hmm
i always carry at least 3 grenades on me
phased array isnt needed for any quest or hideout building?
i got 3 of these big bois
if youre wearing a semi decent rig you can carry plenty of nades
i dont see them on the 2 lists
Still worth 200k tho
!wiki phases array
https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Phased_array_element
Not the correct result? Use !wiki page phases array for a direct link or !wiki search phases array for a list of all hits.
not the hideout list nor the quest
oh solar power
oh yea
Hideout
2 need to be found for the solar power
hideout i knew but didnt know about quest
@waxen forge how many people you got to sherpa this week?
yea
take a lot of space in the junkb0x too
okay where tf is the good loot in interchange
i keep finding burgers and clothing
lmao
tech store
tech stores
"s
hmmm gotta find them
conk
is there any coupon codes i can use at checkout
im assuming everyone goes there tho right?
yep
@formal wagon I"m scheduled all week and full on weekend. Wednesday next week is first spot open
theres texcho, at the stairs go up again you got techlight
@waxen forge damn you one busy motherfucker
3 tech stores right next to each other
Faster lmao
tech light best
They are all good
how long is an average time you spend with one person?
No real best
also do you heal while in an offline mission or no
also theres a fuck tonne of weapon boxes on ic
About 2 hours
ye i found in 1 raid 3 tetriz
dunno techlight i have runs were i can get 3gpus + tetriz
i havent even tried interchange yet
You can heal offline but it won't consume the meds used
im addicted to reserve
i did customs and shoreline at first
The only time I get to tech stores first its nothing but DVD players and capacitors lol
customs and interchange are my way to go
ye do costums and grab marked key
reserve can be hard sometimes but i have profited a lot from there
sadly i do rat customs
yesterd ay found 3 keytools and a moneycase
or proudly
best profit was weapon case that i looted from pmc when i killed him and i extracted from train 30secs later
i mean yeah if i do that ill just reverse the order
and leave through the back door there
you can see 2 scavs at OLI registers, you can ignore them or farm them
ok so i can do pretty much any quest overtime but the woods quests are so damn scary
ah shit 7.62 BPs require a quest i havent done
are you level 5
woods was my first map, learned it alot. now when i go woods im scared as fuck
o nvm
i have been killed on woods so many times by people sniping from everywhere and all I want to do is kill scavs so i can get the quest out of the way
otherwise id flee market it
ill just keep doing cheap runs until i can flee market i guess?
ive been having fun just doing cheap runs anyway
and learning that way
yeah
conk what level are you?
level 3
once u hit 5 you can just get a load of vepr kms
lmao
literally just started yesterday
and off u go
just go factory
doing cheap runs
no
NO
with a pistol
ive been doing shoreline
do pistol runs
as my main run
on factory
Factory is terrible advice for new people
yes
well im new
can you get BP/SP rounds for pistos?
two days
i will say, realistic or not
reset char 2 times al ready im back at lvl 8
Then don't ever t ell a new person that again
factory seems fun
only go there if you know the game well
tfw you see kms and feel the toxicity, my mind is corrupted
factory is the best place if you want to farm
NO it is not
full geared assholes

that goes in to kill new players
ok
It is not representative of the map design in the game, the tactics needed to play those maps, and has no loot. IT is terrible advice for new people
nothing better than that
do any of the maps have good spawns?
yes
literally every other map
spawns = scav spawns right?
no
just spawns
there are pmc and scav spawns
okay why tf is my scav getting ready to go in with a makarov
scavs just kinda spawn wherever
fuk
I once spawned maybe like 10m away from another guy in factory lol
@ember prism You said you just started so you don't know. Please don't make statements saying stuff like that when you have no idea
Harry nope
so what's the easiest way to find oli entrance or front door for ic
i keep accidentally going through the warehouse
@waxen forge started yesterday
So stop
you dont know me
You were just told by multiple people your advice was bad
ok gamer
dunno how i play and get "game sense"
You play the maps that are representative of the game
so stop trying to be the savior here
So not factory
but its treu @ember prism
and cant get to extract
not my problem mate
factory is a waste ofo money and time
@bronze ice your profile pic is teriffying xD
Because this is a Beginner assistance channel.
is there any experienced player(s) willing to run me thru shoreline resort to show me the good spots?
