ok
should i sell everything in my stash that im not using?
what's 'everything'
yeah i remember finding one and thought it had armor, but ye probably shit π
sell empty mags, guns you wont use, etc
You may be thinking of the Devtac
It's a level 3 helmet/mask
ill just buy again if i need
i'd keep rigs
@royal wind possibly. just remember it was a mask and that it had armor π it was blue'ish
i have to kill pmc's with svds for a task. what kind of scope would you guys rock on it? im going to be using it both long range and indoors, so im not sure what to put on it
never used svds before
I used valday.
Honestly it works great with just a red dot.
Then u want bravo or hamr
Ew factory
lol you can curse here
i wasnt sure π
It is, but it's the quickest way of doing the quest
Or if you canβt idk why Iβm not banned
Just slap a red dot on a TT01 or DT mount and go to town.
@trim herald probably, but im not in a rush, ill combo it with other tasks, probably shoreline
Fair
guess im going with bravo
Wish I didnβt have work rn lol
has it stopped raining yet? last two days of play every map besides factory wsa raining
Would love to go die more on tarkov
yeah whats up with the rain? ive done 3 shoreline today, everyone has had rain and thunder and stuff. everything is gray
literally no color at all
check the reddit posts
Debating making a mobile modding app and if they have a data source I can read from I can do prices
Anyone need help!?
mental? yes
hey guys how do you change your role for this discord? I see people with NA/EU/etc

sell knives @karmic meadow
what is the best ammo type?
buy gas

@cinder solar
nah @karmic meadow once you level him he sells gas
Is there any way to quickly find ammo at the traders?
Yeah that's my issue I want to level him up
I cant fucking find what i need
but I don't have many knives lol
np. i search on flea market, trader offers will show up in flea market
is this up to date/accurate? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bnh12bW16dqgitOH-0iQkur_fKjh5tKg/view
ammo list
@novel ridge How do i see trader offers on flea market please? π
it is an option
Trader offers show up on FM by default.
little gear next to offers tab top left
change currency to any?
my svds has terrible ergo. can you not get a reasonable ergo on it?
i keep mine set to rub but you can set it to any but only peacekeeper sells in dollars
27 ergo
i have barters disabled and cur set to rub but setting it to rub removed barters i believe.
ya that's what i mean i was trying to help that other guy
ik, i kept typing
lol kk
I just had my first close encounter with killa on a scav run. Good thing that scav's AK-74 had a 45 round mag π It's so exhilarating if something works out in this game.

Is there any cheat sheet or something of what you unlock for each Trader LL?
Anyone got tips on how to complete Delivery from the past keep dying at factory even tried night time keep dying
once u guys are pretty geared what armor do u run? do most geared players rock level 5?
@young kettle tactec or killa armor
gen4 only if I happen to have them due to farming raiders
the tactec doesnt cover the stomach, most people rock it for the mobility?
Nobody runs level 6 on the regular
but gen4 repairs horrible so i rather go tactec or killa
tactec is good for the price/value. And stomach protection is not that important
you dont die if ur stomach is blacked and everyone has CMS or Surv12
(Surv 12 being more popular lately)
ya thats fair
someone isn't gonna magdump in ur stomach and even if he dies, it takes ages to die through stomach
before that ur either dead by headshot or thorax really.
or dying to legs/arms is even more common
thanks for the help guys.i got a couple gen 4s to get through then looks like ill be buying tactecs
Also no stomach protection can also be seen as a good thing
because if a scav or player hits ur stomach
what about helmets? i have a couple fast MTs with face shield
ur armor will still be fine
how famous is Rommel?
and if u had stomach protection, u wouldn't take dmg but u would be useless afterwards
ya that makes sense. what u really want is thorax protection
@young kettle Helments are more money than they are worth
even the nice ones?
@young kettle TC-2001 -> Ulach -> Airframe (with chops/shield) -> Wendy Exfil (with ears/shield)
and Altyn if u want best all-round protection but be half-deaf
and SSH (penis helmet) for OK-protection
So, the task "an apple a day" becomes available after Health Care Privacy - Part 3, I did part 3, and saw an apple a day pop up but it wouldn't allow me to accept it as a task
so I restarted
and now I don't see an apple a day at all
are you the required level?
yea
strange
I'll spend my money on Wendy's the fast food before I spend in-game money on the helmet
only prereq is the task I've already completed
Lost it xd
@feral tangle is ur profile pic from angel beats?
