which would make it 6 instead of 4 i believe
yeh i know them, the guy coming to speak to me is the second time happening and is quite confusing lol
This game sucks, why does it take several minutes to start games, why is the loot system so ridiculously unforgiving to the point where I'm playing a shooter with no guns, why does this game seem to have constant lag. This game isn't hardcore it's just poorly designed. Fuck this game it's off my computer
cia

Lmao
From the forum post where u request a sherpa: "If this is your first request you will receive a in game message with one of the following loadout kits :"
Made a request but no in game message
Does this really still work?
try wait a bit
#sherpa-info for sherpa links
i doubt this would be automated, prob gotta wait for a sherpa to send it?
Theres a faq link
They are working on a better system
But sherpas are back logged right now
So may be a day or two before response
I see
Back to the wiki/youtube studies and running in over and over ๐
Experience is best way ๐
Aye
Watch pestily if you're not already
Got his playlist lined up for today!
Did they remove the Flea Market wait period thingy?
yes
Is there somewhere i can go for patch notes?
Doesn't say anything about the flea market change there
Yep
?
Several ways
@unreal tulip You need a mount.
get either a handguard or a dust cover that has a rail mount
B-13 mount, railed dustcover, tt01 iron sight fornsmall reflex
would someone be willing to hop into a voice channel with me and help me with modding?
@final nebula I would but in bed. What's wrong
i cant find how to put an underbarrel grip on my vepr km
What's the difference between the Mosin carbine and sniper rifle?
@final nebula the ak100 handguard and slap a grip
ok ty
@clear stag one has a straight bolt other has curved bolt
@clear stag and the sniper has more mods
The curved can take optics
@pliant cosmos you should keep an eye open for #eft-announcements too
or their twitter
@steady pilot cant you put a rail on the carabine?
would this gun be good to use on customs or is that map to close
@left vapor Thank you :)
new to the game any othe new players want to squad up ,so far only played custom
so the infantry carbine is better when im doing this 10 scav kills w/o scope quest for jaeger
@balmy prism 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.
ok thanks
@clear stag the shorter the gun, the more ergonomics it is, the less accurate it is, but the difference at 50 meters doesnt rly matter , more like 200 m
Short barrels also give lot more recoil
@chrome burrow ypu can spam it in cqb even if it is long, but at mid range you need to be careful with the recoil
On most guns it's not worth
@clear stag so depends what you want, the mosin infantry and i believe carbone can't take the pu 3.5x scope, but can take adapters, the mosin sniper can take the pu scope
@tribal cove aight thanks
yea i need it to not have scope on for this quest so yea
@chrome burrow you should take that really bad and expensive suppressor off
@clear stag at the end of the day all mosins shoot the same cartridge,which one are you gonna hit your shots with?
You can get a qd wave combo for 50k and it's best in slot
Multi caliber suppressor should never be used
No benefits and way expensive
oh okay i didnt even look at that supressor cuz i killed a guy for taht gun
rebuilding my bank after a night of instadeaths T.T
how muich does that hybrid suppressor sell for?
lag
how do i fix
i think just wait or open / close inventory until the server catches up, maybe dc/relog
if yo uare still alive you can rejoin the current raid
ok
yh yh
any big difference if ur character is over the weight limit
did not notice one - but I believe you lose stamina faster
they will change the weight system soonTM so it will change anyway ;P
all items are found from games
they are never just
made from nowhere
so where do items like
thicc cases come from
originally
not all items are from games
yea but how do people find thicc cases
you can buy a lot of them from vendors
i think all cases come from barters with the vendors
thicc cases most people probably get from flea market - those do come from other players that either got them in raid or for example bartered for and want to make a profit selling
no - you can find cases in raid - I'm not certain if all of them spawn - but I did see people getting weapons case for example
ik about weapons caes
ammo
all the ones of lesser value
yea just looked at the wiki
i guess the first ones people get are from vendors
should you strafe while ADS and shooting or stand still/crouch?
it's just that those items have specific places that they spawn in (marked rooms for example) and more experienced players just know how to get them as soon as they get the proper keys (as long as RNG is on their side)
Any way to disable music while in menu?
@glass moon as with most combat answers - depends on the situation. Weapon you're using, your ability to use moving reticle properly, the need to be a harder target / get into close cover while suppressing enemy... there is no one answer ๐
@glass moon there's no aim penalty to moving like csgo so if you can move and still aim where you need to hit it's better than standing still.
