@karmic meadow your stamina bar? You start huffin' and puffin'. And you won't have stamina to quickly run into cover if you start taking fire.
karmic meadow
that's it
timber dock
Not sure on the energy/water usage, but I could see it being a thing.
karmic meadow
Okay thanks
timber dock
Also means you won't be able to jump until you get some stamina back.
And ADSing uses stamina as well.
karmic meadow
Yeah those are basics, but I wanted to see if there were anything behind being fatigued
thanks for the infos 🙂
Also is there any difference between VSS and VAL other than rarity?
lapis mauve
vss uses dmr skill val uses ar skill
flat cipher
and that
lapis mauve
also val can change stock but thats kinda expensive for wwhat you get
flat cipher
yeah val can get better ergo
with grips etc
but is way more expensive
just use a vss the ammo rips through armour
sp6 or spp
lapis mauve
for most people vss is better because of cost
lapis mauve
even sp-5 is good, they buffed it to be as good as old sp-6 almost
flat cipher
ye
karmic meadow
alright thanks 🙂
flat cipher
can just walk around hipfiring the vss in full auto and take out well geared players
kinda op
only downside is the 30round mags are EXPENSIVE
lapis mauve
and it eats ammo
karmic meadow
Eh I guess just run the 20 ones if you're confident in your spray
karmic meadow
y'all rock thanks.
lapis mauve
i usually use 20's unless i do something like labs

29k for a 30rd on flea atm

it has 0 recoil anyways

If I lose the ms2000 praopr gave me for a task go I have to buy more?

put in secure container ideally
karmic meadow
@tribal cove you can place them in your secure container
also when placed you just have to survive, so don't stay near the trucks, go hide or take cover
tribal cove
So they are placed instantly?
karmic meadow
no there is an animation and you chose where you place them
people can take them off but it's unlikely to happen
tribal cove
I see
tribal cove
Am I missing something?
karmic meadow
place 4 in your containers
or just take one
that's it if you don't want to lose them

yes

you don't need the doc case if you're just here for the quest

i guess ill just bring a bunch of cond milk and a bunch of water then just in same raid chug milk then water

i just did wtf like no sound nothign my char just droped dead full healt full engery hydration
waxen forge
There is a limit to how much you can cheese it in a raid though
bold kernel
ok ill do that then
waxen forge
While leveling skills, the character will now have "exhaustion” 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 #❌〡patch-notes

I bought the game today and I am level 4, I mostly want to know what healing items to bring and what armor I should have
waxen forge
@violet mica First thing to do is RESET EXPECTATIONS. Doesn’t 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.

waxen forge
Upgrade Workbench in Hideout. Then go to flea and examine every weapon and weapon part. That will give you full functionality of the EDIT PRESET function. You can swap parts in and out at will and the parts do not need to be in stash to use this feature as this is a “virtual build.” If you like what you made you can “save” it with a custom name and it will allow you to buy all the parts with the Assemble puzzle piece. Use cog wheel in buy parts section to determine if you only buy from traders or include flea offers.

@devout forum the problem is that the only somewhat good 9mm ammo is ap6.3 which costs 700 per bullet right now

smgs are basically "you spend 15-20k on a laser and 60k on the ammo required to actually kill players"
gun laser not actual laser

We are not trying to be mean here
Just shedding some light on why 9mm is total ass right now

ap rounds are still ass and won't even reliably pen fshields until a couple shots
thats assuming you land several face shots in a row
before dying
and face shots also assumes the person you're shooting at is looking at you and therefore is probably shooting back
just buy rips and shoot legs

Hello everyone 🙂

@trim jewel smgs are cool but they lack good ranged combat. Mp7 is a top tier gun imo so if you can spear the change I would suggest you give it a try
waxen forge
It's not SMG that are bad...it's the caliber of ammunition they take
MP7 is an exception
rich cloak
4.6 is pretty amazing imo
trim jewel
@waxen forge yeah, I'm noticing on the charts, they don't taste very well vs AR ammo's.
sour plume
there isn't an armor in the game that can stand up to 4.6 ap

