[bold kernel]

that is already in the game as an option

[shell garden]

does anyone know how to get rid of tremors

[rose silo]

If you do Peacekeeper's "Scrap Metal" quest, you can buy an MP5SD from him for like $500. But the cheapest one on the fleamarket is going for roughly $906. Can someone put one on the fleamarket for me at a better price???

[vernal anchor]

You can probably just mod it out for pretty cheap

[rose silo]

I can't, I've done the math multiple times.

[west vortex]

i bought the cheapest version of the game. the storage is quite small. did i make a mistake?

[rose silo]

It'd be $40k cheaper if another player put it up on the fleamarket for me

[vernal anchor]

The upper would be about 40k roubles

[rose silo]

The gun itself WITH the upper and silencer and gas tube costs only 50k roubles.

You could make serious money if you just bought this gun from peacekeeper and sold the parts separately yourself.

It's a huge gap in the market.

But I really need one now and am begging for anyone to please list one :/

[snow glen]

Anyone can introduce me to the game? I just got it and I have no clue what I'm doing. I would greatly appreciate if someone could help me out 😃

[coarse shuttle]

we can help, where u from @snow glen

[vernal anchor]

@rose silo I could list them for 60k

[snow glen]

Dominican Republic, I play in NA

[rose silo]

Ill buy one for 60k

[river sail]

new to the game

[vernal anchor]

alright

[coarse shuttle]

ah, euw here @snow glen

[rose silo]

thanks so much, please let me know when you put it up

I think you should sell the others part by part, it seems to be more profitable i guess.

[vernal anchor]

I just did

[rose silo]

stonkbroker?

[vernal anchor]

I'm not too worried about money right now

Yes

[pliant plank]

i just want

[vernal anchor]

No worries

[pliant plank]

so i could figure out

what the fuck is wrong with my game

[split vapor]

Take the stock off

And what is the lock name

[north lance]

akm/ak-74 PT lock

same as the list

[fluid path]

your gun is AKMS, do u not need AKM?

i think you do

[split vapor]

You have the wrong gun

[north lance]

wtf

bruh

[split vapor]

You need the AKM

Not akms

[north lance]

there are so many AK's in this game

[fluid path]

AKMS only has the shitty folding metal stock i think

[north lance]

762 guns in this game can suck my ass

[split vapor]

It does say modify the AKM to the required specs

[north lance]

K

I searched AKM and bought the first thing

nmp

[fluid path]

i almost bought a 7000 usd SR3m mag last night because it was the first thing

[north lance]

f

[mint hawk]

Part 4

[north lance]

what

[potent geode]

good ammo for the vepr?

[mint hawk]

also.. which part are u doing@north lance

@potent geode BP is best

[bold kernel]

Is the 5-7 good cause I just sold one to the traders and I think I regret it

[grave helm]

Is this a good build or did that dude just suck?

[mint hawk]

@grave helm diff suppressor can drop the recoil under 100

@grave helm

[grave helm]

Ah okay, I might just sell everything and make 500k just from this weapon I have 6x 50mags

Imagine being fully geared and then u get rekt by reshalas bodyguard

[mint hawk]

@grave helm its a great build tho.. he just played it poorly

[bold kernel]

Anyone know why I can put an offer in flea market????

[mint hawk]

@bold kernel no money for fee?

[bold kernel]

@mint hawk aaaaahhh

[sinful fern]

sup nooblets

[bold kernel]

What’s a better gun to build around ak74 or akMS

[sinful fern]

74

akms is great if you can master single fire

[mint hawk]

74.. 7.62 kicks like crazy

[bold kernel]

Alright is the 5-7 good cause I sold one for cheap

[sinful fern]

its ok i like glocks better

[north lance]

@mint hawk im on part 9 now.

[bold kernel]

I didn’t have any ammo and I still couldn’t access the black market so i just sold it

Ah ok alright thanks guys

[mint hawk]

@north lance Struggling?

[north lance]

no

why would I be struggling

[timber dock]

You just have that face.

[north lance]

bruh

[mint hawk]

talking about it in assistance channel

[timber dock]

RSF. Resting Struggle Face.

[north lance]

I think my mate is the one struggling, Same level as me and has a fraction of my money

obviously a chad

@mint hawk and no I was just being a retard for half a second and realised on my own what I had messed up on before the others said

[sly warren]

What is the cheapest helmet that can fit a Night Vision on it?

[mint hawk]

Gunsmith P9

@sly warren Probably 6B

[sly warren]

The Rat doesnt fit it says

[errant coyote]

did the pricce of lab cards go down a lot? i saw people selling them for 100k+ now i unlocked flea market and i see ones selling for 10k

[sinful fern]

they sell for 180

anyway

[mint hawk]

Gunsmith P10.. although.. no so sure about that suppressor..

[timber dock]

Need a couple of mounts, @sly warren

[sinful fern]

dont put em for 100

[errant coyote]

180k?

[sly warren]

So only one mount is linked to the PNV

[errant coyote]

for lab access cards?

[sly warren]

I got that mount, but nothing is linked to the mount

[north lance]

bruh why are you posting all the gunsmith parts @mint hawk

[bold kernel]

should i get a scav box or a weapons case to save room in my inventory first?

[north lance]

I got an I case

I-case

SO much more room

[sly warren]

Okay its daisy chained, mount to helmet, mount to NV, then mount to mount to mount to mount

[north lance]

can put guns in it as well as your other cases for ammo / meds etc

[mint hawk]

@bold kernel Depends whats taking up the most space in stash

[grave helm]

Scav box @bold kernel

[sly warren]

I love how simple this game is lol.

