[flat cipher]

It's good it's just cheaper to get vepr

[fickle kettle]

but yes vepr is cheaper

[solemn thicket]

From first hand account and anecdotal evidence, people like the SKS a lot

[flat cipher]

And scavs spawn with it loads

I like the sks sure

[solemn thicket]

Not any gun can kill tbh

[flat cipher]

But if a gun does the same thing for half the price

[warped halo]

how's the ammo type difference?

[solemn thicket]

Try m9 vs a dude with altyn and level 5 armor

[flat cipher]

I won't use the sks unless I get it free

[forest steppe]

yea but empirically it is worse than vepr

[flat cipher]

Yeah 9mm is a meme

Vss master race

[warped halo]

vepr: "600 rounds per minute"

bruh

how fast do I have to click

[forest steppe]

@steady pilot has a handy chart comparing the two

[solemn thicket]

Not very fast

You’ll be looking at the moon

[warped halo]

that's 10 a second

[flat cipher]

Ten times a second

[rotund sand]

0.1 second click

[warped halo]

sks is 40rpm

but that's probably including reload

I have the internal mag one

[fast rivet]

rpm is literally rounds per minute

as in, imagine you have an infinite mag

[flat cipher]

Vepr works better in a cqb situation too

[warped halo]

I believe it includes reload?

cause no way my sks shoots 40rpm

[flat cipher]

Bigger mags faster rof

[warped halo]

idk

[solemn thicket]

Idk I personally just hate unmodded crepes

[warped halo]

@flat cipher you seem knowledgeable is there a vepr drum

dude wtf

[solemn thicket]

Modded ones are great

[flat cipher]

Crepes

[warped halo]

crepes are awesome

[flat cipher]

[solemn thicket]

But I would never tell a new player to use a vepr

[warped halo]

how dare you

@solemn thicket as a partially new player I agree

[forest steppe]

@solemn thicket

[flat cipher]

Uh I don't think there are 7.62 drums?

[warped halo]

it's easy to shoot too fast and fuckup your recoil

[solemn thicket]

Unmodded veprs kick like bitches

[warped halo]

oh yea

you can't mod the sks huh

[forest steppe]

i was thinking of wrong vepr

[flat cipher]

Not very well

[solemn thicket]

You can

[flat cipher]

No

[solemn thicket]

But it’s super limited

[warped halo]

well

yeah

not too much

how about the hunter

[solemn thicket]

Most of the mods for sks are loyalty locked too

[warped halo]

or the vpo rifle

[solemn thicket]

Hunter is not moddable

Lol

[split vapor]

Hunter

Trash

[flat cipher]

Gotta buy a whole new chassis for real modding on the sks

[warped halo]

o\

[rotund sand]

70 second scav run

[solemn thicket]

I wouldn’t call it trash

Good early game gun

[warped halo]

waiting till I get flea so I can sell my shit

[split vapor]

Sks also trash

Hunter trash

[flat cipher]

Vss val masterrace

[solemn thicket]

If you’re poor, you can actually challenge geared players with a hunter

[warped halo]

got an rb-bk, lab key, some scopes, dorm 214, and some misc shit like motors, dry fuel, etc

anyway

guys

I really should get sleeping

[flat cipher]

Keep the rbbk

[warped halo]

it's like 4am jesus christ

[split vapor]

No that’s the ammo

Not the gun

[solemn thicket]

Technically yes

[split vapor]

It’s only 430

[forest steppe]

tahts why hunter is good, m80

[warped halo]

I have to be somewhere at 1pm

[flat cipher]

Yeah but the gun is cheap too

[fast rivet]

tldr, use the vepr 136, then when you have a tad more cash, grab an akm or ak-104 body, then every single attachment from the 136 can transfer over to those guns

[warped halo]

I need my sleep 😦

[forest steppe]

depends on ammo economy

[warped halo]

anyway gn all

[rotund sand]

night

[solemn thicket]

Any gun that doesn’t shoot 9mm can kill

[flat cipher]

9mm CAN

[split vapor]

Just hit them in the face

[left vapor]

shoot help

[flat cipher]

Just more effort than is worth

[left vapor]

bosses wants to cyka me

[solemn thicket]

Just cyka him 1st

4head

[rotund sand]

the moment I fire for no reason besides fear, I just give away my position anyway

[split vapor]

Poor mozu

[fickle kettle]

owoc being cyka lel

[split vapor]

There’s a kitty to help

[flat cipher]

I have yet to actually see a boss

[rotund sand]

check out my video if you want to see me meeting one

[flat cipher]

I was killed by shturman once but I hadn't seen him

[fast rivet]

oof

[rotund sand]

ah woods one

[split vapor]

https://streamable.com/gq17w

[solemn thicket]

I killed Shturman like 4 times yesterday

[upper sky]

is it just personal pref if you mount laser on left or right of barrel?

or does it make a dif?

[deft kelp]

LMAO I THOUGHT A DUDE WAS DEAD

[solemn thicket]

the one time he dropped his RR I lagged out while looting and couldn't reconnect

[deft kelp]

BUT HE WAS PRONED

[flat cipher]

ye

they do that

[deft kelp]

i cant believe i fell for that

[flat cipher]

Shturman scares me

Just gonna buy my rr

[split vapor]

I like on the top or bottom

Or left of those aren’t ops

[rotund sand]

I like how I fire my gun if I get a jumpscare from sound and shoot randomly

but if I actually need to fire, I react like a tortoise

[flat cipher]

Ye same

Sometimes

apparently playing horde scavs helps with that flinch

[solemn thicket]

Jinsoul

try an aim trainer

[deft kelp]

yeah im the same way

[solemn thicket]

to desensitize yourself

to shooting

[deft kelp]

ill try playing horde scavs

[rotund sand]

aim trainer?

