
#

It's our thing Stinky. We do it a lot.

hallow thicket
#

how rare are gp coins

trim herald
#

Honestly, at this point I'm just assuming that all of these "vets" who are suggesting sticking with garbage ammo are just running customs in lvl5+ to farm the beginners

#

@hallow thicket Not very, sell to therapist honestly

royal wind
#

My quest is to kill scavs, I dont give a shit about farming newbies.

solemn depot
#

@trim herald by saying that they'll die because of ammo, you are sort threatening them that if you dont use best ammo they die

royal wind
#

They wont have anything worthwhile anyways.

#

Poor argument.

trim herald
#

I'm not threatening anyone

hallow thicket
#

i found a gp coin in a duffle bag lmao

solemn depot
#

yes you arent

royal wind
#

Unless they have magazines full of BS ammo and dont know how to play the game. THEN it may be worth it.

trim herald
#

I'm stating a fact, just as if you go in with no armour you WILL die because of it

hallow thicket
#

bro i literally pumped a gear guy with multiple mags from a tx15 and he wouldnt die because i was using random ammo

#

ammo counts

trim herald
#

Exactly

royal wind
#

Nobody's arguiing that point iain.

frank wigeon
#

Does insurance sitting in Prapors chat expire?

hallow thicket
#

yeah they are pigeon

royal wind
#

Just saying newbies dont need to be running top tier ammo every raid.

trim herald
#

And every single fucking day there are beginners who come into chat and are upset because they did 300+ armour damage and didn't kill some guy they got the jump on

final nebula
#

Look idk much about this game but i know there’s got to be a load of ways to play, y’all shouldn’t argue just because you play differently and have different suggestions

exotic nebula
#

Sell or keep SV-98?

trim herald
#

Every single day

#

If you want to snipe stuff, keep it, @exotic nebula

bold kernel
#

What's best ammo to use for AK74M

celest condor
#

Oh Ammo counts, absolutely. I just dumped about 8 shots of M80 into a scav wearing a ZHUK-6a armour... Ammo seriously counts.

trim herald
#

@bold kernel BS

celest condor
#

5.45mm BS is best

young geyser
#

See if you want to use an AK but don't want to pay for the good ammo then why even use the AK?

#

Just use a Mosin

trim herald
#

Or Hunter

bold kernel
#

ned help with raiding?

young geyser
#

AKs are like 40k

solemn depot
trim herald
#

Or a vepr 136, as it's semi and you won't use as much ammo, BP is also cheaper

young geyser
#

Youcould even just get an AKM and the PS ammo is still decent

celest condor
#

People can make an arhument for the 7n39 "Igolnik" because of the higher penetration. But the reduction in flesh damage is too much. So the only time 7n39 outperfors BS is against class 6 armour

#

Even then barely

terse narwhal
#

killa face then

modern steppe
#

how do i levl ragman

trim herald
#

For Killa I'd recommend Igolnik only because he uses it so it's a free reload if you farm him

terse narwhal

give or buy stuff

trim herald
#

Do his quests, spend cash with him @modern steppe

im trying to do his quest crybear

Buy armour from him, sell back to him

young geyser

I wish you could get ragman ll2 earlier

#

HE makes the game way better

modern steppe
#

i just dont know how to spendda money

trim herald
#

Buy shit from him, sell back to him

young geyser

"spent" just means how much you have bought and how you have sold

is there an official ammo chart that updates itself every patch/update?

you know the wiki ammo page is that right

#

lol

#

its lit the same thing

celest condor

He also does shots to pen and simulates shots to kill. But those are not always updated

mystic tinsel
#

thank you thank you

trim herald
#

That is also on the wiki

#

Shots to pen at least

celest condor
#

Had not looked at the ammo on the wiki in awhile.

#

not seeing shots to pen or shots to kill on the wiki though.

#

There is a lot more info on the actual spreadsheet made by NOFAM. Good to see the wiki using his info though.

if u have a squad and u wanna have fun lmao

exotic nebula

It and my modded MPX are my dustiest items lmao

celest condor
#

that is not the same. That is a basic rating of how well ammo will penetrate. Go check out his actual spreadsheet and you will see that he has tables showing pen chances after each shot for different armours. Much more detailed than that

trim herald
#

@celest condor Yes, I've seen them. While they're neat they also don't really give you any more useful information than the little summary that's on the wiki

young geyser
#

Its useful in seeing how good armour durability is

celest condor
#

@trim herald I find the shots to kill is a useful took to see actual effectiveness of the round. all depends on how much info you want.

