every ti me someone i talk to sells their keys
they wish they had them when they can use them
I'll be stressed tonight, now that I'm 0/2 in both runs and haven't even seen the guys killing me, hah
I used to keep a copy of all keys I found, every single one of them. Flea market makes it unnecessary now.
how fast should I be moving from oli to mall stores in interchange? surely not sprinting across the hallways, right?
oof I suck at this game lol
Came in with a VPO 366 sniper
Uhhh, I just looted dead PMCs and 2 caches, lol
http://puu.sh/F5znH/f2f3c93708.jpg
@lilac belfry I was
faster you are moving, the more risk. Generaly speaking, so up to you.
Im about to do a comparison video
I realized that scouting up the area indoors is not very easy due to lack of light
@celest condor you are pretty good at this game yes?
Well I suck at the game, but I do know lots about the game and I can make money in it.
night time interchange is what I do the most.
how lol
carefully
isn't it pitch black
once inside nah
no not very carefully. I am pretty reckless in there ๐
you just need to be wary of NODs/thermal boys
what gun do you use
MP-153 mostly....
would I be fine with a rifle? or is a shotgun better during the night time
Two really safe loot runs you can do. Either the garage or caches.
Rifles are always better if you want to actually kill things.
Killing PMCs is hard with buckshot ๐
I just need to get better at actually moving through and killing
cause I just had a 10 min shoreline run with 0 xp lol
were you able to extract
nope
Then if I move upstairs in the mall, which I generally do, I need to move a little more carefully.
ah
happens to me all the time
lol it sucks
how do i refuel my containers?
I can't ever get my pmc out
scav isn't bad to extract, pmc near impossible
I have 3/40 success rate by now, and 2 were in factory, I think, lol
OLI, back right corner, shelves along back of OLI and stores being renovated are good sources for fuel containers.
well
guess I'm gonna try a night run on interchange
worst case I get some items in the gamma
anyone want to learn an easy money run on interchange?
is it tech store?
garage is what I normally teach new playres.
from there they move on to tech stores, then OLI and Idea. Then from there roaming the mall.
If interested scroll ALL the way down adn join me in [5] Juliet
is there stuff in garage
For an easy loot run on Interchange.
Not going to make much in a group, but great safe money maker solo or as a duo..
13 weapon boxes, 3 duffles, 1 grenade box... If I am counting in my head right.
I think I moved fast past garage last night, thinking I need to find the stairs fast
Anyone else for an easy interchange loot run?
would be nice, but at office, unfortunately
I probably need to stop it and get some help at one point, though
is the giant metal fuel tank really only worth 8k?
No, that's empty
mine is full how much
Jaegar sells them for 64k at level 2
people aer buying them for 70-80k
because they are scrubs and haven't unlocked Level 2 yet
filters dont work it so stupid. i put condition min 100 and it shows me empty fueltanks
well that's because you gotta scroll
Blues are just better
because crafting magazine case
yup
but
that means you have to have lavatory 3
and 3 bolts and 3 screws metal clippers and two blue fuel tanks
or
I'm pretty sure empty blues sell well tho
you can just play bullet sale game and still make muns
is there an essential hideout upgrade that would be worth getting stuff from flea for
I think I just built some level 1 stuff and left it there
its good to get the firing range going
Workbench 1 so you unlock presets
oh I need a bunch of stuff for illumination 2 so that I can get shooting range, I see
hoard lightbulbs
how da fuck i do this with a vep
Fragmentation or what @open jetty said
happens all the time
@celest condor would like to join u since i did not master interchange yet still struggling with all the maps
i got one shot popped in the face by a scav ;[
he had a pistol
how do i sometimes live with my face at 0
@Twitch.tv/Rasudan#5755 [5] Juliet if you want a boring interchange loot run
err head
or anyone else
you can back out
yikes 1v2 geared guys in techlight, dying to scav bots on the way to extract
fuck me why didnt i bring cms
@wet moss head can go to zero through blood loss and you will not die
When is wipe
@hushed sundial why? Just play and have fun.
