Only time I was in the east was when I conquered Nyar
ok so i have the Grach and a P226, i know most wouldn't but which 1 to mod plz ?
Guys if I get 0.2 jaeger rep for loyalty lvl 2, and then do a quest to get negative jaeger rep, will I go back to loyalty lvl 1?
@bold kernel the one you like most, they shoot the same thing iirc
@trim herald you have a 95.6% chance to pen any t4 visor
7th amoree fought over Kiev and Kursk
That's why I'm asking hows Erwin feels about that
Oof
@wicked sphinx with what ammo? And are you telling me that high ricochet is the exact same as medium? Why have two separate classes then?
Oh hey rommel
@icy summit without me though
apsx
so performance is actually better with texture streaming i think if anyones wondering
Ayo, anyone available for a call to help me sort out my shit, what to sell, what to keep? @trim herald
Maybe you again? 
You just going by Nofoods spreadsheet? Pretty sure that only takes straight up penetration into account, not ricochet chance
You went of Vacation again?
Aldo, busy for now sorry
Fair enough brother
I mean yeah? Nyar. Can't do everything for them
this dude is telling people that 7.62x39 BP is bad and not worth using 7.62s at all and you're better off using 74s with BT/BS
how accurate is that lol
Not
cause it sounds like shit
BP for 762 has similar pen to bs and more flesh damage
slightly lower pen but more flesh damage and a lot cheaper
762 BP is stronk as fuck
And bt for 545 is a meme for poor people
50%... The 5.45 BS is better, so in that he is right, especially considering the differences in recoil. But 7.62x39 is nto simply bad. Both PS and BP are usable rounds and I have plenty of fun using the 7.62BP and never feel like I die because of the gun or ammo.
ok any tips on getting out of interchange safely? I always seem to get tagged exiting the mall to go to extraction
change floor
Clear your sectors
i usually survive using 2nd or underground to go to the exit of the mall
Dont take the obvious or predictable path
Like my last run I took the loading dock exit after grabbing just a bit of stuff and got hit after killing two scavs when I walked down the ramp. was it just too open of an exit to take?
@trim herald riccochet is based off glance shots not based off penetration chance. if you don't hit a round dead on the face shield that's the only time this counts.
@slim quest lots of ways in an out... My safest exits though are through the garage, typically. I go to the garage, out thte south end for Emercom, or one of the front exits for railway.
For emercom I go near the wall and follow the wall. For railway I cross the parking lot by using the trees for concealment, cross the first road, go north until I get past the scav area on the road and then head for exit.
@slim quest yes the loading dock is predictable
Those routes work very well for me.]
Most dangerous exit is likely down the ramps at loading docks...
@wicked sphinx So what are the calculations for ricochets? Do you know?
ok, didn't realize it was predictable. So I'm just looking for odd ways out of the building.
oof that sucks then that I didn't know that
again lots of ways in and out of the mall. Need to explore.
Guess some more offline runs are in order
Exiting through garage is probably least predictable and harder to camp
scav breach doors?
Be aware that people can get up on the overhanging roof from the mall overlooking the ramps
Yes Knox
People camp main entrances/exits and ramps
is horizontal recoil not a big deal in this game? in most games, it is more important to curtail then vertical recoil
fk that one scared me lmao
what the hell games do you play lol
also still level 5 but should I be using a helment on interchange runs
@forest steppe It is if you're spraying head, if you're spraying torso not as much
CYKA! SMASHES DOOR IN
also the exits can just get busy at times. Stay alert until you are out of the map I have ran into others exiting that map occasionally
@sour plume You can't compensate for horizontal recoil, you can for vertical. So in most games horizontal is worse than vertical
I'm alert at all times in this game, I'm a bit paranoid lol
Quick question, If you just joined the discord is there any requirements to unlock LFG?
@steady pilot exact;y
You have blue name so you are good to go @limpid agate
@slim quest with enough tiem in game you get complacent. Hell half the time I play this game I am watching TV or a moview while I play 🙂
@waxen forge My friend is tryna join