trim herald
#

@young geyser Get rid of it once it's at 75% of max is a good benchmark to know

@novel harbor anything in particular you are looking for help with?

novel harbor
#

everything. im a noob

celest condor

A lot of this game is just tiem in raid. Learning the maps, the sounds, etc..

young geyser
#

Lots of youtube guides to getting started

#

I personally like Pestilly

novel harbor
#

word ty

celest condor
#

To start get a map. just get into raids and try to find the exit and leave. Offline raids and scavs can help you do that without losing your gear.

vernal halo
#

On Reserve, the Sewer manhole is absolutely no backpack, or can you have a small enough one to use it?

celest condor
#

in game maps are useless. So find a map online that shows exits and second monitor or print a hard copy.

novel harbor
#

okay word

celest condor
#

no backpack, far as I know. Have not done much on reserve though.

vernal halo
#

thanks

celest condor
#

@vernal halo Just tried it offline with a sling bag. Said I do not fit. Can't fit with a sling bag, to me it means no bag.

any way to make sprinting hard cancel quiet walking?

Does upgrading game version wipe all your stuff?

young geyser
#

Left shift should overwrite

urban root
#

Odd, it never does for me

celest condor
#

Sprinting resets to fast walking. Been like that for almost a year now I think. If you were hobbling likely took leg hits or lost stamina. Taking hits reduces stamina too.

young geyser
#

^^

urban root
#

nah, he hit me in the arm but I had full stamina and no leg dmg

I just walked slow as fuck around the corner and I really needed to sprint it lol

silver apex

someone want to run a costoms raid

celest condor
#

Don't think there is a key binf to change that behaviour. I remember that before that change a lot of people wanted it to go back to fast walk after sprinting. After the change a streamer complained a little about it because he would sneak up on people and when they started shooting, sprint, then go back to slow walk.

urban root
celest condor
#

SO I am sure he would like to modify that behaviour..

young geyser
#

Thats true

Yeah I'm kind of sad lol, I had a decent run going. About 1 mil and I should've had that guy

spice quest
#

is it just me or do scavs not get affected by the lack of vision such as trees or bushes?

pliant plank
#

so i have a few weapons that im not using now, but planning to use later on when i have better armor to run with them, should i keep or sell the weapons

young geyser
#

Scav vision is pretty weird. Sometimes they walk right up to you sometimes they spot you from 100m away

urban root
#

Scavs are affected by lack of vision until you shoot at them

#

If you shoot at them that bush doesn't mean shit anymore lol

waxen forge

@novel harbor First thing to do is RESET EXPECTATIONS. Doesn’t matter how much or how well you do in other shooters. This is a knowledge game. You will die and die due to lack of experience not gear. Experience. It will require persistence and commitment. You need to learn maps, scav behavior, PMC behavior, what is good vs. bad ammo. Practice OFFLINE mode, with scavs on, at Customs. Try to make it from spawn to exit 10 times. IF you can do this 50% of the time then you are ready for online. Meanwhile use your scav at Interchange to get loot and learn the map.

Go to #521628660298678283 and #news-setup so you can get the PMC role and see all of Discord. IF it doesn’t work can PM the @ contact moderator bot for help.

@spice quest It does affect them, but not the same as a person. Can be really frustrating when the scavs see when they shouldn't be able. Other times I have sat in a bush and the scavs walk around like they are blind.

young geyser
#

I just had a raid on customs where a scav was shooting me with an SKS from Oli ramp while i was in the bushes by the duffle

urban root
#

That's just really unlucky lol

young geyser
#

I thought it was a player but then i found him staring at a wall at the bottom

scavs during the day can be really nasty.

he had shit aim thats the sad part.. its just that i was eating lol

if it works....

Its not always camping though. I have run into people exiting. I have been ahead of a person going to exit and just stopped and waited for him for a minute or two.

imagine game spawning me in bang next to a main when i ran scav.

#

#

with a shitty shotgun too

#

oh no... it was far from extraction,, but it was the road that linked to interchange.. i just ran and saw him in my left corner cause there was a hidy spot and he just shoots me ... looks to me as if he was sitting there purposley

celest condor
#

@karmic meadow Change dust cover. Use the heavy duty dust cover it has a rail on it. there are also handguards that have rails on it.

karmic meadow
#

Aight !

celest condor
#

@karmic meadow Sorry... "extreme duty"

young geyser

@bold kernel Might be scav hunting. Its pretty dangerous to do it inside the mall

yea maybe..

