is the mdr 5.56 just a worse m4?
steady pilot
ummmmmm
it does have a slightly lower firerate and higher recoil by bit
its just a gun you get out of the box and add scope/muzzle/grip and good to go. its got higher accuracy out of box too.
its not horrible persay, but i like just building up a ADAR from its receiver and modding it how i want.
rose silo
Do ??????? extracts go away on shoreline? Or if I see green smoke will it be there until the very end?
white ocean
So I just did my third run ever and I got a labs access keycard I know labs it’s super high tier right?
rose silo
well Rock passage is open and im camping by it, i just want to make sure that at 5 minutes left it's not going to disappear
because then i'd have to sprint to tunnel.
steady pilot
@white ocean take the card and explore offline mode.
then selll for 180-200k
@rose silo yeah if its got smoke, its open
frank beacon
white ocean
Okay 👌🏻
rose silo
@white ocean definitely explore labs offline mode before ever trying to go. it's high tier and high risk, the map is gigantic and its easy to get lost too.
@steady pilot i mean, will it potentially close for no reason
steady pilot
labs isnt worth the 200k entry fee
frank beacon
Huh
steady pilot
reserve exists
frank beacon
It has like 5 ledx spawns
steady pilot
if you can get there or IF it spawns or IF you survive
theres a lot of IFs
you can get ledx's in mantis or emercom on interchange too
🤷♀️
frank beacon
You can also die on reserve
steady pilot
without a 200k entry fee :)
frank beacon
Whats ur point u need a high priced key for those
frank beacon
Bro what
steady pilot
you can do the same on reserve
dont bro what me
this what has been done since its release
you literally set off alarms and lure raiders
its bank loot

what armor would you guys recommend running for a mid budget gear ?

noble ice
So just to clarify do we just hangout in sherpa waiting room until we get picked up for a run?
steady pilot
noble ice
Right, I read that, but asking for groups in here gets redirected to LFG so I just wanted to clarify that if you're looking for a sherpa to just hangout in there or just ask for one here and wait for a reply
sullen kindle
The keys that do not have chargers like ZB-014 the one needed for wood bunker extraction, does it mean you can use infinity times or just has one use ?
exotic crane
I started using zsh-1 with faceshield, but i really aint sure if its gonna do me any good
and if its worth using

@sullen kindle Infinite times - for single use items you'll have 1/1

what should i do to get better at shooting
frank beacon
Shoot more
cloud glacier
@sullen kindle as long as you don't lose it of course (by not having i in your secure container for example)
exotic crane
@muted grail gear up go ham in factory with horde of AI offline mode
frank beacon
Go onto offline mode and fight bosses/ raiders
sullen kindle
@cloud glacier Just got a key tool so i am thinking of buying all the " cheap " keys and putting all of them into the key tool and then the secure container so i have easier times on maps
muted grail
should i get money first then do offline mode with better gear?
cloud glacier
@sullen kindle "Cheap" keys are not worth it most of the time - if you REALLY think about buying keys - first start with getting ones for the area that you most often are in (and live to extract) - so you can actually profit from them
sullen kindle
@cloud glacier Alright thanks !
cloud glacier
@muted grail If you're able to hit enemies with bad recoil you'll be able to hit them with good weapons later
frank beacon
If u want to i guess?
cloud glacier
@sullen kindle And you should also probably do a little reseach so you don't buy keys that don't give you much. You can check this wiki (but there are few keys I've found not described fully in the table): https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Keys_%26_Intel

i'd recommend upgrading the illumination to get the gun range

ill practice in offline on scavs with shit ammo
wheat mirage
i don't blame you.

if I use the gun range does it waste ammo?

i was thinking the medstation would be nice to upgrade, is that worth it?

They're all worth it.

i heard the best way to sell guns is to take them apart and sell them to skier and mechanic, is that true?
peak wing
he didnt shoot on site but was scoping me out like he was a player
thick harness
@errant coyote if you really wanna min max you can make just barely more rubles by breaking them down
i start with mechanic, then skier then prapor
sell what you can to each in that order
errant coyote
oh i thought skier sold for more than mechanic
thick harness
uh i could be wrong it happens often thats what i was told and have done
errant coyote
ill just check whenever i want to sell something to them
but they do sell for more than flea market?
silver raptor
Hi

depends on if they can be vendor bought or not and at what loyalty level
if its a nice gun best to check first

@silver raptor its 2 game modes

@fringe cove I know which is more beneficial

@silver raptor scav - random load-out, if u make it out alive and extract you get anything u find. if u die oh well.

