Thats all i wanted to know thank you both

mark key keep or sell
Depends on how much $ you have
Keep if you'll run marked, otherwise sell
Keep if you're gonna run the room
@rare escarp I keep them. Marked room is a great stop on customs.
If you need $ then sell it...if you want to use it keep
Same thing for literally any key in the game honestly
^
You can just rebuy if you change your mind later
going dorms makes my arm pits wet tho

lmaooo
@mossy meadow also im ditching these said friends because they use me as bait so they can escape... so maybe dont be so quick to judge
Just bought the game, anywhere I can meet players to group with?

how could i put 2 scopes on my M4A1 ? what part do i need to change from stock to be able to put 2 on
I tried that already, will try again
yea?
i saw streamers where they have a long scope they click somethin and change to a close range scope?
You mean a canted back up sight
Either can use something like the Bravo/HAMR optic which is a zoom optic with red dot mounted on top....or need the NcStar canted optic mount to add a canted red dot and then a zoom opic
@bold kernel Lots of options. On my M4s I prefer having an acog with red dot on top of that.
@hard spindle IF it doesnโt work can PM the @ contact moderator bot for help.
are sherpas only for showing how the game works?
Got it, for some reason it didnt select the rules one
A scope is a long range zoomed optic lol
@bold kernel HAMR let's you swap between optics
@celest condor whats the red dot called?
You can put any small reflex
Of course @waxen forge has the better answer. Most people use the MPR45
Or you can use the ncstar as a canted
You need a nc star mount
there is no box to store armor and other big stuff?
hi, is there an official LFG for this game?
@mossy meadow icase and thicc items case
THAT IS THE acog i USE ON MY m4S
Yeah accept the #521628660298678283 and go to #pvp-lfg
Too bad acogs suck in this game
@strange quiver Go to #521628660298678283 and #news-setup so you can get the PMC role and see all of Discord. IF it doesnโt work can PM the @ contact moderator bot for help.

No but okay
@steady pilot wym can't have 2 scopes?
4x acog chad
LOLLL
Should have much more fov
mil base check point key?
What about it.
It's a key, correct.
keep or sell
Sell unless you're going to use it
Just as the answer is for every other key in the game
i tried acog couple of times, use valday for that purposes since then.
Vudu best
Ugh valday
Valday dookie
Hey...I like Valday
Makes you lose half your frames
valday bad

wdym frames/
valday imagine only being able to zero to 200m
You're married to Shoot?
Mrs. shoot