I find more often than not crouching during a straight up gunfight makes you slower and easier to hit
so its not a flat out don't move and shoot like csgo got it
Crocuhing to be more stealthy and ambush people is good
Yeah you won't just miss every shot while moving like in csgo
new player looking for people to play with
@glass moon just be aware that without leveled skills and modded/proper weapons you will most probably be able to take fewer on-target shots while strafing - you will just not be able to get that reticle on the enemy as often as you like (when counting walk bobbing and recoil)
Why does the gun sells the same even with all the attachments and ammo?
because you need to use flea market properly ๐
vendors count all mods etc
but when you go into flea market filtered by the weapon - you just get offers for stock version
you need to make adjustments to the price yourself based on mods etc
so there are players that do not know that - and they sell way to low
but why it costs the same when I want to sell it to trader
really? then I have messed something out
I blame it on bad sleep today ๐
just make it a habit to remove valuable mods before selling then ๐
it's usefull habit in the field also - to take ony valuable parts from enemy weapon that is otherwise not so valuable (scopes / suppressors)
yeah - my bad then - just disregard first thing I said and go into selling it by parts ๐
so they dont care
it's a VPO supressor
new player here not sure where to post but looking for people to play with?
you won't get much for it anyways I think
when I want to buy a gun does it come with some mods or always naked like in 1st pic ?
From vendors unmodded. Flea market you have to check.
you can inspect any thing that you are about to buy - both from vendors and from flea market
@bold kernel do #521628660298678283 and then #news-setup -> #pvp-lfg
Ok, thanks guys
ok ty
@long hazel and vendors sell specific gun setups - those do not change (you get more on higher vendor levels but the old ones stay the same)... on the flea market you do need to check what you buy - but with some experience you'll be able to see almost everything from the weapon image alone (it does reflect the build)
Hopefully ๐ I know nothing about guns
Well tarkov won't make you an expert... but if you stick to it you'll know a lot more than you thought you ever will ๐
@naive lion I don't know that area to tell you if the door is open always... but that key is worth about 65k on flea market... so it must be able to get you some loot not available otherwise
hmm
it sells for 65 to therapist too
maybe thats why?
I'll go offline and check it out
brb
hmm... maybe that's it
my go-to page tells me there is nothing in that room spawning
let me check the maps
just filter by item in flea if its worth 50k+ its worth keeping, if not toss it
a reddit post from 2 years ago says the room is empty too
Why cant I sell it?
and always open
could be for a mission maybe?
my wiki does not mark it as a quest item
it seems that key is worth so much only because you can sell it for so much to the therapist
interesting
its been like that for 2 years lmao
If you took it out from somewhere while in the trader menu it sometimes 'glitches' (?) @long hazel
Uh ok
maybe it's some removed quest or preparation for future one that came to live build by mistake ?
because 325 is always open... does not seem to have any interesting loot... and the only other room that is connected to it (326) is also empty (and always open) from the maps
ANy 1 know if Sp-6 or 7n9 Spp is better for val?
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 produ...
@meager sedge scroll down to the table with values
Is it worth producing the red powder with 1 blue and 1 green?
looks like it's the same price at the flea
if you need it for something... maybe? but not really for profit (remember you'll lose tax on the flea market offer)
for skiers supplier task do i need 3M body armour? or any
@open lotus yeah - Module-3M
should i buy it from flea or try to find it?
i dont have that much money tho ๐ฌ
then there is your answer ๐ either first find a way to earn money reliably - then start buying for such quests... or try to find those right now - but remember that you then carry 6 slots of that bad armor (that you won't even sell) instead of extracting with something more valuable
and it's VERY easy to get loot that takes 6 slots in your inventory that will get you enough roubles for two of those (at least)
oh wow... i just checked and it takes up not 6 slots but 9!!!
yeah ;P
starting out in this game is so much fun yet soooo stressful lol
is it possible anymore to get into a match with less than the displayed pcm number on map selection? like with no other pcm spawning
@fervent tide don't know how it's been in the pre twitch event times. But right now I'd be suprised if you got a match without max possible PMC players (or close to)
@fervent tide i think you cant
ah ok
and I'm willing to bet you cannot ever get a match without minimal PMC players for that map (varies per map)
BUT... after first 10 minutes there is usually few less PMC on the map ;P
money case is 2x2 right
had a game yesterday where FOUR 2-man squads spawned close to each other... 6 PMC dead on top of each other basically before 5th minute of the game ๐
@karmic meadow no - 2x3
is there a map with all the key use locations for customs?
@naive lion don't know any with ALL of them - but most of the keys on customs are in dorms - and this map is quite nice for it:
where do i find a gas analyzer?
it can be found randomly... but I do believe there are places that have much higher chance to find one
@open lotus when in doubt just check the wiki - all the items are there (I think): https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Gas_analyzer
ghello comrads does anyone want to play and explain this game thanks in regards
cant see that chat ;-;
then go through #news-setup and #521628660298678283 (don't remember if in this order)
cheers lad
yeah, found a gas analyzer in a cache, after days trying to find one lmao
Easiest map or place to find morphine syringes?
@tribal cove as far as I know easiest (as in - loot spawns) place to find meds is resort on shoreline... not so easy enemy-wise
but I do not have a lot of experience on other maps... so maybe there are better places for that
5 seconds too late to extract, man im a pro
omg i just did my first scav interchange run and spawned with a labs keycard
does anyone have any good loadouts I can use with my low level traders?