I can't screenshot a blackscreen LOL
sleek grove
Beginners chat seems busy so I'll ask here, are there any consequences to dying bar losing your gear as a PMC? Can you bring nothing in and lose nothing as a hatchling? Also, after I do some practice with gun mechs in practice mode, is it a good idea to do scav runs to get some gear and practice as well?
left vapor
did you try to repair?
tender sedge
Turn your pc off and then on again
tender sedge
Usually sorts most things
lapis current
i mean, I can't really since whenever i alt tab into the launcher it breaks everything
lapis current
Yeah, I tried that.
left vapor
hmm, weird
left vapor
wait, if you monitor turns off and on, that's a problem with your computer
lapis current
It really isn;t.
open jetty
sounds like a graphics driver issue
left vapor
I don't believe that any games can do that, if they do - it's must be overheating your pc or something
probably a driver
lapis current
It doesn't turn off,
it thinks there is no signal
and it's consistent with alt tabbing in the launcher
New update, everything works "fine" when i don't directly open the launcher. I.e. I am in a different window as my main but can interact with launcher from outside.
timber dock
Sounds like it's failing to switch to whatever resolution and video mode the game wants.
left vapor
I would tell you to run a stress test
left vapor
yes, some games can cause that, like I said, your driver is probably corrupted or it's overheating
it isn't "normal" to a game to do that
open jetty
you did buy the game correct? this isnt a pirated copy?
lapis current
I wouldn't think it'd be possible with this game to "pirate" it.
peak wing
holy moly the geared pmc i scav looted who died to reshala body guards had 2 60rd mags of m995 poor guy
timber dock
Wait..
left vapor
@sleek grove I'm sorry for not answering your question - Yes, you can bring nothing in and lose nothing as a hatchling, the ONLY consequence to that, is that your life will be at 1% when you come back to the lobby.
2 - Yes, doing scav runs are the best option (IMO) to someone who just started at the game
if you have any questions, just ask <3

thank you so much. This community seems very caring and great to beginners despite being a hardcore game. Im sure I'll die a lot but I hope to learn as I do!

You have to double tap pretty quick, otherwise it only brings up the clock.

How could you heal a 0hp Thorax?

@bold kernel Shoreline is pretty good, but resort is high risk

bold kernel
where on shoreline
trim herald
Resort
bold kernel
seeing as thats the map ik most might aswell..
trim herald
Plenty of loot rooms with med boxes
bold kernel
hm.. i need keys tho right?
trim herald
Not for all of them, but for quite a few of them
bold kernel
hm.. ive never ran resort before so idek honestly...
i really need to lvl up from 18 to 20 lol... its how ill get most my traders up
fickle kettle
just play it slow
bold kernel
well its what im tryna do mainly rn..
need lvl 3 for my hideout
is there a way to "refill" surgery kits? what do I do with my 1/5 CMS?
sleek grove
getting an odd screen refresh bug where a solid horizontal line seems to refresh up my screen. Any fixes?
steady pilot
@bold kernel no
quasi breach
Is the M4A1 Standard good?
sleek grove
having a screen refresh issue, do I need to do something in graphics options?
quasi breach
@trim herald And for beginners?
Or is it more to people who know what they are doing
quasi breach
Hmm
trim herald
It's not a hard gun to use really, but you need good ammo
quasi breach
I've seen many people use it and have it completely decked out
so I was wondering why it's so good and what makes it good
quasi breach

bold kernel
archangel or monte carlo mosin?
steady pilot
sv98
quasi breach
What is the quickest way to level to 5?
quasi breach
So far I only achieved level 3
trim herald
Shoot stuff
steady pilot
Go to handbook and examine
trim herald
In the head, preferably
bold kernel
I have a mosin with a kochetov/PU installed on it and wanted to use it
should I just sell the mosin then
steady pilot
Sv98
- cost 25k
-40 ergo
-140 recoil
-has mags
-rail ready to mount optics
-suppressor is 25k
Mosin
-30k
-5 ergo
-180 recoil
-suppressor cost 40k
-need kochetov mounting
-internal mag with only 5 rounds and loses a round everytime you press R
quasi breach
Tbh, at the moment and yesterday I was just running around with a shitty pistol looting stuff
haven't died so far luckily
steady pilot
Mosin and PU is fine I guess
Wouldnt spend anymore money on it
Even buying archangel sv98 ends up with better stats still lol
bold kernel
why do people use mosin then if its so inferior? and like the mosin costs more on the market
quasi breach
High damage ^
stone surge
i cant use sv98 for some reason, almost any scope i put on it I get black borders in my scope
that are quite big
quasi breach
And you can get it von scavs easily
steady pilot
Because people dumb
bold kernel
but isnt damage based on bullets
quasi breach
It's probably mainly cuz you get it from scavs
steady pilot
Also mosin quest
quasi breach
while the sv98 is a bit more rare
steady pilot
Sv98 is cheaper
bold kernel
ooh theres a quest for the mosin gotcha
bold kernel
I'll keep this mosin then and use the sv
steady pilot
Use a 1p59 scope
Its 13k
Sv98 with 1p59 isnlike 37k
Suppressor is 25k if you want one
bold kernel
using a sv98 while planting the sv98 for a quest, feelsweirdman
bold kernel
monkaS
Fuck thats right
how will the game recognize which is which
I dont think I can do it lol
steady pilot
I feel like if it's in your hand it might not
Or you can just drop on ground
You are helpless regardless during planting
bold kernel
yeah to make it bug out and be gone forever Kappa
I'll try it offline and see what happens