[rotund sand]

how does it help

[solemn thicket]

you get used to

just pulling the trigger

so you're not nervous

[rotund sand]

oh this is for pulling the trigger fast

[solemn thicket]

when you have to shoot

[rotund sand]

alright, thats one part

[solemn thicket]

no it's for everything really

[flat cipher]

My reaction times aren't bad at all it's just the occasional flinch after being shot out the blue

[solemn thicket]

tracking, speed, accuracy

[flat cipher]

Like when a scav at the far end of some tills on ic shoots at me through like 12 pieces of cover

[solemn thicket]

@flat cipher you can fix that by just always being ready

[shrewd bobcat]

Killa is Ultra side yes?

[flat cipher]

And i shit myself

[rotund sand]

yeah the flinch is really bad, and I don't know why, its not all the time

[flat cipher]

[solemn thicket]

I get it when I'm not carrying a weapon lol

I've flinched so hard

[shrewd bobcat]

Which side of mall does killa spawn

Ultra?

[solemn thicket]

Oli

[shrewd bobcat]

Ty

[rotund sand]

and I can tell the gunfire I'm hearing is not towards me

but I can't keep my hands under control

[solemn thicket]

just be ready

I'm sometimes

randomly strafing left and right

[flat cipher]

I used to flinch SO hard when I first started

[solemn thicket]

to bait shots

so that I don't flinch

if someone does start shooting me

[flat cipher]

Like flick my camera way off type thing

[solemn thicket]

yea

try just

strafing randomly when you're walking

just let go of W

and use left right for a second

[flat cipher]

The scavs on ic in the big shops are the worst

[rotund sand]

I do that, sometimes

[flat cipher]

Cause you can barely see em

[solemn thicket]

when I do that I pretty much never flinch if I start getting shot at

[rotund sand]

but thats too advanced for me

[solemn thicket]

mentally prepared

[rotund sand]

I need to not flinch while not getting shot first

[flat cipher]

half the time in ic im just trying to get in to the tech stores as fast as possible anyway

[solemn thicket]

fk u rat

jk

[flat cipher]

Not really there to be fighting

I'll go to customs if I wanna do that

[solemn thicket]

go labs if you wanna fight

lol

[flat cipher]

labs

[solemn thicket]

actually the time of my life in labs

it's the best PvP you'll get in the game atm

[flat cipher]

Yes i will bring one of my 4 mosins to labs

And my class 4 armour

[rotund sand]

sounds like a plan

[solemn thicket]

just invest in a 90k roubles M4

don't even need to be surpressed

[flat cipher]

I have an m4

[solemn thicket]

because Labs is so small

[flat cipher]

And a hk

I just don't wanna dump it into labs atm

[solemn thicket]

did you play during the free labs wipe?

when they were testing the map for balance

[flat cipher]

No I bought the game on nye

[solemn thicket]

ah

get a keycard

and play offline labs

for like 1 or 2 weeks to learn how to beat raiders effectively

[flat cipher]

yeah i did once like a week ago but i wasn't paying attention for like 5 secs and got domed

[shrewd bobcat]

Well that was hard

[flat cipher]

then got distracted by someone else

[solemn thicket]

play offline raid

so it doesn't consume your keycard

[flat cipher]

ye

[solemn thicket]

did you chedder his legs?

@shrewd bobcat

[shrewd bobcat]

Oc rouse

Of course

[solemn thicket]

haha nice

[flat cipher]

Just need to get better at aiming n shit too before I labs

[shrewd bobcat]

I'm using a Ked-r lol

[flat cipher]

And my hearing ig

[solemn thicket]

the community calls the Kedr -> Chedder

[shrewd bobcat]

Oh right!

[rotund sand]

chedder?

[solemn thicket]

the 9mm smg

[rotund sand]

no I was trying to grasp the pun

or something

[flat cipher]

would assume its linked to cheesing killa by just dumping a mag into his legs

[solemn thicket]

the kedr is known for ripping arms and legs to shreds

[flat cipher]

that or it just sounds like cheddar

[solemn thicket]

because of it's insane RPM

you can cheese geared players

[shrewd bobcat]

Time to do that 10 times over then do it in raid

[rotund sand]

oh cheddar, right

[solemn thicket]

if you can get point blank and dump a full load into their legs

[rotund sand]

well if only my scav last night had it

lol

[shrewd bobcat]

Idk there's something about him which is scary

[solemn thicket]

it's recoil is hard to control

[shrewd bobcat]

He seems like REALLY aggresive

[flat cipher]

It's probably the fact he is super aggro

[solemn thicket]

so you pretty much have to be point blank

with the kedr

[shrewd bobcat]

Yes

[rotund sand]

I was point blank with a mosin

[flat cipher]

the bosses are wild

[solemn thicket]

Shturman is crazier than Killa

[flat cipher]

Killa has anger issues

[shrewd bobcat]

I'm wondering if his helmet is made in a way that the devs have made it so you can shoot through the slit.

[flat cipher]

Shturman is the terminator

[rotund sand]

I just made a small mistake and thought the helmet on his head was a Djeta

[solemn thicket]

Killa chucks the most grenades

[icy summit]

Shturman is a chump

don't lie

[flat cipher]

literally didn't even know he was nearby and he killed me

[shrewd bobcat]

Nyar you take that back

[flat cipher]

I've never even SEEN reshala

[solemn thicket]

I've killed Reshala like 15 times this wipe

[flat cipher]

And I never run reserve

[shrewd bobcat]

Who plays customs unless it's for quests

[flat cipher]

Me cause dorms is funny

[left vapor]

a scav literally sat in the same building that I was for 35 minutes and none of us peeked because we both had snipers... scav bosses rushed, we killed them, I killed the scav player and I died to a normal scav -_-

[rotund sand]

beginners play customs

because its the "easy" map

[shrewd bobcat]

Is it though

Easy?