@flat cipher all maps are a waste if you are just loot running or just playing like csgo
We are here to help the new people learn. Your advice is wrong.
can someone just mute him
Moving on though.
Budacrin, well i been playing factory since start(2 days ago)... 10 mill rub

my advice, is for you to tell people the best tips 🙂
I'm surprised the chat is civil here
@deft kelp just listen to budracin88
not to advice depending on your views of the game
I'd have expected to see "you are skillless just like your name haha" every 5 seconds by this point
@rotund sand was about to say that but thought no
but factory is garbage for new players
good on you for doing well
just cause u can do well doesnt mean others will
pistol runs on factory are profitable as hell
And if you've made 10 mil on factory you would've made 30 mil on Interchange

There is no loot on factory
They aren't though dude
as you said map is small, easy to learn
Therefore you cannot make the most profit on factory
factory isnt profitable
spawns are good etc
Mr 2 day experience is telling the players with 2+ years of experience how the game works
Interesting
It happens

i have 36 hours in game
expert
Dunning kruger in effect bois
Factory is waste if you die like a fly
well it is anecdotal
this guy is actually a troll, yea you can get some lucky factory runs. but its not how most play the game. Mostly because its way more chance than skill, if you go in with almost nothing on Factory. also I agree with harry and Ima press "X"

same as ANY other map
Factory is a fun change of pace. I love the pvp
But I never going in thinking I will make money lol
went in with a half empty shotgun and came out with a p90 and killa armour
Even with 100% survival rate on Factory, it's inferior to Interchange
and extracted with 1 hp left
yes
go in with a pistol

no armor no nothing
You literally just started. You have no idea what you are talking about. Go ahead and say what you want. However I am trying to keep a consistent message to the new people so they don't get confused with bad advice.
always got out with alot of shit
ah yes ill go and waste my time in factory
I agree its fun, but its not where you go expecting to make bank. Also were way off topic
and lose a pistol
Factory is not a loot map. Gear/Weapons are by far less value per slot that tech/hardware
would rather run pistol into ic and come out with a couple hundred k
Factory is pointless for a new player
and my character intact
Rommel as harry said
Yea ic and shoreline are the real money makers
It's shit for loot compared to any real loot map
No it doesn't
There are hardly any quests on the map and the gameplay is not like the gameplay on any other map
Hey guys, i got a question, how do we make the inventory bigger ?
upgrade stash in hideout
@warped pollen hideout
Casually looking on flea how much a killa vest is worth and I saw one 54/54 for 16k, I was like hmmm, this doesnt seem right. And I somehow bought a killa armor 54/54 for 16k by mistake
You were literally saying the Sherpa's advice was garbage and you could apparently make 10 mil in less than 36 hours on factory.
ty
factory/ic
do the same thing on interchange
now that I think about it, I can probably stuff something in my alpha in interchange, and even if I die, I'd make more money than I could in factory
read carefully

and get 3x the money
and read above
@ember prism I don't care if you enjoy it or not, that's irrelevant to whether the map is good for a beginner or not
game is ut for 2 years people learned to play it a certain way for 2 years
cant find anything but clothing and books
I guess skilless' advice helped me in a backwards way
I ran into pestily on factory once. He had lvl 5 and a 50 round mag. Gl with that lol
nbew comers stop by, shit in their guides and make bette
rand we are wrong
and we are wrong*
Lmao
@ember prism Interchange wasn't even out when I started playing
Moving on guys
never laughed harder
But ok
It's time to give up
Talk about being ignorant :D
Yea dont get rommel started up lmao
use a map, find a shop, find the name of said shop
orient self on map
each one is labelled
I'm noob and always point it out, yet nobody has flamed me here, so
@deft kelp watch the image all the way left is the front of mall
pointless rant, in my opinion
But the consensus agrees that factory is not the best map for looting for the majority of players. If you enjoy it and make it work more power to you
im assuming all the warehousey stuff
is the back of the building
the idea warehouse is where i keep ending up
thats the top of the map
what are the red circled areas
Yea also look at the other wiki map there are several outdoor caches and good spawns at the power station you can hit tooo
top left corner of image is idea
So even if it's too hot for the indoor route you can still make bank
Can run the garbage and make 200k easy too
^^^^
Theres like 10 stashes that I know of on ic
power station is a situational extract, right?