Lost it 3 times
@waxen forge it's actually not even that expensive
it's same price as airframe give or take 20k
But helmets are a waste of money 90% of the t ime
I'll stick the 6b
@waxen forge https://i.imgur.com/YEo7MZG.jpg
was resort yesterday
you can even see my altyn saved me from those calibers
if it wasn't for altyn, I would've been dead and not walked out with tghat
π
but yes
ppl shouldn't expect a helmet saves them
or going zhuk
and feel immortal
If not for them using crappy ammo you mean.
i prefer to see and hear what the hell is going on
was m80/m61
You mean M80.
nah m61 too
1 M61 wouldve killed you.
nope, reflect.
m80 was tanked first shot, m61 (or m80?) reflected at second
and wendy exfil is nice as in it allows you to wear headset
while retaining high reflect all around the head
Just saying, you cant expect helmets to tank good ammo.
i generally dont like altyn
Because they wont.
You got lucky if it was in fact a ricochet.
If there a way to check the price that a trader will buy for something without owning it?
@royal wind Do you perhaps know who quatroace is?
Ok, lets do a test when I get home then. You put on your best helmet, and I'll bring 1 M61 bullet.
If you die, I keep your shit.
he releases vids every week and in litterally every video you will see him having reflected bullets on his airframe
and all he does is labs 24/7 vs geared players.
what causes tunnel vision?
If you trust your helmets so much.
are you guys about done arguing?
i just got RR from sthurman, if i go out will i lose it?
@daring wedge you have a question?
i put it in my melee slot
someone...?
no
Also I trust my motorcycle helmet, but I'd still rather not have to put it to the test. Same goes for helmets in the game. You want to trust them in case things go wrong, not rely on them to fix your mistakes.
ahh.. must be propital.. i never touched them before i usually use painkill
@daring wedge This
yes
ok nice
does anybody know why pnv-10t seems really grainy for me?
Is there a way to check the price that a trader will buy for something without owning it?
It's cheap, so it's grainy Restreppo.
no
i watched a pestily vid and it didn't seem so bad
Might not get all the nuances in videos.
hmm ok
idk, the nightvision's clarity varied throughout the video. It seemed okay at first, but in some later segments it was really gnarly on my screen.
The PVS14's and PNV-10s are a bit grainy.
Budracin88Today at 7:57 PM
Nobody runs level 6 on the regular
That sounds like a challenge
like this is a side by side comparison
i cant see shite lol
anyways i was trying to do the same quest and got mosind by some random guy so feelsbadman
ah well
All I can tell you is anytime I've used PVS14's or the PNV's theyve been grainy.
!wiki keys
At one point PVS-14's were 90k, they still may be for all I know.
Which is stupid, because the GPNVG's are a little over 100k and way better.
I mean whether or not its grainy it's still more viable than pitch blackness
For 30k I'd say they are damn worth it.
I cant check, but I dont think they're 30k anymore.
why does the thicc items case cost so much compared to lucky scav box
But you're still right, better than nothing.
@open lotus because you can put anything into a Thicc item case like armor
I got 2 for a quest, I thought I sold them for 130k, I guess it was 180.
PNV-10T is still around 30k.
Is the PVS still 90k from skier?
nvm
I dont know why they changed that.
What about the Armasight N-15? That's just under 60k.
30240
nah, it's 30k from skier as well
Ok, it went up at one point and it made no sense to me.
@daring wedge Needs a mesh, not used them though
guys can you filter out fule tanks that are empty?
No
You can't
so the AH is full of scamming offers?
Yes
Basically.
For blue ones scroll down to about 70K and start inspecting them
Lot of new people to trick into buying empty cans.
An empty fuel can is worth about 1000 rubel at a merchant or so, or whatever you can gouge out of some naive soul on the flea market.
dayum, and I cannot even sell mine then coz people wont know
Worth keeping euros?