But if you really need to know, roughly 5 months is last we heard about a week ago
They mentioned in about 5 months.
Or what is the reason for the wipe
They usually wipe with larger patches.
wipes happen at a major patch when they need to.
Ahh I see
Have seen one patch because economy got too messed up, that was still incorporated into a patch though. Just not as major as most.
Do we have details on the next patch
Big thing I remember is Steam Audio and streets of Tarkov.
I don't think they've given a definitive answer to whether they'll have post-launch wipes (seasons/leagues if you will) so they're probably mulling it over.
Also some kind of weight system overhaul.
But I am pretty sure we will be getting steam audio in the next patch, without a wipe.
yes weight too
O cool
Original plan was no wipes. Last I heard was two character. One seasonal, the other not seasonal. Some of the stuff from the seasonal character could transfer to non-seasonal character.
Hopefully steam audio will fix sound issues.
Yeah, if they take a page from Path of Exile's book that'd be sweet.
It'd mean potentially having to split the player base, though, depending on how they go about it.
for sanitary standards part 1, is it easier to find the gas analyzer or get access to the pumping station at factory?
find the gas analyzers. I suggest interchange. Front shelves of OLI, tech shops and IDEA office are good places to look.
from my experience people will always play a fresh character that gets wiped
poe for example
gets stale otherwise
Hi theres some settings that are used in this game? i saw Eroktic stream and his game is so colorfull
Nvidia freestyle most likely.
Reshade has been blocked with battleye. He could also be messing around with Nvidia control panel or similar.
i found my gas analyzer in a cache lol
Which ammo should I use to kill scavs mid-range from Saiga?
i wish i knew if my grenade killed a guy after he killed me ;o
any newbies have questions ill be hanging out in sherpa waiting room
or one of the beginners assistance channels
just ran some guys through shoreline and reserve a few times if any of you want to come along hmu
Don't use the saiga lol
if youre going to use a shotgun use the remington
but dont use shotguns
lol
just dont
And don't use the saiga carbine either
I mean I need to finish spa tour anyway
Its a pistol with a bit more range
adar is great starter weapon and aks are also good
Sks is good also
Ammo is cheap as hell
Mine has barely any
i run suppressed otherwise i could get my recoil even lower
but bp ammo with the sks is sick
vepr 136 > sks
then when you get a tad bit more cash, go akm or the ak 104, all the attachments move over from the original so you only really need to buy the receiver for the other two
Got a killa armor for 16k on flea somehow. Should I sell it for profit or use it later?
He forgot to add a 0 I guess
or has a faulty keyboard key that does not work each press
if you have decent ammo sitting around, yes
if not, strip the bastard and sell the parts
120 M80 and 50 M61 rounds
Guess I ll use it
Got 2 50 rounders for m1a. Are they worth using?
big mags are always worth it
Someone is gonna have a field day if you die with all that
Killa armor M1a with drum mags
Boi oh boi
I only do budget runs and got 18mil rub, I am trying to get rid of my gear fear
True
its WAYY too close
it should be like
atleast inbetween dorms and smugglers
and there is a bush far too close to the evac also
that u can prone in waiting 50 seconds
Thermal scope and you ded
i mean
There is a bush on woods too, but the car is waay more exposed
thermal scope and i dead regardless
Why are like 1/3 of the Quests on Customs? Man...
They should spread em more out... or make some of em not 'kill in X' but 'Kill anywhere'
Cuz customs is a beginner map its just that Chads like dorms
I've met way too many campers away from Dorms
If you run around and someone hears you they are gonna sit on an angle and kill your loud ass
Map flow? On Customs? So... left to right and right to left? Yeah xD
Nah
What headset has the longest hearing distance for footsteps? I am using the black ones rn
Sordins from what I saw
Sordins have better audio for closer ranges and more bass
Comtacts are best for overall use
from what i gather most everyone uses comtacs
I dont know if they really increase the sound more... more Sordins amplify them the most
So.. yknow, whenever a sound 'starts' it'll be the 'loudest'
sacriel uses sordins tho
cause he feels the extra bass helps hear footsteps during shots
its like an extra bass sound ontop
It's preference mostly
Sordins and Comtac are nearly the same, just slight diff. and diff. tone
Those are better than none, but the worst of all xD
ya they work fine for dorms
yeah fuck im soon out of money
@tepid rain Scav or PMC?
both ๐
Well, PMC you really lose stuff
Scav you just lose time
Be patient.