Yea just pay
but is it always open
yeah
thats what I meant
No
o
My advice...always go to a guaranteed exit
And once someone uses it car will be gone
because I went there offline and the car wasn't there
99% of the time at least
oh
@waxen forge we can agree on that
id onlygo power plant if i couldnt make it to a normal extract in time for whatever reason
crippled or whatever
I keep an eye out for some. I always love it when smugglers boat is open on customs
Power station could make sense depending on the situation and if its open
@deft kelp id offer to show u the tech stores but i need to do a bunch of shit first
I check smugglers because it is on the way to Crossroads. I don't check ? exfil unless they are on the way to a Guaranteed exit
@thick harness There's 18
alright, this makes sense, thanks
Yea I can only remember 10 or so without the map
And some are really hard to find even with a map
Be 2ft away and not see it
the one under the brige is hard to get (the top one)
It's not hard, but if someone spots you you're screwed. Had it happen once
agreed
found rasmussen
then youre fine
i gues i should work on my walking skills
diagonally is tecxho
go out the door that doesnt lead to the down ramp
turn left then right
thats texcho
up the stairs is techlight
there's only 1 door it looks like
the stairs just infront of tecxho
Nah, Rasmussen has entries both sides
ya
head back towards oli
texcho is under the stairs
and techlight up the top of the stairs
there's a broken window i can leave through
aaaand i got found and shot
this way
lmao
knew there was another dude in there and my scav had a makarov
so wasnt a chance in hell
yeah pistol scav on ic is rough
I assumed you were in offline mode typing like that
gotta be quick
nah alternating between scav and offline
That's a high traffic area to be alt+tabbing in
run an offline now
to learn the path
you can hit up 3 good tech stores in like
2 minutes
and be outta there
what does laser sight actually do
how does it benefit me
besides pointing where to shoot
@bold kernel Improves point fire accuracy
^
much?
Enough
Commonly called "hip fire", but it's not
improves already good hip fire
which were the stores to hit? Rasmussen?
does it improve aiming fire?
oh one is upper floor
yeah, its right above texcho
@rotund sand Back of Oli for hardware, Oli office PC's, TexHo (right out of Oli) and Techlight (upstairs from texho), then Rasmussen...then (if a scav) back to Oli and get out the back door to the Emercom exit
yeah i keep getting bad spawns and having to go all the way around/through
once youve learned the map well enough it's fine
cause you can just run straight there
i know the rail and emer exits
@waxen forge hm, what is the difference if I'm a scav
but dont know the inside of the building well
@rotund sand You can pick your exit
If you spawn on Idea side check IDea office and storage room behind the office plus shelves near the living room/bedroom setups for cats/lions...then go through Goshan to check weapon crates.
@rotund sand If a scav can use either Emercom or railway exit
do we only have railway as PMC
@flat cipher So if you spawn as a PMC Emercom, your extract is Rail and vice versa
o
@rotund sand No
NO
oh alright
@rotund sand Your extract is the opposite side to where you spawn
As scav you can use either
Is this gud?
guess i keep spawning emercom side then cause ive never extracted emercom as pmc
wigh ammo?
PMC get usually the opposites side from where they spawn HOWEVER there is one spawn in front of Oli that has Emercom as exfil
dont fill ur alpha with meds
Why not?
then my initial question stands
@flat cipher He can move meds out if he find very valuable stuff
the "then (if a scav) back to Oli" part
Well i'll switch it out for stuff if I find the expensive stuff
SW corner @waxen forge ?