Nyar would
ryan shouldnt you be at work
^
@steady pilot I use it mostly because I like how it looks on the gun ๐
I am well past using the best possible gear ๐
Flex did DM me though, and I suggested the BRAVO because it is easier ot build and probably better.
Bravo vs HAMR I choose HAMR
You have a bigger bullet though ๐
I choose elcan
bravo trash
Over all 3
do you not mean A E S T H E T I C S
I never liked the elcan because of the iron sights on top.
Elcan is great if you're poor AF
Adds a click when swapping sights
Swapping sights, not magnification
^
It's the same click as swapping sights
I swear it used to go optic, iron, back-up sights...
No you just zoom and unzoom
If you run it with a canted you have to go through the top irons
And then other buttin switches to that iron
okay I know I am old, didn;t think senile old yet ๐
oh, i just understood that low sidemount works on vepr 
Well
how about the 1x sensitivity though ?
I never liked toggling the zooms, never felt right. Even with the Valday, which I know is pretty good.
That's the main reason why I really like the HAMR, you don't get the sens issues
I don't have any of these sens issues you guys speak of
Now you making me buy money. Gonna buy an ELCANB and try it in shooting range.
The vudu and tac30 have slight sens issues
Is there any real difference between all the AK bodys?
And hensoldt and other highpwpers are reallyslow
@karmic meadow Yes, but very minor
Then what would be the god tier of AKs and trash tier, if you had to pick
@karmic meadow N stands for night optic, just means there a dovetail mount. S stands for paratrooper or folding stock. M means modernized
@karmic meadow Biggest things you should know. The 74M and N and 100 series have dovetails.
All ak100 series are dovetailed and folding stocks
And yes the S mean smaller, which means more recoil.
What no
Sorry english is not my main tongue and I have no clue what a dovetail is
S means folding / wire stock
mount on side of the gun
so I can directly place a scope/handle
allowing to use PSO scope and some mounts to add a rail to top of your gun
I see
Dovetail is another rail system. Basically
Multiple ways to mount optics
Enough ways to make your head spin....
so it's just enough to be annoying, either I want to run a PU scope which are generally a hassle to use
or I have to switch the whole thing anyway
PU scope? Like the one used on the mosin?
Yeah I'm assuming it's this one
Hey when i click update in the launcher, nothing happens
I looted a Zenit B-33, thought i'd use this
Anyone know why?????
PU scope is only for mosin
Is it already updated?
@indigo brook #community-support
@steady pilot just tried the ELCAN in firing range. The zoomed in is too sensitive for me.
Basically the issue is that when you zoom (change FOV) with multiple zoom sights the turn rate does not change. So move your mouse the same amount and you character turns the same amount. Makes it difficult to use these scopes when the FOV/zoom changes.
At least for me and a lot of others. You can regularly see topics on reddit about this.
Also what would be an ammo type you'd always run on an AK
Something that doesn't betray
5.45 BS, 7.62x39 BP... But it gets pricey.
Just so I stop asking for what would be a good type every two days lol
I dont have issues lol
For me, 5.45 I will use BP- BT - BS. BS is being the best. For 7.62x39 PS - BP, with BP being best.
!wiki ballistics
Ballistics are an important part of Escape from Tarkov. They play a big role in firefights and often determine the outcomes. Choosing the right weapon, ammo and gear is one of the most important parts in coming out on top of fighting.
All the data displayed below is the product of NoFoodAfterMidnight. This page is aimed at spreading the knowledge he uncovered, and making it easy to understand for new players.
Anything about sensitivity or sv98 trigger delay 
Wouldnt you rather take 5.45 BS for PVP?
of course ammo is opinion based, to a degree. So best is to look at the charts and decide for yourself.
I wouldn't bother with anything less than BS, there are other platforms that perform WAY better than BT or BP in a 5.45 if you want to be cheap on rounds
5.45 BS all the time when I get to the point I can afford it.
For example a Hunter with M80
So BS 5.45, reliable, not too costy.
There is no opinion base for ammo. It's good or it's not lol
The BS 5.45 rips in my exprience
Obviously
costly is individual opinion of course.
Thanks, I'll stick with that for now, see how it goes for me
bams, what AK bodies are you talking about? AKMS is very differrent that 74's and the Veprs again.
Cheap gun is okay. Cheap or ineffective ammo will get you killed, making you lose more money in longrun
Was just wondering in general, I've got a few AK-74M/N and 100 variants I'd like to custom a little bit, to get a grip on modding guns
@steady pilot There is some wiggle room. Lots of people will argue 7n39 is better than BS because of better pen. Or flechette is better than 8.mm for buckshot fans. Can make an argument that copper slugs are better than AP-20 because of better accuracy...
So there is some preference involved.
I like using the 105 and 74m
can we do a begginer quiz
I've never seen anyone argue that Igolnik is better than BS
but if I find others ill just mod and use them probably
Igolnik is ass
Over pen
3 bullets to kill chest and 2 to head
545 bs literally does it better
No one wears lvl 6 armor so its irrelevant
Why not?
Most people i talk to says igolnik is best. This discord is only place I have seen different. Reddit seems to slowly be coming around as well. Most people, at least used to, look at just the penetration.
I saw one guy using level 6 once
bams, The differences between those are minor but the 74n is the best 74n. I can't remember which 10x is the best
The fuck type of plebians do you speak to?
didnt really think about it
Stop referring to reddit
Seen similar debates about M80 and M61. At least before the M80 nerf
@steady pilot I agree, most users there are idiots.
Then it's not a relevant source lol
Regardless
545 is 2 bullets to kill chest and 1 to head
I still see people saying flechette is better than 8.5mm buckshot. All because of penetration.
Igolnik is 2 to head and 3 to chest
I use shotguns for 1 reason. When the tasks forces me to.
I'd say Flechette is better than buckshot though
545 pens lvl 5 and hardly struggles with lvl 6, and destoryd lvl 5. Igolnik is good for lvl 6 which no one wears.
For sure
Igolnik is slightly better against class 6 armours though. but you rarely go against class 6.
off topic guys, help new players
@steady pilot we agree... But there are others that are not as smart as us ๐
ask something and someone will probably help you lol
why does no one go with level 6?
@night crag cause they are overpriced or repair like shit
Lvl 5 does fine
And much more available
@night crag It's expensive at 330k or so for armour that you need to replace after you've been hit two or three times
I think that's what I just said ๐
6b43 is slows as hell
is there lvl 1 armour
hey, is there controller support?
any way to do it through3rd party or steqam?
how can i level up to 5 quick
You have to make certain buttons act like a key. Like a macro
I honestly thing this game would be a mess with a controller. Too complicated controls to dumb down for controller
so when do i get a hud? i start with no reticle?
He probably has a disability
@icy cosmos There are people playing on controller. No idea how to set it up so you would need to dig for info on it.
ive had one succesful pmc raid where i killed a hatchling and 1 scav and examined but now i just keep dying
Tarkov giveth. Tarkov taketh
@icy cosmos Very limited HUD, NO crosshairs.
^
You're going to have a rough time otherwise
Hardcore game
good loadout?
If you go to game setting and click on "Always show interface elements" it will keep HUD elements up all the time. But it is VERY limited and les than you expect in other games.
@fallen hollow it's not good, but its cheap
you dont need so many mags for adar
whats the best starting map
shoould i take the 20 round mags out
I'd leave behind the little mags and just bring a 60 stack of ammo
what level 5 armor should I get?
@fallen hollow eh its fine
@fallen hollow Hopefully it's 855A1 ammo in those mags
If it's something like 855 you're having a bad day
@fallen hollow thats pk06 on adar?
its between mechanical sights
you wont even see it
what sight should i use
@night crag Killa armour (6b13M) is best but pricey. Or at least best imo