[rotund sand]

it is called misinformation

[flat cipher]

It's quest heavy

[shrewd bobcat]

Fully geared 5 man PMC teams are "easy" XD

[flat cipher]

But marked room gets lots of geared players n shit

[fickle kettle]

mozu got cykaed

f

[flat cipher]

So it's a bit of a cluster fuck in there

[shrewd bobcat]

@left vapor Wanna die to scav boss again on reserve? 🙂

[flat cipher]

It's fun when you're the first to 3 story dorm

Can hit marked and sit at the end of the corridor waiting for the next lot of people

[shrewd bobcat]

@flat cipher You are literally the problem with this game

[flat cipher]

😎

I'm poor

😎

[shrewd bobcat]

I was poor

I am proud to say I've never camped next to a loot room

[flat cipher]

I get bored of ratting in ic

[fallen swallow]

Sssshhhttuuuurmaaann

[shrewd bobcat]

Learn to shoot and then you don't need to rat

JOIN THE CHADS HARRY!!!

[flat cipher]

I mean

[dusk token]

!ammo

[tribal robin]

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Ballistics

[flat cipher]

Ic got big stacks

Me no shoot

Me just run

[solemn thicket]

I mean

[iron valve]

guys is factory emergency key worth selling to the therapist, or should i wait till im lvl5 to sell it on the flea market

[rotund sand]

if Harry leaves for chads, I'll apply for the empty rat spot, I guess

[dusk token]

therapist pays about the same rate

so you can sell it to her

additionally you get more money in leveling up her trader level

[shrewd bobcat]

@iron valve Therapist tends to match keys for value for flee but flee is level 5, bnot 15

[iron valve]

aight cheers

[shrewd bobcat]

not*

Oh my bad I read that wrong lol.

[iron valve]

yeah lol

[rotund sand]

[dusk token]

https://gyazo.com/c91850395a1f75ea4d29690d23965590

just an idea of the values of keys

for the factory exit

[shrewd bobcat]

Chump change tbh

What's that like 2/3 scavs?

[dusk token]

LOL

[flat cipher]

More like 1

Or less

[shrewd bobcat]

Depends on luck tbh

[flat cipher]

Made 900k out of a 10 min scav run the other day

[rotund sand]

[flat cipher]

3 gpu 2 tetriz

Scary stuff

[rotund sand]

guys like this is why I get scared to play

[shrewd bobcat]

Well Mimsy I spent 6 mill on keys a few days ago and I can't learn the route as I have autism and struggle with co ordination

[dusk token]

which map are you trying to learn?

[shrewd bobcat]

Shoreline

[solemn thicket]

lol

[flat cipher]

I hate shoreline

[dusk token]

Oh I run that map everyday every hour

[solemn thicket]

I know shoreline like the back of my hand

[dusk token]

If you want help with a good route lemme know

[shrewd bobcat]

Tell me there's videos

[dusk token]

there are videos

[solemn thicket]

I can literally run shoreline without nvg

[shrewd bobcat]

Be like the rest of the community i swear xD

[dusk token]

LOL

[solemn thicket]

at like 1am

[dusk token]

If you want I can run it with you

and give you some tips about my route

[shrewd bobcat]

I can literally get to reserve and then literally start panicking irl bcs i can't do it

[dusk token]

I literally hatch it run it

[shrewd bobcat]

it's so bad

Puzzles are normally fun for my mind

I feel so much pressure in tarkov just to like

you know

https://i.gyazo.com/thumb/1200/25496b135e693aafe2a3e22e2b339009-jpg.jpg

[shrewd bobcat]

SO many room

[dusk token]

this is one of my recent runs doing it

[shrewd bobcat]

Well Mim I have all the keys so let's go

[solemn thicket]

I'm down to play lol

[flat cipher]

Surv12

[dusk token]

My recommendation is dont bother with admin or westwing

east wing drops is enough to fill you up

[solemn thicket]

surv12 is actually better than cms by a longshot if you can make space

[shrewd bobcat]

Choose a VC

[dusk token]

and the way I exit is not normal, i take advantage of the fact that I have nothing to lose

[solemn thicket]

westwing has 2 red keycard spawns tho

[flat cipher]

Yeah I have prepare for escape edition so I can take one with me

[dusk token]

and jump off the balcony with painkillers

[shrewd bobcat]

You've got to understand and I can't stress this enough that I think it's the montone repetition of rooms that just makes my brain melt compleltely

I like really want to learn it

[dusk token]

Its a bit late for me rn and my neighbor just came home so I can't vc right now haha

[shrewd bobcat]

but I can't

Bollocks

[dusk token]

its 2 am haha

[flat cipher]

Should probably make some food before I get on

[dusk token]

Oh if you don'

[shrewd bobcat]

You can listen to me if you want

Hop in

You don't need to talk 🙂

[flat cipher]

Inb4 jude blasts mimsy

[dusk token]

LOL

Oh you guys are from EU

[shrewd bobcat]

Do you need like an M4 or something?