oh right the MK is a compensator lmao it looks like a suppressor
naive lion
can you not reload guns without an internal magazine in your stash? e.g. shotguns?
bold kernel
why do you suggest the 1p59 as a scope?
peak wing
hey delta!
steady pilot
Yo
bold kernel
Also; if you buy pieces from Traders on the flea market, does it contribute to the amount of money you've spent on them? Or do I need to go to their trader specific window?
steady pilot
It counts either way
peak wing
any recommendations on which pricey parts of the hideout to get? water collector worth it?
peak wing
does shooting range give u unlim ammo? i usually just test weapons in offline
trim herald
Yes
steady pilot
They are minor conveniences
peak wing
med station def nice for the ifak crafts
steady pilot
It uses ammo inside but refreshes on exit
lofty crater
I'm doing gunsmith parts 2 for mechanic , i made the ak by his parameters , but i cannot turn it in.
spiral dirge
Just walk away a bit and go back and it refreshes don't have to exit
steady pilot
You can have mags to reload to aswell as long as it's in rig
muted grail
Why does the website never send any confirmation codes through email?
peak wing
so shooting range is basically like offline? no real time usage
steady pilot
@peak wing yep
trim herald
@lofty crater either you didn't fold it, or you have the wrong gun
steady pilot
@lofty crater did you follow the wiki guide
lofty crater
yes
trim herald
Make sure you don't have an aks-un
lofty crater
both those things done
lofty crater
bold kernel
7N1 or SNB for the sv?
trim herald
No muzzle
peak wing
thanks again for all the help here the last week. the game def is getting more fun, when running a bit more comfortable
gonna start running higher gears soon
lofty crater
what muzzle should i put then
trim herald
Pretty sure almost any muzzle is good enough honestly
bold kernel
So how is that sometimes I will pump a full 20 rounds in a scav at close range and they are all good
Like is armour that good?
peak wing
i like using the venom muzzle on the aks, if have a bit to spare
lofty crater
that was it @steady pilot thanks
bold kernel
I had a 74u, 20round mag (not sure of bullete coz I was scav and didn't check)
Does the 7n1 onetap chest? if so it might be worth using, but if not I will buy snb because it penetrates 6 aswell
I emtpy the whole clip into the chest without missing a shot and its no big deal
lofty crater
@steady pilot yeah imma do that with part 3 now
peak wing
been running the vepr alot as well. have any idea what min recoil would be and how much in $mods to expect
have it at 93 vert so far
steady pilot
7n1 1 taps lvl 4 and it's a decent dice roll on lvl 5
hybrid cypress
7N1 can even oneshot if you hit the thorax so its pretty cool
peak wing
and is there a general sweet spot on recoil to aim for
bold kernel
mmmmmh
steady pilot
That's what we said . @hybrid cypress
trim herald
@bold kernel Shit ammo will need dozens of round to deal with even decent armour. So make sure your ammo is always good
muted grail
can someone please tell me how to recieve the confirmation email to log in?

scavs can spawn with level 4 armor so they could eat up some lower tier ammos
steady pilot
@muted grail #community-support
steel torrent
Sorry for interrupting but do scavs and pmcs have different time to get to extraction? (Bc i load to customs as a scav and only gives me 15 mins and in factory only 10)
steady pilot
@steel torrent scaving just spawns later in a raid
exotic crane
hmm i'v been playing with my adar for a bit but sks seems pretty darn good too what would be the main reasons to pick one or the other?
steady pilot
Each raid is a set time . Everyone is on the same timer because it's not player specific its lobby specific
steel torrent
@steady pilot so i just have to get lucky if i want to stay a bit more?😂
bold kernel
hmm i wanna try to change my budget build for interchange up a bit, what do yall think the next weapon should be? armor and helmet too, and backpack
steady pilot
@steel torrent server times were reduced by 20mins
Because of mass influx of players
And not enough lobbies to go around
They are upgrading infrastructure as we speak
steel torrent
@steady pilot bc im struggling with the extract points thats all 😂
steady pilot
@steel torrent then you need to go to wiki and use offline modd with pmc
bold kernel
anyone?

@bold kernel keeping the meme-theme?