Buy a vepr 136 and some PS ammo
ah ok
855 will just leave you incredibly disappointed when even scavs tank 20 rounds
I like the gun that my player scav has whats the safest map to extract on
how much should i sell it for
i have a labs key up for 200k right now and its been there for like 2 hours lol
there selling for very cheap atm
Its not
It's cheaper than trader
It's just not prime time right niw
So have I
i want a refund
Anytime I'm home. At 7pm central it sells immediately cause that's prime hour 7-10
@bold kernel there are no refunds, should have read the bold letters lol
You can't have one
games garbo
No, you are garbage at the game
reminds me of dayz
and they stole their soundtrack from Gunz The Duel
How long did you play?
look up gunz the duel soundtrack, total rip off
they ripped it off because they know you cant sue russian companies
So?
i can't find a sight for the AKS-74U
theres music in the game?
might be because i haven't unlocked flea yet
yeah
he is not totally wrong about the current state of the game. There has been a huge influx of new players that messed up the servers.
i think i turned it off instantly then lol
@celest condor His argument is that it's P2W and garbage
it played some heavy metal shit when i first joined
eod is only 0.1% p2w
i gotta say i never muted a games music that fast
yo, look up Gunz the Duel soundtrack and tell me that aint a straight rip off, smh

how long would it take standard edition player to upgrade his secure container to EOD level ?
For sherpa
Depends on how good at looting they are
@bold kernel however long it takes you to do quests
And if they loot the right things
just refresh fence until beta container pops up?
Ah... So I was close.. ish... Did I not mention I was an idiot? ๐
i wish i was a big streamer so i could get EOD for free, but im just a poor russian peasant
Lmao
Streamers don't get EoD for free but ok bud

false
PrEsS KiT
this game needs a /kit starter
no
not really
it doesnt
and it should give you a m4 and RPG
it has the scav
You start with 300k and a bunch of stuff
which is like kit starter
Get a Sherpa for a free M4
hey guys, if im a scav and I kill a player scav who has aggro from AI, will the AI aggro on me?
scav has a timer tho, what kinda mobile bullshit is that?
no you start with 250k
Because its free kit