I just found out about turning off hyperthreading and I don't know how I ever played this game before. The FPS boost is insane
half jackal
it actually has a lot compared to modded M4/HKs
47 recoil with rk1

sour plume
47 recoil is nothing

Issue with AP SX is its ~1k rubles currently per shot
rich cloak
That's the problem
quaint thorn
in an SMG which eats ammo
bold kernel
what does that exclamation mark mean?
trim jewel
Yeah, but the MP7 is about twice what I put my budget for weapons at.

anything under like 70-80 is easy to control, under 50 is basically a 0 effort laser

you'll kill someone in gen4 faster by shooting them in the legs with r37.F than you will shooting them in the chest with sb193 or L191

Doubt
sour plume
so if you're not using flesh rounds you better be good at spraying face
potent pawn
also doubt
rich cloak
At 900 rpm and 35 pen
half jackal
He's right on this one
rich cloak
You still go through armor relatively quickly
sour plume
98 damage rounds mate, that's a 5 shot kill on any player in any armor
half jackal
I mean in theory - if you can hit thorax with all your shots it will kill him
potent pawn
the chance of pen increases as armor drops in HP. The fire rate melts armor and then you are just shooting the body
its why smgs are insane
rich cloak
Let me guess you also thing ultra nosler is a good round?
half jackal
P90 takes like 4 shots before it pens gen 4
sour plume
ultra nosler is a bolt action/semi auto round
you can't put 5 shots into someone's leg at 900rpm
sour plume
you think you'll pen c5 and do 80 thorax damage in 5 shots with sb193?
potent pawn
You melt armor
sour plume
because it's faster ttk that's literally the entire point
potent pawn
obviously other rounds have better pen at different calibers but the faster ttk is the whole point
sour plume
if you're shooting my gen4 assault wth SB193 and im shooting your legs with R37.F and we're both using the same gun, im probably going to kill you faster on average most times
rich cloak
If you Wanna go for ttk you could also say just hit the head kappa

but to say it doesnt pen... it just destroys it then can pen

really lucky shot through the side of his helmet

@half jackal good thing the fire rate is insnae

that or one of my teammates put a mag into his helmet and reduced the durability to like 10

it means on average it will take 9 shots to kill

Ultra nosler is best bully round

@half jackal if we say that you hit all your shots on a area that is a lot harder to hit yes

karmic meadow
does your general stash approximation counts the money you threw in your hideout?

@half jackal I get the point you guys are trying to make here, but if we calculate like that every flesh damage round would be better than others
potent pawn
@iron valve pro tip though put most of your ammo in the prison wallet and move it out in increments to not lose a whole 60 rounds at once
half jackal
I mean i've literally never used flesh rounds
potent pawn
same
rich cloak
I understand where you are coming from friend
half jackal
P90 sucks ass on labs because of that
half jackal
I know - but we were comparing for Gen4
half jackal
I dont mean for long range - I mean within 10m
potent pawn
What do you guys think of AP ammo for the mp5? I have a kitted one and I think it will destroy with AP in there
rich cloak
@potent pawn it's bad
sour plume
garbage
potent pawn
Really?
sour plume
like I said earlier, ap 6.3 rounds have lower pen than 7.62 PS and cost 10x more
rich cloak
Horrendous if you calculate the price it costs to how good it is
sour plume
im not arguing the ballistics but that just goes to show how terrible 9mm is for pen
stone surge
@potent pawn 9x19 just sucks
rich cloak
It is
stone surge
in the current state of the game
rich cloak
But 9mm is horrible
sour plume
esp considering the price
rich cloak
9mm is valid for like 4 days after wipe
pliant owl
500k fully kitted pmc after 4 hours down to 10k cant afford shit if you need to make money run reserve and for fucks sake take your time you can run 300k per run
potent pawn
But if I am going to run it, is AP the best choice here?
sour plume
4 days even? i would think in just a couple hours ppl are gonna stop using pacas
sour plume
your best choice would be to sell the mp5 and buy a vepr km with bp instead
potent pawn
@pliant owl you have the keys? I want to do it but I don't know how
sour plume
but if you really want to run an mp5 dont run ap unless you're really confident in your ability to hit face
potent pawn
Yeah but I can actually hit my shots with the mp5 and like no recoil
pliant owl
No keys but if you run the 3 pawn buildings by helicopter and exfil by pipes you'll be good