Hell I'm usually monitoring Discord and a stream while playing.
lol I'm far from that confident
@limpid agate Then he would need to 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. #pvp-lfg
between csgo, pubg and pretty much every cod ever, only certain guns in cod and most guns in cs actually have noticeable horizontal recoil, and in cs you can control it completely plus it doesn't usually exist until several shots into your spray
actually the thing I'm trying to combat right now is I get real shaky and on edge as I am heading to extract.
it's based off your ammo type and the helmet type and the angle of impact. @trim herald I cannot give a definitive % chance for ricochet because i don't know the formula used and assuming you are hitting someone in the face shield it's not going to be a glance shot.
and rust, the ak spray pattern is basically horizontal
early game helmet recommendations?
Noone
Penis hat
Or ssh
^
oh damn.... the red timer wasnt appearing as a scav on top of my screen and the raid ended like 5 mins after i got in T.T was looting
Helmets are a scam
Penis hat is good to spend money at ragman
Naahh
so they are something I don't really need unless I find good ones from players
Nyar is a scam
Youd spend more on costs than what it would save you
I really only wear helmets to protect from pistols and scavs
i didnt buy any helmet, you'll end up looting some in your raids, especially as a scav if you can find raiders or boss bodies, and i just use those i found like that
He's not protected me in Labs even once
Which is why I use the penis hat
What assault rifle would you guys recommend to start using after the AKM? I haven't really done a lot of quests and I'm still far from unlocking BP rounds from prapor, but I want something that can use better ammo against armor than the standard PS rounds. But then again the assault rifle in stock shouldn't be more than +-40k on flea
Fal
tbh I wouldn't wear a helmet early game
ak 74 variants
Any 545 AK if you want a cheaper rifle, but you'll want BS ammo from Flea. @weary badge
the ssh/untar have saved me a few times but probably not enough to be worth the money ive spent on them
Is shoreline worth it buying all keys for 2.5 mil? And just running all keys
Both clap pmcs rather effective and cheaply
vss true
Not really @lilac dawn
vss also hella fun when you re used to regular AR
suddenly free to shoot without noise
Range falls off though
Just buy a few of the good keys. And a lot of rooms are connected
@lilac dawn if it wasn't people wouldn't be doing it.
Its 40k for a suppressed gun that has no recoil and penetrates lvl 4 with ease
having a cheap suppressed high pen low recoil full auto rifle is pretty nice
slap an okp7 on this mofo and go full kgb
@trim herald BS rounds are like 700rub per round on flea, I can't imagine them costing that at prapor...
Thanks everyone for the suggestions
how many scavs are in dorm customs?
BS are like 500 something at prapor atm i think
I rock pso on vss. Even on interchange inside. Vss and pso claps
Depends if the boss is there or if its only the patrols
Only downside is the bullet speed. It's only around 300m/s
what is the difference between quick weapon reload and weapon reload?
Only matters past 75m
gotta have some downsides
@near coral quick reload drops the mag
Most engagements are under 75m regardless
it melts ppl down in melee with the shooting speed
It's still a 0.1-0.2 second delay before your round hits.
Stooppp
Damn
is a 6b13 worth keeping if its repaired to 37.8 points? heard under certain values it acts as a lower class
ahh ok thanks just downloaded the game wanted to make sure I know my key bindings before heading in @celest condor
anyone know the number of scav ais in dorm?
It varies
It will stop bullets the same. There just a higher dice roll that things will penetrate the lower the durability
not exactly like a lower class, but it is less effective the lower the durability gets.
infinity
@bold kernel i just had 6
when i go dorms they just dont stop spawning 
@near coral @dusky fractalGo 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.
ah, so it's not hard steps just slowly more sucky
alright, thanks knox and bud
@steady pilot will do
@bold kernel but also a boss can spawn in there with his 4(i think) goons
is it possible to upgrade from base to EOD?
@rich agate yes
how do i do that?
is there a way to know if the scav boss is there?
You just buy the next package at tarkov .com
Go to website and pay the difference