@keen orbit learn interchange for money
@keen orbit Cache runs on Shoreline are safe and easy cash. Also run offline to learn scav behaviour and maps
go offline mode for easy knowledge
whats the lowest scav refresh time with the hideout upgrades
i wish i could learn reserve but it looks scary
12 min maybe, @peak wing
10?
Something like that
I don't run scav enough to notice
kk thx
In that ballpark
i found this helmet that was made of plastic that had a armor level 5 visor on it
is there a way I can pay to decrease my scav timer? like clash of clans?
No
dude
so is there anyway to kill a hostile player scav, as a scav, without drawing AI aggro?
esp on factory
@peak wing No, not reliably
Also don't scav on factory unless you want to literally just fight everything
i saw some chat saying if u got shot first, it wont trigger AI aggro
It's not reliable
^
@peak wing Technically if you get shot by a player scav and take damage in theory you can kill them and won't agro the scavs...HOWEVER on factory it's so close quarters and most everyone shoots on sight it's not best idea
ah
Also factory is not a beginner map. It is not representative of how to play EFT.
shoot everyone unless there is a legion of scavs or you're playing with team
uhm suddenly matching taking years again, was instant queues a second ago

@agile raft it's going to be intermittent for a while man. Get used to it
can someone send a good map of shoreline that shows stashes and what not
!wiki shorline
and is there any 100% way to tell scav from pmc? obv pimped out gear forsure but what about the budget pmcs
!wiki shoreline
pants or something
you can tell when they die
do scavs loot?
just visual, not actions
or do they just shoot and walk around
@peak wing All players, PMC or player scav will have a "pouch" slot on thier body. Only way to be sure ๐
also scavs yell when they get hurt usually
@peak wing pmcs will have their specific clothing and dog tags. Scavs will have crappy bum clothes. Player scavs have a container slot.
but that might be a voiceline or whatever
of course lots of way to to figure out while aliove like they are saying too of course.
out of curiosity, did you guys buy a lucky box scav or a weapon case first?
Its AI scav 99% of time if they are yelling
Lucky scav box first.
Quick question. What helmet are people referring to as the penis helmet?
that's how i tell the difference between pmc and ai scav
Ssh @nocturne flax
they rush and yell
Thanks

why is it called the penis helmet
Anyone playing with RX580 + Ryzen 5 3600? how does it run in 1080p?
Oof amd
honestly as a noob, scav runs at factory is clutch for building up gear/$. no aggro on AI, just pmc hunting and scavenging bodies lol
amd isnt bad wym@steady pilot
dont ask me how i skipped over that after digging for three days

@ashen drum it should run gud
thanks @steady pilot
ice running customs and just going dorms is really profitable too
@ashen drum i have that build. no issues at low-med optimized settings
because a lot of geared people fight there and die
^
NO gear on the map.
i always do dorms as pmc but always get ambushed
Could someone help tell me where on the map I am on shorline
Scav on interchange is best
either going in or coming out
ice just stick to the outside then
Can make way more money selling tech/hardware than gear and tech/hardware takes up way less space in a backpakc

!wiki shorline
tried to ambush a team, they waited in silence for 10m. thought they left. went up stairs and in and they were there peaking the whole time ><
i was about to ask for anything relted to lfg
Use scav on a map that actually spawns loot...then sell the loot and use money to buy gear
Customs is also not a loot map
scav interchange is fun but i feel any pmcs ull see will be decked