[bold kernel]

its mostly backpacks and shit

but alot of weapons too

[frozen bone]

i have 6 aks 74u, and the kill 25 scav with it quest, worth modding or just grind out the kills?

[bitter forum]

Do people ever buy modded guns off the flea market? Or am I just better off breaking this down and selling bit by bit

[north lance]

Just stack your backpakcs @bold kernel

[errant coyote]

is it better to sell guns to traders or on flea market?

[bold kernel]

i do

[north lance]

Dismantle the gun, Sell all possible bits to skier and then the rest to mechanic

thats what I do

[fluid path]

i modded out one and did all the kills on night customs in 2 raids. @frozen bone mods certainly made it easier

[grave helm]

@sly warren are we playing the same game??

[timber dock]

Keep sights for later use, probably, or flea market them.

[sly warren]

It was a joke. The idea mounts need to be mounted on mounts to fit on a mount for the helmet which is then mounted... is rediculus

[frozen bone]

@fluid path how good are you? this is my first time playing

just looking for a stick to measure against

[fluid path]

i can aim at a scav who is stationary 🙂

[frozen bone]

awesome

[grave helm]

its like irl

[frozen bone]

no offense 😛

[fluid path]

the 74u has a lot of recoil, if you mod it, its easier to full auto with

also night customs has less players (IMO) and more scavs

50k night vision is cheap, pnv-10t

[grave helm]

^ dont forget the helmet ^^

[frozen bone]

thermal or nvg?

[fluid path]

nvg imo

[grave helm]

the pnv is cancer in my opinion, but for budget run its worth it

[frozen bone]

whats the diff, never used?

[paper ruin]

best ammo for akm?

[grave helm]

@paper ruin https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Ballistics

[sly warren]

IMO Always assume your target is in Lvl 4 armor (Unless your going into Lab)

[errant coyote]

is there away to sort the flea market offers by only money and not item trades

[fluid path]

"HIde bartering offers"

[frozen bone]

night scope vs goggles?

[sinful fern]

goggles

[frozen bone]

can you aim through scope with nvgs on?

[sinful fern]

yes

[fluid path]

yeah, it gives your scope nightvision.

[frozen bone]

if you put a pnv-10 on a 10T adapter, the 2 slot pnv goes down to one slot 🤔

[paper ruin]

anyone know where i can get the mag for akm?

[west vortex]

try fence

[bold kernel]

Noob question: is the Adar 2-15 ONLY single fire? Or is there any option to make auto??

[tardy marten]

Hi

[fluid path]

@bold kernel if you disassembled your ADAR and put all the pieces on an stripped M4A1 it would be full auto

[tardy marten]

Does anyone wont to play

[bold kernel]

@fluid path which is better?

[paper ruin]

best body armour and rig for new player?

[grave helm]

depends how new you are

[paper ruin]

level 3

[timber dock]

There was a great Polygon article about newbie loadouts...

[frozen bone]

wAlKiNg TaNk LoAdOuT

[split vapor]

muh 3m stops everything

[grave helm]

HAHAHHA

[fickle kettle]

White amour stop everthing

Even nuke

[frozen bone]

whoa

sound is so weird with nvgs on

or maybe it's this helmet? 6B47?

[grave helm]

sound shouldnt be reduces or changed with either of them

do you use a headset?

[frozen bone]

i was randomly getting buzzing sound on my shots

but it's gone now... 🤔

is that a known sound bug?

[grave helm]

I never heard about a buzzing sound on own shots

[frozen bone]

yeah it was weird, like when you plug in a 3.5mm jack? but like turned up to 1000

[grave lagoon]

what's the best way to level peacekeeper?

[sinful fern]

buying dollars

[grave lagoon]

what do I do with those dollars

[sinful fern]

you can buy attachments and shit he has

[split vapor]

buy shit and sell said shit back to him

aka buy M9's

[sinful fern]

if you buy dollars and then you buy his items and then sell em

thats like tripple dipping

at a loss

[naive atlas]

I bought optics from him and sold at flea market

[urban root]

what's the build needed to get the gunsmith part 1 done? I can't seem to get the recoil below 950 with any set of stabilizers when I have the pistol grip for size.

[frozen bone]

welp just tried night raid for first time

tapped, lost over 100k in gear

rip me

nvt's are terribly blurry

[rose silo]

if there is no green smoke

can an optional extract sill be active?

or if i see no smoke should i just assume its not there

[fluid path]

assume its not there

i mean maybe if you were trying to scope it from 300m away get closer

[prisma gorge]

anyone wanna be our third

[dusk agate]

am i playing this game wrong?

i just keep going reserve map cause thats the only one i know how to extract off of

cause the train comes through

so i just keep playing scav over and over trying to collect loot

[fast rivet]

well that was nice, spawned north side of reserve, someone in dome sniped me 5 seconds later, saw the tracer hit me and everything

[dusk agate]

whats dome in reserve

[urban root]

@dusk agate I'd recommend trying out shoreline to get used to the game a bit

[dusk agate]

that big white ball observity?