Train with Scav
This is not a race
Only thing you need to beat for now is the clock.
yeah well bought the game 2 days ago and already reseted my char once so im doing everything wrong atm
how reliable is grouping up with randoms when going as scav? tried once and was shot immediately by a teammate (i assume teammate)
Dont reset
That doesnt help you
@dense arch Teaming up with randoms is near impossible.
had to reset i had 0 money and only a knife
No coms, no trust
@tepid rain Scav runs, and Prapor gives you a weapon if you got 0
Just learn to Scav a map and you will make money.
I dont shoot anyone on 95% of my Scav runs
had a question if anyone can help me?
yeah 2 times i got full inventory of stuff but then extraction bugged once and other time i didint find the right place
Can someone tell me how he put the MOE on his FAL?
@tepid rain Its just gaining knopwlege over time. Have a map at the side and stay calm and take your time, but not too long ๐
alright, won't try that again unless it's with someone i know
@dense arch I usually wiggle at other PScavs, but then move on my own way away from them.
Doesnt always go well.
But more does than not so far
wiggle?
ah like in siege, got it
I'll bear that in mind, for now i just need to stop being overly cautious, not getting far in raids due to it.
well my average life span is 3:21 ๐
roughly the same temetso xD
i couldnt think of the right word
i backed out to buy nades
did somethin
but forgot to check nades
aHAHAHA
hope i got um too late to back out now
customs
shoreline is also good imo
just be careful for roof snipers
i personally find shoreline easier to navigate
I've been on customs before, but i'll try shoreline after this scav run
any pros on here want to dish out some knowledge to a new player
Anybody wanna group? im really new and playing by myself is stressful
im stupid and dont know what sherpa means
if you want to run with someone come with me
just knocking out quests and teaching newbies
when someone kills you for your lightbulbs
I believe they just killed you cause they can
do u guys know if the skier quest is bugged? i need to give him shotguns and body armor, and i do have some but it doesnt give me the ooption to deliver
Is it the 3M body armor?
It needs to be 3m Body armor and TOZ shotguns
Which the Quest does tell you ๐
Big oof
3M isnt that rare
But are sold well on market
So dont buy there
TOZ tho you can just buy on flea usually
You will have to at some point, if you care about Hideout
EOD baby! No worries for that stash size
but i feel like eod is no good
You wanna pay that for me, huh?
Relax guys, I started with standard, I always go with cases first.
Kappa is literally 'do' nearly all Quests
So dont bet on that
Especially not being new
but its still better than paying 150$
Yes
and the thing is, if you buy the eod at some point you wont have any real goals
as for standard edition players
I mean of course but like
It doesnt give you everything
It just gets rid of the most annoying part
Alot of goals, atleast for me, Im a PVP player, so PVP is always there ๐ I go in with a goal of killing PMC
yeah I agree
Iam sadly not that much of a PvP player, so some Quests are really hard for me xD
but thing is, i wanna upgrade my PC so
rotem, I was kidding with EOD, but if you are struggling with stash space, cases before hideout stash
remember lads, ALWAYS walk through the barbed wire
yeah
LOL
barbed wire is good for the gams
i have pretty good amount of cases
when someone sells a vep for 14k with a bastion worth 5k on it
dude... i need to get jaeger but ive neverrr played woods...
@dire stirrup I accidentally upgraded my Stash yesterday, down to 200k, byebye 3.5m
And today alone I made 3m back, lol
go in offline and learn the map @bold kernel
RIP my dude
i did that but ill still fuck up
Well, swimming in cash then!
dorms are kinda a clusterfuck arent they
3m in 4-5h
Its so easy, like I ran Reserve scav for giggles and walked out 1.5m richer.