Yes
wish it had a condition it would make sense hopefully will get added down the line
Need for tasks
Ok
Empty blue ones are actually worth something because theyre an ingredient for mag cases. Empty metal ones are useless.
i sell my empty silver ones for about 3k on flea.
Guys a friend of mine can't do the quest that unlocks jager, he gets the paper and extract but both times he did it it didn't complete his quest
Don't know why anyone buys them but they do
@autumn sand It'll be able to be refilled eventually
@karmic meadow Has he turned the quest IN?
Did he go to Trading...then mechanic
I'd imagine he's doing something wrong
Then tasks
He's not grabbed the item
Make sure he's trying from the Trader menu and not his character menu.
Did he actually pick the item up?
He's telling me he did
He didn't
and he extracted with it
He's a dirty liar!
IS he going to Trader menu
Or the middle bar would be blue
Not tasks on stash page
Doesn't matter Bud
True
Hmm I'm gonna make him a paint to see if he did it correctly
thanks guys
He's 100% certain he grabbed it
he did it twice
so he says
Call him a buffoon in French
Well I kinda did
But then I asked him to describe what he did
And he really approached the wooden thingy next to the crashed plane
and grabbed the piece of paper under the broken ladder on the floor
I mean you shouldn't be able to see what he grabs
Rommel's right though, if he grabbed the item the second part of the task would be completed.
If you don't have the quest
@karmic meadow Just for shits and giggles, have him restart the game if he haven't since he did it.
I'm just monitoring him I'm not there to see if he did it or not
I tried to loot a gun on a corpse. It said it was "on sling" and I couldnt get it. Why?
BP
what's funny though is he says that he extracted, so if he extracted he should've atleast the second part of the quest on blue
So according to him we're all idiots lads
Yes, if he picked up the message and extracted the 2nd part would be blue.
If it's not blue, he didnt do it.
Yup, i'll let him deal with it
He'll probably give up.
is BP good aswell
@bold kernel BP is good for AKM because it can only chambers 7.62
BS is good for AK-74 because it uses 5.45
both guns are different
You need to check the caliber and then check the best ammo available for that caliber in particular

I run BZT-44M in all my guns.
does durability has a impact on gun stats?
accuracy
I dont think it affects the stats on the bars in inventory.
But it will affect them in game.
Until they add in weapon malfunctions then it will have more of an effect.
Weapon failures are already in.
noice
i have a as val with 71.5 durability accuracy is on 0.017
should i repair it already or wait longer?
According to Nikita during the November podcast weapon malfunctions are either not in or are basically nothing as he was talking about adding malfunctions into the game
submitted 2 days ago π
l
for some reasons I gave him 2 backpacks but it didn't count
and I lost my backpacks
Yo I need mad help on this game, Just got a pc 3 days ago but am in love with this game\
When playing as a scav, what will aggro other AI scavs?
hitting one
killing scavs
@karmic meadow restart the game same happend to me on another quest i restarted and it was handed in aswell
at all
restart game
anything else?
on it thanks
however raiders will aggro regardless, right?
raiders you'll only run into on reserve as of right now(as a scav)
so if i loot near someone, or a dead scav near a alive scav he should not shoot?
yep
!wiki keys
they only aggro when attacked
alright, thanks
did you ask cuz you got shot when you thought you weren't aggro'd?
^exactly why i was asking why he was, because if you didn't aggro and got merc'd 100% a pscav or pmc
not if ur not on reserve
that depends
no
i mean ive been close to raiders alot on reserve
they will aggro
they just kill me most of the times, out of nowere
sometimes their AI is buggy but they're programmed to aggro just as if you were a player
?
anyone else confused why the MOE carbine stock SG doesnt fit on my HK?
does it need a new tube?
Might need a different buffer tube? Dont know the HKs that well.

An informal chat with the COO of BSG Nikita Buyanov, Shroud, DrLupo and Klean.
-- Watch live at https://www.twitch.tv/klean
At what point did you guys start to get out of raids alive often enough to make money?