EFT is a horror game man

I'm new and looking for some tips and/or someone to play with to help me get started and get some good loot so I won't feel scared to use guns and lose them

waxen forge
#

@plucky vessel First thing to do is RESET EXPECTATIONS. Doesn’t matter how much or how well you do in other shooters. This is a knowledge game. You will die and die due to lack of experience not gear. Experience. It will require persistence and commitment. You need to learn maps, scav behavior, PMC behavior, what is good vs. bad ammo. Practice OFFLINE mode, with scavs on, at Customs. Try to make it from spawn to exit 10 times. IF you can do this 50% of the time then you are ready for online. Meanwhile use your scav at Interchange to get loot and learn the map.

Go to #521628660298678283 and #news-setup so you can get the PMC role and see all of Discord. IF it doesn’t work can PM the @ contact moderator bot for help.

To request a sherpa visit #sherpa-info and click the link.

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.

@bold kernel middle entrance, under the ULTRA sign

bold kernel
#

then where?

#

go up?

celest condor
#

straight up and at him. SHould find him near KIBA

bold kernel
#

Okay.

#

going with a modded glock 17 lol

#

guess its good practice.

formal laurel
#

he likes to hang in the back of mantis alot

celest condor
#

oen set of stairs, not up the escalatory

trim herald
#

He's not often in the back of Mantis but he can be

formal laurel
#

he's always back there for me

#

scared the shit out of me 2 days ago

young geyser
#

And he drop shots

formal laurel
#

was healing and he came out and around a wall

#

blasted me into a million pieces

trim herald
#

Watched like 80+ Killa kills when people were farming him

#

Think he was there twice or something

formal laurel
#

well i said "for me", he's not supposed to be anywhere specifically, it's RNG

#

someone could only encounter him in brutal if they were lucky enough

bold kernel
#

ok here we go.. lets see how this goes first boss with a glock

young geyser
#

Go for legs btw

bold kernel
#

ok.. good to know actually.

trim herald
#

I mean yeah, that's what I'm saying

young geyser
#

Glock will ping off his head and body

bold kernel
#

thats harder than it sounds...

young geyser
#

He dropshots

trim herald
#

The chances of him spawning in Mantis are quite low over a larger sample size

young geyser
#

and he has 800 hp

undone laurel
#

how much exp is required for elite skills?

formal laurel
#

elite skills?

trim herald
#

lvl 51

#

In that skill

bold kernel
#

why am i scared.. šŸ˜‚

young geyser
#

So i hope you have a 50 round mag xd

undone laurel
#

yea but does anyone know how much exp it is?

formal laurel
#

it only takes a 20 round 308 mag

bold kernel
#

not gonna insure my gun, someone fr will jack this if im dead

#

uhm two 17 round glocks should do šŸ˜‚

celest condor
#

Killa with 8mm is not easy, good luck. I once pumped well over a hundred rounds at him through an MP5.

formal laurel
#

@bold kernel insure it incase you die to a scav or other unfortunate circumstances

trim herald
#

From 10-51 it's what? 4100 xp?

formal laurel
#

@celest condor clearly you werent shooting him in the legs with rip rounds

#

only takes like 10 bullets to kill him with RIP

celest condor
#

General body shots with Luger. Back when Luger was the best ammo šŸ™‚

young geyser
#

Luger won't do shit to him any more

bold kernel
#

ok two glock mags aint enough nvm

#

wish me luck before i get fucked up 😢

celest condor
#

Didn't back then either. But shoot enough marshmellows at him and eventually he will choke.

unreal tulip
#

what key to activate flashlight?

young geyser
#

With luger you need 12 shots to his leg to kill him

#

Where the most rich scavs can be found ? or AI in general?

trim herald
#

Labs

#

Enjoy

bold kernel
#

Thanks
Thanks x2

#

Is it very hard to extract labs?

#

šŸ™‚

#

I am saying extract specifically

#

not Play and stay alive

celest condor
#

Labs is full of raiders. If you are asking about rich scavs you are not ready for labs.

bold kernel
#

?

#

when should i care about labs or try to learn it or run it

#

Big statement clichƩ

young geyser
#

Raiders are super geared scavs

trim herald
#

@bold kernel Never

celest condor
#

All scavs are essentially the same with the exception of raiders, bosses and boss guards.

trim herald
#

It sucks

young geyser
#

Don't bother with labs

bold kernel
#

okay sounds good.