whats a good budget build? heard mos + the sniper ammo is very effective on a budget
full pen and big dmg on hits
Why does losing internet connection kick you out of the map 
it doesn't
you can recconect harkoth
who wants to play???
Yes
unless you got killed
But it kicks me out of the map
Well yeah.
@karmic meadow it kicks you out at slightlest drop in internet
Yup I had that issue before swapping ethernet cables
couldn't play more than 2 mins without getting kicked
And it no joke takes me 8 minutes to load everything
It's an online only game. Kicks you just the same as Destiny would
Ok well it still happens
Stoopid laptop
im using PS bullets on my ak-47N whats the best bulelts for this gun????
It also sucks to load in for 8 minutes only to find out you died
No even close

you talking to me gramsta
You get what you pay for
!wiki shoreline
i used to use tracer rounds lmao till i saw a streamer destroy a guy using em cuz he gave away his position lmao ๐คฃ
@unreal tulip yes
Yes @cursive birch BS is the best
they aren't on this map i found
There should be a map there that has all the locations @unreal tulip
@bold kernel no
i found a map
thought as much, thank you
@unreal tulip look at the wiki map. There is one that shows all stash locations
you just need to scroll down
this one?
yep
yes there are
I've found 4, so....
They arent on that map
There are 37, and none are marked on that map
^
I loaded in just in time to be shot lmao
told u
did i get muted or something?
They are however marked on the map @wicked sphinx linked
Customs is ass
no
It's way too bottle necked and poor loot
it gives good loot from players and scav
@steady pilot customs is great
i've played for 3 days
any tips for customs?
and i've come to the conclusion that killing one guy and dipping is better then going to anything else and dying
is customs a try hard map?
if you head to dorms yes
sometimes they got scavbp
There are plenty of try hards on customs yes, as with any map
That's also not good loot
for me
Geared people like to shit on new people there
Play Factory, it is much easier than customs
The only reason you think it is, is because Customs SUCK for loot
Factory is the worst map you could play
Shoreline you can make it out with 200+k consistently with no risk
When aiming what do i press to steady aim? @steady pilot
@lilac dawn alt. I changed to shift.
L Alt
@steady pilot For beginners it's incredibly easy, and I personally find it fun
last time i played shoreline i got sniped by a scav
where does i find a person to carry me in tarkov
lol @analog depot
factory is poo
@steady pilot How come that I can't win customs but can win Factory?
i like shoreline till u gotta cross gas station lol
@tardy quiver It also has shit loot, and you don't learn how to play Tarkov on Factory. You learn how to play Factory on Factory
i went there and lost most of my starter gear
@austere monolith wot i got the game saturday
I see beginners go there, come in here and be like I lost all my gear. Oh really what map did you play? Factory.๐คท
The skillset is not transferrable to the rest of the Tarkov maps
do you ever get the chance to use a face mask in this game? along with a helmet I mean
i was playing factory then i realised
Factory is a stupid map to start off on as a beginner, do not recommend
Factory is in no way representative of the game. It is EFT COD
@karmic meadow You can use a momex under a helmet sure
Cosmetic
that is a halloween mask
@steady pilot disagree. Dont listen to this guy.
You can't
Cant use armored masks with helmets
So does a visor
Use a helmet with a visor, mutch better than a mask
Y'all cool asf ty.
Just sell it
so on interchange is it considered to be an asshole if i run in there grab shit put it in alpha and then disconnect?
Tfw people think a lvl 3 visor does anything...
Yes
Factory is unforgiving but it IS the place you will be forced to engage in fights and learn gun mechanics. Other maps you just hide in corners and loot which donโt make you better at the game
Bring a pistol or gun, and run the map
Ama just refund eft as I can't even start up the damn game...
okay then i wont do that
how do you change scope magnification without leaving ads
@timid wadi And you learn how to play Factory
@lofty shuttlealt rmb or ctrl rmb
The skills are not transferrable
alt+right click @wraith pagoda
As you play it completely differently to ANY other map
@unreal tulip Wait, you can just put items in and disconnect, and keep them? Or do you still lose them
there is a video were a guy is promoting hatchling on interchange and in the video he runs in there and shows you to disconnect with the stuff in his gamma