@deft kelp Dorms is Sweaty central
Without killing a single scav or PMC lol
Wish Reserve was my thing.
Either I wait endlessly as Scav or run around scard as PMC xD
@deft kelp Just dont stop running hahaha
I wish labs was my thing. I bloody hate that map with a passion
such a short run to dorms, good loot, good fighting, good evac after dorms makes for quick games
I mean, if i really really like the game is EOD really gonna be worth it
is it just me or are you a total sitting duck on the bridges in customs
still feels bad to be out in the open crossing the bridge
im guessing main bridge gets camped the most?
I would camp on the jump if I truly wanted to camp
@hushed sundial possibly. at this point, everything can still be achieved by playing
yeah
not a gamma though
but you get the Kappa which everybody does favor instead of gamma
be real not many ppl are gunna get a kappa
Epsilon isnt a bad one either.
play play play lmao
You canโt store certain things in a kappa, right?
everybody in the chat spam kaaaaaaaaappa
bruh i might as well just make the bullet damage/pen chart my wallpaper at this point
This is a change I didn't know they added but it's very welcomed. ๐
@vital igloo It'll be the same items that you can't store in any secure container.
GOD scav weapons suck ass
bitch ass boss at gas station broke 2 of my limbs as i was just runnin past to dorms
lol
bro i just evaded scav boss at customs
well boss guard
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...
i put a HAMR on an ak when i ads and press ctrl + right click it doesnt change from a scope to red dot what am i doing wrong
u lied to me the average interchange run is not 400k its death lol I've scavved like 10 times there always died to pmcs 
do i need a mount or something
literally dying, evacing, or just being in a raid for longer than 10 minutes is causing this game to crash
the fucks the deal
@woeful forum you don't have the 2nd scope attached
the top of the optic is a cage to protect the 2nd optic
link search the optic and it will show you which one fits it
lots of people do no worrries
unless you know about it, it doesn't cross peoples minds
what advantages does a lonestar have over a m4a1 or a hk?
lighter iirc
what does weight do, does it affect ergo?
stam drain
Stam drain and max speed
I spawned and was rushing dorms but I got killed by a pmc almost right after I spawned and there were no pmc spawns near where I was
did u have the count down that u were deploying
Hey guys brand new to the game but struggling to extract and get out of raids. looking for someone to help and come build a stash with me!
cause if not u might of spawned in late
i have everything required why does it say this help pls
try restarting
@river sphinx 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.
To request a sherpa visit #sherpa-info and click the link.
So I've put together a list of tips and useful information for people who are either starting out on EFT or are just looking to refine their skills.
Time Stamps
0:30 - Learn via Offline Mode
1:53 - Learning Maps + Player Counts
4:03 - Insurance
6:05 - Medical System
10:50 - ...
@river sphinx I suggest looking up maps on the wiki to learn where you are and all the extract points, going offline and exploring will go a long way
Guys what would be the next step after penis helmet and 6b3TM
6b47
The number of times you will die wearing a good/great helmet will far outweigh the number of times that it saves you. YES it can save you but many many more times it wonโt be a factor in your death or will have failed to protect you. Therefore I donโt spend much $ on helmets
its an improvement in ergo, and you don't look like a fucking dingus wearing the 6b47
It's the truth
No I totally agree haha
avs, m1
I have been running armored rigs a lot the last few weeks
are you looking for armored rigs or just rigs?
Armored are nice
Tv-110 is expensive so maybe AVS
yeah avs and m1 are good options
Thanks guys ๐
decent storage space and the armor and repair cost is fairly affordable
whats the difference between the m4a1 and the hk? is it just the firerate?
and price?