I'm busy proving a point
I am having a hard time atm =/
Damnit π
I cant watch that right now, and I dont really care what he says. Because the gun jams are CLEARLY in the game.
Yea dev doesn't know
There's multiple videos of guns jamming in the game. As far back as 2018.
I figure the COO of the company is wrong
Pigeons is a known troll, ignore him Bud π
He's probably saying its not a factor because the durability needs to go so low.
guess lead dev is dumb
it's never a guarentee honestly. only guarenteed profit is hatchling runs but those aren't fun. @stable pivot ill happily jump into a VC if you wanna talk about the issues you're having
Bro, fucking go on youtube and search tarkov gun jam.
There's dozens of videos of low durability guns stovepiping.
BRO listen to interview with the fucking COO
I just showed you a video from 2 days ago of a gun doing it.
U are a fun guy aren't u
If nikita said the fucking M4 was pink would you believe that too?
so th is will be rough as fuck?
Probably a blast at parties
He's just a troll dude
Here's the RPK jamming
@agile raft Yes
I don't have time to watch it
@agile raft Especially with 855 ammo
I cant watch that right now, and I dont really care
But, GuN JaMs ArEnT iN tHe GaMe
Fuck outta here.
if i put this on it instead
will it be noticably better or still pointless to build?
is there a way to unlock fps on this game? mines capped at 60
@trim herald have game set to 120, but its still capping at 60 ingame (not on lobby)
HOLY shit m855 is awful
It is yes
literally 20 rounds into a scavs chest
nothing
4 rounds to an unarmoured pmc chest

@quick glen Not sure then, I know there's a cap setting in the options but if you have change that then I'm not sure
i'm unable to trade my 8 A-2607 knifes for an mp5 from the peacekeeper, help?
Brown handle?
@quick glen vsync on?
click deal?
May be sold out/ trade limit exceeded
what can i do with empty fuel tanks?
craft mag cases
nothing but sell tehm keep the blue fuel though can make mag cases
hideout
what level things i need
dont remember. possibly lvl 3 lavatory
mmkay
has to be the blue fuel tanks tho, not the gray ones
how much do i get from selling empty fuel tanks
i got dat blue
yay ive been server connecting for over 30 mins
nopw
now
just requeue
^
dont get why people sit there waiting for nothing
you can sell blue fuel tanks empty for just as much as they sell full
because of mag case craft
i would have to log out
its that valuable?
and that would fuck my items
how many mags i can make
@obsidian birch nvidia vsync off, and ive tried both off and on ingame
it happens
hasnt changed a thing
@quick glen if nvidia vsyns is set to "always off", and your fps is capped to 60 in-game, thats weird. you dont have any other software installed that caps fps?
@obsidian birch nope. unless i somehow have the wrong nvidia vsync set to off lol
Also, kiss my butt @trim herald We argue over M80, that doesnt make me a troll
@quick glen i mean, there is only one place to turn it on/off. if you set it to always off, you can turn vsync on in-game and the fps will unlock completely, going past the 120 lock in the options. im running around with 200 fps
yeah i know. I have it off in nvidia. guess ill try restarting my game.
I've even quit giving ammo recommendations because of that.
is it profit to make the mags case with buying the requirements then selling the mag case?
Usually, yes. You'll have to add up how much you paid for the items yourself though.
hm..
Empty blue cans for 70k, metal scissors for 40k So that's 180k before you factor in the bolt/nut price.
And it sells for 318k to Therapist.
hm.
It's not often, and I know it can't happen for how the game is built. But I would love to see what my opponent just saw when he killed me
That's what I do, but I buy them. Buy full blue cans, turn them into mag cases when they're empty and make my money back.
i actually want that too.. that came to my mind today cause i got sniped from idk where and i wouldve loved to see his POV @frosty plinth
How much are car batteries worth?
it's just called battery but it looks like a car battery
@strong jolt car batteries are needed for a quest and are worth about 50 to 60k
ok thanks
You need some for your hideout too so they're in pretty high demand.
how do you level strength in a reasonable amount of time? Melee hits aren't gonna happen, tried doing the overweight method by filling a vest and bag with shells but it leveled only like .5/10 after just walking back and forth for 30 minutes.
throw nades
nades a .1 each
@digital wing
i make sure i yeet all nades i bring into a raid
There's not really a way to powerlevel anymore. Might as well just do the overweight method.
alright, so gotta bring a few cheap nades into raids and just throw em all each time?