#

lol

#

i wasnt planning on it tbh

#

me running into a 4 man squad

celest condor
#

Apparently there are about 4 levels of scavs from novice to deadly and they are random. So kill a scav and hope for the best.

bold kernel
#

They say so because they dnt want more ppl in them ... šŸ˜‰

#

ah ok

#

I am talking of USEC dudes too I saw they are active in the labs..

#

I mean AI usec dudes

potent pawn
#

Can anyone help. I have the items for generator level 2 but it says I don't

#

I took them out of the case and still

hardy nymph
#

Does anyone heree have a solution for the error that comes with pulling items out of insurance? i pull it, get error, get kicked back to main menu, go to inventory and its gone. then i have to reboot game to see it again, with same problem.

young geyser
#

AI usecs are raiders

bold kernel
#

@potent pawn restart launcher and game

potent pawn
#

@hardy nymph also had this problem

hardy nymph
#

it hasnt happened on all of the items

#

lol

potent pawn
#

@bold kernel thanks Ill try it

bold kernel
#

#RESTART the game

young geyser
#

If you are trying to fold stocks that can sometimes mess it up

potent pawn
#

I have also had the losing items glitch a lot when I finish missions

#

I never get the loot back lol

it works sorry but it happened to me too .. few errors but restart is what this 10 gb simple software needs

i definitely folded stocks

bold kernel

i dont have flea market how much it

celest condor
#

tarkov gamepedia site is a GREAT resource

bold kernel
#

Thanks !

young geyser
#

Always keep purple keys

#

They are often expensive

bold kernel
#

purple?

#

oh

#

ok

celest condor
#

background of the thumbnail

young geyser
#

The background shows the rarity

bold kernel
#

huh.. there was only 1 scav with killa apparently

young geyser
#

Killa has no guards

bold kernel
#

sso i sholdnt sell it

trim herald
#

It's not always relational to the value of the item though

bold kernel
#

i got it off a scav i pick axed

trim herald
#

Some purple background items are garbage, others are worth a lot

celest condor
#

Killa may not have guards, but AI scavs are in the area

trim herald
#

But sell it on the Flea if you want to sell it

young geyser
#

But for keys its always worth taking speculatively

bold kernel
#

there was only 1 scav

celest condor
#

I suggest you conmpare key prices flea market vs therapist

young geyser
#

Keys are great value per slot

magic knot
#

RB-ORB2 key any good? Newcomer, just got 1-tapped in forest but swiped a key in safe case lul

trail jolt
#

does anybody know how to find a lfg for Tarkov?

bold kernel
#

god why cant i run into killa as pmc šŸ˜‚

#

should i buy a lucky junk box

#

i need a box

potent pawn
#

@magic knot probably just look up the name on google. It's a reserve key so lemme check

royal wind
#

@magic knot That's about 400k, so you did good sir.

celest condor
potent pawn
#

I wish the wiki gave you a rough estimate on price

young geyser
#

This is why you always keep the purple keys

magic knot
#

Getting 1tapped at spawn didn't feel so hot, but I'm new so I wasn't expecting much more

bold kernel
#

where can i find maps

potent pawn
#

@magic knot Yeah but you are the winner in that scenario lol. He probably got like a PM pistol lol

exotic nebula
#

Should I wear a helmet on sniper runs?

magic knot
#

He got nothing, I took nothing but a Hatchet in because I had no clue offline existed and was fiddling with controls

trim herald
#

@potent pawn Would you like to volunteer to update the wiki 3-4 times per day on every item then? šŸ˜„ The Flea changes way too much

potent pawn
#

@exotic nebula couldn't hurt. The SSH helmet from ragman I think is solid and cheap

trim herald
#

@exotic nebula I wouldn't unless I have "fuck you" money

celest condor
#

@potent pawn Prices are dynamic. Would be hard for wiki to keep up. Seen keys change in price by hundreds of thousands of rubles overnight.

exotic nebula
#

Is 700k fuck you money?

potent pawn
#

@trim herald Yeah but I mean for a lot of the items you could just do like 150k-200k range style thing

trim herald
#

@exotic nebula No šŸ˜„

exotic nebula
#

rip

potent pawn
#

@exotic nebula its 17k

bold kernel
#

should i sell it or do reserve runs

#

also i had a key tool was it bad i sold it?

potent pawn
#

I can't think of many items that have changed drastically all month. Besides ammo which who cares about the price of that anyways

trim herald
#

I mean if you need it I guess?