I meant functionality and efficiency haha
san 323 key worth ? =)) fast pls
Well itโs not like Heckler and Koch is Canadian
323 key is 79k
on market
ty
hmm alright
I still believe if you go full meta trash m4 is better
so what do you guys thing the optimal order for improving gear is? ammo>armor>helmet>base gun>modifications? that's what I believe it is at least
I'm not going meta I'm building budget versions of the hk and lonestar rn
each build runs me about 150k
I'd put a good scope above base gun
I often regretted losing fights because I didn't have a decent scope and they usually cost the same as a gun itself
I've been running resort and looking to transition into interchange
oof good luck man, I've also been trying interchange, fucking nightmare this map
I'm debating if I wanna run double scope a hammer and a pk06
The HAMR has two optic
Gotta buy the red dot first
Well...you have 2 optics if you bought the red dot part
will try my same interchange loadout and try to do better than -75k tonight. my first aim is to make it to stores this time
seems like its one of the scarier maps though
I wish customs wasn't the way it is, then I'd play it instead
noob question - whats up with the pages full of 'out of stock' items on flea since the update?
people are trying to abuse the market and monopolize prices
Interchange can be fun once you learn the routes! You don't have to go to all the high-risk areas to get some loot
you can filter the out of stock option by selecting settings and putting the minimum quantity to 1 instead of 0
Thanks @dusk token !
np
The fix is still super useful indeed ๐ thanks
Just Tarkov things
Just did my first run on shoreline with a glock and extracted with an extra 400k with no keys and didnt even find anything in the high value rooms. noice
Anyone have any reccomendations on youtubers that release good content on how to improve aside from pestily,tweak, krashed, and veritas?
Option three throw yourself into baptism by fire
They do baptism in water ๐
ty @waxen forge Ill take a look
Could you guys explain how scav aggro works? If a player scav kills my (scav) squadmate, and I kill him, do I still get scav aggro?
freaking corona 
Granted my first raid I spawned in the swamp in a thunderstorm at night
So this guy wants 1 rub and 1 dollar for the ak why can't i buy it
i have the funds
Never do flea barter offers
why ?
@uncut surge When you just join a raid as a scav, you are neutral with all AI scavs. That means they will not shoot or react in any way. However, if you attack a scav (Does not matter if AI or player) you become a "traitor" and all AI scavs will become hostile.
Note: You won't become a traitor if you kill a player scav who attacked you first
Because 99% are terrible deals
thats all the info I could find on the wiki
@dusk token thanks, i got that, but if I kill a player scav who attacked my mate first I think I still got aggro
To add to Mimsy...On all maps but Factory if you kill a scav in one area then the scavs in that area will be ago. Other scavs further away wont. It's a proximity thing
Thanks for the info though!
@frosty parrot That deal sure...just ignore 99% of them
game does let me add the roubles part but not the dollar part
It's probably gone already
@dusk token I think there's a bug I'd someone wants to barter for 2 types of currency where you can't do it
is Jaeger a usefull trader?
and i wanna buy the gun since 105R converted is a good price for it =))
Upgrade all traders
Jaegar is essential to upgrading you hideout
Just be warned jaegar is a sadistic mofo who will make you do cruel and unusual tasks for his amusement
Okay, and delicious beef stew is tuchonka?
The short cans yes
yes be mindful there are two types of tuchonkas
Some want the short cans (therapist) some want tall
Wow participating in this chat is a lot more therapeutic than getting my ass kicked in raids
LMAO
thanks for the heads up
@waxen forge yo I've been trying interchange scav runs but I just die to PMCs a shitton, if I went for shoreline runs I would've made some money at least ahah, how do you avoid pmcs? They are all over the place and especially camping exists/PoI like the stores u guys mentioned
It's useful to learn the pmc spawn locations and the primary loot areas, itll help you create an idea of player traffic and where the hot spots are
@bold kernel I'd probably have to show you. It's not hard.
I'll be around later today and this weekend
It's about where you move.
@bold kernel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLuMimpL_zQ
Also did Reserve: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKRk-k0x9F4
For the past several months I have been bringing my new Escape from Tarkov players through Interchange more than any other map and see some great results because of it. Having trouble with interchange? Learn how to...