@unreal tulip you can do that, but if u dont get any good loot and u dont bring a gun in, youโll lose money on healing yourself after
@analog depot no refunds
Do not do that go win
which is dick move
For fucks sake
@steady pilot it makes me leave ads every time is there a way to do it while still aiming? maybe im retarded but it wont let me
Itโll take your health to 1% and itโll cost you almost 12k to heal yourself up
Which is why they give you 1% health if you die with no weapon
Shit like that is a cancer on the game @unreal tulip and will effect everyone else
@lofty shuttlerebind it to mouse 3 and 4?
i got shot in the head before but my entire body got damaged back at the menu
how does that make any sense
you fell really hard and woke up in pain
Donโt do it especially if you donโt have the Gamma container @unreal tulip
on shoreline, i assume the admin/east/west wing is the hot part of the map?
Damage radiates to the rest of the body
@unreal tulipbecause they give normal deaths 30% hp and disconnects teamkills 1%
@peak wing Gas station, Weather station and resort are the hot spots
@unreal tulip if you die in a raid your health goes to 30% in menu
@steady pilot thank you!!
i got a support ticket cuz the game crashed but it doesnt even fucking start up
Sometimes the game doesn't start correctly
resort i assume is the top middle part of the map on the link u posted?
Or poor cpu
with admin/east/west wing?
Yes
@tardy quiver i litteraly had to reset my whole pc twice
i had both extracts there one time rip
cuz the game kept on infinity loading
@analog depot and what are your specs
2600/1050ti
@steady pilot I have a pretty good CPU, 16gb of ram, and 150 or more gb free, don't see a problem
I generally have to force close my game several times each time I restart my pc before it runs properly
i ran the game yesterday without problems
now theres this update and it refuses to even start up
Usually at least twice before it loads into menu, and at least twice more before I can get the hideout to work without crashing me
@tardy quiver yea man i usually have to restart the game a few times. youre not alone. also i have 32 gb of ram and plenty of room left. its not your pc its the game
After that is' fine
There have been server issues ever since literally 1million people bought the game out of hype and there servers was .merely handling 50k people
@steady pilot why you link that channel?
@stone knoll Tarkov isn't really considered a polished game lol
Cause they announce the servers crashing and shit for last 2 weeks
polished as fuck compared to like pubg lol
Because of twitch hype
Nah Delta, this has been an issue since .12 for me. It's the current build, not the influx of servers
But it's a beta so
I had zero issues
the item database and linked search engine is gosu
Except day 1/2
@tardy quiver nope not at all for a game thats been out since 2015 it should be way more stable
fortnite?....
They keep adding new code and new code breaks old code
They literally just updated the engine to a new one this patch?
still in beta runs like a dream
You comparing this game to Fortnite?
Fortnite is a much much more simple game than this
That word is forbidden in the gamer community @stone knoll
The fuck?
Fornite has like no codes lmfao!
This game is so heavily coded on a shitty engine its literally a miracle it runs
not comparing the game just comparing the fact they still in game preview
If it was on an Unreal it would've been SO MUCH BETTEr
Fornite has 5 codes compared to ETFs 1000+
It would be more stable but iunno if it had been better
It's a simple as shit game
do the devs have a big past games track record or is this their debut
This is their first really big game
@peak wing I think this is their debut
!wiki shoreline
They had contract wars before this
gotta spend some of that 1mil players x $50 on a team upgrade lol
Yeah no
They are operating as max capacity
You don't replace the team that's made the game so far ๐
Maybe you'll hire more, but not replacing people
upgrade not replace
hey
Also consider this is a small studio. They don't have Dice/Rockstar resources. As someone who has played for 2 years the game has developed and I have no complaints. Yes it needs work but I believe they will continue to improve.
They are a dev team of 100 and completely full
wait can you send the shoreline stash map again?
how i play this game
shit
@waxen rock youtube pestily
thanks
@waxen rock First thing to do is RESET EXPECTATIONS. Doesnโt 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 doesnโt work can PM the @ contact moderator bot for help.