Take the meds out when you find good stuff
also true ig
Not gonna give some guy meds for doming me 2 mins in
Thats obvs, but the most expensive stuff rn in my loadout is the meds I think atleast
Depends on the ammo in your mags
@rotund sand Because in the route I said you go through Oli to get hardware, then check texho/techlight, then rasmussen...IF a scav you can just backtrack to Oli to get out instead of having to go all the way across the map to the Railway exit
@rotund sand emercom extract is less exposed and there's caches you can hit enroute
just watch the tents for campers tho
not claiming it's a cake walk all the time, but there's less open ground than Rail
Emercom used to be called SE...and Railway was called NW
thats what theyre labelled as on the map iuse
so this is for when I have Emercom as a scav extract?
Yea old names
so how do you orient yourself to find the front/tech
@rotund sand You always have all 3 exits as scav (assuming vehicle is there)
@rotund sand As a scav you can use either exit. I was just saying if you are looting the Oli side of the mall then going out the Oli side exit is closer and easier
You can go out either exit if you want
okay, thanks, now it makes sense. that's the info I was missing
the tech stores are all near here, so if you spawn oli side youre good
Scav cannot used paid exit
Yes, I used to make the mistake of going to Rail from Oli and it cost me many times before I realised how much quicker going out the back to emercom was
didn't know scavs had both available
Yes
That's why I said if running that route as a scav you could double back to Oli....IF a PMC you would have to go to whatever Exit you had
@waxen forge Really? Would have sworn I saw it listed. I used to play nothing but scav on interchange
is paid exit better? seems like there's less people headed there
that means whichever side of the mall I get out, there will be an extract close enough
No
@deft kelp It's not garunteed
@deft kelp give it a look if you're near, but don't bank on it
ah
I'm about to go into interchange and I can show a couple of people around if they are interested, ill be in trio india
it's only 3K though, as long as you have room it to keep it on you
Check the IDea office and storage room
Also TTS and German
Hey guys, another question, is ther comp scene on tarkov ? Or incoming ?
if you're idea side
Then go out the side door to the main mall
find your way down to the tills into the main mall ya
@warped pollen This is not an esports title
But do you guys think it can happened ? With the gamemode etc
not rly
Would seem forced to me
They talked about an arena mode or something in the future
With another type of gamemode, sure it can happen
yeah not as the game is
this is an RPG/FPS hybrid
would need something different
go upstairs
then on the left
Kk ty for answers
there is a hallway
Go upstairs
and a smaller hallway on the left
inside smaller hallway look on counter and storage area
Power Plant is worth a look that side @deft kelp Three PCs, filing cabinet, jackets, five toolboxs, a weapons crate and two caches
Do we level up vendors by trading with them?
Use traders levels up the "spent" part
and doing their quest
You wouldn't rush to tech from that spawn as people will beat you
Also need to increase player level and trader rep
how do i get there @atomic jewel ?
All 3 required for next trader level
if you spawn oli side rush tech
You mainly want to look for the graphics cards and coats in powerplant, at least thats what I do.
NE corner, just follow the road @deft kelp
hmm i always get lost in the main idea store
@deft kelp Go into a beginner assistance voice channel and go live
too many shelves n shit
Would be much easier for them to direct you
alright but cant talk, 5am here
Just listen
dont need 2
which beginner channel
wherever
@novel pagoda there are GPUs at powerplaaant????????
id help but i need to shower 
how rare is fuel?