@waxen forge Do I need to fill a sherpa demand if I want to hop in the train?
I could use some confidence on this map too
I could take a dose of that lesson, as well
@waxen forge ty
@karmic meadow I'd just try to do it as a walk in. I have actual request booked all weekend and through Wednesday next week.
thats one busy schedule
Yeah that's pretty much what I need
I'm fine with the game, beside specific insight I think I have most of the mechanics drilled into me
But this map, oh lord
Interchange is easily my favorite map
Every step I take I feel exposed, the cracking glass, the different floor material
the ambiant sound
the scavs
It really ruins my confidence lol
I'd like to hop in on that tour LOL
No pressure I know you guys have a lot to do
Sometimes i really do not understand the FPS in this game, one match i have 70~ FPS the other one i have 40~ constant same settings same everything, thoughts ?
Are you running different maps?
It could also be the player and scav count that is rendering the whole time
Same map, same weather, as same as it can gets
ah, will you stream your tour? I'd probably watch too
^
The interchange?
seems like a great idea tbh
Probably since I started again
yeah that'd be the easiest way for us to ask something without clogging up your schedule
rofl
Works for me
Pog
I'm looking forward to it
Do you usually play in the day or at night Budracin
i just ran to factory gate and apparently i need a friendly scav, where is cliff decent i cant see it on map.. i dont wanna run all the way to outskirts
im doing the jaegers quest
since its saturday and I'm a night owl, I can cover all timezones, lucky me
where do u live that its saturday
Cool, I'll be able to play with you then, I'm EU
Pretty sure itโs at bottom middle, but it got another name @bold kernel
i dont think any part of the world is saturday yet
mountain stash?
maybe china?
@karmic meadow Yea the crew I used to run with the most was 1/2 EU
Yeah, not 100% sure tho
I meant "since this tour will take place on Saturday", worded poorly perhaps
er.. ok
Mountain stash is up along the mountain but requires rr and paracord
Awesome ๐
I'd just go to the guaranteed exit
^
@bold kernel Took me 7 tries yesterday, the final one I was the hunter instead of the hunted
some ??? ones are easy checks
Also now you know that factory gate in conditional so you won't bother with it again
ruaf/smugglers for example
has anyone ever gotten a friendly scav pmc exit to work
I only check them if they are on the way to guaranteed....so Yes to smugglers
im not sayin check both
I know its a terrible idea but its amusing to think about
Never @dusk token ...Think Pestily did but it was probably a viewer
ok ive got 16 mins left.. here i go..
I saw Smoke do it on stream
but if i run past ruaf or smugglers boom
shouldve brought more meds im stupid asf.
@wet moss Yea I totally check that
But wouldn't go out of way to check old gas or something
i do find myself checking them a little more than i should if i got plenty of time
nvm i cant make it lol... no painkillers cant run
he gave a completely naked guy a few millions worth of loot too, iirc
If you have 16 minutes you can make it
uhm
Thinking about running reserve but I feel like without the icepick and paracord that shit is near impossible to get out of, bunkers nice with raider loot but its so easy to die to pmcs that are looking to clean up
@dusk token Just use a big armored rig and use the manhole
what quest ?
@bold kernel All traders have value to level
It's risky but can be done
Might just grind out some resort until I can get the icepick
Is it worth the investment though?\
Also how important is it to run a sniper on reserve?
Yea it can b e worth it
thinking about running a lonestar
It's nice to have the range
You could get by with a 74M or something with a 6x optic though
Valday is 1-6X so it's versatile
Of running the 6x?
It's about 50K but otherwise none
It doesn't zero past 200 meters but you can still hit long shots with it if you know where to aim
I use it all the time.
Gotta run to work boys.