yea i honestly cant wait until its finished or even close to being finished
with all the big streamers jumping on, revenue must be skyrocketing exponentially lol
Honestly, it's a really fun and unique game
imagine if china hops on
Probably already did @peak wing
i see it as a logical transition from pubg
@steady pilot I mean it's fine now, but I too can't wait for all the maps to be out and the sound to be better etc etc
Minor inconveniences
no china hackers so far so i dont think theyre on
lol ok
I enjoy it as it is, it can only get better from here
^
hows the anticheat
no
battleeye is pretty good
@steady pilot As I said, I think the game's good at the moment, I just think it'll be way better once it's finished
thats all i was saying ^^
gonna run shoreline stash run
any other good teaching streamers other than pestily?
I think it's the "Install" he's helloing about
DeadlySlob, Markstrom,
veritas is one of my favorites
i'm using 2 maps for this
@pliant plank You should be able to choose install directory somewhere, try to set it to where it's installed manually
As a result of a critical bug, we roll back the previously installed update. If you downloaded it, the game will be updated through the launcher @news
because i'm a bad orientater
Yeh
blegh
game is 10gb
You download more when you download maps
As you play you download more stuff
whats the majority of pmc engagement do u guys feel? majority hot spot loot campers or do yall run into a bunch just through the forest and stuff
๐คท
is there a best choice for chemical part 4 anyone?
Preference pick what you want
@peak wing Shoreline? Or?
just in general. some streams i watch, they never find other pmcs
@opaque dirge depends on who you have at Royalty and who you want to get to royalty honestly
Helmet is ass
pmc on shoreline is that good?
Regardless
with shotgun
No
No
Op sks also a good cheap pick with pso
@peak wing I don't often find campers honestly, usually when I find PvP it's because I run into someone who is going somewhere, or the other way around. Not counting fights around high value loot objectives
OP sks is also worst 7x39 rifle. Ak103 is better for same cost
@unreal tulip i wouldn't go shoreline as a beginner
what about a mosin
ah thanks. when i first started i was paranoid of looking at every tree in forests. now i just stroll through relaxed lol
Mosin is fine because 7n1 claps
i'm doing shoreline run to get some cash
Sv98 better
I have killed many of juicy boys with the op sks just hit your shots
@steady pilot no its not
Yes it is
how
It cost 25k and sniper mosin is 30k
Donโt buy the new bullets they to over priced
@peak wing When people start they tend to believe that any time they die it's due to campers, when it's actually rather rare. Unless it's @steady pilot who kills you. That guy only camps
Sv98 suppressor cost 25k and bramit cost 40k
its a lot louder and you cant top load
what the difference between mosin inf and normal?
mosin is better
Sv98 has mags , 40 ergo, available rail
stop spreading opinions as facts to new players
Scope @unreal tulip canโt scope inf.
I'm literally posting facts
what
sv98 is not better than mosin
Is the m4a1 space trooper worth buying then selling from mechanic?
so i can't do anything with this mosin
Sv98 is better than mosin
mosin is good @unreal tulip
well i guess atleast i wasn't the one who paid for it was the scav i killed
@stray frigate No iirc
@trim herald iirc?
anyone want to play??
what scope to yeet on my mosin
@stray frigate If I recall correctly
k thx ๐
@unreal tulip PU is standard
i don't imagine much beginners are hitting long ass snipes
@valid cairn Clearly you're not a very proficient sniper
You donโt have the scope yet
Sv98
- cost 25k
-40 ergo
-140 recoil
-has mags
-rail ready to mount optics
-suppressor is 25k
Mosin
-30k
-5 ergo
-180 recoil
-suppressor cost 40k
-need kochetov mounting
-internal mag with only 5 rounds and loses a round everytime you press R
@trim herald I can send you some clips when I get home lol
@trim herald you must be one of the guys that snip with a vss
M855A1 OR M856A1 for m4
Snipe*
Mosin
400k
-35 ergo
125 recoil
Suppressor cost 60k
Needs 2 NF 34mm scope rings
@stray frigate both are pretty bad bullets tbh, but 56a1
M855A1 is minimum round
!wiki sixpack