[fast rivet]

yuh

[dusk agate]

thats foolottery though dude. everyone tells you to pick a map and get used to the game on like shoreline or customs

if thats what you guys are telling all the noobs to go to thats where everyone will know

[urban root]

well it's better than trying to use the hardest extract in the game

[dusk agate]

thats the only times ive ever extracted

my only 2 ever extracts

[urban root]

the armored train has to be the most difficult extract in the game imo

[dusk agate]

lol ive never seen another extraction point so

[fast rivet]

i get hella money from shoreline scav runs

[urban root]

if you're insistent on playing reserve try and get to heating pipe or cp fence or literally any other one that's possible

Use an online map to figure the locations out

[dusk agate]

what do you supposed to do in tarkov anyways ive actually never watched a vid or anything i just kinda assume

since im the best tactical shooter individual to grace the earth

give me any gear and i can sneeky breek past any opposition

but i know theres like ai too

[urban root]

If you're the best tac shooter individual you would have more than two extracts

[dusk agate]

woah bro

chill 2 extracts out of a total of like 10 missions

but nah on my pmc character i tried maps like customs and shoreline and lost all my starter edition gear and shit

cause i wasnt insuring and whatnot

[urban root]

well you've done more than 10 missions then if you managed to lose all of your starter kits

[dusk agate]

brb ive got a scav run in reserve loading in loot

[thorny kelp]

does anyone have a good guide for a complete noob

[dusk agate]

about to camp armored train and kill like 3 people again

[fast rivet]

kek, when you start out for the first time, you scav run then do offline pmc raids to learn the maps

[dusk agate]

whats the offline for

i bought like 2 maps in the store

[fluid path]

@thorny kelp watch Pestily's beginner guide maybe

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkpwFfAqV8Q&list=PLZJoJ7H5ZfosAtkZzjr7e4YyG6jTb530F

[dusk agate]

and lost one

[fast rivet]

if you go in pmc ever time and lose all your shit, thats a you problem

[dusk agate]

but they're broken anyways

[fast rivet]

maps are a waste of money

[dusk agate]

like wtf is wrong with the maps they literally show straight white

[fast rivet]

use the ones on the wiki

[urban root]

ingame maps are pretty garbage

[fast rivet]

congrats, you fell for capitalism

[thorny kelp]

thank you

[dusk agate]

yo guys come join the chat channel and see this gameplay

just spawned rioght on armor train its poppin off

nvm all vc are locked lmao BEETA MAAALES

[sinful fern]

what happaned to that dudes profile?

did he get fukt?

[urban root]

nah just wants to be unique lol

can someone explain how I'm supposed to do gunsmith part one?

I've got this gun down to 954 recoil total which isn't low enough lol

[sinful fern]

so, the HAMR sight, i've got it mounted, and it's got a reflex sight on top of the scope. shouldn't lctrl + rmb swap between them?

[urban root]

yeah I just like using it to figure out what my stats will be without buying shit for testing lol

[sinful fern]

yeah ctrl + rmb

switches between sights

[dusk agate]

so im currently just camping at a train platform waitin for the ol train to arrive

[dense pine]

@urban root presets can utilize anything you've examined

[dusk agate]

situated in a nice lil hiding spot not much activity

im gonna extract with the gun my scav has alonside any other poor sods that i kill camping the train extract?

[dense pine]

@sinful fern HAMR is bugged on my game, at least then. lemme try something else

[sinful fern]

are you sure

[dusk agate]

is that how this game works essentialy? or is there acatch

[sinful fern]

there is scope attached to your hammr

there is a slot there

that looks like a scope

[dense pine]

it's supposed to be built in

[sinful fern]

but its not a red dot

you have to buy

it

seperate

and put it in

[dense pine]

ahhh... that explains that

i see the slot lol

[sinful fern]

LUL

yeah it has the shape of it

but you have to buy it

[uncut surge]

lfg customs runs

[dense pine]

the description i read a lot, but the empty SCOPE slot, not so much

[sinful fern]

its called like RMR

or something

[stone radish]

Why can't i see any lfg after i have done setup and rules?

[dusk agate]

whats the zeroing buttons

quick

halp

[urban root]

so I just turned in the shotgun for the mission and he fucking ate it without finishing my quest

[dense pine]

thanks a ton, @sinful fern

[sinful fern]

ya dude

[dense pine]

@dusk agate page up/down iirc

@urban root what's the quest page look like now?

[sinful fern]

restart game sometimes it glitches

and cant press complete

[urban root]

@dense pine restarting game real quick as I read that helps

restarting fixed it

[dense pine]

excellent

[scarlet tendon]

anyone have room?

[dusk agate]

ty what about hold breath

shift?

[dense pine]

lalt

shift is run

[dusk agate]

okay i killed a guy and managed to extract my scav at the train this is my grand total of loot now lol

https://imgur.com/a/ikLc1Ys

what should i do now to bring my networth up its like 20 minutes to another scav run

also what scope/sight can i get for my ak-74m so many attachments but no way to match the right ones

[wet moss]

why is nothin in ur alpha container

also

did u loot that map? shouldnt use in-game maps if u have a second device u can have a map open

not tryin to be off topic i dont know how to answer ur actual question

but if u want to know what attachments u can use right click on ur ak and do a linked search

only useable attachments will show

[sour plume]

can you get a military battery from the scav case?

[vernal anchor]

Yes you can

[prisma gorge]

anyone wanna be our third for customs

[vernal anchor]

#pvp-lfg

[onyx imp]

good loadout to get woods scav kill quest done?

[junior yacht]

i find it easier with a partner

i brought a single shot ak with a sight

[last nexus]

hey! i got the game in december and my friends said they would teach me alot, which they have in raid stuff like where to loot, where to flank, where to sit and wait, all that but they have not shown me what to sell or what to keep or how to make profit really. so i guess what im trying to say is can someone kinda show me in the right direction?

[wintry needle]

im kinda new but i know some waht do u need?