Not that rare
alright im in one
maybe I should do the same tonight and get some help in offline 
But blue sells for about 70K
Yes, you go to the filing cabinet, and look on metal shelves, and the medical shelves
its in the little office
im offline just trying to orient and learn
learning ic makes a huge difference
cause then you have a loot path for whatever side u spawn at
It's like cheating if you know the map and the other guy doesn't lol
the game is so hard on the start
yeo
yeah trying
not the steep curve to be honest
so oli side loots the tech stores marked
is just to have gear and resources
what about idea side then
idea side you loot storage/computer hall, then go to TTS, Emercom(if you have key) and German
ah the rooms with PC booths, were they?
can head into the back of goshan from there, thats what i do
@rotund sand IDea office has 3 PC and other tech that spawn on a desk...then storage room behind
INside idea there are living room/bedroom displays that can spawn cat/horse/lion
someone please explain to me how this THING DOESNT DIE!! https://gyazo.com/e276c5724a96060c04192f00eb58b4b9
@rotund sand There's loads of them spread across the map
BP ammo btw..
I only ever check powerplant if i spawn there, i dont run all the way there it takes too much time
god that pissed me off
there are a lotta bullets on that wall
tbh
i thinbk you just missed a lot more shots than you thought
@rotund sand Idea office, one either side of Goshun, back of Oli, front of two sets front of Oli (plus six PCs in Oli)
The shots that did hit looked like they hit the vest too
@bold kernel can't watch as I'm on my phone, what did your end stats say?
well from the 20 i shot a couple mustve hit him...
he probably had a good vest on, and you just missed a load
that fucking shit was camping
Playing tactical
i didnt read that i was too pissed and just didnt bother @trim herald
You guys need to get the word "camping" out of your head
Shit on the line. Playing tactical is smart
@bold kernel Probably missed then. BP 7.62 or 5.45?
And sometimes peakers advantage with the desync puts the camper at a disadvantage anyway
its like i knew there was someone sitting there i heard him shoot the other guy, i saw the dead body so i was ready for a fight, but i put a couple rounds in him he shoulve died... 7.62 @trim herald
Then you missed a lot
but hey.. i got 3 filters in my gamma that was easy profit.
Two rounds will only kill to chest, not if you hit arms or stomach
@bold kernel If those rounds went into arms for example then you need a lot more to kill a guy than you probably think
I keep looking at the map, but can't spot Goshan in any
goshan is the big one on the right
Middle main hallway all the way back
well what could i have done to improve my shot accuracy?
i was thinking that i moved too much..
but thats just cause i didnt wanna die tbh
i mean even at the start
cause in most games ive played its more of shoot move shoot move.
@bold kernel I mean, aim? :D
i think that was just u panicking tbh LOL
@bold kernel more experience tbh... maybe you can change mouse sensitivity to something that works better for you?
i guess soo....
is there a way to detect where someone is shooting me from ? if he isnt using tracer rounds
no
@bold kernel but yeah... that fight did not look like you had a hold of your aim there
this aint cod
@woeful forum experience
Sound
Hi guys, I’ve a ryzen 2700 oc to 3.6 ghz, a gigabyte 2060 6gb, 500 gb of nvme and 500 gb of ssd, 16gb of ram at 3000mhz and a msi b450 m2v2 but the game doesn’t help me with fps.. can someone help me?
i also need to be a bit more stable and not move like a monkey
@trim herald i keep hearing two sounds when someone shots which one is him
yeah your gun shifts about a lot
also my ADS sensitivity was high... that was stupid.
and which one is the bullet hitting something
get a bigger mouse mat
How much fps are you getting ?
my mat is huuuge..
and a lower sens
okay it seems marked here, vaguely http://e993.com/forex/imgs/www.iddkfa.se/pics/MallLVL1.jpg
my ads sens was high
@woeful forum I mean, the one that sounds like a bullet impact is the bullet impact
lol
Shoot the floor or wall a few times and you should be able to learn to differentiate them
in offline ?