young geyser
#

Keytool is very useful

trim herald
#

But you can just buy a new one

#

Propane have shifted between 80k and 30k in the last few weeks

#

That's a pretty massive difference

#

Just for an example

magic knot
#

Reserve isn't very newcomer friendly is it? Looks like it's the newest map so everyone and their mother is probably there

cloud shale
#

hey

celest condor
#

@bold kernel Yes it was bad that you sold it šŸ™‚ I always carry one i my gamma so I can use my keys. I keep the keytool around half full so I can dump any key I find into the key tool for looting without it taking any space.

potent pawn
#

True. I mean there is a site that shows you averages but wiki aint like that

cloud shale
#

i have a queston i can only load into factory not customs or anything

exotic nebula
#

Ah fuck @potent pawn you didn't tell me I'm gonna look like I'm about to storm Normandy

cloud shale
#

how do i load into shit faster

trim herald
#

SSD

#

Download more RAM

cloud shale
#

o k

rare field
#

is there anyone that wants to squad up

magic knot
#

Or if on a budget and you play often a Hybrid Drive can work in a pinch if you need capacity

potent pawn
#

@exotic nebula lmao you are looking fresh af for a ww2 veteran rn

exotic nebula
#

Bruh I look like a time traveler who forgot that they didn't wear ceramic plates in normandy

celest condor
#

@cloud shale If you are talking about matching. In the launcher you can select servers. unselect auto and mess around with selecting servers. I typically pick 3-5 servers.

potent pawn
#

LOL

lone hull
#

So basically, I should go to LFG chat and ask for some help?

exotic nebula
#

@cloud shale
If you have the game stored on a HDD and NOT a SDD and are running Windows 8+; You can "optimize and defragment" your hard drive to give it a little touch up.
Additionally, if you're using a Intel / AMD processor that features Hyperthreading / SMT you can go into Tarkov and select "use only physical cores" unity based games don't like those features.

@exotic nebula Thank you so much ā¤ļø

You probably hit an arm or something Kyle

celest condor
#

@onyx hollow Pretty much all knowledge. It just takes time.

As you'd have killed him if you hit head

onyx hollow
#

Thanks!

#

Have been in this scav inventory for like half an hour now lmao

If that was a arm shot then fuck me something is wrong.

unless i hit each of them once and they survived with decent gear

humble dagger
#

Is there a difference between Aramid (3M) and Titan (6B2) lvl 2 armor?

trim herald
#

They're both garbage Aenr

#

šŸ˜„

humble dagger
#

Don't have anything better between them šŸ™‚

bold kernel
#

but they were in combat prior so i assumed they had damage, It was only scav run for fun but it didnt make sense.

#

ah well

trim herald
#

If you hit armour you'll see armour damage on the end screen

royal wind
#

Just buy a Paca if you want level 2 armor. Those are both way more expensive than they're worth Aenr.

trim herald
#

Scav mosins tend not to have front sights

hybrid cypress
#

yo i found like 240 M61 bullets are those good ? were in a stash

bold kernel
#

Where does one find a Sherpa?

humble dagger
#

It's not that I want level 2 armour, It's that I do not have anything better right now šŸ˜›

celest condor
#

@humble dagger Those are both low level armours. Differences between armour will be overall durability and repairability. I do not the differences off hand.
Essentially use them if you have nothing better and don't worry about them.

trim herald
#

@hybrid cypress Yes they are

humble dagger
#

Thank you all šŸ™‚

Should I bring a backpack on sniper runs?

@trim herald yea thats what i thought too

@open lotus That is a preference thing. I strongly prefer Interchange. I fel interchange has easy to find exits, easy cheap loot runs. Lots of loot without keys and difficulty can go up all the way to Killa hunting.

Hey all, with the new player influx into Tarkov, I've been getting DM's alot about info on the game itself. Decided to try and see the most common learning curve topics people are struggling with. If you have some free time and feel like clicking some boxes, please check out this Google Form and let me know what would be helpful to have more info/explanation on within EFT: https://forms.gle/zhpuzmoyahHk1AgRA

trim herald
#

@pliant plank I like them, but generally you can just buy mags when you need them

celest condor
#

@pliant plank Depends on the player. I personally keep way too many magazines in my stash. I store them in two mag cases and various rigs. So to me it is worth having nag cases

left knot

anyone got tips for a hatchet only run?

#

@runic bone my best runs are with SKAV, where I just magically wander through without running into someone. I actually had 5 kills with the MP133 but my wounds prevented me from making it in time.