armour and penetration is pretty complicated in this game. Even the best I have been able to find about it is a simplified over view which was still pretty odd.
cool thank you bois
It subtracts your current edition price
@steady pilot Thanks for the headsup will do 🙂
@bold kernel more agressive and better geared than random scav, if you re a scav they are hostile from the start also
@dusky fractal If it drops below around 75% of new max it starts having a chance of not affecting bullets at all, put simply
alright, thanks @tiny laurel, gotta go do a quest there but i got a few keys too so hopefully nobody is there
Gl, itsa hot spot
If you want to read about it yourself.
was going to say, i remember reading it when i entered. but i missed the checkmark 😬
btw is there anything i can do to get more visibility in dark places other than bumping up my brightness?
Everyone has the issue
PepeHands
buying nvg, i believe there is a passive skill increasing it a bit also ?
@trim herald ah, cool thank you.
im on amd, wouldnt risk a ban on my account anyways, almost 70 euros is too much
I only have 100k FeelsBadMan
Cheating by using nvidia
Kekw
having to use nvidia to be able to see 👀
I"m old and I use no filters and can see. You get used to it.
AMD cpu. Fine. AMD gpu? Yikes. Nvidia has a better market there.
The game looks better without filters anyway
idk amd is starting to catch up to nvidia 👀
Game doesnt need filters
I like how the greyness really adds to the atmosphere
Imagine thinking Freestyle is cheating
People want fornite colors
If you have a eye disability fine
But otherwise you dont need it
color makes enemies easier to spot, most apex legends pro players bump up their digital vibrance to get more color
That is true, I don't need it, I'll still use it because it looks nicer
If you can see easier than me because of 3rd party that's an unfair advantage to people who are ignorant to it, that makes it cheating.
How do raiders spawn on Reserve? Like I know how to spawn them and where they spawn but do they just magically appear?
@bold kernelturnkng on alarm in shack next to white pawn
And I guess we all need to use calibrated monitors too?
I didnt change any settings on my monitor
Basically factory besides making it 144hz
CRT 800x640 only
I mean I actually have te hardware to calibrate my monitor from my photography days, but haev you ever used a calibrated monitor??? They are pretty dull.
and my monitor is only 60 Hz, 144Hz is an advantage I can't afford 😦 /s
crt for that sweet low input lag
also seeing through smokes
I mean when I finally upgrade my monitor again, I want super widescreen...
worth getting the "1ms" models, input delay can sometimes be crucial
damn 762 BP is 10x the price of 762 PS
But I am old, I was laying games when the argument was you did not need more than 30FPS because the human eye coul dnot see any more than that 🙂
Honestly, I would argue that me having a really good system gives me a WAY larger advantage over someone who doesn't than a slightly brighter game 😄
For good reason @amber saffron
yeah ofc
i wanna finish punisher quest line to i can unlock 762 BP
asap
so i can start using it
it’s always slightly more expensive on the flea, but when you buy 1000s, it adds up
I should probbably do punisher, but I simply don't wanna... So I pay more for boolets
Is there a bug with vendors selling random items for extremely low prices?
@amber saffron craft it in hideout
you can?
I got a 6B13 body armor from Fence (I think) for 2 Rubles; granted it had extremely low durability, but it seemed unintentional
oh workbench 3
You can sell that for a lot of money @nocturne flax
don't buy from fence....
Fence sells items that players sell to him. It was so low because of the low durability. @nocturne flax
yeah it's a lot better price wise, think it's one eagle gunpowder for 120 which is 350 per bullet
People need a sub 50% durability 6b armor for a quest. Cost like 300k sometimes
I'm probably just going to sell it back to him for 1700 Rubles
is the 762 BP more effective than the 545 BS?
545BS is pretty much better
true
How do i get gamma case lvl 2 and hm is it
Which can do it easier and faster? 545 bs.
so they’re pretty much as good as each other?
@steady pilot ?
@lilac dawn gamma is only obtained by EoD package
RAHHHH WTF IS THIS BULLSHIT
You can EARN a bigger container through tasks
You can get epsilon from prapor
Yeah but the 7.62mm guns SOUND better 🙂
You do prapor tasks and you can EARN an Epsilon container