@bold kernel Vepr KM + your choice of armor
alright, thanks, I will give it a go
Use PS ammo - if you have access to flea market you should be able to get a nice loadout
otherwise its pretty awkward
until you get 5th level (and flea market) you can easily go with that green army helmet from ragman and thb either no armor (or Uley armored rig if you can barter for it with ragman)... or just pick armor from scav runs
everyone underestimates the 136
PACA armor that you can buy from ragman is basically a paper protection... maybe usable against some AI SCAVs but not much more
just spawned with these in my first interchange scav run
did you get out or got a heart attack ?;)
good run then ๐
the interchange server i was on just crashed as i killed a geared guy
do you intend to go labs anywhere in the close future ? ๐
nope
@open lotus 180k on flea
ah... the key for the sanatorium I'd keep if you don't have it - it will become usefull eventually (unless you REALLY need to money NOW)
but the keycard for the labs I'd sell - it's a deathtrap for new players anyway
including my ass ๐
is anyone else having trouble matching? theres such a long time to wait
try changing your servers to "auto" in the launcher
my matching is quick untill it becomes evening
you're basically not having problem matching... you're having problem finding a server that has free place for you
oh okays
Do i report bugs in the launcher or where exactly?
that makes sense
for skier 3M quest does the armor need to be fully repaired?
no
ok I need somebody to literally guide me, I can't do this quest. I am still doing Punisher 4, kill scavs in woods with shotgun. What did you guys do precisely? Where did you go? What weapon and loadout did you use? Did you use 2 weapons, the shotty for scavs and one backup for pmcs?
When I play woods I usually immediately try to move for my exit and kill scavs on the way, but lately 1) I've been finding NO scavs, 2) I get rekt by pmcs so quickly and only have a saiga to defend myself, so I die everytime
spend an extra 60k on NVGs and try night
I've been in PVE woods 3 times and only encountered 1 scav
@open lotus The rule of thumb with any key is, if you are going to use it immediately, keep it. Otherwise sell it
so IDK why scavs aren't spawning, and why I am encountering so many PMCs
Scavs don't spawn in until 20 min or whatever into the map
on wiki it says the key is useless as the room is always unlocked
No way I've found scavs way before the 20min mark on woods
Not many though
and says behind the lock there is nothing
So what you have personally done is camp old train station?
Nah, I tend to push up to dickhead
hi i need a little help
And grab scavs in sawmill
i can't seem to level up
doesn't the boss spawn in sawmill?
He can do yes
what does those numbers mean?
even with PMC it says i escaped to earlie
Do you think its better to take a shit shotty and some buckshot to have easy scav kills and if I die I lose virtually nothing?
like bringing no armor no helmet etc.
and whats the point of selling items 6 times cheaper on flea market?
@tepid kernel Because you didn't do anything that gets you xp
You need to kill or loot to get xp
Or heal I guess
@trim herald uh ok. whats the point of this ?
More rep, more auctions at the same time
@tepid kernel It's based on XP not time
@trim herald thanks will try that
so rating gives you more slots?
Yes
Less relevant now without the 1 min timer on auctions
But it was really fucking nice when you came back from a loot run and could list everything without having to wait ๐
ok, I have a scope worth 6k, why are people selling the same scope for 1k ?
Either they are stupid or maybe it was 1k US dollars
Also break weapon into parts and sell to Skier then rest to mechanic....
Not worth the time selling basic weapons on flea
uh ok, weird
Maybe optics and suppressors but not weapons
I list fuel conditioners for 89k on flea when I know I can get 92k from therapist
i like collecting money from ragman all at once though
is there some stamina level where it regens fastest?
51
@waxen forge Whats worth selling ? Im pretty new
51 Endurance
everything you dont need
Is where it's regening the fastest
i mean, on the market
Honestly I don't sell weapons on flea. I save that for Tech/hardware items that the flea beats therapist for.
everything except guns and gold/tech/special items
Check flea price then Therapist>Skier>mechanic
Check therapist though because she pays more for some barter/task/hideout items that the flea does
Ok, will do. So Skier for weapon parts and mechanic for weapons.
so to maximize sprint time i should stop at half and let it regen?
Just break the weapon into parts and start with Skier...then sell his whatever he will buy...then move to mechanic and sell the rest
I mean I would, because being caught without stamina is a bad thing
it's not an issue
But there's no difference in regen speed until you hit lvl 51 endurance
ok, thanks
he thinks 51 = 51/100 stamina
And then it doubles
just dont worry about it
your max stamina will increase as it levels and you'll be able to run a flat % longer
51 Endurance is broken as balls though
whats up with Alyonka on flea market?