[solemn thicket]

no

just pistol

[dusk token]

I'm just a degenerate up at 2am

[flat cipher]

I'm UK ya

[dusk token]

LOL

[flat cipher]

I mean I got like 2 hours of sleep so same

[dusk token]

I mean I can literally run the route with or without weapons

[solemn thicket]

I bring a 5-7 to merc geared players' faceshields

[shrewd bobcat]

Mim CHOOSE A VC AND I WILL TALK GODDMAN!!!! xD

[dusk token]

LOL

[shrewd bobcat]

I will just follow u

[dusk token]

but im on NA servers

[shrewd bobcat]

I'm sure i'll be fine

[flat cipher]

[dusk token]

[flat cipher]

Love having sub 20 ping

[dusk token]

persistent I see LOL

[flat cipher]

Had it once in a league game

[shrewd bobcat]

Love having sub 10

[flat cipher]

Heaven

[shrewd bobcat]

The pain of those keys lol

[solemn thicket]

these are the keys I run

[dusk token]

I'm in Mike

[flat cipher]

:^)

[solemn thicket]

aw

wanna go groups so I can play too?

[flat cipher]

Would also play but I'm fucking hungry

[solemn thicket]

lol

wanna play with mee?

[flat cipher]

You'll have to give me a bit but sure

[left vapor]

which map are you guys going

[solemn thicket]

I'm down for w/e

[split vapor]

Mozu bed

[deft kelp]

finally got a player kill, then got shot by his friend lmao

[solemn thicket]

yup

always expect another

[deft kelp]

i did

hid behind a wall

[flat cipher]

just watch the area for a few minutes

[deft kelp]

expected him from the wrong direction

lmao

[solemn thicket]

rip

[flat cipher]

Always wear ur headsets kids

[deft kelp]

dude went through the fence on the train tracks @ customs

[solemn thicket]

ah

[deft kelp]

so i murdered him

thought his friend would be coming from the same place

but his friend was up on a hill i think

sniping with a mosin

didnt lose anything too important so not too concerned

i gotta remember to back off the direction i came

instead of push and hide

[bold kernel]

i just spawned with RB BK key, how much is it worth?

got 25 uses

[solemn thicket]

rip, my tactec lost 0.7 dura from my last repair 😭

usually only lose like 0.3

[bold kernel]

someone check for meee please :>

[open lotus]

80k

[solemn thicket]

about 75-80k

[bold kernel]

thnx

i died anyways lmao

[open lotus]

oof

happened to me yesterday with 250k key

[solemn thicket]

imagine spawning with a red keycard

[open lotus]

i'd have a heart attack

[solemn thicket]

it's happened to someone

[left vapor]

@split vapor put me in bed

ha

[solemn thicket]

kiss yo homies goodnight

[open lotus]

someone sent a clip of a streamer, he found a rig in the middle of nowhere and it had a red keycard

[flat cipher]

Bait

[left vapor]

a scav probably droped it afraid of dying

[fallen swallow]

Prob a new player who didn't know the value kek

[flat cipher]

How much are they nowadays

[left vapor]

25m+

[grizzled fjord]

20m last I looked

[flat cipher]

What's even past the doors it opens

[left vapor]

if I ever get poor I'll just fuck it and go farm redkey cards

[solemn thicket]

it's the old arsenal room in labs

full kitted Mp5's, bitcoins, high value lootables, meds

[flat cipher]

ah right

Are the high value meds even worth using

[solemn thicket]

what do you mean?

what's a 'high value med'?

[open lotus]

I think he thought u said high value meds

[naive atlas]

Happened to me, 1st or 2nd week I spawned in customs with a red keycard

RIP never forgetti

[solemn thicket]

tbh it's not actually worth like 20+mil

[iron valve]

just taken a keycard off of some unfortunate bastard, do i keep it or sell?

[solemn thicket]

labs takes 200k to get into and you have a million ways to completely fill up on loot there

sell

you're most likely not ready to run labs yet

[iron valve]

aight, he also had a room 306 key, is that anything important?

[flat cipher]

All the syringe stuff @solemn thicket

Propital etc

[solemn thicket]

20k is really not that much money

and as far as I know

[flat cipher]

No but

[solemn thicket]

they actually make a difference

[flat cipher]

Close enough

[solemn thicket]

in combat

I usually sell them all anyways

ifak's are worth just as much atm

[flat cipher]

Yeah I usually sell all of them except morphine

[solemn thicket]

why do you keep morphine?

[flat cipher]

Dunno

[vague shard]

how do i fix this

[solemn thicket]

click the gear

next to my offers

[hushed sundial]

I hate when the market basically picks what to sell

[solemn thicket]

and change minimum quantity from 0 to 1

[flat cipher]

i keep a bottle of ibuprofen in my secure anyway

[naive atlas]

Propital can be used for a jaeger dehydration quest

[flat cipher]

dunno why i keep em

[vague shard]

but it takes up a spot in my offers

[solemn thicket]

restart game

[vague shard]

i cant place a new offer up because it counts as 3 items

[solemn thicket]

it should clear up

[shrewd bobcat]

Hello all

[flat cipher]

Did you kill mimsy

[shrewd bobcat]

Nope we died lol

[flat cipher]

F

[shrewd bobcat]

NA servers are like

[solemn thicket]

hatchet running shoreline

[shrewd bobcat]

A goddamn orgy

[solemn thicket]

typical

[shrewd bobcat]

No we were fully geared lol

[flat cipher]

eu servers are based

never crammed

[solemn thicket]

if you're geared, avoid resort like the plague

[jolly rain]

I killed two player scavs that fired at me first and missed but the bot scavs became hostile does that mean that they have to hit me for them not to be hostile

[shrewd bobcat]

Turkey servers are the best for loot my dudes

[solemn thicket]

waste of time and huge danger

[jolly rain]

Cause if so that's BS

[rotund sand]

managed to run into no players this time around

but only because I couldn't get into stores

lol

[solemn thicket]

@jolly rain yes and no, scav karma is a retarded concept that they need to remove

[shrewd bobcat]

@solemn thicket Oh how little you know about what is coming lol

[rotund sand]

but I did the gas analyzer quest, random nice little help

[vague shard]

i restarted but it isnt fixed

[solemn thicket]

there's literally no reason for me to let a player scav live atm

[flat cipher]

i found a gas analyser 3 runs in a row on ic

ez quest

[solemn thicket]

did you claim the reward from ragman?