[last nexus]

just what to sell for profit and what to keep for myself to use in raid again or for my hideout. because i kinda like to hoard right now because im not sure what to do with it all

like do i keep all pc parts and wires and such or sell them, or some ammo that i dont think ill ever use, or some other parts like motors and stuff, i just dont know if i sell or keep it

or just not grab any of it

maybe im over thinking it, i just dont know how to make money i guess

[viral lantern]

These are all the barter items you need for the hideout. I believe there is Another picture for all the items you need ”found in raid” for quests as well

[wet moss]

honestly

just starting out i found it easier just to sell everything personally

ive got 24 hours played and have an inventory worth 2mil

u can waste time fuckin around with ur stash or sell whatever ur not using atm to buy what u need and keep playing

[viral lantern]

Save items that you need, sell the rest. Still in the beggining it’a best to cash in Whatever you can and use cheap loadouts to earn the game More

[wet moss]

if u have the 45 dollar version of the game

u cant even hold all those items in that picture

until u get money to buy containers

[last nexus]

ok, when i get on later ill probably sell most everything in my stash. so keep like a couple guns and a couple sets of gear? and sell everything else

[viral lantern]

The scav junkbox is many players number One priority. Also remember he isn’t going to have all that stuff in his inventory and then level up his hideout. It’s a process with many steps

Keep the gear you want to use. A Gun you haven’t tried? Keep it, a Gun you have tried But haven’t enjoyed using, sell it

[timber egret]

The Flea Market is a game changer for making money too. Just in comparison to Dealer prices.

[bold kernel]

Hello guys, any of you know how to fix the low fps stuttering problem?

[sour plume]

uh someone I know goes into the graphics options during a raid, hits save and apparently that improves his fps? idk how that works

otherwise if it's just stuttering then close other processes/lower graphics settings etc, maybe lower resolution if you need to

[dim lintel]

Is anyone who plays Sydney/Singapore willing to play customs as a SCAV with me? I'm kinda new but I know the basics.

[wraith glacier]

HK 416 or m4?

[timber dock]

Yes.

[sour plume]

trying to remember the differences

[viral lantern]

The m4 has a higher base ergo whilst the HK has 50 More ROM

Your preference (:

Personally I prefer the M4

[sour plume]

oh right rate of fire

[viral lantern]

Or.. it might not be base ergo But More it can get a higher ergo... note 100% sure. Remember it has better ergo

[proper ginkgo]

why does my side step randomly not work

[viral lantern]

Side step?

[proper ginkgo]

quick lean out

[frozen bone]

holy heck, just tried modding a mp 153, it can go down to basically 0 recoil because of the low fire rate

[viral lantern]

Are you Making sure you are standing still and pressing the keys in the correct order?

[celest condor]

@frozen bone ROF does not affect recoil. Please show me hwo to make a 0 recoil MP-153. I use them regularly and they are all very high recoil.

[proper ginkgo]

yup. it works and then randomly stops working without me even changing position

[slim fern]

How do I convert my euros back to rubles?

[proper ginkgo]

so annoying

[timber dock]

Oh no, my input string was not in the correct format.

[wet moss]

I am stuck in a loop

I keep saying "ill play the scav and log"... then I finish and am like "well my guy is already geared ill do another" but then my scav is ready after

[frozen bone]

@celest condor https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VeT4POJPcg0

it's still processing

i cut replay late so early two shot rounds are cut off, but close to firing range anyways so not a big deal

[celest condor]

Can't just tell the mods on the gun?

[wet moss]

whelp, servers seem to be down might log

[celest condor]

There really is not that much you can do to one.

[frozen bone]

all of them

i think i'm clicking faster than the ROF so it should be capped

it's blurry atm, but when it processes you'll see the cluster of shots are very tight

basically no rise

[open flower]

i just lost server connection twice after trying to reconnect. is my loot gone?

[frozen bone]

i can do it again in slug if you want me to

[celest condor]

There is a difference between zero recoil and shooting slow enough that you recover from recoil before the next shot.

[frozen bone]

functionally the same

when you're ROF is low enough that the recoil "reset" covers the recoil

[open flower]

lost server connection 3 times in a row i think my loot is gone

[celest condor]

Well then a Mosin has zero recoil???

[wet moss]

@open flower im told as long as u dont leave raid you will get it back

they are talkin about it on summits stream

they got dc'ed as well

[open flower]

ouch

[frozen bone]

dunno how that's particularly relevant but pretty much? if you're holding breath, by the time your next shot comes through it'll be at the exact same point as the first one

[celest condor]

There are also other effects of recoil beyond shot placement. The recoil of the shotgun shaking the view and moving gun off target can make it harder to track targets too.
Just because yo recover from the recoil before the next shot does not mean you have zero recoil.

[prisma sand]

Are the in game maps actually used for anything?

[celest condor]

@prisma sand Not anymore. THey are currently useless.

Not even good for finding your way in game.

[prisma sand]

Glad I didn’t buy them. Thanks!

[slim fern]

Have a wiki map open on your phone, made by the community

[tepid patrol]

i was afraid im gonna loose my stuff after server disconnect but it kep the original gear thank god

[slim fern]

Dont you only keep it if you reconnect and then extract from map? @tepid patrol

[knotty mica]

Tips on leveling traders?

[celest condor]

@knotty mica Do their tasks

[knotty mica]

Oh i forgot about them lmao

[celest condor]

@tepid patrol 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

[tepid patrol]

@slim fern idk i had same gear as i went in. i TRIED connecting 5 times then clicked leave and restarted the game

[slender mango]

@tepid patrol did you get your stuff back after restart?