Not the correct result? Use !wiki page secure container for a direct link or !wiki search secure container for a list of all hits.
i haven’t unlocked BS from prapor 4 yet. I’m still lvl 28. So i was thinking to stay with with the 762 BP when i unlock it from punisher till i reach prapor 4.
!wiki secure containers
Just buy BS from flea
Can only buy 150 for each prapor reset anyway.
it goes for a 200-300 roubles more doesn’t it?
@amber saffron just use good ammo regardless what you use. It will be life and death if you dont
yeah i learned that the hard way 
me modding guns for 200k and buying ammo for 50 roubles

Cheap gun is ok
It's more from flea which is why you should always try to buy stuff from traders (and level them up) but at the same time you can only buy 150 from Prapor for each trader cycle so You will have to buy from flea since 150 isn't enough
Cheap ammo is not
Because no one trusts me when I tell them to get good ammo reeee
yeah i do the other way around now
@trim herald i actually changed when you told me 
i was about lvl 6 or 7
buying m4 with m855

jus get a mosin 👀
You're the exception 😄
@steady pilot yeah im doing that rn to make some profit. When i make good amount of money i’ll think of upgrading my guns
I use the vepr km, m1a and the sv98
i used to use the 74n but BP just wasn’t doing the job as well as 762 BP
but i’ll be using it with Bs when i get some money
5.45 BP is the bare minimum acceptable round for me in the 5.45. It goes BP-BT-BS... BS being the best.
And I ignore the 7n39
It goes BS - BS - BS, anything else you should probably use a different rifle if you want to be effective
As you're fighting a massively uphill battle against anyone with armour
im gonna upgrade my workbench asap now
is it worth to just buy the stuff of flea?
to upgrade
I thought so but it depends on how much cash you have
It's only 2 bolts, 2 screw nuts...and you can buy the multitool from mechanic
To upgrade workbench to level 1
Level 3, Bud
Well then that's a whole different thing
so i can craft BP
(762)
i haven’t got a lot of money, got around 1.4mil
but i have bought multiple spare kits so i think it should be fine if i spend a bit on this
and it will help me in the long run
Looks like I will be saving around 30K on 120 rounds of 7.62x39 BP by crafting it.
compraed to buying on flea market.
yeah
which is why I’m really considering it
hi
yes I bough the gunpowder. To me not worth it. In the 2 1/2 hours to craft the ammo, I would rather just buy iot, play raids, and make more than that difference.
But crafting is cool too...
I was just crafting it while running other guns etc
You can use the crafting mostly for quests , as it's "Find in raid"
so for quest that requires item such as car battery hoes etc you can use to craft it
other then that 2 cables for ~30k to make 8 wires is probably most cost effective if you don't wanna do ammo
They did change time/items required for many things so maybe soon they will decrease the time for some items such as green powder in this case.
🤔
Don't see why they would though?
I dont find crafting very useful in it's current state
If flea market was mich more limited
Yes
Well, for example salewa and other medical things got changed 3 times
I kinda wish flea was locked harder or just removed and go back to the old way of finding everything 
hi all... i'm not understanding something. if i have weapon attachments in crates... they don't show up on the weapon mod screen? it all has to be floating in stash itself?
Crafting in my eyes, atm is for find in quest, and if you want from time to time to craft something like 8 wires that is ~90k from 20K
@barren meadow yes
making small profit then trading for icepick/case's etc and little by little making half a mill every 2h
I preferred before flea market
@steady pilot why on earth would they do it like that
i dont udnerstand why we would have crates for this stuff
Because it's a beta game
@barren meadow ye they won't show up increates/boxes/rigs have to be out in the "open' to show up
Use edit preset
If you use Edit Preset it doesn't matter if you have the items or not to show up in the drop down boxes as long as you have examined the items on flea.
Leave my flea market alone
Quality of life stuff has yet to come, this is a beta game. @barren meadow
also if you use preset you might not see every attachemnt if you haven't found it yet (examined)
so keep that in mind if you use preset, perahps go to market or traders and make sure you examine everything it will also give you exp.
More or less
what sight is good for a adar?
Whatever you prefer Gussy
Which is why I always say Examine every weapon and weapon part on flea to get fully functional Edit Preset
@steady pilot bud you're being kind of a dick. im asking if theres a specific balance reason why something like that might be that way. i have no insight into whether or not it has changed over many iterations to RESTRICT it now to this mechanic.
@fallen hollow remove front sight as it can block vision for some sights, in general cheapest+good stats is cobra because it removes -1% recoil, you can also add shade for +1 ergonomics
@steady pilot being like BREH IT SAYS IN BOLD BETA is unnecessary

@barren meadow I'm not being a dick what lmfao. I gave you an answer, you asked why, I gave you an answer. And pointed out that is beta and they made very apparent that this is not the final product. What you are playing now may not be how it will.be in the future, probably for the better end of things too
Of course no one can tell emotions over text and assume the worst
so you have specific insight that they plan to change this and the mechanic is unintended @steady pilot ?
Asking developer questions in a community discord LOL
im not asking a dev quieston, im asking if he knows something about it.
since he is insisting its unintended and a result of beta
Are all maps only 10 minutes now?
My insight is this is a beta game they are still actively developing game and quality of life shit is on least priorities while they get core stuff
right so you don't know then
Nobody does
this could be intended
gun presets is still very new in this game. Somethings will not be working as intended. it is already very improved in the past month.
so you do know?
it seems you just said you don't.
It is unliely that it is intended, but being so new we have no way of knowing
Because I can use deductive reasoning
I'd say the take away from this conversation is if you use EDIT PRESET and take the time to go into flea and examine every weapon and weapon part then you can add/remove parts to a weapon even if you do not have the items in your stash. So it takes the whole in a container thing out of the equation. Mod weapon was present prior to EDIT Preset even though they share some functionality. My guess is the Modding will go away and the Edit Preset will stay. @barren meadow
Just report it as a bug and get on with your day.
@digital carbon Temporary raid times
Interchange - 40min
Customs - 35min
Factory - 20min
Woods - 30min
Shoreline - 45min
Reserve - 45min
Labs - 40min
Thank you 😄
@timber dock it might not actually be abug. that's an assumption.
I've played since .07. I know a lot of the bugs and functionalities. They are adding quality of life stuff VERY slowly
They still haven't fixed eft huh
Idk why i saw people saying matches were only 10 minutes long..
How come all maps are not available?
Could be on scav runs
Just did a scav on Interchange, I had 13 minutes to do the raid....
is there a way i can get someone to help me learn more? like i have friends that play occasionally but i want someone to play with and help me D:
@manic swan They haven't been released yet
@manic swan they arent out yet.
@manic swan Maps with locks are still in development
Gotcha
@bleak beacon 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. #pvp-lfg