Hope your day passes by fast, glhf
ah, have a good day
I initially wanted to do some scav runs on reserve before trying to learn interchange
but queue times are so high I gave up on that
why not scav run interchang eto learn the map?
because I'm terrible at orientation
Hate how inconsistent the queue times are sometimes i get in in 5 mins other times its 30-50
and reserve is like the easiest map where I can tell where I am
yeah the dome is a super nice reference point haha
yep, dome, chess pieces, so since I'm always getting lost, it looked like I could find my way around
but started trying to learn interchange last night finally
got one tapped in both attempts, but I guess you start somewhere
welcome to tarkov
love hearing bullets ricochet near me while im running around with my pants down
this game is so terrifying haha
how do I know if I went offline or not
would love to see who shot me! but I know where I can be shot next time, at least, I suppose
did you get an insurance screen
if you did, you are online
nvidia highlights let you review your deathcam footage
ah then its not
additionally you can run obs and just record
be sure to enable overlay or it wont work
how to increase metabolism ?
you have to eat in raid
so when you're hungry its better to bring food and water into raid and use it
rather than eating outside of it
tnx, i will go and get fat and juicy
i saw some youtubers test guns in a practice room of some sort
is that from hideout ?
somewhere in the juice
I'll enable overlay for my next raid, thanks
@hearty sky i find it best to eat food instantly upon spawning in, then sprinting and when the sprint is jussst about out i drink if u time it right ull finish ur sprint just as the drinking slows u down
ok, tnx @wet moss now i need to buy some mayo but i cant see how much there is inside, i just purchase 2 with 1/100
why mayo
he might be trying to use it to lower his hydration so he can drink more water and level faster, just note that they put a cap on exp that can be gained per raid to reduce the efficiency of power leveling
Mayo is for the dehydration quest
Additionally you can use condensed milk
Hello gamers :)
I was wondering... Is there any reason to keep knives i get from doing scav runs etc?
Chug a aquamari
I can't sell them, soo
oooh
mayo gives your 99 dehidration
@split vapor I did the Mayo (-99 Hydration) and took a Propitol
you combine it with water
Automatic healing
@dusk token thank you ๐
Just layed down in a bush for 5 min and golden xD
but i cant see the quantity in the flea market!
I literally did the mayo and afked in a bush and came back
if your character is full health youll survive long enough
I didnt take chances and made sure with Propitol
No damage at all
immagine eating mayo whole day in real life......
Heals faster than you 'die'

..
Someone used it
so i cant use it anymore?
okay...
Itโs a perm exit
it does the same on customs
guess i never payed attention
kinda bugged too because it doesn't show you the extraction timer
You canโt not extract from a raid
ah est
You got food at 6am
pst here
You're fine ๐
wait holy shit its 5 am
why am i still awake
Go to bed Mim
Is that a yes or a no Shoot?
im literally just watching my scav timer tick down to 0
Run a PMC offline while you wait
2 hours?
shouldnt you be working budacin
What's a decent survival rate?
That sux
:^)
Rough
No he said he had to go to work, not actually work
Idk I'm at like 38 and i think that's bad lol
watching a hardcore run
its notlike im tired
I am at 'work" but have 2 monitors so discord on one and paperwork on the other
^
38 is cool
That's the life right there
thats a fat mood
@split vapor letsgoboi
Okay I'm at 20
Oh wait was it sarcasm
goddm food
pics or it didnt happen
Waffles or pancakes?
See in the UK we never have either of those things for breakfast but anyway before a mod tells me, we should stay on topic.
Or not
Yea but you guys eat baked beans for breakfast.....
fuck
and some motherfuckin sweet tea
I give my friend crap for the baked beans thing all the time.
okay... i got to outskirts and there was no timer and i shit myself thinking i lost connection.