[slim fern]

One bright side, pretty much guarantees your insurance

[celest condor]

@slender mango 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

[wet moss]

can u upgrade tarkov?

like buy a bigger supporter pack

[shadow magnet]

Yes you can

[wet moss]

i see it now

I was lookin under profile

[slender mango]

so do we get our stuff back for the raid, i got like paracord and shit

[celest condor]

@wet moss If you want to upgrade I suggest going all the way to EOD. When you upgrade you only pay the difference in price from what you currently have to what you are buying.
Stash sizeincreases immediately adn all the extra stuff you get fromt he upgraded version comes as a message from the system.

So yo udo not need to reset your account.

[shadow magnet]

^

[wet moss]

but why get eod version if i only pay difference

[shadow magnet]

Cheaper if you only just got EoD

So you might as well just get EOD

[celest condor]

imo, there are only two versions worth getting. The standard to see if you like it, then EOD to get maximum stash size, Gamma container and future DLC.

[wet moss]

dont have 95 dolla dolla bill

[slim fern]

This game plans to have dlc?

[celest condor]

Then wait till a sale. You also pay taxes on ach upgrade...

Yes there are plans for DLC.

[wet moss]

i honestly dont even want a bigger stash

just need a slightly bigger gamma

[celest condor]

I have heard of two. One a winter map set. The other something called Scav life, or similar.

No real details about them yet of course.

If you are not upgrading to EOD, push the punisher tasks hard. You will eventually get an epsilon container that is 2x4.

[wet moss]

ya i started to look into that

[steel kindle]

anyone wanna play with a beginner? i have a lot of shit and down to do reserve

[celest condor]

Oher option is to level up Peacekeeper (?) and buy the Beta container. But you can get epsilon before or roughly at the same time.

[sleek tusk]

looking for help to do gear runs

[tardy hamlet]

^ same

[celest condor]

gear runs?

Talking about a raid which the goal is to exit with gear you can use in future raids?

@tardy hamlet 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

[sleek tusk]

Yes. like going to mark room and further more without dieing

[celest condor]

Do that then you can get access to the LFG and other channels on this server

okay, see I just do loot runs and then buy what I want, instead of getting stuck with what I can find.

[sleek tusk]

I get manhunted when i do loot runs

[celest condor]

I also do what I call utility runs. Where I go in for my hideout supplies. Mainly blue fuel tanks and water filters.

But only because I am a cheap ass hoarder and don't want to spend my money.

[slim fern]

New to game, but bunkers in woods have good utility spawns, yeah?

[celest condor]

That and buying fuel tanks from flea market is horrible.

Wood seems to be pretty lean on loot. Interchange is where I go to make my millions. Shoreline is also really good, but you need keys.

Some people make lots of money on reserve and labs as well.

[steel kindle]

reserve is where imake million

reserve is op with red rebel and paracord

[slim fern]

Customs good for money? I heard it's easy to learn

[celest condor]

When I do customs I look for Reshala, hit marked room and MAYBE a couple key spawns. I don't really do much for looting there.

[sleek tusk]

Message me if anyone has time to spare to help a noob.

[bold kernel]

Whats up with game launcher?

the game wont start

[vernal anchor]

Servers are having issues

[bold kernel]

this issue?

[wet moss]

ya same

[bold kernel]

how long has it been down for?

[wet moss]

but its opening now

about 30-45

[bold kernel]

mmkay

opening now not for me

i need to scav bros

[dark pagoda]

Game down probably but they didnt say anything yet

[coral sonnet]

I was loading into a game and got some weird ass message about strings not formatting or something

[wet moss]

its prolly best i go to sleep and wake up early ;o

[coral sonnet]

I'm 0 for 3 for loading into games

[bold kernel]

go to sleep? i pity you

its morning in finland

[wet moss]

ya but u also have 7 extra hours

[bold kernel]

whole day of playing ahead of me

[wet moss]

so when i go to sleep and wake up

it will be the same day and time as u right now

[coral sonnet]

And now I cant do anything in the game because my screen is stuck on the trees background with nothing to do and it's not loading anything

[bold kernel]

yeah but your days are longer

[coral sonnet]

This game just seems like a giant piece of shit

[wet moss]

yaaa its fucked i learned my lesson about waiting for servers to come back up way back in 2004 with wow

[bold kernel]

our daylight is like few hours and 80% darkness of the day

makes finnish people sleep more

[wet moss]

i mean, tactical, do u know any game that has as much shit as this game?

i can only think of poe

[coral sonnet]

Poe?

[wet moss]

path of exile

[sleek tusk]

PATH OF EXILE

[coral sonnet]

Gross

[placid igloo]

how do I turn in items for a quest

[wet moss]

and tbf ggg is an amazing company so cant even compare the support between the two

it wouldnt be fair

[silk sleet]

i need the loot boys y gam brok

[coral sonnet]

Bruh, I just got the game and I cant even play it

Lmao, what a terrible start

[wet moss]

weird time for servers to go down

its time for na to log off

and na to log on

err

eu to log on

[sleek tusk]

Update broke the game again. Like last week

[lapis topaz]

it's 10:50am at russia now

[coral sonnet]

Its 1 50am here in central US

[wet moss]

1:51 u fuckin liar

[bold kernel]

it's A BEAUTIFUL MORNING

[coral sonnet]

I wanted to play a game before I went to bed but that dream is gone

[lapis topaz]

probably why the timing of downed servers is now.. im sure they're working on some things over at their HQ in the morning

[coral sonnet]

What a bunch of ni- [User was banned for this comment. Reason: RACISM]

Fucks sake guys, what a terrible introduction to the game

[silk sleet]

so that was a fucking lie

[wet moss]

@coral sonnet you will be fine, just wait ull get hooked

[coral sonnet]

You say that now

I need a group first

But that's a new problem for a new day

[wet moss]

why do u need a group?