Do your raids, loot everything you can, stay as heavy as possible.
Throw grenades as often as reasonably possible.
flashes are the cheapest 1 slot
smokes are cheaper(i think) but that means you need a 2 slot vest to throw
i usually just bring flahes
they're fun
not a thing rommel, you've had this debate before
that's risk
round 2, here we go
Whatever
it's risk and you get 1/8 of an exp per klick, and most people only go 2km a raid anyways, AND it has to be walking, that's 80km walking while 90% weight to just get from level 0 to 1, and you need to be level 3 for vents
While leveling skills, the character will now have "exhaustionβ of skill per raid, this means that skill will be leveled more slowly during the raid after every repeat. If you do not level a certain skill for a while (a few minutes), the character will recover and will be able to level this skill with normal speed again. This change is directed against skills abuse (targeted and consecutive leveling of the same skill)
Skills now have a maximum level that can not be overcome even with stimulants-60 #βγ‘patch-notes
Anyone fancy teaching the game to a complete n00b on EU servers? Pref. over 18 as I'm 24.
not like you can reach that threshold with strength regardless
I mean it's not like I've done it every patch
And it's not like all my friends have done it every patch
And it works for everyone else
But sure
Do whatever you want
However you shouldn't troll beginners
60 exp to get to lvl 3 strength. that's 480km or 600 nades. without episilon container for a tank battery, yeeting nades is the safest and least time consuming method assuming you have a bit of money
idc if you walked around for 200 hours each wipe to barely get the strength req rommel, doesn't mean everyone wants to do the same
I just did raids as per normal
Got my lvl 3 str by lvl 20
Or so
As I said, do whatever you want
I don't really give a fuck
But it's the easiest way to do it
longest ive travelled in a single raid was like 4.5km and i spent most of it sprinting and circling the map, and that was running so lets assuming that you walk like 1km every 10 min or so. thats 80 hours of straight walking
I dont even use grenades and hit level 3 strength playing normally around the time it was required for the hideout.
^
do you all just walk everywhere then?
No, but I also don't constantly sprint, it adds up
Walk for about 20 sec to get a sp, then you can sprint for a bit
Yeah, I loot everything and I stay in raids for a long time. I dont just sprint through them.
I'm actually very irritated by these new raid times because I'm so used to being in them longer I hit that 10 minute warning way before I'm used to.
Same
I'll get the 10 minute shoreline warning and I havent even crossed the powerplant/gas station.
I had no problem getting strength to lvl 3 while playing
at the time I didn't even know nades helped lol
I always try to level metabolism so it wasn't too bad
Stress and Health are the ones that I'm hung up on.
I admittedly cheesed Stress
I need like, 8 stress and 10 health right now.
But Health took FOREVER
I'm level 39 and I thikn I'm only at 6-7 health.
@royal wind my "an apple a day quest" bugged out on me, I can't seem to get it or the 200xp* for health currently
For stress just run Factory honestly
lol, poor pigeon. Here we go again.
FUCK
It's not too bad
haha, he's using a pigeon too so it's tricky.
rommel, factory for stress? IRL or in game π
lol, both probably. Factory is bad for your health.
cuz that map always gets my anxiety going
even if im a hatchling, someone is always camping it seems
in like a really dark corner
I gained 15 skill points of SR over three Factory raids earlier today so
Definitely not cheesed
what is SR exactly
anyone down to help me get the beginners tasks done?
Taking damage without painkillers
Hey I have a bug i just killed this geared dude and i can't do anything to his inventory (serach, move, take stuff) it all gets insta cancelled what to do?
Somebody said earlier they tried to loot a weapon but it failed saying it was on a sling. What's that all about?
k i hid in a bush and alt-f4 lets pray
does killa have bodyguards?