You have like double stamina, and it regens to full in 5 sec
@long hazel it's a barter item for something sensible - that's where the high price comes from
It's used in hideout crafting for sugar
What are some recommended sights for the VSS besides the x1's?
and sugar is used for moonshine
uh ok
Hello could sb help me becasue idk why i cant connect this Jail Break With 20" barell
and that ;P
@mighty jasper Monstrum 2x (but its actually a 3x)
@main heron Because it doesn't go on the 20" barrel
@mighty jasper Monstrum sight
@mighty jasper You don't need anything else than a 1x, as the gun is much weaker at longer ranges
its advertised as a 2x sight but its actual magnification in-game is 3x
@main heron Go to #521628660298678283 and #news-setup so you can get the PMC role and see all of Discord. IF it doesnโt work can PM the contact moderator bot for help. Upgrade Workbench in Hideout. Then go to flea and examine every weapon and weapon part. That will give you full functionality of the EDIT PRESET function.

Escape From Tarkov has some of the most advanced and realistic weapon modifications and attachments in any video game ever. It is incredibly fun to mess around with...
its still effective out to like 50-80m
@half jackal is that a bug?
@trim herald I know its subsonic, but its for the sake of comfort
Not that easy to aim at a target from 100m with a 1x
my tasks won't load(they did like 15mins ago), if i click tasks it just freezes
Also my spotting skills are pretty crap so I kinda need it.
@waxen forge thanks a lot
most people won't even zero their weapon properly to 100m... so yeah
Is it normal that I die but didnt hear shots at all? (was quite wounded)
@half jackal I'll look into it, do I need some specific mount to put it on the vss?
Could be possible is suppressed from a distance.
@long hazel maybe you died of bloodloss ?
@half jackal Many thanks m8
@waxen forge hmm might be the case @cloud glacier pretty sure I had bandage on
@long hazel or had thorax or head at 0hp (after bloodloss) and decided to run with blackened leg? any dmg source after you hit 0hp on head or thorax from bloodloss will kill you I think
@cloud glacier Head was fine, dont remember thorax, lost leg and arm and couldnt run or jump or else I took damage I think
Or you got sniped from far away
yeah - suppressed shot is more probable I'd say - just pointing out some uncommon ways to go
how do u pick up a backpack on the ground?
I just got a scav with a vss so I went on interchange and killed this guy with a m4a1
this game gives me such an adrenaline rush
is it worth me keeping it? or should I sell it?
@wet moss you either need to have a place for it in your backapck... or first drop your (smaller I assume) backpack - and pick the bigger one - the take what you need from your old backpack - or pick it fully if you have the space
i have space
Took yours peps advice last night and made like 800k lol
@wet moss hmm... I am not sure then - do you know that backapack that you want to pick? (have you identified one in the past)... sometimes weird interactions can be blocked until you identify the item for the first time
i found out
i had to drop my bigger pack
pick up smaller
then put the smaller in the bigger
then pick up bigger
i was tryin to just put the smaller one in my big pack
weird... but maybe that's how it goes with on-ground backpacks... did not have many interaction with such
and it wouldnt let me
Yea when stacking in raid you have to drop the bigger, pick up the smaller, search the bigger, put the smaller into the bigger, then pick up the stack
if a round penetrates armor does it also dmg it?
yes
it took me like 3 minutes to finally figure that out, budracin... all just so I could pick up a fuel container
LOL
only had room in the smaller bag that was inside the bigger
But you learned so that is a victory
but it wouldnt pick up that way
That's weird. The bigger bag had been examined? You can't equip something to your body if it hasn't been examined first (another positive of examining stuff on flea so you can equip and save time in raid)
Otherwise it may have been a bug.
ya they were examined
Must have been bugged
I had the bigger bag on, full, and a smaller bag inside that and it had room for the container
but the container was on its own (not in a container) and it wouldnt go in the second bag
didnt seem like it should so i wasnt bothered with that
Yea normally you would be able to pick it up
Morning dude
You normally cant
mornin.
Anyone wanna play I am a begginer and I need help getting started
Hey guys, I am still strugling to finish the level in this game
Picking things off the ground only throws them into the top layer of your inventory
@knotty cloak Go to #521628660298678283 and #news-setup so you can get the PMC role and see all of Discord. IF it doesnโt work can PM the contact moderator bot for help. #pvp-lfg
According to the wiki I am facing exit pointed in the "double-tap-o" and it's closed
@sudden bridge You mean as: escape at least once on any map ?
Oh wait...yea I just woke up @half jackal Is totally right. If you have a backpack inside a backpack and there is space in the internal bag and you find something on the ground you won't be able to pick it up
Would have to drop the inside backpack...pick up the big item
Search the backpack you dropped
Move it from the one you are wearing and then pick up the stack again
you'll have to toss the smaller bag - pick up item - search bag & place item - pick up smaller bag
ya thats what i did
Anyone wanna play I am a begginer and I need help getting started
@sudden bridge If it is a question mark exfil then those are only POSSIBLE
Not guaranteed
The car isn't there
Dorms vx is a Paid exit anyway
@sudden bridge vehicle exit is closed since the car isnt there
@sudden bridge escapes with ??? are not always open - that one is not
also
If you want to get out with no concerns then Go to an exit with no question marks
u need 7k if the car is at the dorms exit
you can make it to ZB1011
you need 7k roubles on u if its the dorm exit and the car is there
just haul ass
The only exit you have guaranteed is ZB-1011
Hey guys, I'm having some trouble with the bronze pocket watch quest. Was wondering if somebody could run customs with me and I could ask questions during so I can learn some shit
if its the old road gate exit u dont need money but its same spot
@sudden bridge yeah... you do not have a lot of time to get to open one ๐
Old road gate is only a scav exit
ahhh that would explain why i never see it anymore
You can make it to ZB if you move and don't stop
stopped doin scav on customs
i once ran into someone extracting smugglers boat after being bloated with loot and i wasnt paying attention... xD
that extraction is very open its crazy...