Not complaining just wondering. How are Queue times?
Maybe, doubtful though
EOD does not get any real advantages like that. Only real advantage for EOD are gamma nd larger stash.
Would be very surprised if any of those maps will be
It's early in US so seem OK from what I've heard. Figure will get worse as day goes on.
My scav I had to wait about 1 minute to get in. Was faster than expected.
Forget what servers I am on thouhg.
yall loaded into the game?
They have already stated that next map will be Streets of Tarkov and they hope to get it out in 5 months #eft-announcements
@celest condor you don't auto??
I don't...
I don't auto
best ammo for sks?
i thought it was advised to auto
7.62bp
thanks
Think they said choose more serves manually or auto
@waxen forge is there any guide that provides insight into what gzh TT bt bp etc are on the ammos. is it not that simple
I prefer quieter raids so I (normally) pick servers with longer matching times so I get less PMCs in the raid.
!ammo
Its simple
Nikita asked people to go auto to help with server loads.
!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.
It gives you dmg. And penetration and shows you how it interacts with armor
@celest condor Longer matching times tend to mean the server is busier though, not the other way around. Matching is finding a spot on the server for a map, not finding players for it
Current servers are not normal though. So at the moment longer matching times are created by server overloading..
This is not typical though.
So Rommel you are right, but only when servers are overloaded.
It has a How to Read part at the top
You compare dmg to a players health system. And penetration for their armor. That's it
Color coded showing ability to penetrate armor 1 - 6
it's kind of not the point of my question @steady pilot i'm looking for an understanding of what ppe gzy is vs ppt gzh instead of consulting a table every time. if i had a clue what the abbreviation was it would be nice
i often kill player scavs imidiately when they have two guns
Pretty certain it's always the same though Smurfman, or like Moscow 1 is like the least populated server in Europe (before twitch drops)
but most of the time other scavs turn on me
And I can assure you it is not, if you're not familiar with Europe
where they'vs got guns..
should i sell fuel 100 to the market? its flooded with 0 fuel items
@muted grail Or use in hideout
i can store quest items in special inventory while mid raid or does it go automatically there?
They're auto put there
ohhh thanks but will people ever find it though
because of all those zero fuel items
@trim herald, been doing this for over a year. Works for me. Whether placebo or not I will let you decide. All I know is that during typical server load (nto after wipes, before twitch drops) maps with 15+ second matching times were dead, 1-2 PMCs at most. Matching times <5s would load me into warzones.
darn
@celest condor So ever try one with 1 min+ matching times?
As that's what many servers in Europe had
And they were the REALLY heavily populated ones
9x18 mm PM PPe gzh 61 (flesh damage) with 7 Pen and 15 armor damage while 9x18 mm PM PPT gzh 59 (flesh damage) 8 Pen and 22 armor damge. Both have No chance of penetrating level 2 - 6 armor.
Again during typical loads.... I foudn anything with >30 or 40s matching times to be hard to match and find a game in. That is why I was selecting 15-20 second match times. Really long match times just never matched.
PPt Gzh has a decent chance with class 1 armor while PPe gzh is less.
I assume it was because servers were dead and nobody was on the map/time I was after.
Typically night interchange. Which was a really slow map right after labs came out and before hideout.
Other way around Smurfy. I can accept that there may be a sweet spot at around 10-20 sec matching times
whats the mount for the hk mp5
But really high matching times were always on the most populated servers
What do you do with T4 armor with 0 durability?
Sell to Fence
0/what?
Or check flea price and see if some sucker will buy it
0/47
@trim herald Just telling you my experiences. not saying my experiences are right or typical of other players. just worked for me and the dozens I have played with and taught to play this game....
.Everytime @split vapor calls me a bad sherpa, i cri a little bit
Could repair with Prapor and sell to Skier too.
Oof
Nyar when you starting woods?
@celest condor That's fine, I just can't see how that simple explanation holds up 😄 As I said, 10-20 sec could very well be a sweet spot
Nyar was born on woods
Sounds fun
Lol I'm eating dinner rn
So, you want to tag along for a trio, i assume?
If you don't mind
See Nyar, this is why I keep volunteering you
hey i have a question
can you use any extraction point or only the ones that show up when you press O
Do people actually look for durability when buying stuff from the market?
For instance the coyote helmet goes for 140k with both /40 and /75 durability
Rommel - some ungrateful git didn't answer my sherpa msges and put a low rating on me
Some do but they don't have traders leveled so you'd be surprised how much crap armor sells on there
my rating went down, i cri
I see
what two types of mosins is there ? cause i need the one i could put a pu scope on
infantry and sniper rifle
^
you need the sniper version
Hello and good day! I am less than a beginner, as I am just now trying to purchase the game. I registered a user account and have waited hours for a verification email. Is this expected? Or o I need to purchase the game prior to registering an account with BSG? That doesn't seem intuitive, but I will do so if necessary. Thank you in advance for any assistance!
ah ok ty