#

@split vapor I sent a request on EFT site I think for sherpa, idk how this works

soft yacht
#

"Vitality improves your chances of surviving a wound by decreasing the possibility of bleeding and instant death through critical damage of a body part." Does this mean I can basically die from losing a non-vital limb? I got shot twice in my left arm by two scavs and died. I dont know what kind of weapon can do that much damage. Recap said I died from a shot to left arm. I was wearing class 4 body armor too.

urban root
#

arms aren't saved by body armor unless otherwise specified and even then it's usually only the shoulder

#

any damage taken by blackened limbs is spread on the whole body at a multiplier depending on which limb

trim herald
#

@soft yacht Not anymore, it's an old tooltip

#

You used to die whenever you took damage to a black limb

urban root
#

you still die to blacked limb dmg rommel

trim herald
#

No, you die from your total healthpool going to 0

urban root
#

Nope blacked limb can straight kill

trim herald
#

Or rather, torso/head going to 0

#

I mean it can't

But ok

RommelToday at 7:06 PM
Or rather, torso/head going to 0

urban root
#

Black damage

#

is exactly what I was talking about lol

trim herald
#

It's not the damage to the limb, it's the head/torso going to 0

bold kernel
#

anyone have an idea?

trim herald
#

It used to be, if you took a single point of damage on a black limb, you died

#

@bold kernel Just 1 GPU is enough to start a farm bud

#

But they're what? 280k each? So for 2.8 mil you get your 10 to start

bold kernel
#

ik, but is 6 mil enough to do everything i need for the farm? (excluding how many gpus i put in)

I have no idea why it doesn't advance that jaeger 10 kills quest... some say to do it in factory .. but that's not easy to find 50 meters kills there

#

@warm terrace Thank you.

#

What are the Raid days?

#

Days that you can play on

warm terrace
#

Can be whenever, just up to when a sherpa and you are on at the same time really

#

Is there a way I cane change my nickname since it doesn't match my in-game name?

inner sentinel
#

uhh I'm starting to develop a love/hate relationship with this game

novel harbor
#

im guessing stuff you get in an offline raid you dont keep?

runic bone
#

i already hate it

gleaming rivet
#

right

novel harbor
#

just finished my first raid without even trying to lol

inner sentinel
#

i spawn as scav,mosin some EOD chad get his stuff extract

novel harbor
#

word

tawdry swallow
#

yooo

bold kernel
#

how do i start quests for mechanic?

tawdry swallow
#

all you guys new?

inner sentinel
#

then I go in as PMC with a press vest,kolpak wiwth visor and an AKM with 2 mags of PS rounds

bold kernel
#

oh nvm i have one from him now

gleaming rivet
#

yes

inner sentinel
#

owned by a twat with a shotgun camping in a corner

runic bone
#

i want to actually kill myself

inner sentinel
#

how tf does he manage to penetrate a lvl 3 vest with buckshot?

#

not flechette

pine nest
#

and then @inner sentinel, I die sometimes within a minute, lose my stuff and need to wait 15 minutes to heal cause I can't afford to heal out of raid with meds

fast otter
#

im done dude i get a brand new vss get sniped by some cammper from the other side of customs

inner sentinel
#

@pine nest I really despise the healing mechanic

runic bone
#

i despise this game now

#

just death everywhere I can't do anything

inner sentinel
#

try to be more sneaky

tawdry swallow
#

Anyone fancy teaming up?

inner sentinel
#

crouch on slowest walking speed

fast otter
#

i would love to finalytema up

#

team*

tawdry swallow
#

nice man

runic bone
#

i crouch most of the time in factory

#

just die

pine nest
#

@inner sentinel so now I'm stuck in a cycle. Run a SKAV, get nothing out of it cause I die 2 out of 3 times, then run my PMC, maybe a minute, maybe 25 minutes, but always ending in death. And now either my SKAV is on cooldown or my PMC is on "health cooldown."

hearty nexus
#

me ! i want to team up šŸ™‚

runic bone
#

same vonToddenstein

tawdry swallow
#

you got a mic

hearty nexus
#

yep

inner sentinel
#

factory is a stinky map @runic bone if you dont have the awareness of a navy seal jacked up on cocaine

fast otter
#

seel witch room you in

runic bone
#

all the other maps give me a headache

tawdry swallow
#

oh yeah @inner sentinel so part of that cycle is losing my stuff slowly over time. So I can't even grind this game slowly.