Interchange doesn't need keys at all to make $
pliant owl
Idk interchange i know factory reserve an 30% of customs
potent pawn
@pliant owl good to know. I got the cliff descent stuff but does that use up the paracord every time?
waxen forge
Factory is in no way shape or form a place to make $
potent pawn
thank god
anyone see nikita saying that he is considering having ammunition malfunctions? Like the bullets not working... is he memeing?
rich cloak
Malfunctions of guns are allready a thing technically
pliant owl
Factory is only good for night time scav farms
But scavs are basically aim bots now so be careful
potent pawn
yeah but the ammo itself
waxen forge
It's totally a planned thing
rich cloak
But apparently they want to make that more of a thing

Is there a practical reason to fold your stock while using a gun? The only thing I can think of is really close CQB
waxen forge
@pliant owl True but gear/weapons is not $...compared to value per slot of Tech/hardware
pliant owl
True but its a good place to start
waxen forge
Not really
pliant owl
Tbh id run reserve for a few hours if you can extract youd be a millionaire in now time
waxen forge
Risk/vs reward
High cqb map..no time to loot
Gear/weapons make a fraction of the money as tech/hardware
Run interchange as a scav with an MBSS and a wt-rig..can make 300K
Easy
pliant owl
You can make a decent chunk of change if you play it right nd not have all 5 of you looting and bam one scav screws you
waxen forge
No
I'm not saying you can't make $
I'm saying you can make much more consistent money on interchange/shoreline/reserve
Gear takes up too many slots.

I just looted a couple of these black modded AKs from what I assume were boss bodyguards at the gas station on customs, are they any good?

I just tried to receive my insurance items and when I was done I pressed accept and got some error about moving items. Now they're not in my stash or in my mail from prapor.
iron valve
Well yeah at least they have a sight

@strong jolt restart your game

@iron valve They are fine. Not great mods but ok. IF you want to use them..keep them. IF not the break them down to parts and sell to Skier..then the rest to Mechanic

ok thanks @rich cloak

I think I forgot to loot the boss himself since I had very little time left, does he drop anything good?

Yes

Not sure if guaranteed or not

The boss and his dudes had some real horrible AI so I pretty much farmed them for free, does this always happen?

No

Oh, so how good of an idea it is to attack them if you are a poor noob like me
waxen forge
Not usually a great idea
However it's possible to make it work
Range can be your friend
rich cloak
Unless they make their 100 meter pinpoint accurate hail marry plays

Unfortunately range is my enemy since I'm pretty much always using irons
And getting used to irons is pretty hard

orchid cloud
havent even got flea market
waxen forge
With low level gear you need to be tactical. Try to let people walk to you and shoot them vs. getting into a face to face spray down
@orchid cloud First thing to do is RESET EXPECTATIONS. Doesn’t 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.
orchid cloud
customs >
waxen forge
Yes
It has first tasks. It is small enough to get action and big enough to move around.
IF you can make it from spawn to exit 5 out of 10 times with scavs on and while engaging them then you are ready for online

i picked up on customs pretty well

Baffled on Customs map. When I come from SE corner (around ZB-1011) going west, if I stay inside the compound, I come to the building access in front of WH4, but it's locked. So the only way for me to get west is to go through the hole in the wall back east in front of the trains?