whats a good sight for the mp5
@blazing oar For CQC any x1 works, but i'd rather put a laser on this
Maybe Nyar bad sherpa after all
model and icon is up to preference
I will try that Budracin88
@icy summit How about one day maybe you teach me and my pals how to communicate in a squad
Boom instant x4 upvote ez karma
@icy summit how did you get the sherpa role
He bribed Nikita with vodka
Ive applied but no response so far
Hello chat!
I believe applications are no longer being being accepted @thin sentinel
I killed a guy with an as val, took it to the shooting range and I saw that the sight and the laser were pointing in different spots, when shooting it it was off.why?
@waxen forge I've applied about a week ago
@slate mesa Howdy. 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.
Ive heard nothing about stopping the program
Yea they closed applications after that. I'd hang out and see how long they take to make choices.
Bud asked them to stop taking in more Sherpas as he was getting bored with how few Sherplings he had
how do i change reticle?
"few" hell I could quit my job and sherap all day as many as I have backd up
Damn
Thx Budrakin, it worked^^
how to chose which trader will repair my armor?
Cool
Oof dinner was good time for Some more tarkov vids
tell me anyway
i mean what trader to choose
Prapor is cheap, Mechanic repairs more for more expensive
@trim herald
Yes
okay, who wanted to chill woods with me?
left alt + right mouse, or ctrl + right mouse, @jade vessel
should I keep this? it has sp-6 rounds, but 83 recoil and i dont find it easy to use. I prefer ak
val is a good gun imo
Think you answered your own question. You don't like it...so sell it
what ammo should I use for 7.62x51?
@tribal cove Unfold it
@brazen stirrup m80
thanks
^
M80 is fine tbh
alright thank you
I literally just got the game, Kinda have an idea of what to do... but also not. Any recommendations to get me started?
@scarlet oyster Go 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.
Watch how much noise you make @scarlet oyster and good luck
Delta, you don't need a sherap
Watch youtube guides for beginners boognish 😃
Oh you can left click to cancel animations
@trim herald oooooooh. now it has 40. but it looked unfolded before too
you are basically a boogyman of woods already
@scarlet oyster 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. 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.

Ryan pls
Ok. I think ill use the as val
@tribal cove Yeah, because it has a different stock from default. The gun is a laser though, does not move
@tribal covesell the val and buy a vss
^^^
Same but half the price
i see a scav moonwalking in place, what do ?

Alt rmb
@steady pilot i ll just sell it then. I already have 9 guns
Yo guys - if I see that my Scav has a cool attachment and I want him to survive, which is the best map/time of day for a higher probability of extract?
Sounds like a mouse fart
Vss is my baby
Bs or sp6?
SP6
Sp6
BS great, expensive as all shit
Yea..
Sp6 is cheap for what it does
what about sp-5?
Trash
Tier below sp6
I ll keep it after all
Sp6 is 43 pen
Spp is 45
BP is 50
They all two tap or 1 tap head
So just based on pen really
So much pp😂
Sp6 works
Much pp
Big pp
@steady pilot You don't look at fragmentation chances?
@celest condor why would I base my judgment on rng roll
Wish vss was more customizable tho
What ammo one taps through killa vest in the chest?
Leg meta wooooo
@queen lynx
Hey, you here?
because 1:5 rounds doing 50% damage is considerable. I agree not a major factor, but one I consider.
Relying on fragmentation is badnewsbear
SPP is great though if you have a bit more cash
OOF
Lmao 
sorry, 50% MORE damage.
i feel sorry for him
Fragmentation is just something thsts nice every now and then
Bots are gonna take that Parra cord tho
yup
Not something you look for
they just did
Bots are a serious issue
true
It's not bots
huh
It may be bots, but likely not
It will be bots
No
Is 7n1 the only ammo that will one tap the chest through killa armor?
I've won auctions that are that underpriced
It is always bot, hackers and ping abusers 🙂
@proper ginkgo BS ignores lvl 5 generally too, for 5.45
He said one tap
But nothing 1 taps
Specifically
Unless fragment
And yes 7n1 can 1 tap lvl 5
Not reliably
can
found a SVD in scav run but died bcuz i thought he was scav ai fukkkkk
@trim herald Yes but it wont 1 tap chest
Very reliably
Sure, but so can M61/M62
Always has bee
Through frag chance
Whats the point of armor ffs lol
Been using 7n1 forever it claps
Which is not reliable
How do you guys make it to extraction points? They are always so far away from me and I never have time to make it. It's like I have 20 minutes left as scav and I gotta somehow make it across the map. and god forbid i'm in a fight and injure my legs and can hardly walk. how do y'all do it??
That's what I'm saying 😄
I seem to be getting a lot of server disconnects like 1 in every 4 raids or so would that be because I play on WiFi?
Sure, I'm not saying it's an insignificant chance, but it's not reliable
@strange ice just figure out wich extraction you need to go to, and find a smart, safe route
Every time I snipe someone with 7n1, armor is literally zeroed
People use low as durability shit
@echo valley servers are a mess since the twitch drops. Could just be server issues
Is the m700 sniper worth?
Chad700
fucking 200k+ armor one tapped by a 20k weapon lmfao
100% worth
@fallen swallow for woods sure. It's as good as the round in it
Just needs a back up for cqb
Other maps no?
yeah, with 7N1 you goin in the hard way
You can use it wherever
I wouldn't take it to Factory
xD
But the rest it's fine
@strange ice @thin heart 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.
@celest condor Makes sense because I honestly have no problems with any other game
You are just at a disadvantage over semi or auto
@thin heart Yea I understand that cuz I have a map on a second monitor next to me. I understand where I am on the map but I feel like I'd never make it in time. When I have to run/walk across or halfway through the map while avoiding players
Lmao imagine sniping on factory