[lapis topaz]

better to go solo

[coral sonnet]

I never play with a group and I want to at least once with a game like this

[wet moss]

groups have just as much a drawback as advantages

[lapis topaz]

LFG is 99% disorganized

[mint hawk]

@placid igloo you won't be able to hand in up until servers are back online

[vernal aspen]

someone wanna go on a run with me? need tips

[reef spoke]

i'd argue groups are a hinderence unless everyone is decent alone, and can halfway communicate with one another

[leaden swallow]

Who wants to play

[reef spoke]

if not, you get fucked by "is that you."ing

[tiny laurel]

Almost got killed because of that ysd

[vernal aspen]

im not new to videogames im new to tarkov Sw

[vernal anchor]

Love you tower

[silk sleet]

i just want to get into the game tbh

[celest condor]

@vernal aspen 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

[karmic meadow]

When did this wipe start?

[celest condor]

@reef spoke My favourite is the over there and over here callouts

[tiny laurel]

What's the max number in a single squad group?

[silk sleet]

4 scav, 5 pmc

[half jackal]

@karmic meadow like november

[karmic meadow]

Thanks !

[tiny laurel]

Ty

Inb4 5-man pistol squad zero to hero runs

[silk sleet]

its all fun and games until your 5 man zero to hero pistol squad gets gang banged by scavs with assault rifles

[tiny laurel]

I don't even get that when I'm solo , I didn't mean running in the open like headless chicken

[reef spoke]

@celest condor "hes by the building"

[thick harness]

the best teammates use the callout "hes right there"

[mint hawk]

@reef spoke unless you have clean comms and proper communication

[tiny laurel]

"on the right"

[mint hawk]

But that goes out the window when you start running as 4

[silk sleet]

me and a partner were passing through a gas station, all we heard was SOOKA and about 5 scavs descended on his while we were trying to scurry away with our meager findings

[reef spoke]

@mint hawk nah , we keep our 5 mans clean, granted we have the disicpline glock.

[tiny laurel]

Yeh, well you guys went to a hit spot and that looks like you had reshala spawn on your back with his goons in customs my dude

[thick harness]

groups definitely have an advantage if they know what they are doing

[silk sleet]

it was rough. all i had was a shitty ak with no dust cover and 2 10 rounders. i didnt make it

[tiny laurel]

I was more thinking of 5 man pistol squad with holopoint

Shoot the legs of any geared guy we come across, potentially with a cost in lives, but can be fun

I just imagine a geared guy trying to go marked room only to start hearing 5 running guys around him in every stairs of the dorms

Prob pretty fun

[thick harness]

until all 5 of you funnel into the hallway and get sprayed down instantly because hes in a 3 man group with level 5

[tiny laurel]

Well that's part of the game my dude
We could also come out of 3 separate places and try to hang him like zerglings

It's all made of ifs and butts

[silk sleet]

tbh it probably is pretty fun. my anxiety attack starts the minute i get "loading loot" and knowing i only have a pistol to defend myself? oh boy. thats a high i want to chase

[tiny laurel]

Also class5 in customs seem pretty rare to me

Tbh even a paca could stop us, that's why we'd take holopoint and aim legs

[thick harness]

unless youre me then its very common and they are usually either spawned right next to me or at the extract as I show up 😢

[dense inlet]

guys, there is how selling items to traders that are inside of a lucky scav junkbox without taking it off?

[thick harness]

yea they really need to allow you to open containers when you are in the sell screen

its annoying af

probably on their list of QoL fixes they will get to at some point

[dense inlet]

i was really happy that i could buy this box, now im not sure ):

[half jackal]

@dense inlet move lucky scav box to a backpack and ctrl click the things you want to sell to your stash

[thick harness]

The scav box is a necessity especially if you are on standard edition

[tiny laurel]

Medcase also

And ammobox

[thick harness]

mag box

all cases lol

[dense inlet]

@half jackal when the servers comes back up again i'll try

[thick harness]

scav is super nice because you can put items you need for later quests in there and have a bunch of room

[dense inlet]

i've started 3 days ago, so far i bought the money box and the lucky scav one

[tiny laurel]

Imo scavbox is actually needed to even start thinking of upgrading hideout

[thick harness]

nice. Ive gone broke upgrading my hideout and buying like 15 mosins trying to get the tasks done

[dense inlet]

i should start saving items for it too

i'll try to find some list with all the items needed

[pliant elk]

So what are people taking for armor/tac rig budget build orientated but not cheaped out

Lvl 4 tac rig from ragman lvl2?

Lost 5 kits today with lvl 4 tac rigs

Not sure if I should switch it up

[mint hawk]

@thick harness you can though?

Right click and open?

[thick harness]

a lot of containers i cant open when im on the sell screen with traders

[half jackal]

@pliant elk yeah the level 4 rig for 47k is best value

[pliant elk]

it got only 40 armor tho

I'm really not sure about the armor

which to choose

[tiny laurel]

@pliant elk what weapon and ammo you're using ? Another issue could be that you die faster than the guys you face

[celest condor]

@pliant elk Super cheap 6bt13(??) cheap lvl 4 armoured rig, MP-153, 8.5mm buckshot.
More serious, AVS, AK (any), ULACH, Sordins.

[pliant elk]

mostly BT for 5.56

[celest condor]

BT is 5.45

[pliant elk]

weapons akm, ak-74n etc

yea sry

m8aa... for 5.56

i use the right ammo

[celest condor]

No sweat. Common mistake

BT will do, BS is of course better.