@rotund sand This is the best map of interchange IMO, although it doesn't show a lot of the PCs you're after: https://i.imgur.com/SQPqLWo.jpg
"Iowah" = Goshan
I looked at this map a lot
but did not see that brown area written "Goshan" whoops
got so much advice I probably won't be able to keep up once I try
I probably ran through it yesterday in offline, just didn't know, yeah
how does the bunker hermetic door work
like you flip the switch and then raiders spawn and then you just run in the bunkeer??
or can you just walk into the bunker and extract
think it opens after the alarm finishes
oh okay
i might be wrong though i dont play reserves often
I think its the opposite and its only open while the alarm is running
dunno
reserves is confusing to me idk
pretty straightforward map for me
as someone who can't ever tell what is where
I think reserve is the easiest map I have looked into
just shot a raider in the face and stopped shooting because i thought he was dead
i love tarkov so much
even better it was a player
anyone wanna play?
@flat cipher unless he went prone and is reloading 😄
you have 4 minutes for the door to remain open
ermmmm.... 40K sounds a bit disappointing
What map are you playing?
LOL
tfw i make 200k in 20 minutes just by cache running
i was doing interchange and now im doing a bit of reserve
that aint really dropping @cloud glacier
died every time on interchange
Right maps, bad luck
i made 400k in 10 mins
invest time into interchange
if you're wanting to play safer, head to the Dome/Barracks Tunnel
i felt the same way didnt bother with it but i kept pushing cause i knew it pays off
and it did..
if u spawn the wrong side just run through storerooms, pick up valuables
i just go in circles and get lost
Very few people go down there, tonnes of toolboxes, a few weapon crates, ammos spawns, potential arrays & intelligence, two filing cabinets and a safe @sweet lantern
which are the stuff to prioritize? aside from GPU, etc.
tetris
tetriz
So the best ak is the akm if I understand correctly? Because from prapor looking at stock rifles, the ak-74m has more accuracy and less recoil
CPUs aren't worth much @flat cipher and you only need 3 in raid for Mechanic quest
New bro here.. what's the best way to do dorms quests? I've tried sprinting there and trying to get out but never live..and I'm tried night times but I always die
yeah but if you can get em
yeah meant in general and tech for interchange
@mossy siren It's harder with the current shortened timers, but if you can live with the boredom, go and hide for a while and let the PMCs kill each other a bit, then head in with ~15 mins left
dorms is just hell atm with people trying to get stuff from marked room @mossy siren
plush reshala and his goons do not fuck around
like is there an item I absolutely need to put in secure container if I get?
just made 222k from scav run ic with 10 mins left
dorms is reshala and marked room
@rotund sand Ledex
and then new people doing quests
@rotund sand quite a few - sort by price per slot here https://eft-loot.com/
When you play as a squad , does everyone else in game is also in squad or you can be against solo player ?
last 24 hour my friend and i have found a GPU each in tech store on scav runs with 12 min each in tech shops Interchange ppl rush wep store and leave
nope its random
@final tendon you never know what type of players / squads will be there
Okay 🙂
oh this site seems useful
Yea i went in and tried going geared killed a bunch of stuff in dorms and couldnt make it out alive..its so rough i just want to get my traders up! lol
might get me killed if I try checking in-raid though lol
led x
just wait for them to leave carter
@rotund sand still quicker check then asking here per item basis. And you can always just learn like top 20... and then expand that knowledge by like 5-10 per day as long as you feel the need to
you are right, thanks for the tip
Do you guys prefer a scope and a canted sights, or a scope with sights on top of it?
@rotund sand you probably should first learn only the barter/medical/provisions items - as thosewill be the most common types you will encounter
^
canted is op
I find myself having an hard time aiming close to medium with canted
How big is the debuff, I like bravo with pk06
its as if you were ads irons
yeah I hate irons lol
will keep this in mind
eft lootgoblin says AESA's sell for roughly 100k and flea is filled with +200k AESA's
except now you have an optic instead
how much should i sell my 3 AESA's
and you dont get penalised for it
but for example on an ak74m I can't use CMRD and canted, so wouldn't sights on top of scope be better?
if I can extract from my dentist, will try running interchange after, so, taking my leave for now
idk
can i put a HAMR scope on an sks ?
could just get a variable zoom scope
yes
but you need another optic for the top of it
even x1 scopes I feel like they zoom too much cqc idk why
then stop kissing your opponents
thats cause its a 1x zoom
What should i work towards in my hideout?