Anyone know what the whole, Trio Victor/Zulu/Alpha stuff means when looking for a group? I'm assuming the first half is the team size but the second half I can't wrap my head around
It's the voice chat
the VCs are labeled with nato phoenetic alphabet, alpha being A and so on
No, I understood the phonetic alphabet, I'm in the Navy lol, but I just couldn't figure out what the two meant together. Thanks π
@reef spoke snipe on woods! π took a week or two, not sure if the deal was still on π
what does pier boat look like when it's active? Is it literally just another boat on the pier?
No visual difference from when it's not active
I just went mia even thought I was in the extraction with time left if that a glitch or do I need to make it there with more than 6 seconds left?
Damn
in reserve at how much time remaining does train leave
It's not a set time.
It's like... 7 minutes after it arrives.
You have to listen for the honks. I think it's 2 honks when it arrives, 1 honk for a 1 minute warning, and 1 honk when its leaving.
Or something close to that.
Just downlaoded the game
i thought of goose when you said honk lol
cannot wait to try it out
be very ready to die alot, and once your past that, enjoy
@maiden parcel First thing to do is RESET EXPECTATIONS. Doesnβt 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.

@waxen forge thanks bud, ill check it out
@tough sleet When it's done
ive been getting in in under 2 minutes NA which never happens, usually it puts me EU(I queue NA and EU at same time and it picks shorter wait)
It's not as easy as just putting an ETA on it
or betterβsoonβ’οΈ
dl10 snipers any good?
Was just asking π
DVL10 is great. Quieter than a mouse fart if you get a suppressed one.
I just found a paracord in raid, should i sell it or just save it?
Depends on if you are willing to get rr
save if you do reserve/want to do reserve
And/or play reserve/woods a lot
Then i think im gonna sell it, i dont rlly like reserve and woods
when I want to yoink the bunker extract nobody activates the switch obviously :(
is the PC burned when doing the extracts on those maps?
welp lvl 5 and got a labs card. I'm guessing I just sell it
What a deal
at least you made someone's day
you made a bots day
Maybe, but no one is nice to me in game 
About night vision again... do the cheaper options (i.e. N-15, PVS und PNV) block your helmet slot?
No, they attach to a hlmet thats compatible with them.
6b47 will be the cheapest compatible helmet.
has anyone unlocked the bipod for their knife yet
and does anyone understand the refernce
Gotta be level 100 colonel for that
there it issss
oo good, i got a server where i cant loot or extract
exciting
nvm
i was just standing in extract bitching in this chat and then it extracted me 15 seconds later
dude why tf do you need compatible helmets for night vision
just like tape it on or something wtf
If I use the Hot Rod is it going to help with increasing the Strength skill faster ?
@warped halo now that would be in true slav fashion
lol, there IS an item that is just a metal frame that allows you to attach the NVGs.
No helmet needed.
Actually taping a nv to ur head would b a rlly good idea

Iβm able to pick up other things just not that gun
If I use the Hot Rod is it going to help with increasing the Strength skill faster ?
okay this is driving me nuts - why does the ammo in the shop not show the type or name of the ammo... instead it says "A LOT"
Can you pull attachments off ot it?
No
@ebon ingot ikr you have to double click to check
A LOT is the number of available rounds to buy.
omg
If you double click it, you can see the type.
Fine, just click it once and it should show the name on the buy screen in the middle.
I need some new guys thoughts on something, can I pick yall's brains?
my first one is just full of items i will need later
If you've filled one up, sure.
yeah
It's pretty easy to understand
Cool , so far so good then
Can you make one in crayon?
@reef spoke since you're a sherpa could I ask whether there's actually fov issues and whether these issues are caused by the bore vector angle for different guns
Make one in ms paint
some people said issues are mostly with ak idk
I'm not new, but my 2 cents, might be to dumb down the terminology to make it easier to understand. Like Max ordinate
don't have enough guns nor the time to test it all
Is lab sherpa a thing or just any man for himself
tldr: "lol it's only truly accurate if you shoot at this or this range otherwise it's above or below"
here's a graph
@warped halo
FOV only effects you if you are using none magnfied optics atm.
Because we are changing the relation of two objects. esentially we are streching the angle between near zero and the muzzle.