inner sentinel
#

same

pine nest
#

stuck on level 2

inner sentinel
#

I tried going IC solo as a pistolling,nope anytime I go out into the alleys I got dropped by a EOD chad with a supressed m4

runic bone
#

@pine nest wanna team up or? so we can feel eachothers pain

modest obsidian
#

can anyone help me i need to do some customs runs for scav kills and shotguns

inner sentinel
#

the only thing that I managed to succesfully do is shotgun a Chad and steal is GPU and stuff it into my alpha

runic bone
#

@inner sentinel wanna play together?

mighty oasis
#

Any 'experts' wanna help me run my first PMC raid

inner sentinel
#

I'm taking a couple hour break from tarkov atm,need to go outside and fet some fresh air,my PMC is on 5hp anyways @runic bone

pine nest
#

same

inner sentinel
#

game can feel extremely rewarding and incredibly frustrating

runic bone
#

@inner sentinel okay, sad

inner sentinel
#

beacuse even if you do everything by the book,be sneaky etc you still get tapped from some dark corner

kind night
#

@mighty oasis that's not good, the best way to learn the game is to get obliterated at the start

#

Just go in and see what happens

mighty oasis
#

i have multiple times lmao

#

i mean myy first successful one

kind night
#

Keep on doing it

#

Youll get it

sly warren
#

Is Gen 4 the cheapest Class 5 armor? I've been using Class 4 hybrid armor/rig and am thinking that was a mistake as this Class 5 armor is only a few K More.

kind night
#

If you have someone carry you you're never going to learn

naive lion
#

why do i bother playing this on my laptop GWbratWhy

kind night
#

@sly warren i think Killa is cheaper, im not a 100% sure tho

trim herald
#

@sly warren Tactec probably

kind night
#

or yeah Tac Tec

sly warren
#

Ohh nevermind, this isnt 20k. I was looking at damaged ones for 20k

jovial fractal
#

Does anyone know of a good, cheap way to get a 7.62 far more controllable?

kind night
#

although it doesn't protect stomach

trim herald
#

That's a good thing

kind night
#

@jovial fractal rubber pad, dong grip

jovial fractal
#

I went to 5.45 for the control but the rounds are failing to kill people in armour

pine nest
#

would be cool if Offline mode gave you some reduced experience for us lower levels

kind night
#

or tap fire, kekw

jovial fractal
#

Is getting a but of a pain

trim herald
#

@jovial fractal 7.62x39 or x51?

#

Oh, get BS ammo

jovial fractal
#

x39

kind night
#

@pine nest how is that cool?

trim herald
#

And it'll drop anyone

kind night
#

Just learn game

uncut socket
#

that would be broken

kind night
#

^

#

lame ass concept

trim herald
#

5.45x39 BS is legit

pine nest
#

cause it would give some goal

kind night
#

???

#

the core game has a goal

#

survive

pine nest
#

right now there is no reward cause I'm gonna run through my stuff

trim herald
#

@pine nest The goal is to learn the game šŸ˜„

kind night
#

no fun in fighting scavs

jovial fractal
#

Maybe ill try it, ive been using BT at the moment for 5.45

trim herald
#

Yeah BT is just not good enough

kind night
#

what rommel said

inner sentinel
#

are visors even worth it boys?

kind night
#

its normal to die a lot at the start

inner sentinel
#

yes

kind night
#

@inner sentinel not really

#

imo

trim herald
#

@inner sentinel If you have lots of cash, yes, otherwise not really

kind night
#

Just buy ulachs

#

cheap, effective

inner sentinel
#

I have 450k

trim herald
#

80k is cheap?

kind night
#

then dont buy any

trim herald
#

Bruh

kind night
#

@trim herald yes

#

80k is pretty cheap, lol

amber fiber
#

what to do when u are a retard and bring 0ammo

inner sentinel
#

I ran kolpak w visor a couple times but it doesnt seem effective

jovial fractal
#

I did like the AKMSN initially with a cobra sight, but I have the same issue on a 74N that most my rounds weren't on target when shooting at someone, despite only going for centre mass

kind night
#

Kolpak is a big no no

#

never use it

trim herald
#

It's not though, it's not worth unless you're running really expensive loadouts or have "fuck you" money

kind night
#

useless

trim herald
#

They'll very rarely save you

inner sentinel
#

whats a good helmet/rig then?