everything
@mossy siren It's a tree, you can't specialise much
One system requires another to be upgraded, which also requires another to be upgraded
Yea ive started to notice that..so just do everything lol
basically
Was alittle rough doing stash..3.5m hurts haha
Getting to Intelligence Centre 1 for the reduced scav timer is a good help for keeping that money coming in IMO
Yea, im trying to get jaeger up at the moment so i can do..um yikes..lavatory? i think lol
i paid my 3.5 mil
or water catcher
i need to get that centre to lvl 2...
i'm sitting at 6 mil rn with a heap of containers
its not super hard to get money 🤣
Same Flex, but Vents are the pain the backside; level 3 strength....
lot of stuff is hard..
@atomic jewel as long as you get a lot of stuff per raid - you will level strength just by walking at 90%+ weight limit
i dont like doing hatchling/pistol runs to get stuff and shove it in my butthole
so some times getting $ can be rough lol
so is doing ic on a pmc and then just alt+f4ing with gfx in your alpha container viable
cache run
@mossy siren then do budget runs with good loot runs and get out alive
do you get wounded if you abandon
@deft kelp No its garbage
@cloud glacier I guess I'm not loading up on loot early enough in the raid. I'm aware how to level it, just seems to take a hell of a lot longer than anything else
You don't get better at any portion of the game
also easiest way to get exp is just
bro wtf it's impossible to snipe people that are lagging
go in and kill shit huh
how is this fair
need to get from 3 to 5 to flea market my shit
ya rommel thats what ive been doing, just doing Rig only reserve runs with a adar with a sight on it
@atomic jewel enter raid overweight. Bring buckshot in a bag
alright night boys
@mossy siren Interchange or Shoreline caches are way better in general honestly
@trim herald I knew there was something disposable people used but had it in my head it was magazines. Thanks, will give it a try
what do caches look like @trim herald ?
my buddy and i were looking for them
but didnt know what to look for
Conk, some look like a pile of leaves others look like metallic drums
@deft kelp Either patches of grass with twigs, or round cannisters sticking an inch out of the ground
Caches as in hidden stuff? i dont even look for those haha
the grass ones make a wood sound when you walk over them
@deft kelp They can spawn almost EVERYTHING inside them
if you alt f4 everytime you get a full alpha or gamma, why not try to play the game instead of thinking about the money all the time 
bring a backpack if you're gonna to cache runs

They can generate all kinds of stuff... weapons (got two AKS-74s from back to back caches yesterday), barter items, food, ammo
@chilly knoll can confirm getting GPU from them
There's another type too
wait it's THOSE?

ive definitely seen those
nope
and figured they were scenery
conk, you can hear yourself walk over them sometimes in the woods.
@deft kelp There are some scenery things which look similar
i need strength up badly
@bold kernel He said buckshot
@bold kernel throw nades
Any tips on how to get the Jaeger quest done and unlocked. I feel like PMCs are always camping the plane or the exit on woods
Whatever you need to get close to 40kg
anyone able to sherpa me on Woods to complete the introduction quest. not played much of woods to feel confident going in by myself.
is there a specific buckshot that is heavy?
@void perch im on the same quest lets team up
from the 6 mil ive made from caches not found 1 p90..
@chilly knoll if you know where you need to go, then i'm game.
@bold kernel buckshot
If I buy smth from peacekeeper (dollars) does it count as spent roubles?
And buying dollars is the fastest way, right?
oh?
@bold kernel Empty metal gas cans, about 8.6kg apparently
What should I buy then? So I dont lose much money?
anything really
just buy it sell it back and repeat
you will end up losing money but
just wait until you get to the required amount
Oke
whats the best way for me to level peacekeeper?
just need to spend money on him rn really
Tasks
havent got any yet
but is there a way to do it fast with little losses
Peacekeeper tasks unlock after Friend from the West tasks
like buy a shit ton of mp5's and sell them back
Yes
just do anything.. money is easy to make back
But you will lose some on the transaction
not so easy for me it seems
how many hours did it take you to make 6mil tho flex :P?
what do u do for money
alot, but now on interchange it doesnt take me much to make that @mossy siren
learn ic
Loot tech/hardware on Interchange.
put time into it.
i honestly only hit up the tech stores (sometimes) and then back of oli and head out
back of oli is an easy 300k+ most of the time
not alot of players loot there.