- i was bloated with loot *
I only check ? exfils if they are on the way to a GUARANTEED exfil
Anyone wanna play I am a begginer and I need help getting started Eu
@waxen forge I think it's to far for new player still learning that exits can be closed - especially with that annoying wall and closed factory guardhouse
i guess u could camp it pretty easy
yeah thats what i did @waxen forge but i ran into someone sadly...
My perspective but I choose to not waste my time walking out of my way to find out if an exit is open or not
i got a key because of that factory door lol
i hate runnin around the wall
especially if i get a spawn inside factory close to the door
Not only a shotgun its a shit weapon, but woods is full of PMCs that kill every scav from range, essentially giving you no kills, and leaving you extremely vulnerable, because what will a saiga do at mid-long range against a silenced SKS camper
i just sprint open it up sprint to dorms

Maybe at wipe start its easier but certainly not right now
Use slugs at least dude
@knotty cloak There is a spot open in Beginner assistance voice..hop in and see if they are willing
I was using the best slugs, dude
Yes you will die to PMC
I'm spending 40k on slugs every try
How the fuck?
i cant even find out how much this fuel is worth... so many empty containers up
But if you farm the scavs around spine and between spine and UN checkpoint you can do it
That's like 100 slugs per run
@wet moss Blue or grey?
You will die some but it's totally possible
5hrs into the game and it's been so frustrating
grey
153 takes 8 slugs in it
@sudden bridge First thing to do is RESET EXPECTATIONS. Doesnโt matter how much or how well you do in other shooters. This is a knowledge game. You will die and die due to lack of experience not gear. Experience. It will require persistence and commitment. You need to learn maps, scav behavior, PMC behavior, what is good vs. bad ammo. Practice OFFLINE mode, with scavs on, at Customs. Try to make it from spawn to exit 10 times. IF you can do this 50% of the time then you are ready for online. Meanwhile use your scav at Interchange to get loot and learn the map.
Keep 10 or 20 in pockets
if its full 40-55k is what it costs to buy from Jaeger
10-20 is not enough, unless I headshot everything, but since saiga is very inaccurate I just cant
wtf
to kill a pmc before I shot 15 bullets and I was lucky I managed to headshot him once
can somebody pm me i have a question about putting a muzzle break on my gun
No need to get headshots on woods
lads how much should i be selling 70/70 Sugar for?
@digital stag ~40k
However much it's selling for on Flea
I bought some for 35k earlier, could be more now, or less
Yeah, that's what I am trying to do
its 35k rn
yeah I did but theres no way to see how muc is left on t hem
@terse spade Build the workbench
Hey rommel and racin
Doesn't matter
Its built
so wasnt sure, would rather ask an actual human
Doesn't matter @digital stag
Can you pm me?
But why the game says I survived while I just ran out of time?
Just sell it around lowest
For sugar it doesnt matter
@bold kernel Use edit preset ๐
still the main problem isn't the ammo cost or usage, its the other PMCs, that are everywhere and kill every scav from range, giving me no chance, and killing me
@bold kernel Upgrade Workbench in Hideout. Then go to flea and examine every weapon and weapon part. That will give you full functionality of the EDIT PRESET function. You can swap parts in and out at will and the parts do not need to be in stash to use this feature as this is a โvirtual build.โ If you like what you made you can โsaveโ it with a custom name and it will allow you to buy all the parts with the Assemble puzzle piece.

this is the 5th botched run
when u inspect
When i do edit preset it lets me put a pws muzzle break on my ak but when i try to actually put it it wont let me whats wrong
@bold kernel With a shotgun there's always a bunch of scavs around spine that spawn in later. No long ranges there
@waxen forge
@bold kernel Probably because you didn't remove the comp. But use edit preset to assemble the gun too
Did you take off the current muzzle device?
mp153 with slugs can reach out to about 75m effectively too
cant really shaft urself
btw @trim herald @waxen forge i appreciate all the help you guys give, i've come a long way in the few weeks i've played
cheers boys
@trim herald what??
exactly
yup its all off
wrong silent lmfao
lmao true, I already got tagged a bunch of times like that
@bold kernel Use the assemble function on edit preset
there is an amount filter but when u put 100 it doesnt show anyone but jaegar for full
so dumb
subsonic ammo that actually matters when?
should be easier to see quant on everything
@trim herald no sniper on spine? what are you on about? it's full all around, near mountain stash, dickhead,all the woods around it
I wonder what kind of matches you get put into
There are no long ranges behind the spine
I mean I'll record you a video
Bruh
ye
And you can play the pass
Anyone wanna play I am a begginer and I need help getting started Eu
Ye
Usually 2-5 scavs at least around there
near Zb and fuel stash is pretty safe from long range bois
zb 016 or 014?