I take a 700 with mbus sights to factory for the meme
@fallen swallow All, well most, guns are worth it if you have fun with it. Don't worry too much about having the best gun out there and just have fun. It is a game after all..
anyone help make me a thermal sniper kit? for reserve BUDGET 1.6m
@strange ice Due to server overload they have reduced time for maps. It's temporary but it is not impossible to make it from 1 side of map to the other.
@bold kernel yeah just mod a fal out and add thermal
t-5000 feels really good
The as val just has a fast rpm and empties 30 round mags very fast
ok please help me with that lmao
i would even say its the best sniper in the game
Or grab 762 mdr thermal
I seek guidance for woods raiding 
762 mdr + grip + wavesuppressor + thermal
Done
But my opinion as to effectivness... I really only lie the 7.62x54 snipers for the extra hitting power. But again, most important is to have fun. That is why I often play with 12 ga buckshot 🙂
How can i level up my traders?
market server just went down
Out of the 100 AKs that are in the game which one you guys think is the best? lol
and its back
how will i know when they level up
T-5000 or FAL?
which do u recommend
servers dead
Go to any trader and it says in the top right what you need to do to be "next loyalty level"
@hushed sundial
@echo valley AK-74M stat wise. AKS-74U or AK-105 for funsies. 🙂
@waxen forge Should I stop looking around an area for loot? and just go straight to the extraction while finding whatever I can on the way? I only played customs so far
I like my baby AKs.
https://streamable.com/gesbx
m80 never fails, basically 0'd the guys ac2002 helm
@trim herald what's that for
@echo valley akm shoots 7x39. AK74s shoot 545. Ak100 series are modernized ak that are more accurate and all come with a dovetail and folding stock. Old akm and ak74 have N for dovetail and S for folding stock.
M1a
LUL
@strange ice You can loot an area quickly but have timer in mind and move accordingly
Sniping on reserve
It's not understandable, im level 14 and it says i need to be level 13?
what are you. https://i.imgur.com/PKNnvPp.png
oh darn
Do tasks
@hushed sundial First column is player level...next is Trader reputation, 3rd column is money spent/transacted with them
wifi bar lol
u need 0.15 trader raiting for that trader do it by selling/buying form them or doing tasks @mossy meadow
ALL 3 need to be met to be eligible for next level.
New to the game. Only played once, got destroyed. Need a duo partner to regularly play with to show me the ropes
Been tryin to do the quest with Propar where you gotta take the case to the Factory swing room man I've been so close bringing it to factory twice only to end up dying because of horrible spawns lol
So it says i need to find salewa kits, does it mean i actually have to go out and search for them, or can i just buy them on the market and give them to the traders
Flir isntrash yes but it's still functional
No...Trader reputation is earned through task...it is separate from spent and player level
fairly new to the game looking for a partner.
@hushed sundial Find means "get" and Find in raid means must find on a map
Ugh FLIR

okay thank you
flir bad
Flir works fine. Everyone is just a baby. It's still better than how old reap ir was
i doubt it
I kinds like the zoom for shot placement
@waxen forge Alrighty will do. Also if I get into a fight how do I find medical items to heal my legs? it happens alot and than i would never make it to extraction when I cant run or walk half speed
reaper was clear but 10fps
@strange ice If it's PMC bring meds
It was trash to use
reapir is amazing now
And had a refresh bar
If it's scav then it's just luck of what you find
flir is trashy
hello gentlemen
@waxen forge I just got the game today so I've only played scav and offline pmc. IS there any locations where I can find any as scav or just luck?
@strange icescav on interchange for money
Depends on the map
Learn it. Live it. Love it
play all the maps

reserve customs interchange shoreline
all loot mapos
labs too
but hold off on that for a bit