@bold kernel vepr 136 is fine, cheap ak is also fine

Hmm, I am trying to solo kill players on Interchange for Chumming.
What's the strat here?
bold kernel
what ak would ya say,? i have a vepr 136 good layout not too expensive, but i want an ak for the optional AUTO
steady pilot
Strong interchange gun is vss
bold kernel
im bad at taping fast.
bold kernel
yeah i was doing that earlier..
bold kernel
what ammo and scope do u run?
steady pilot
No
past lodge
Or is there a difference between the two?
past lodge
Righto. VSS time.
trim herald
Ak74n
steady pilot
Same stats
trim herald
Is fine
past lodge
So, VSS, good ammo, some stuff.
steady pilot
Sp6 ammo
bold kernel
do u have a good mod layout for that u could send me rommel?
past lodge
What's the engagement strat? Stay outside? Push inside?
bold kernel
what scope and mags do u run too delta?

On my phone so no :D

delta what mag and scope do u run on vss? ::p
past lodge
What's this about turning a gun sideways?
trim herald
Canted backup optic, @past lodge
bold kernel
thats what i was saying earlier
steady pilot
It's a back up optic for when you got scopes
bold kernel
really overpriced asf..
trim herald
Or when you want to meta
bold kernel
what about scope? just an OKP7?
stone surge
pk-06
steady pilot
Only mets because it ignores ergonand ads fast af
peak wing
how much in mods for an entry level vss
steady pilot
Stupid bug
trim herald
Yes
past lodge
Huh. So use the canted sight and a magnified optic on the VSS?
trim herald
Hardly anything ice
steady pilot
@peak wing 40k no modding needed
stone surge
@peak wing no mods
bold kernel
is highcom trooper like the best armor cost/value wise?
steady pilot
You add sight and go to go
past lodge
No mods?
steady pilot
Vss is 44 recoil
steady pilot
Sp6 is 43 pen
peak wing
sounds like a fun gun. the ammo penetration looks sweet
bold kernel
running an AK74n what ammo should i go with 7N39 or BS?
trim herald
Bs
past lodge
So, am I sniping with this VSS or am I getting inside the interchange and shooting?
steady pilot
It's a quiet as fuck rifle with no recoil and drops geared boys like a sack of potatoes
stone surge
BS never 7n39 except if ur only goal is to kill killa
trim herald
Sniping is awkward with the vss
bold kernel
Gotcha.
peak wing
even sp-5 looks ok for the bottom pick
steady pilot
Vss has a lot of drop past 75m
trim herald
Subsonics are a bit trash for it
bold kernel
isnt there a trader that at high level sells top tier ammo for cheaper than flea?
trim herald
Yes @bold kernel
tender charm
what does 6 or more cells mean on a gun
bold kernel
who
steady pilot
Sp6 is minimum
trim herald
Prapor for BS
steady pilot
@tender charm how many squares it takes up
trim herald
@tender charm Fold it
peak wing
vss should fit well too for customs?
stone surge
Man, since they screwed over flea market, crafting isnt even that great anymore 😦
steady pilot
@peak wing yes
trim herald
Fold it and make sure it's not an aks-un @tender charm
steady pilot
Probably another person who bot ak74u off market with no muzzle
tender charm
steady pilot
You dont have the muzzle
trim herald
@peak wing I don't like it for customs as there are plenty of 100+m sightlines
steady pilot
@tender charm in the future buy the stock guns from traders. They wont have missing parts
trim herald
And the vss is rough at those ranges
tender charm
didn't know sellers traded this one my bad
past lodge
peak wing
@trim herald true. the majority of my critical engagements there usually under 100m i feel
steady pilot
Might as well get an ergo grip
past lodge
Yeah, I sort of did that before you told me not to do it.
bold kernel
whats a good close-medium range scope for AK74N
past lodge
So I am running this with Irons?
steady pilot
@peak wing it's fine for customs most engagements are sub 50m
peak wing
been rotating vpo 136 and ak 103 atm with some mods. those fine picks?
steady pilot
Yeah
bold kernel
anyone recommend one at all?
peak wing
vss seems sweet with the integrated silencer
steady pilot
Budget picks
Yeah it's a suppressed gun. Cost 40k. And slaps armored thicc boys
No recoil
steady pilot
Only downside is the drop
past lodge
Hmm, I suck with irons, so I am getting one of the side mounted 1x optics
peak wing
even with single fire, gets tough to hit on 100m+?
steady pilot
Pso 100% with vss
Okp7 is good for cqb
@peak wing its just slow and a lot of drop
Requires lead
bold kernel
what med range close range scope good for ak74n?
steady pilot
It's a fat ass pistol round
naive lion
Is there a hideout guide somewhere?

it has been like this for weeks
steady pilot
Did you get the pre reqs.
bold kernel
Should just get rid of the ammo packs right?

Your mistake is sp5

Sp6 is minimum