Not the correct result? Use !wiki page sixpack for a direct link.
Hey leave my vss alone pls
I hate the vss
M855a1 and m995 are only 556 rounds you should use if you want a good time
VSS is litty, just not for long range sniping
Close range yes
@valid cairn No, I don't snipe with a VSS. But I also know a lot of people who do a LOT of sniping. Pretty sure Tower got a 900m kill the other day
I canโt snipe with that thing
And literally no one who I know is good at sniping, thinks zero'ing is pointless
Including myself
Vss is god tier for penetrating geared boys with spp or sp6 with a gun that has zero recoil and sounds like a mouse fart
I want some more customizations for the vss tbh
vss is meta
@trim herald uhh Deadlyslob Veritas???
veritas is an asshole
vss is gangsta cqc
share ya vss build?
@trim herald they donโt care about zeroing
I was very clear dude
@trim herald I am very clear
vss build? you can barely put any parts on it, all you need is scope and vss
Yup
i like the 2x personally,
Just an optic
Yโall rather vss or as Val?
VSS is half the price
Its 44 recoil and 50 ergo. Slap an optic and it drops geared boys like a sack of potatoes
I'll only use a val if i find one
For no reason, the round is way too fucking good
is the mp5 from the 8 knives trade any useful
Iโm not new I was jw
They buffed it
I know they did, I don't know WHY they did
@peak wing good for making money, collect scav knives and sell mp5
ive keep collecting the knives, done 2 swaps so far
Sp6 and spp are fine. BP is way too much but claps regardless
sp-6 and vss is meta
^
M700 with m61 is where itโs at
Oof
@rare lark Scavs or scav boss guards?
@rare lark what do you mean not take armor
what are the reliable cheap full auto options
Head shots
know where the scavs spawn
since we went through the longe range ones
Donโt matter
@peak wing AK but the ammo is expensive
Sure
can anyone help me by letting me livestream and you telling me what to do with my stash cause its a complete mess atm
So I'm running into this weird bug... I'll die a couple dozen times and all of a sudden I'll be crying myself to sleep in the fetal position. Anyone else encounter that?
M80 is still best round for bolt actions
is full auto the way to go for cqb
For practicality
or shotguns and stuff
The same reason 7n1 is best mosin round and not snb
No Iโm serious lol I go for penetration
Cause it one shots chest
@rare lark You can't take extended fights with them, shot once then get behind cover. Try to reposition if you can. Treat them as if they were PMC's
Even tho m80 isnโt a bad bullet
hey guys does anyone want to do a run with me
@open wingGo to #521628660298678283 and #news-setup to unlock discord and be able to use #pvp-lfg. If you get a blue name you did it right. If for some reason it doesnt work, message the Contact Moderators bot for acess.
since i am broken af is there any way to make some cash out of waiting 15 min for the scav respawn character?
Or caches on Shoreline
Naked runs woooo
Caches on shorline or interchange are ez loot
How much is the red keycard worth
20+ mil
is the horde mode on interchange a real thing or is it just streamer theory
Is a military base checkpoint key any good?
@peak wing it's a thing
@peak wing It's a bug that happens occasionally
You'll know it when you see it
It was originally a bug that leaked from offline
I have a red key card unless you find it not worth
@bold kernel May want to extract dude
ah. have ppl guessed the % chances of it
Bsg asked if everyone liked it and consensus was everyone liked it and its still in game
Maybe if you run solo
@rare lark Eh, I don't think so but the later in the raid scavs spawn in the stronger they'll be. Just don't underestimate scavs regardless of where you are
I have triggered the neverending scav spawn on interchange before. Once killed almost 30 of them and had to leave because ran out of ammo.
I have as well a couple of times
They said scavs get harder as raid goes on
Worst one was when I was doing the stupid quest in white armour
i read online boss spawns are around 30-40%? is that correct
I just kept sniping them..they just kept coming. Never even was able to loot because they just kept coming
@peak wing Somewhere around there yes
@waxen forge I was stuck in the front of Oli, behind a shelving unit, and just had them keep swarming on both sides of it. Couldn't really take any fights as they ignore lvl 2 armour and just torso shoot you ๐
Yea it's nuts when it happens
Got 12 before I got flanked by a PMC