[white horizon]

is there by chance a wiki page or like source somewhere that determines all the sounds that are definitely heard by other players?

[solemn thicket]

trade*

[jolly rain]

Yeah I tried being friendly as scav but that led to more deaths than extracts so now I am just gonna kill every scav I see again

[vague shard]

yes

[flat cipher]

everything makes noise except loading mags

in inventory

afaik

[vague shard]

i got the 50k and shit

[rotund sand]

I found my first, it was part 1

[flat cipher]

even turning around slowly makes noise

[shrewd bobcat]

Does someone know if you can make ur sens global for all weapons?

[rotund sand]

now wants more lol

[white horizon]

I ask this because I know that apparently slow walking with a broken leg, is not heard despite it seeming like it.

[flat cipher]

nah nothing is silent

[shrewd bobcat]

That is where you are wrong

[rotund sand]

https://i.imgur.com/vdZeNuO.png probably not worth this stress at all, but what can I do lol

[shrewd bobcat]

standing still and not moving

is silent

[flat cipher]

well yeah

duh

[shrewd bobcat]

😉

[flat cipher]

but like

standing still and aiming then turning around

makes noise

aiming makes noise

[shrewd bobcat]

Sell all of it btw^

[dusk token]

turning around too fast makes noise

[shrewd bobcat]

Yes

[flat cipher]

pretty sure turning slowly makes a little noise too

[rotund sand]

alright

[flat cipher]

keep the ps

though

ps is nice

[digital birch]

is the only way to get rep with the dealers to do their tasks?

[white horizon]

I know you can turn as fast as you want while moving without making the slide noise

[rotund sand]

PS?

oh

[flat cipher]

the ammo

[white horizon]

i was just curious what sounds are basically "silent" like slow walking is meant to be and such

[rotund sand]

thats my ammo, not found in raid

[old snow]

i feel bad for a player killed for once, just did a factory run and a player was doing a wibble wobble being freindly walking towards me and my teammate came around a corner and one taped him lol. would like a f for him

[rotund sand]

pocketed gas analyzer in alpha, hence its here now

whoops

[flat cipher]

basically anything slow is """"silent"""""

[white horizon]

but like a google search says like even opening inventory is heard and such

[flat cipher]

ye

[dusk token]

not prone crawling

[rotund sand]

should I vendor these or bother putting them on flea?

[flat cipher]

crawling is SO

SO

loud

LOL

its more like dragging urself across the floor

[white horizon]

when crawling movement is lvl'd wouldn't it be quieter?

[flat cipher]

i mean its like

the same volume as walking normally

so

basically if you can hear it

they can too

[fallen swallow]

If you need an item like a gas analyzer found in raid if a friend drops it on the ground and you pick it up does it stil count as found in raid?

[flat cipher]

except for loading rounds into mags

[rotund sand]

I don't think crawling irl with the equipment you carry would be any more silent tbh

[bold kernel]

is there anyway i can mount a scope on this, seems liek i can only mount red dots

[remote flume]

Anyone know if 1:7 audio works yet or is it still 1:5

[flat cipher]

sks

🤮

[white horizon]

I'm surprised mag drilling isn't heard since everything else absolutely is

[flat cipher]

use vepr km

:(

[fallen swallow]

No use sks

[remote flume]

SKS over vepr anyday

[flat cipher]

heresy

give me 1 reason sks is better

:(

[snow temple]

hey o7

[reef spoke]

Sks has less visual recoil?

[snow temple]

i need some help installing eft on my new ssd

[flat cipher]

yeah fair

[fallen swallow]

Tower the sniper God has ascended

[flat cipher]

just change the install path in the launcher? @snow temple

aint that hard

[fallen swallow]

Hear ye hear ye

[reef spoke]

• Would still take a 74m over a sks anyday-

[fallen swallow]

What about an svd over sks and 74m?

[reef spoke]

I mean yeah,

svd is cheating

I'm at the quest where I have to turn in pilgrim backpacks to ragman, and I have a bunch of them, but how do I make sure the ones I turn in are the empty ones?

[flat cipher]

tower

why

poor guy

[reef spoke]

@wraith stratus insure the ones you want to turn in

[fallen swallow]

Damn even with that scope

[reef spoke]

@flat cipher Did you not hear the music?

[flat cipher]

thats a ridiculous shot

nope i have my own playing ill rewatch

YOu are just insane

Thankfully they added some clutter to wood

until just before u took that shot

prob compression but still

[shrewd bobcat]

You literally tune out to what sounds like Lindsey Sterling while ur taking heads off

thats epic

[solemn thicket]

I just built 9 M4s

[reef spoke]

lets see.. Here is an old spine spot before they added new area clutter, lumber mill was a literal death trap

[solemn thicket]

don't think I'll be using AK's ever again

[reef spoke]

This was back when I was actively trying to "git gud"

[flat cipher]

I have yet to even use an m4/hk

[reef spoke]

they good

want one ?