#

on a budget

kind night
#

If you scav in

trim herald
#

No helmet

kind night
#

and you have a kolpak

SSh-68 at most

kind night
#

it just takes away sound

trim herald
#

That's way better than most helmets when you're poor

inner sentinel
#

thanks

kind night
#

@inner sentinel avoid helmets that limit your hearing

inner sentinel
#

but most of the times I die from damage to the face/thorax tho

kind night
#

hearing in this game is huge

bold kernel
#

so i copied a aks build from wiki to match gunsmith part 2 but i cant turn in still

kind night
#

@bold kernel send pic

trim herald
#

Thorax is body armour, 6b3tm is best value body armour at lvl 4

#

@bold kernel wrong gun

kind night
#

@bold kernel also, fold it

trim herald
#

You need an AKS-74U, not UN

bold kernel
pine nest
#

Im getting single shot almost every time so hearing is not helping. First shot outta nowhere

bold kernel
#

i do have a U

kind night
#

fold it

trim herald
#

Fold it

bold kernel
#

i tried that

kind night
#

fold it and itll work

#

kind night

SR doesn't matter

#

specially if you're new

bold kernel
#

shoping list doesnt have a muzzle?

trim herald
#

No @rocky ocean

kind night
#

ignore it

bold kernel
#

or am i blind?

kind night

just play

rocky ocean

inner sentinel
#

gotcha

#

I'm really enjoying this game btw

#

but am extremely shit at it'

trim herald
kind night
#

@inner sentinel this is your first wipe, take your time. You wont be good

trim herald
#

Definitely has a muzzle on it

kind night
#

It takes time

#

youll get it

rocky ocean
#

in which case can i store grenades??

kind night

ICase

inner sentinel
#

thanks for the kind words

tall osprey
#

can anyone teach me reserve

kind night
#

or T H I C C

trim herald
#

No grenade cases atm

bold kernel
#

@trim herald , was it you that suggested me to rush Power on Shoreline for the kill scavs quest? It's almost impossible to survive, theres always at least 4 people also converging there

kind night
#

@tall osprey no

tall osprey
#

ok

kind night
#

@bold kernel go in at night

#

with a mosin

#

Avoid trouble, take it easy

bold kernel
#

@kind night I need to kill with AKM

trim herald
#

@bold kernel Then you're being slow, or more people took my advice. I've done it for 30+ raids without seeing anyone until after I was past it, having killed all the scavs already

kind night
#

Oh

novel ridge
#

how do you choose hipfire vs ads

kind night
#

Then take Akm

#

@novel ridge you dont aim?

#

lol

#

wdym

novel ridge
#

no no

bold kernel
#

@trim herald I full sprint all the way thru but sometimes I simply spawn at the edge of swamps for example

flat kayak
#

what maps would you guys recommend for someone new? I ve had a few hrs on customs and know they layout but i usually die before managing to extract if i even get something worth extracting

novel ridge
#

situationally

bold kernel
#

no matter how much I run I get flanked as soon as I kill the 2 scavs

novel ridge
#

like when would you hipfire over ads

kind night
#

@flat kayak costums for quests interchange for money

#

@novel ridge ohhhhh

trim herald
#

@bold kernel Where do you get flanked from? You on the hill with the power pylon?

inner sentinel
#

@flat kayak factory is good to practice CQC movement and spatial awareness

kind night
#

Ads medium / far / cqb if you have time

trim herald
#

Factory is awful

kind night
#

Hip to surprise people, if being rushed

trim herald
#

The only thing you learn is how to play Factory

flat kayak
#

yeah i think ill give interchange a go

kind night
#

^

bold kernel
#

@trim herald I always go inside power go kill the scav that roams there, I am supposed to not go inside Power and stay outside?

trim herald
#

Correct

#

Don't go inside

fiery fractal
#

I mean on factory I drop people. When it comes to the larger maps I just flip over dude

final nebula
#

would anyone be willing to help me? i need a bit of coaching

trim herald
#

Shoot them from outside, then move on

bold kernel
#

How do I go on the other side then, gas station? North?

kind night
#

@fiery fractal dont play other maps exactly like factory

#

Factory theres a meta to it

#

certain angles

trim herald
#

Go north and cross just before bus station, then push down and out by tunnel

kind night
#

thats why if you play so much you clap homies all the time

trim herald
#

Careful at luxury houses

vague sparrow
#

anyone wanna help me learn interchange if so dm me

kind night
#

not here

bold kernel
#

Bus station? You mean gas station? But thats south

trim herald
#

No

#

I mean bus station

bold kernel
#

Wheres the bus station?

trim herald
#

You go north from the power plant, cross over

fiery fractal
#

I mean you’re right. I sort of run around on the other maps a lot and try to find people