Airplane side
its ridiculous that the ATACR in 35x is actually like 48x
its only like 25 in game foa
I died at double walls rn to what I presume was a sniper around there
idk how he saw me but he did
The fuck is double walls? ๐
ah that , I mean i disagree with how he's measuring optics but its a matter of prefrence.
I compare PIP object magnifaction rather than native fov mag
since we have the double step "zoom"
how did i survive this? https://i.imgur.com/548hjZi.jpg
@trim herald
What's a nice foregrip for the mp7a2? There's so many
@mossy meadow your thorax bled out to zero (not lethal) and your head had hp
@onyx hollow Whatever you prefer between recoil and erg, I tend to go for rk-2
@bold kernel There are quite a few long lanes there
Thanks @trim herald
These numbers are based off an objects size in pixels while ADS
yeah I was trying to reach factory/PVE woods but I got cut off
last wipe I had all optics done and aside from the vudu all the x1's were the same
(burris, elcan, etc etc)
I'll try staying around spine but I can 100% assure you I'll die from a sniper
If you remove something from the flea market does it charge you???? Just lost 400K Rubles for seemingly no reason???
That's the spirit! ๐
idk what kind of games your ques put you into lol
@sly linden you pay tax to put something on the flea market - you dont get that back if you remove the item from it
Motherfuckerrrr
And if we both agree that that is the safest place to be if you're scared of being sniped
Then there may just be something to it
I mean all of woods is a good place to die
but the traffic is pretty steady
not a lot of deviation in the routes
Especially now with the shorter raid timers, people will be moving along a lot quicker I'd imagine
fuck dude, i accidentally put like 9 rounds of ammo on the market for 56500 when i meant to click on a thermometer
RIP
fucking lmaooo
Yee I've gone awol a lot since im basically playing wave defense games at this point on woods
@trim herald even the flea market can get you tarkov'd
yeahhh if i had done that i probably would have my 400k rubles hahaha
^
Always check the rapist first for prices bois
@cloud glacier I mean, it's all about paying attention right?
i guess i would need food and water when I finally stop playing scav and only play my guy?
cause i never use it
yeah i usually do but i went straight to the market cause i knew it was kinda valuable
@trim herald it always is ๐
Make sure you use it in raid though @wet moss
i do when i find it
not really sure what it does
but i almost always instantly use it during a raid if i find it and need it
The rapist sells food and water ๐
so what would be the next step for modding after a budget vepr mod, like whats between a 50k mods and like a 250k modded weapon? what weapon should i move to that is cheap and nicely modded.
i hate the look of the stock one
don't look at it ? ๐
i cant lol
make the enemies look at it... while it's firing! ๐
Does killing your friends counts as PMC kills?
lmao but what are nessecary mods? like to make it more durable and better
On the stock one? Not much
You can get the M14 or the Archangel stocks though
But then you're starting to look at closer to 100k
can i get some assistance
ive been having a touble getting into this game
thanks
so M1A which i hate when its not modded honestly, hunter not a big fan, what else is there?
AK if you're buying BS rounds
as in actually getting in the game or enjoying the game? @delicate orchid
@delicate orchid better just ask a question ๐
ive having trouble to customs
@delicate orchid Go to #521628660298678283 and #news-setup so you can get the PMC role and see all of Discord. IF it doesnโt work can PM the contact moderator bot for help. #pvp-lfg
To request a sherpa visit #sherpa-info and click the link.
can someone get in a call with me and guide me to an extraction point pls
ill livestream it
pls guys
Do #521628660298678283 so you can see all of Discord including the VOICE channels
!wiki customs
just open a map
What would be a good map to get pistol PMC kills, factory perhaps?
whats an ak that i should be modding? i want one with full auto .
74m is my fav
74n
is there any good mods out there for 74n?
@karmic meadow I always do it at factory with the APB
like a preset.
APB?

Will try thanks
Don't stop to loot and anything. You are there to kill...and factory is not a loot map
Good or bad?
Yeah for sure
So keep moving unless you need to take cover to reload
I have the fondest memory of dropping a super thicc boi with that thing
love the apb to death since then
@shrewd bobcat I like it
@waxen forge Was like 120k
She'll do the job
First proper almost decked out gun I've bothered to actually get tbh, other than from gunsmith quests.
Anyone wanna play I am a begginer and I need help getting started Eu
@shrewd bobcat Other than it being an AKM, it's a nice looking gun ๐
@knotty cloak #pvp-lfg
@trim herald I personally prefer the AK over the M4 other than for ammo.