BT is also a tracer round, so can work against you too.

[pliant elk]

what does that mean?

[tiny laurel]

Ic , they I'll say class4 armor is the minimum to be worth buying , but maybe I'm off

[pliant elk]

I can buy BP from prapor but thats even worse

[celest condor]

tracer? it lights up and essentially leave a bright streak that can be traced back to you.

[tiny laurel]

Tracer bullets leave a huge lightning trace in their trajectory, showing where it goes and where it comes from

[half jackal]

shotguns suck against geared guys

[celest condor]

They look cool though. 🙂

[half jackal]

BT wont pen level 4 on first shot

BS will pen level 5 on first shot

[celest condor]

For funsies I sometimes go in with an MP5 loaded with green tracers because the GT is SUPER BRIGHT.... Lots of fun.

[pliant elk]

so you want to use BS?

not BT

[half jackal]

yes - best 545 round

[celest condor]

Gun is rarely the determining factor though, but it sure does help.

[half jackal]

but its expensive

3-4x moreso than BT

[pliant elk]

like 700/round?

[half jackal]

800-900/round yeah

[pliant elk]

thats a lot

[celest condor]

You can certainly kill geared PMCs with BT though. Just need a couple extra hits over the BS.

or better shot placement.

[pliant elk]

so for armor AVS, AK (any), ULACH, Sordins is recommended? I always do like 3lvl helmet, lvl 4 tac rig, good ammo, comtacs, either ak or adar etc

[celest condor]

I would not say recommended. Just what I use.

[half jackal]

Ulach/AVS is great

just expensive

[pliant elk]

well I lost a fair 1v1 yesterday with BT, well he headshotted me

[tiny laurel]

I'd argue about the shotguns being bad vs geared players , especially in cqb

[celest condor]

@pliant elk And I have shot my way out of an ambush multiple times with buckshot.

No... Shotguns are bad against PMCs...

especially buckshot.

[half jackal]

they're horrible against armor

[tiny laurel]

I've made my fair share of loot shotgunning thiccbois in the factory

[half jackal]

flechette/AP20 is still meh

[celest condor]

Even though I win roughly half the fights I get ito with buck, I almost always feel that an AK or better would have let me win easier.

Flechette sucks.

[half jackal]

it annihilates armor

[tiny laurel]

Just dont shoot the armor

[pliant elk]

for how much goes the avs/ulach on flea?

[half jackal]

Ulach is 60-80k

AVS is like 90-110k

[celest condor]

not enough flesh damage. Have had to pu tin 10+ shots to kill a scav where 2-5 shots from 8.5 woul dhave worked.

[pliant elk]

also best scope for ak? I feel like only using a pk-06 is not enough

[celest condor]

And that is a serious change considering I was using MP-152 with 8 shots....

[half jackal]

scopes are all personal preference

[tiny laurel]

The ones you like

[celest condor]

I agree with Foalon...

[tiny laurel]

I like the pso

[pliant elk]

yea I'd like some range on me aswell

[half jackal]

Monstrum is good

[pliant elk]

yea the 2x?

[half jackal]

but you need a gun with less than like 60 recoil

its actually a 3x

[celest condor]

One of the reasons I like the AK over the M4 though is optics. I regularly run a PSO and an MPR-45+PK-06

[half jackal]

even though it says 2x

in-game magnification is like 3x

[pliant elk]

I can buy it from skier lvl 3

thats good

[tiny laurel]

Or you can check out multimodes scopes

[celest condor]

The PSO is a nice enough scope for long ranges, and it is just so low profile on the gun taking up very little screen space when not being used.

[half jackal]

Honestly my budget is VEPR KM + 75rnd BP, 6B3TM, & GSSH

thats like 110k

120k including meds I guess

and then whatever bp you run

[tiny laurel]

That's expensive 👀

[half jackal]

thats cheap as shit for level 4 kit

[tiny laurel]

For my bank at least haha

[celest condor]

@tiny laurel That is less than most of my guns cost alone. Including my VPO-136...

[soft hedge]

Playing Tarkov deaf is hard :/

[pliant elk]

my budget loadout is the budget akm from virions weapon guide ~75k with PS ammo, ragman tac rig lvl 4, level 3 helmet

[tiny laurel]

I just a lootgoblin, need money for crates shopkeepers and hideout for now before I think about guns

[half jackal]

I mean the kits I run normally are like HK/M4/AK + ammo (200-300k), then armor (another 200k), meds/nades (50k), helmet (60-120k)

you end up around 1m for a kit

what makes the avs better than ragman tag ric lvl 4

[tiny laurel]

Coverage

[half jackal]

more space and armor durability

same protection otherwise

the 6B3TM covers thorax/stomach - same as AVS

[celest condor]

AVS is better because of space it can carry adn 70 durability compared to 40

[half jackal]

^ avs holds like 2-3x more and can stop an extra bullet sometimes

[celest condor]

I like have 2x2 slots in my rig.

[tiny laurel]

I just get in raids with 762 Carbines or mosins for now when I want to make money

[pliant elk]

I died 5 times yesterday with level 4 tag ric, not sure if that's enough protection. i got 25% survival rate and im level 28

not sure, I'm a solo player

[celest condor]

My loot run loadout is an MP-153, 6bt3m, tri-zip or Beta backpack and meds.

[pliant elk]

when I go for pvp I just die against shitty loadouts lol

[tiny laurel]

28 isn't too bad I'd say

[half jackal]

most efficient weapon to run is a vepr km, its 18k and can punish everything

[celest condor]

Deals with scavs just fine, but rough times against PMCs.