To make $ first thing is you need to go to a map that actually spawns loot.
So not factory
2nd is get out alive?
Then you need to loot the tech/hardware that is needed for tasks/hideout which is on these two links. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JKzVRr6Ky8QO559YmTNgs5UbWMm3cfI2gO68XVTr3gc/htmlview?sle=true#gid=1575522893
Olie money runs are not something you do looking for combat
You can often loot that stuff and never even fire your weapon
IF you go looking to fight then it's a different story
Stay out of the middle of the mall.
i there any way i can swap an item for another item same space in stash? like a bandage and a ai-2 medikit
or i have to move one to an empty slot
i kinda screwed myself , went on a scav run , got some good shit, and my stash is full
Is it worth to put the good silencer on a fully kitted ak74m and lose 5 recoil compared to the pws?
and now i have to empty the scav items or i lose them
Before going on a scav run equip two rifles to your PMC, your biggest backpack (which should be stacked with more backpacks inside it), and your biggest rig.
@sharp ether can you stash anything away into tac rigs, boxes etc?
theyre all full tbh
dang
When ending a scav run move over your backpack and rig full (don't empty to stash and then try to move backpack/rig)
Never do that
Stack all backpacks inside each other and leave them empty
im trying to disassemble guns to save space
You need to sell stuff
i cant access traders
Yes u can
im still in the scav character screen
Go to trading
okay so assuage my fears
there is more to this game than just... doing tech runs for money, right? I assume you get money so you can gear so you can go kill people etc
@waxen forge He's still existing from his raid
no hes stuck in scav loot transfer
im discarding stuff thats 5k or lower
But when you are done go to stash, empty those backpacks, stack them, sell stuff
Therapist>Skier>mechanic
will do , thanks
@deft kelp some people play to have all the money they can, some people play to kill, you have otpions
Start with her...sell her what she will buy...move to skier...sell him all he'll but..then mechanic
So just general sandbox stuff @bold kernel ? I guess my concern is itll just degenerate into PoE style do things perfectly optimally to get the most money, then realize the money is pointless and stop playing
Especially since the game wasnt cheap
@deft kelp Do tasks, level traders, kill people. The money runs are to fund your ammo, meds, weapon, gear.
so you can do just fine treating it as mainly a pvp game, with the economy stuff/pure money runs as a method to fuel that @waxen forge ?
cause im down with some pvp
Overall goal. Do all tasks, level traders to max level, level PMC to max level
Sure
But ammo/gear is expensive so you will need to make $
so.... lots of gameplay hours before you run out of stuff to do/get stuck looping things
If you don't loot and loot the right stuff and sell it you won't be buying much for long
i guess my biggest concern is shit like poe where there's an absolutely optimal money making route and then you just do that the whole time you play because money
The tasks will take you quite some time.
@deft kelp I do the high profit PvE centric raids because I like them. Having lots of money allows me to do whatever I want in the game. Which means I can play with a 200K gun instead of a 70K gun that is more than good enough.
tho for now im enjoying just exploring
To level to 70 character and complete all tasks will take you til the next wipe easily
alright sweet
I have thousands of hours into this game, there is certainly plenty to do.
and for leveling you pretty much have to pvp huh
No
i know money runs dont get you much exp
@deft kelp You can find the optimal way, but you can also earn cash while doing what you like 🤷
To level character the best way is tasks as they reward most XP
I actively PvP most of the time. I am currently level 45.
You can do tasks, get xp and get loot at the same time
^
so in other words
Soorry, I actively AVOID PvP
Scav kills give nice xp too
ye
Find your weapon