Any tips for a beginner trying to do some dorms looting on customs? I keep dying to players
Those inside have advantage
If you're going to dorms know that there will pretty much always people running marked.
Yeah even when I'm inside
You have to enter the door, adjust to lighting, and locate target
@shrewd bobcat AK 5.45 is fine, AKM is not ๐
Hey but.. speaking of dorms.. wanna see what I got today?
I just feel like I don't know how sound works well enough
sound is kinda wonky ngl im looking forward to the sound update
So you don't necessarily recommend gearing up for dorms?
Why did they have to shorten the match time ffs. I have a great fucking time killing pmcs and scavs and BOOM 10 min left and I am on the other side of the map
I'm having most trouble determining how far away shots are
20 meter sounds the same to me as 500 tbh
No combat server overload while they work on the upgrades
Headphones are your best friend ๐
gotta get on a grind of roubles xd.. i need a thicc weapons case
I always wear them especially for footsteps but it doesn't tell me how far away ppl are
this normal one aint enough tbh
@onyx hollow There are different types dependent on personal preference, I only have two there but there is a lot more.
What's ragman willing to buy? Is there a good way to give him money?
Yeah I get that but if every headphone is different I still can't learn from sounds
@karmic meadow BP's Rigs etc
Buy gear from him
@karmic meadow just buy gear from him
Even if I use just one, I never now if somebody is 100m or 300m away with shooting
IF you get close to the tipping point buy from him and sell that item right back to him.
@karmic meadow Buy armour from him, sell it back
Or if you need to level Skier too, buy from Ragman and sell to Skier
He only sells PACA tho
@onyx hollow Choose one pair and stick to it I guess. Sordins seems to be the best for people and IMO I agree with that but in terms of bullet positioning you just learn it over time.
PACA and the penis helmet
But you can buy rigs from him
Hmm sure, but I need like 800k
So buy like 100 pacas
buy mrig and ssh
And sell back to him
Yeah I'll do that
@shrewd bobcat If I picked one I feel like I have to queue with a good player so he can let me know how far sounds are, so I can actually learn. Am I correct in thinking this?
You won't lose too much money I don't think.
buy/selling back loses 30-40%
@onyx hollow Offline is your best friend, turn on Scav War and go to town ๐
what's scav war?
Okay but even in offline, how do I learn if somebody is 200m or 500m away
@vale arrow scav on scav
I never see them anyway
Scav War is where scav agro's each-other.
oh that's pretty cool
And what do I do when I hit the refill limit?
also
Hm yeah true, it's more learning about when the shots are close and when they are far. If they're far, don't really need to worry on customs, if close you should worry.
^
you should be able to pretty easily eyeball the general range if its below like 200-300m
Is it actually that accurate?
@onyx hollow And before you get a feel for the distance - you can check if there is a hot zone in that direction... most of the shots are from common places
its scaled decently
Hot zone = scav spawn?
It's close.
Time to go to the nearest military base irl
hol up
Don't shoot me guys, I'm learning tarkov
hot zone - places where there is either scav patrol or common looting places
So like if you're pushing to dorms, you're looking at the building and you hear shots, if you don't know which direction you can turn your head around quickly and the sound will move with your head either getting quiter or louder, chances are if you hear shooting when you're walking up to dorms it's in dorms.
well that is not the proper definition... but that is what i meant ;P
how much is AESA on the market? anyone can check real quick or know right away?
@shrewd bobcat I do this already
I might just hang around dorms then
Closer and further
So I know how far shots are bc they'd most likely be dorms
Big brain?
Is there some trick that allows you to craft by using specific items? For example I have 2 empty fuel tanks and 2 full ones, I'd like to craft from empty ones but it keeps selecting the full ones.
what scope can i use for the vpo rifle
@fallen hollow have you tried checking linked search ?
is the kiba key worth it?
yea i know but is it worth it
im finding running a modded vepr not that good for my interchange runs, ammo is very expensive.. any other suggestions
?
ak74m @bold kernel
you mean if you can get it's cost from whatever it opens? I don't really know... but there are only 2 reasons for something be valuable on the flea market - either it is worth it (or noone would buy it at that price and it would drop)... or you can sell that thing for the exact price to some of the vendors
what ammo is that
How come I've followed the gunsmith part 4 wiki page and I'm at 66 ergo instead of 67?
@bold kernel 5.45x39mm BP is good 247 per bullet
@karmic meadow You have the m7a1 pdw stock?
what can you find inside that makes it so expensive
What is that?
bp cant penetrate through that well.
I'm at 66 ergo
@bold kernel u talking about 5.56x39?
no i have killed guys with level 5
yeah
Then yea, I use BS
well do u know of a good modding for the ak74m?