Baked beans go with hot dogs and potato salad
Prison food>UK food
OUCH
@bold kernel yeah it's wierd bro but it's always like this once the extract is red, GOOD job surviving
does this chat allows off-topic if there isn't any assistance type interaction
People who have done punisher
Is it worth me actually specking up the horrible guns I have to use
or should I just budget for the scavs
I'm only on part 1
yes but no well kinda
I dress them up a bit usually
I fkn hate AKM's
but nothing crazy
jude
AKM is a good weapon
Sight and grip?
akms are nice
Yes
akmn pso suppressor
no
Ngl tho those comms when we did reserve were crazy
I usually put on an optic, handguard, stock, grip on the AKM
that way is just easier
I like mine
@shrewd bobcat https://gyazo.com/f9146595dfc250356ec624ff81691bdc this is the budget akm build i run
if you need something cheap
I don't really mind spending money
its a 140k build
you can see my gun
my AKM build is like 130k
and it runs pretty well
Excluding gun
honestly if anything its probably better to invest in the ammo than anything beyond that point
@split vapor hes fuming
inglok makes a huge difference
no
I have stacks of top tier ammo I spent large amounts of money for the different guns I use on the best lol
7n39 trash
I run BS
lit send a m80 in their face>all other ammo
but m995 :^)
most cost effective best overall round
speaking of cost effective I realized I hate the glock after having to run Ap 6.3 and seeing the price and pen values
fn just seems so much better
How optionnal missions interacts with the game?
what mean
the dovetail on the AKMN
OH
boi
Youre on that quest
wat
That quest is horrible lol
Yeah but I have the key to this office
What's the point of going there because of the quest
The factory op task is jsut goinf to a room that may or not have the key to spawn
just buy this key
Portable cabin key of customs Factory zone 1 Required Used to open the portable cabin where the quest item is located.
The only optional quest I know of that has impact is Chemical - Part 4 , where you unlock a cheaper ZSh helmet if you do skier, but therapist offers more money which isnt worth it in the long runn
Quick question for you: I am at the "secret stash" just left of "road to miltary base" extraction.
Now, i have been to about 5 of these stashes locations and have not been able to find a single one of them. - Are they burried and i need a metal detector or something?
http://www.gamemaps.co.uk/game/tarkov/maps/customs_3d_maksen_marvelin_2019
@dusk token Ragman already sells that same helmet just green when you level him up normally
Sorry for my poor english, my question is how this optionnal task impacts on the quest as a whole, do I gain anything more, is there any benefit in doing this
If you insure a backpack in a raid and u put stuff you found in it during the raid, if it is returned do u get all the loot in it?
OH
no
oki
LOL
bams optional parts of the quest are irrelevant
you dont need to do them
just buy the key and save yourself the hassle
Thanks that's what I wanted to know
@karmic meadow Ignore that, that part is getting to a locked room in factory for a chance for the key you need to spawn in said room
just buy the key on flea
Thanks guys, this answer my question
does it work the same for every other quests in the game
T H A N K S
yeah most op parts are useless
Unless you wanna save money on keys
But Mimsy for chemical 4 Prapor is the best imo
which really isnt worth the trouble of getting
ahh I see
you guys rock
Yeah for one of the quests where you have to extract from factory alive i literally bought the 150k factory key used it once and sold it therapist LOL
some task op parts are useless fluff like tyhis
Mark first truck with lost UN cargo
(Optional) Find first truck with lost UN cargo
Mark second truck with lost UN cargo
(Optional) Find second truck with lost UN cargo
Anyone have a map with scav spawns of shoreline? Or is that not a thing

Thanks

Looks like I need to pour more time into the forums before Ill have a chance, and do more research. I don't wanna apply before I have a good chance of it haha
when you've spent 5.5m and therapist is like naw you havent spent enough
I racked her up on selling bitcoins, gp and keys
Without even trying
I was like damn I sold that much to her
oh while we are on the topic whats a good method to level up peacekeepers spending requirement?
i just bought one lucky scav junkbox.
^
You can buy ammo/mods and resell on flea
Better to buy from him and sell back to him since both count as "spent"
once you get level 2 you have access to a lot of good attachments and the like. so it shouldn't be too bad to lvl up peacekeeper.
found a way to make good money fuck yeah
good lick pix
Who is pix licking
Why don't people farm killa for money? it's actually good
35% chance to spawn
38
Because Tech/hardware is much more profitable per slot than gear/weapons
You get like 750k from killa, i get less from doing kiba