what's the best course when looting something such as a scope? sell it or use it right away? i'm a little bit confused on wether i should be farming money or good weapons.. any tips? 
maps are super useful I always got one up on a second monitor
Whenever I try to download tarkov I get the message "download file checksum doesnt match" does ANYONE know what the hell this shit means I've been trying to solve so so ling
@long ether sell what you're not gonna use🤷
making money allows you to buy gear. If you aren't going to use it then sell it.
Alright thank you guys Imma go start practicing again I'll use the tips 
Break weapons into parts and sell to Skier...then rest to Mechanic.
@strange iceyou looking up wiki maps
Yea I am
K good
Help - i found an AVS armored rig as a Scav but could only search it, not take it. Do I need to ditch my Scav vest to take it?
i mean uuh, sccopes ccan always be useful i guess? I just don't know which ones i don't like using and the one i do. (just had horrible game with horrible scope)
@bold kernel Yes
It takes up armor/rig slot
What punishment you get when you finish a raid too early?
Low xp
Can I unlock anything better than this Alpha container or do I have to upgrade to the better version of the game?
!wiki secure containers
@echo valley
Do tasks. Can get the Epsilon and Kappa
!wiki kappa
ez Kappa
Kapparinos

is there some limits to how many bps i can stack?
oh so the kappa container is a questline for Fence?
Nope
Nope
@echo valley Yes
its the last quest in the game from fence yes
@echo valley click my link to learn about all containers
I have never found a limit @mossy meadow
ok thx
you mother truckers need to sell your bags
youd be surprised how much you get from em
Sell to skier
I don't need money
👌
thanks @waxen forge @steady pilot
i go in no bag
I dont take back packs in my raids
and i kill some poor soul and take his
I dont think I've ever bought a single backpack.
I take tactec and gun. That's it.
Cheapest suppressor for m4? For the gunsmigh task, so dont care about stats
I have a few back packs I earned from raids
@tribal covent-4
having a bag on you just gives someone the chance to snatch your shit after they kill you
cheap t4 helmet
but I'm still afraid to use them lol
@steady pilot Thanks for the info man didn't know there that many different containers nice
Yeah, all mind comes from scav raids and other players. I always have some in my stash, never had to buy one.
cheap t4 helmet?
cheap t4 helmet

can Scavs make the jumps that PMCs can?
cheap t4 helmet
@lilac dawn waste of $
??
i.e. lower level PMCs
@steady pilot thx
@lilac dawn mich 2001 clm down
its the ulachs without ear
I want to go for that Epsilon container
or the PK
@bold kernel yes?
yeah
Its 55k
It's a long grind @echo valley You have to complete just about every quest to get the Collector quest.
Damn eh..
Ulach with ear pro is 80k for psuedo protection
But you can get Epsilon from the end of the Punisher tasks
Reached 1 mil Roubles what should I spend my money on?
Probably worth it to just upgrade to EOD then
beta is not far off
Epsilon is your best bet for efficiency/time. It's from Punisher and is 4x2.
Dont buy eod just for container lol
@steady pilot re jumps - they can make the car over the toilet jump on Customs?
(scavs)
@placid igloo Then you need to run offline til you learn them with internet map on 2nd screen
@bold kernel yes anyone can at lvl 1
@exotic nebula u got a scav box?
No
The youth of today who have had google navigation ..... we are doomed
No scav box, keytool, etc
LUL
I'd honestly feel better earning better containers
Should I sell my bitcoin?
I bought eod cause I enjoyed the shit out of the game and see my self playing in future
Same ^
Definitely got my 140$ worth so far
Easily ^
i bought EOD because it has become my go to game as well
Bought eod for that alpha access
Ya this game is something special man don't see myself playing really anything else atm
my friend gave me his account to play because he couldnt run the game he had the basic one after like 2 wipes on his account i bought EOD
I think EOD was way cheaper back in the day, but I may be mistaken.
No
Wasnt
Just sales
honestly EOD is nice just to support the devs
That must have been it then, I got it in December 2 years ago, probably just a sale.
the stuff you trade to skier for that Beta container is kinda crazy lol
Yep
beta barter is pointless
Cost 5mil
thats reserve stuff
make sure you have 4 slots open in your container
if youre trying for it
epsilon
Just grind the kappa 
They made it impossible to trade containers now too
yeah
People sold gammas and shit for like 4m
No way I'm getting kappa before the next wipe lol
People used to sell gammas on fence
@tall cipher can you help me out? The assign languague and BEAR wont work for me 😦
people used to put them in cheap small bags and sell on flea
Just do the punisher quests, you have to do them for Kappa anyways and you get an 8 slot container out of it.
What language do you want
Again BEAR isnt a role

Bear and Usec aren't roles
You're a role
my ass
Probably golf ball
I did my first reserve run