[half jackal]

Id swap from shotguns to vepr km unless you're going factory for some reason

PS is cheap and can pen faceshields and most helmets

[celest condor]

Interchange. I just like the shotguns 🙂

I know just about anything is better, but I like it.

it is also fun hunting Killa with buckshot.

Figure anyone can go after him with a good gun...

[half jackal]

killa gets stunlocked when you shoot his legs

you can kill him with anything as long as you get the jump on him

[celest condor]

My son regularly bitches at me about my cheap loadouts considering the money I have

I find it hard to stunlock him with most semi autos.

[tiny laurel]

I like to find everything I get out with in lootrins, rigs and bag included, makes long survival runs more interesting imo

[bronze ice]

@celest condor I run essentially naked with a vepr, so you go boi!

You can also headshot with AP20, works against penis helmets

[pliant elk]

PS for 7.62 is fine?

[celest condor]

bbuckshot is more fun though....

[pliant elk]

with lvl 4 armor

vs*

[celest condor]

PS is okay in 7.62. Go BP if you can though.

[half jackal]

PS is fine - on-par with 856A1

[tiny laurel]

!ammo

[tribal robin]

[half jackal]

BP is even better - will pen most helmets

[bronze ice]

Faceshots or legshots only in that case

[tiny laurel]

Everything's on the grid here, in case

[half jackal]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Pp8tKScb0jB66cOCJSAlNn-iKERMXd9FVkSmSq83qn8/htmlview?sle=true is somewhat easier to view

[celest condor]

Fun raid... I saw Killa outside Mantis trading shots with a PMC inside Mantis. I two tapped Killa in the side of the head (7.62BP). Then when the PMC came to loot what he though was his kill, I tapped his head too...

[pliant elk]

you want at least 35 pen right?

[half jackal]

every 10 pen is a level

so 30 pen = pen level 3 decently

most helmets are level3/4

[tiny laurel]

I actually never met Killa in quite some runs yet

[celest condor]

I am willing to but he was confused when he did not get the Killa kill. Afterwards I was thinking it might have been better if I let him live. Let him get really confused about not having th Killa kill.

[half jackal]

so 35 pen is okay but 40+ is the golden number

[sour plume]

10:1 pen is if you want to reliably pen the first shot

you can go up to like 5 under though and still either pen it first shot semi-reliably or pen within the first couple

like 5.45x39 BT is 37 rather than 40, but it will still very easily shred class 4

[gray hound]

Im level 16 and starting to get some stable runs and knowledge of the game. What armor and helmet should i go for and how much will it cost me per run?

[sour plume]

you have lvl 2 ragman right?

6B3TM, comtacs and no helmet

use a helmet if you pick one up but don't buy one, not really worth it

[half jackal]

dick helm if you absolutely need one

[gray hound]

nope, it was yesterday i noticed i have to sell/buy from each vendor to level up :D:D:D

[sour plume]

oh, well, do that

alternatively you can stay lvl 1 rag for now and buy soap/tp from flea market to get uley rigs

[tiny laurel]

Penis helmet = ragman lvl1 zsh?

[sour plume]

and then sell them once they take damage

not the zsh, the ssh

[tiny laurel]

K

[sour plume]

the zsh is the ragman lvl 3 class 4 helmet for 60k, and you can't wear comtacs with it, just a lvl 3 faceshield

if you do chemical p4 from skier and hand skier the quest, you unlock a black zsh from ragman which is the same helmet but 20k cheaper

still shit helmet though because it covers ears, really only good for factory

[tiny laurel]

Gotcha

[gray hound]

so when does helmets start to matter?

[tiny laurel]

Real question is

When do the stop to matter

[atomic cargo]

never

[copper thistle]

Hey you guys got room in the beginners game?

[tiny laurel]

Which is, when the bullet is bigger than 9x19

I.e always

[gray hound]

in the beginning i HOARDED bags full of shits. even bags filled with bags. thats a dangerous game.

[tiny laurel]

Bags in bags is fine

Still takes 1 bag slot in stash

That's how I grab the bags I use in lootruns

[pliant elk]

So if I got a lvl 6 armor on, and get shot with less than 60 pen rounds do they even pen?

[gray hound]

yeah but then you do a scav run and fill up your character and have to move everything around for 20 min to fit

[safe cedar]

I heard you cant change faction, is that true? pickd bear thinking i had to do that to play with a friend, but want to go usec now...

[tiny laurel]

I just fill the sais bag and put it inside of my infinite bag stack as the last one , still with the loot, I fill my rig and out it in stash, fit all the rest then I sell what I can,empty bag or rig, sell, empty the remaining, sell, etc

[gray hound]

well that sounds better than what i do 😛

[tiny laurel]

Use the rigs in your stash as crates

[vernal anchor]

You cant change faction unless you restart or a wipe happens

[gray hound]

need me a lucky scav but its so fkn expensive.

[tiny laurel]

Also when you go scav run, fully gear your PMC to make room in the stash

[safe cedar]

i dont care about restart, its possible then?

[celest condor]

helmets... Some people, myself included, feel that helmets are a waste of money. Considering you will doe MANY times while wearing a helmet, even to head shots, and face shots. The number of times a helmet will actually do anything to save you is very small. But helmets are very expensive
I believe I spent millions of rubles on helmets for only a habdgul of times a helmet saved my life last wipe.

[tiny laurel]

On the website , profile part , reset account @safe cedar

[celest condor]

So for some, they do not use helmets because they are a waste of money...

That said I wear a helmet 99% of the time....

[pliant elk]