@gusty rover afaik most sherpas dont go labs, because sherpas are meant to help new players
This causes the bullet to rise
and new players aren't meant to go labs. It's not a teaching-friendly envoirement
@royal wind ty,
"highest point in flight path"
i was trying to do the fishing gear quest and i got all the good spawns for spa, now im trying to do a spa run and i got the tunnel spawn which would have been great for fishing quest
i wanna DIE
I mean, I personally know what it is. Just saying it may be easier for those not as learned in firearms.
IDK shit about firearms but it's pretty reasonable to me
I think it's simple enough to say "the muzzle isn't actually pointed completely parallel to the sight"
I might even go as far to substitute the word barrel for bore. We both know that's technically incorrect, but the average person wouldn't.
what do i do with all my dogtags
Keep 10 USEC and 10 BEAR tags for a quest, sell the rest.
sell to therapist or keep for quest
@royal wind Yee no you make sense
Well, it was just a suggestion. You dont have to use it.
I'll keep bore but Max ord is out
all you newbies when youre doing scav runs dont shoot at scavs and they wont murder you just watched some poor sap try to kill a scav by sneaking up behind him and then shooting him in the head only to watch the other 3 murder him
@reef spoke you might wanna put barrel in parenthesis next to bore though in case people get offended for whatever reason for the temrinology
Good idea
@open jetty lol especially interchange it's not worth it
yep
it's way too open and way too many scavs
what are we doing with bitcoins tbh?
have you tried looting anything
sell to therapist
so annoying
or trade for guns with mechanic
CYKA dead
With the price of bitcoin right now, none of the trades are worth it. I would just sell them to therapist.
hm okay
once I get to level 5 I'm gonna make a list of items whose prices are relatively equal to their sell price to traders
for levelup purposes
Bitcoin right now is about as high as it's ever been.
Supposedly the prices are related.
looool
Bitcoin in Tarkov is reflective of IRL.
do u get insurance back if u go MIA?
MIA, no. AWOL, yes.
If you drop your gear before you go MIA though, you'll get them back.
so either drop my gear or commit suicide?
Basically.
what's some good 545x39 ammo?

@formal goblet BS
yo I have 3/4 offers on fleamarket but it says im at max and i cant put another one what's up? ;o
perhaps out of stock items
means you put attachments on the flea and they got bugged
thanks
consumed the offer slot for the whole day
Been in matching queue for 6 minutes now... Anything wrong with servers, or does this just happen sometimes?
what ammo should i use for opsks
@stable pivot That seems about right.
rt
@stable pivot Queue times will likely jump over the weekend.
ty
what are the best reserve keys?
@timber dock But... if more people are playing? Shouldnt there be less queue times? π
hmmm i think server problem =/
@stable pivot nop
queue times were very low before the game got this popular
the moment the game got a big influx of new players
there were 10min+ queue times
kinda does, there weren't enough servers
they had to upgrade them
so you were waiting to go on one of the limited servers
i mean, if you were to host a server on minecraft for example and it only allows 10 players. What will happen if 100 players try to connect? @stable pivot
alright,
Still with me?
Who should I sell weapon mags to?
@jolly rain skier
Therapist > Skier> Mech> PK/praror
if anyone buys anything in that order, thats the most you're gonna get from a trader
Skier doesn't buy mags
Alright thanks
can i even use a scope on the opsks?
And melee weapons to Jaeger
@mint seal ye PSO + canted pk-06 is nice
556 "budget" would be 855A1 right?
What are Euros for?
@vale arrow correct
thanks <3
@jolly rain Item case from therpaist
but you can buy almost any item with euros off flea
!wiki mentor
That's what β¬ are for
Do you get more money if you strip your scav guns into individual parts?
How do you avoid getting labeled as a run through? I had 2 scav kills and inventory was full and extracted with 12 mins left. Do I just need to hang around longer? When is the earliest you can extract w/o getting a run through?
Enough XP
Is there a way to see how much XP you have at any given time?
uh did AP-20 slug prices explode in the last few hours? Bought 27 for about 400 a pop at eight, now we're at 850
What's it matter if it's labeled a run through?
tell me what can I improve to significantly lower the recoil
0.5 xp multiplier
But for scavs it means nothing won't it?
or is it even worth to mod 7.62 weapons?