@karmic meadow Looks like wrong gas block
thats somewhat cheap
@karmic meadow Looks like wrong gas block
@frozen talon I followed the guide by letter
my ak74m has 64 recoil it costs around 55k with lvl 3 traders
can send me build?
take the lpa2f off
sure
@low meadow did not use the the kiba keys but according to wiki they open a weapons shop on interchange
The front ironsight
so you can imagine there might be a lot of valuable things there
screenshot from the wiki page
front iron sight only changes the weight
also the build on the wiki shows 70 of ergo, while I'm at 66
not really a budget build, but something like mid tier
lmao really
look on the icon by the magazine
no it fires single and full auto
@bold kernel
?
Lower includes reciever and trigger, upper is bolt/chamber
Oke
this?
You're awesome
@low meadow 5.45 BP is garbage
If you can't afford BS for a 5.45 platform, use a different platform
thats what i was thinking..
bp is great for me
that ammo pen. looks horrible
@low meadow it will work depending on the situation - but the first time you meet someone geared properly you will not do much
i have killed people with the killa amour with bp
it works
thats level 5
their armor was probably busted already
but tits not good
You can kill someone with 10 pen ammo
Doesnt make it good
killa ammo has gaps under arms
Looking for a sponsor to gear me up on a raid, thank you. Its an investment and we can become friends
errr armor
never said you cannot kill ppl with it... the thing is you may need 4-5 times more the ammo... or good % of hs
Either that armour was already really low, you hit head, or you hit the guy 15 times in the chest and he was afk
u can kill someone with a BB gun.. just depends how bad they are, if their bad they will usually not notice u and just die if their good theyll actually kill u cause they have better ammo
Or you're lying
its more of how long it takes u to eliminate someone.
it could be 3 bullets instead of 15 bullets if u get good ammo
Now you can use it if you want, it's your game, but that doesn't change that
But suggesting to any beginner that they can use it and it's ok is either trolling or you're just playing a lot of Customs with t5+ armour
And want to farm people who can't kill you
basically - if you're able to kill people with BP - you would kill them in just a fraction of time with BS (that means them not shooting at you for that time)
He is right - all ammo is usable - but not all engagements are in your favor, so its a dumb point to make
i mean i honestly didnt consider that ammo at all.. ive learned how ammo makes a diffrence and i cant change my mind
The hunter is a great budget platform if you can't afford BS ammo
BT is fine
although you should probably just run 762 rifles instead
M80 sucks now
well
its still okay
It's the best budget ammo
what helmet (that also allows earpieces) is the best one to use when i want an upgrade from the green bucket helmet
I mean compared to what it was
it went from one-shotting level 5 to taking 3-5
But it'll still 2 shot lvl 3+
@hearty crest check Highcom Striker ACHHC IIIA
sell it if you dont mostly run reserve
If you're going to use it then keep it, if not sell it @craggy yew

is there a trade for the ulach?
I used BT for the Punisher AK quest and I had no trouble killing players while doin it. That being said I barely run into people using T5 armour. Like, not even the higher level people I kill so ๐คทโโ๏ธ all I know is price is a factor for new players too, not just pen
No, just cash
Hello, how do I mount a good scope on my AK74
@craggy yew just keep those keys in the alpha container
and if you're on customs where the majority of people I see at least are running T4. BT is ok. But generally, I wouldn't use the 5.45 as a beginner anyways
the rounds are generally more expensive
Unlock the workbench and use edit preset @slate mesa
how much does ragman 4 sell it for?
Even against lvl 4 BT is not great
ah
BS shits on BT against lvl 4, and even more so once you hit lvl 5
workbench? do I have to unlock that or something?
BT isnt great against level 4
Hideout
liek a damaged one?
Don't buy damaged helmets
ah you said that^^ ok
You're basically removing the point in using them in the first place
ulach repairs fine
Ive never had a trouble with BT dealing with T4 armour
Yeah but the chance of it stopping rounds is based on it's durability compared to max
@hearty crest you can get not damaged ones on flea also - just check farther pages
BT is 37 pen
^
below not so much
like 36.6/36.6 isnt that bad though right?
i generally want my helmets 90% durability off their max
36 is fine
It's like a 50/50 chance iirc to stop a BT round with an ULACH for example
since its missing like 4%
ye
i just realised killa had a special armour
There's a 2% chance of stopping a BS round
when i killed killa i only took his helm cause i broke his armour :/
Im not saying its better
reflect is higher chance of stopping BS
Worth taking his armour
Im saying raw pen is not the be all and end all of ammo choice for a new player
i feel dum now
But like I said, if you're poor, dont run 5.45 anyways
Or you're putting yourself into a serious disadvantage
BT has 55% pen on Level 4
In a white room scenario where you're taking a straight up gunfight yes
BT is OK
but that doesnt exist
Here we go again
Because your argument is pointless
No its not
i hate BT mostly because it's tracer, but it quickly gains more chance vs tier 4 the more you shoot. it's just that BS doesn't need that ramp up
It really is
to pen
honestly if you're poor - run 762
SKS/Vepr KM + 7.62 PS is OK too
vepr km + bp
but 7.62 BP shouldn't be expensive
still cheaper than 545 + mags
you dont use much ammo with SKS for example
Use BP, they're semi autos
so why not 7.62 bp