[flat cipher]

i HAVE one of each

i just havent touched em

[reef spoke]

want another?

[flat cipher]

if ur offering

[supple wren]

Hi everyone. Could someone do me a huge favor and help me do the "Bullcrap" quest?

[reef spoke]

Thats the one you gotta drop something off in dorms and extract with no scav kills right?

[supple wren]

yep. I already got 2 items placed. only flashdrive left

Been stuck on it for 2 days. Like 10 night runs

[flat cipher]

that reminds me i need to actually do skiers quest

oops

[reef spoke]

So you gotta get the flash drive and extract or get it and place it?

i've not read the quest in forever

[high magnet]

so do i just join sherpa waiting room if i need some help? i've been on the site but i kinda want to play with one now or a few minutes or whatever. 🙂

[supple wren]

get it off the bridge by the customs side, then place it in 3rd story of the dorms

[reef spoke]

@high magnet We use a ticket sysem on the site, and you gotta kind wait for one of us to pull the ticket and contact you via discord or through the forum

You can chat with some of us here as well

[high magnet]

ah okay

[reef spoke]

keep in mind there are only lik 80 of us total...

[supple wren]

I can even offer a bribe. Wasted so much time on it

[reef spoke]

@supple wren let me see if I can round up some bois and well go get it done,

if not we will try to sneak on through

[flat cipher]

im happy to lend a hand

need to run through customs anyway

[supple wren]

Awesome! Thank you

[flat cipher]

insurance coming through

[high magnet]

yea i think i screwed up my tickets anyways cause i canceled one cause i made a mistake on the request and then i made a new request to a specific person i couldn't figure out how to request all, so now my tickets are maxed out at 2 even though one of them is canceled. but yea i kinda got into a jiffy, got grouped up with someone then got teamkilled and lost my ak which was insured

[supple wren]

Someone took the stock? lol

[flat cipher]

yeah

people take parts off, sell em

you get back whatever they leave

[high magnet]

Whats the point of insuring something that can't be recovered?

[supple wren]

Just seems weird to only take stock

[shrewd bobcat]

scav with pilgrim lol

[flat cipher]

wdym skull

thats what insuring does

[high magnet]

but insured my ak but i didn't get it back

[flat cipher]

yeah

it takes time

[high magnet]

like i got my gear

[shrewd bobcat]

24/36 hours^

[flat cipher]

oh

[high magnet]

but not my ak

[shrewd bobcat]

It means someone took it if you didn't get it back

[flat cipher]

because someone too the gun

anything left behind after that raid ends

comes back

[high magnet]

ah okay

[flat cipher]

so they left gear, took the ak

[high magnet]

didn't know that

so do i get the ak back once the raid ends since its insured?

or is it gone forever?

[shrewd bobcat]

its gone

[flat cipher]

nah, if it didnt come back with ur gear

then its gone

[reef spoke]

@high magnet if no one takes it out of raid , yes.

[supple wren]

Insurance only works if noone else takes your stuff. It's really cheap compared to buying the same items again. Pays for itself even if you only get like 20% of your stuff back

[high magnet]

Cause i have no other guns other than a few hand guns

[shrewd bobcat]

You only get your item back if it's insured AND no one takes it.

[high magnet]

okay

[rotund sand]

I thought I got nothing, but that run was still worth like 110k

[supple wren]

Skull. keep an eye on barter deals. For example prapor will give you an AK for 3 tushonka

[high magnet]

Yea i probably will look out for deals now

[reef spoke]

@high magnet if you want I can send you some rifles

[supple wren]

You can always do a scav run also

Best way to learn the maps risk free

[reef spoke]

you a slow and steady player or do you prefer to run and gun?

[flat cipher]

or offline runs

[high magnet]

i did a few offline runs

haven't yet been able to extract yet

[reef spoke]

oof

[high magnet]

i almost did but then i got shot up by a bunch of scavs outta nowhere

[reef spoke]

Did you play any of the stealth games? MGS ? Sam Fisher? etc etc?

[high magnet]

oh yea i'm a fan of tom clancy games

[flat cipher]

yeah i have some nice meta guns i just aint touched em yet

[high magnet]

and metal gear 5

[reef spoke]

@high magnet I can send you some suppressed 5.7's and you can pretend you're playing those

Its a fun game style

[high magnet]

lol

its not like i don't already have enough handguns

[flat cipher]

5-7 is good though

thats the main difference

all other sidearms are 9mm

[reef spoke]

5.7s will pen level 4 helmets quickly

[dusk token]

the bullets you shoot make a huge difference

[flat cipher]

9mm is garbage

[high magnet]

yea i know different calibers do different damage

[flat cipher]

different caliber types too

[high magnet]

aswell as the tips of said bullets

[flat cipher]

ye

like any .366 sucks

[supple wren]

Skull, what map are you trying to play?

[high magnet]

i'm not playing anything right now just on the launcher

[flat cipher]

is igolnik the good one @reef spoke

[supple wren]

That or the BS

[reef spoke]

BS is better than Iggy, but iggy has more pen

[flat cipher]

right

just found a box of it in my stash

lmao

[reef spoke]

its a good trade item

you can trade iggy for m995 or m61

[high magnet]

was hoping to play with someone considering i dont really have medical supplies or any decent long guns or SMGs

[reef spoke]

or sell it for like 900 a pop

[supple wren]

That's what i've been doing, lol. Crafting and selling it

[flat cipher]

thats not bad

[high magnet]

wouldn't be the smartest idea to go without supplies and a handgun and bayonet

[flat cipher]

im not really worried about cash atm

might just keep it

[reef spoke]

@high magnet you can stuff a small med kit in your alpha, and then you can do that.