@next vessel you can put a PT-3 stock on it I think, and a better brake.
Also there's a long zenit grip that has more recoil reduction than the fortis
brake?
PWS muzzle brake
im trying to make a build around 100k or below
if i want to snipe with 12 gauge whats the best shutgun and ammo ?
yeah the stock's a bit pricy then at ~25k + mount
the PWS brake is 15k as well
don't think there's too much more you can do below 100k
oh that might be 545 only yeah
the lantac dragon is a bit more potent and that's available in 762x39
Think -11 or -12%
https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Venom_Antidote_muzzlebrake_&_compensator_for_AK
Not the correct result? Use !wiki page venom muzzle for a direct link or !wiki search venom muzzle for a list of all hits.
-12 is pretty substantial yeah
unfortunately also expensive as hell, currently 320$++
BT ammo any good? 545x39?
Trash
BT is decent.
BS better.
Bs or bust
but im poor
IF it takes you 10 BT to kill the guy but he can kill you with 5 BS then you are dead
Then use something else
if you want to afford 800+ rubel per shot in full auto
also just spent 100k on BS
Mod the weapon less...buy better ammo
^
Or just use 7x39 or 762 nato weapons with m80
Also ammo price isnt expensive if youndont magdump
Accurate taps to head or chest easily gurantee kills with 545 BS
That 6k in bullets just got you 500k in kit. Worth in my book. π€·
well im about to get in and test it out

Anyone knows the fastes way to get ragman to lvl2?
It's like a 1/3 loss
You will level ragman by buying shit from him regularly past lvl 2
Guys Im having an issue, I sold 4 items on the flea market, but my offers are still 4/4 and the items show up as "Out of stock"
restart didnt help
But ragman only buys clothing/equipemt or i can sell other things like barter items?
But buy and sell stuff from him and you only lose 1/3 and money spent counts and buying and selling
You can sell the shit you buy from him lol.
@glass moon Had that happen to me for one offering. Had to wait till listing time ran out.
so like, 24 hours?
depends on listing if course, single items 12 hours, and goes up from there with higher quantities
Well I guess we're using this SA-58 then
@naive lion you bringing a back pack every thjime?
Delta
if you are going to bring a back pack both marked keys RB-st and RB-gn
I finally survived interchange
yee marked rooms are funn
All it took was smurf helping lol
any sherpas wanna help me complete 'the guide' task starting on labs?
what is current value of gfx card in flea?
u sure
290000 GFX
@rich cloak sry how do you do that?
Might be more might be less depending on time of day
280k seems to be lowest now, isnt the lowest price sellers bots?
@edgy wren #sherpa-info
whats a good shotgun ammo to use in general , well rounded vs flesh OR armor
@rich cloak got it tyty
Prices allways fluctuate cyka
no its players that dont know it will still sel;l if no one goes below a certian point
I use 8.5mm buckshot.
@edgy wren just make sure that you set your request for about a week
ap-20 would be best, but I like buckshot.
u just want to buy my gfx too cheap and sell it with profit
Sherpas have a big backlog currently
admit it
8.5 is nice, it high recoil. I use that or ap-20
@bold kernel bro I ain't even at home
rofl
yes recoil is rough, make sure you attach a monster claw to tame the magnum.
srsly how much should i sell it for
slugs dont penetrate armor tho, they just damage it?
i want many answers
Just look at market
AP-20 has decent pen and destroys armour fast.
i have
See what sells
Ap-20 pens lvl 3 first shot, higher armor after a few shots
i see, thanks RC and stinky
Can pen lvl 4 on first round too
almost all 10 first are 11h expire
But if you are using a shotgun, you need to brute force your way through armour. So shoot lots, especially buckshot.
278k - 288k
i always try to trade with my venders
but its always out of stock
should i sell with something between that price?
@bold kernel anyone ever tell u ur name is very annoying to look at?
any1 know why
I always sell lowest
yes its on purpose
I cba to wait
no offence but im blocking you cuz ur triggering my ocd