You will run into issues

but its doable

TTK will obviously not be in your favor

[high magnet]

like i had to use the rest of my supplies healing my guy up after the tk cause every limb was at 3 health

[flat cipher]

this is all i take into loot runs

+a weapon/mags

[red flicker]

where can i find a "to use ammo" chart

[reef spoke]

@red flicker the wiki has the chart uo to date

[fickle kettle]

!ammo

[tribal robin]

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Ballistics

[fickle kettle]

dere you go

[red flicker]

thanks

[fickle kettle]

@left vapor sherpa me too

[wraith stratus]

should I just sell action sx or is it good for legging/destroying armor?

[red flicker]

so basically 9x19 is utter bullshit if you are fighting t3 armor or above

[fickle kettle]

@trim herald i have done somthing stupid today

wanna know ?

[high magnet]

@reef spoke i'm launching the game again if that 5-7 offer is still on the table

[reef spoke]

@high magnet put up a reqest for 4 of them and 8 mags

[high magnet]

where?

in the auction?

[reef spoke]

ye

[high magnet]

okay then give me a sec

[reef spoke]

If you guys wanna go to the sherpa waiting room i'll pull you

[fickle kettle]

time to sniper those 5-7

[shrewd bobcat]

@reef spoke How high demand are you btw? Like how long would I have to wait to have a session with you? 🙂

[reef spoke]

@shrewd bobcat probably when my brains not melting lol

[flat cipher]

[reef spoke]

we still gotta do your shoreline quest yee?

[flat cipher]

55 second match time on customs

POOOOOOOOOOG

i

died

because i forgot to put ammo in my mags.

[mild flume]

Hello there everyone

[shrewd bobcat]

You talking to me? @reef spoke

[reef spoke]

@shrewd bobcat yee

[shrewd bobcat]

Honestly mate I've got so many bloody quests, got shorline woods, interchange and customs I don't mind which 🙂

[flat cipher]

woods

[mild flume]

Anyone here that has upgraded from any version of the game to another?

[flat cipher]

yeah

[shrewd bobcat]

The items will come and be redeemable in game if you're going to ask that 🙂 @mild flume

[mild flume]

Oh

[trim herald]

@fickle kettle you decided to use a sks?

[fickle kettle]

no

it more like a srs stuff

[trim herald]

Shoot

[fickle kettle]

so i used the SR-25 and the DT DMR i think ?

the 2 new gun

[trim herald]

The one good and one mediocre guns, yes

[fickle kettle]

like SR-25 is so so

cause it feel like Tx-15 but m61

and the DT DMR

i thought i was a DMR LOL

i used it single fire all match

[trim herald]

I mean, it's called MDR

:D

[fickle kettle]

but it was autoable

[trim herald]

Yeah

[fickle kettle]

and + i forget to put the m885 out

cough

[trim herald]

It's a nice gun

[fickle kettle]

soooo

[trim herald]

Oh god

[deft kelp]

is anyone willing to help me learn the game tomorrow? how do i schedule sherpa time?

[trim herald]

#sherpa-info

[white horizon]

so, why is mp22 more valuable than mp21, based on the map. it looks like there's more loot in mp21

[bold kernel]

opatchki blyats

waht bullets shoud i use on an mpx?

probably AP 6.3

but its only 9mm still

[obtuse musk]

anyone can help me with the shoreline signal quest?

[bold kernel]

so its not gonna do great on anything higher then like level 2 armour

maybe you could leg them

[obtuse musk]

really hard to get inside to the west wing

[mossy siren]

What kinda of armor do people take in this late I the wipe..are people running around with level5 armor and thermals or what's the go lol

[bold kernel]

the best you can afford without making yourself broke I guess

oh hell yeah

sniper scav lets go

[mossy siren]

Was more wondering what others use haha. I try to take in level4 and a decent gun to every raid

Just some times run into a mutant ninja turtle that takes zero damage from a mag dump lol

[trim herald]

@obtuse musk wait until 10 left in raid and just rush the roof

10 min

[obtuse musk]

okay sure

[trim herald]

@mossy siren I don't ever run less than lvl 5 really

[obtuse musk]

a mosin is enough?

or better bring some other gun

[trim herald]

@obtuse musk should be fine, a vepr 136 is more versatile though

[fast rivet]

^

[mossy siren]

It a good advice luli I had issues doing customs quests until I took my time so I didn't have to try server wipe to get the quest done

And Hunter is just a semi auto mosin basicly I'd give it a go

[obtuse musk]

Actually I sold everyone single vepr to buy mosins

xD

[fast rivet]

smh

[trim herald]

RIP the veprs

[obtuse musk]

I cant handle them

[fast rivet]

136 is just an akm without full auto

[obtuse musk]

the recoil I mean

[fast rivet]

well their mods transfer

so a modded 136 =/= modded akm

still hits like a truck

[obtuse musk]

I dont have the money to mod it

I'm broke

[trim herald]

Just need like 10k to mod it

[fast rivet]

tfw you make 200k every cache run

broke

smh

[trim herald]

15k for the gun, 10k for the mods

Also that

[obtuse musk]

Which ammo to use btw

[trim herald]

Mosin? 7n1

[obtuse musk]

could you show me your build later?

vepr I mean

[mossy siren]

I use the Hunter or adar with level 4 armor and a penis hat.. costs about 110k and can drop a fully geared person

Both only need a scope and the most important part is good ammo

[trim herald]

Sure, it's just a ak-100 handguard, rk-0 grip and a rubber butt pad though

[obtuse musk]

yeah that's the difference between tarkov and other fps

[trim herald]

You can stick an optic on there on a tt01 if you want

[mossy siren]

Prism scope or pko are my fav optics

That are cheap and good

[obtuse musk]

ammo is the stuff I need to worry about

xD

[trim herald]

True

[mossy siren]

Yea. Hunter is cheap only needs m80

[obtuse musk]

does hunter need a scope

[mossy siren]

Adar is about 900rubles a bullet

[mossy siren]

Yea but costs like 19k for one iirc

[fast rivet]

note, the exact same mods transfer over from 136 to akm, ak-103 as well, but different suppressor iirc

[trim herald]

Eww akm

[mossy siren]

Dovetail and a scope like the mosin

[trim herald]

That's a way expensive mod loadout for a vepr though

No need for it

[obtuse musk]

are there anything else to bring

[trim herald]

That's a lot of ammo

:D

[mossy siren]

Yes better bullets

[obtuse musk]

my friend give me these stuff

[trim herald]

7n1

[obtuse musk]

xD

[mossy siren]

7n1

Is 1hit body shots if it pens

[open jetty]

only take a single extra stack of ammo

[orchid cloud]

what gun is my scav holding

[open jetty]

put 10 of the bullets in your pockets

[mossy siren]

And I wouldn't even take 50 bullets

[obtuse musk]

these ones?

[mossy siren]

I use 10 in pockets 20 in my case and I'm good

Yea

[obtuse musk]

@orchid cloud OP-sks

[orchid cloud]

cheers

[clear stag]

can raiders spawn at the start of raid on reserve?

[open jetty]

i dont normally run snipers so i take a full extra stack of bullets but if youre not staying in long then listen to carterr

[mossy siren]

You can kill a scav take it's gun

Only need mosin to lol stuff far away

[open jetty]

^

[obtuse musk]

allright I'm ready

[mossy siren]

And use scav gun to get scabs and stuff

[obtuse musk]

which channel dude

[rich cloak]

Pepesan only if they are Summoned

[mossy siren]

On reserve the boss can spawn straight away

But raiders from the door lever no

[open jetty]

pepsan you might be thinking of boss guards and boss

raiders you need door lever and or train

[clear stag]

yea idk maybe it was boss

So boss can spawn at start?

[open jetty]

yes

[mossy siren]

Yea

[rich cloak]

Yes

[clear stag]

oke

[mossy siren]

In the buildings near chopper

[open jetty]

or underground in the bunker

[mossy siren]

And knights and in the k buildings

[open jetty]

or garages

[rich cloak]

Or trainstation

[open jetty]

^

[obtuse musk]

the capitalists sold there mosins without sight

F

[mossy siren]

If they speak American it's them

Russians are raiders

[obtuse musk]

um also

what should I do if I got a blacked stomach

[mossy siren]

Painkiller and leave

[tired heart]

you dont get your ammo back when you insure mags right

[obtuse musk]

just leave asap?

[mossy siren]

That's correct

[obtuse musk]

are there anyway to heal it back

[mossy siren]

Yea stomach will make you lose all your energy n water really quick

Yea cms or survival kit

But don't waste those on a 90k run with a mosin. That's throw away kinda stuff

[obtuse musk]

okay

[mossy siren]

What map are you doing btw?

[obtuse musk]

shoreline

[rich cloak]

Carter Raiders arent Russian

[fast rivet]

for a quest iirc

[obtuse musk]

still waiting for Rommel

[mossy siren]

The ones on reserve have always spoken Russian at me?

[rich cloak]

These arent Raiders

You are thinking of gluhar and the bois

[mossy siren]

Those are American

[rich cloak]

On

[mossy siren]

And the raiders are Russian I'm pretty sure

[rich cloak]

*no

Bro

Shut up if you dont know what you are Talking about

[obtuse musk]

oh guys

I got a ledx from a pro today earlier

should I keep it for myself or sell it

[fast rivet]

sell

[rich cloak]

Or keep it for lv3 medbay

[timber dock]

I wish I could combine partially used medkits.

[fast rivet]

[obtuse musk]

anyone wanna help me with shoreline?

[fast rivet]

whats your username in game

[obtuse musk]

got ya

[weary badge]

Soo I played as a scav and killed this player scav wearing this class 4 armor with one 5.45ak BP round in the thorax. I thought I must have hit him in the side where the armor doesn't cover the body, but in the after raid report it said that 4 damage points where absorbed by armor which is the amount of points substracted from the durability. I don't understand, class 4 armor is basically useless against BP rounds? Since I one tapped him to the chest and it took only 4 durability off.

Since I use this armor a lot myself in raids and I don't want to go in fully geared just to get one tapped by a BP round

[open jetty]

its ok armor against scavs but trash against players

[timber dock]

@weary badge BP "starts with a low-medium penetration chance but quickly increases" against that armor. So you got a lucky pen, I guess.

[open jetty]

plus he couldve had low health already

[weary badge]

True

So against players I should use class 5?

On customs

[fickle kettle]

@trim herald so ya you know what happened

"i tried to kill a PMC from 150m and question myself why it took half of the mag to kill him

[river sphinx]

what do i do with a bitcoin i just traded? how do i sell for money?

[fickle kettle]

therapist

[rich cloak]

@weary badge yes

Also armor counts for the whole body part not just what the in game model covers

[weary badge]

I see

What class 5 armor would you recommend?

[rich cloak]

Tactec

Personally

[open jetty]

tactec is good armor

[karmic meadow]

Is there any disadvantage to depleting his blue bar while sprinting

Cool, thanks
