Are the meta guns which are literally built to shoot without ANY recoil pretty much

god gotta love the bitching in eft chat..

M4 is regarded as one of the better platforms due to their versatility and good caliber

and do i search?

dont get me wrong i dont think semi is bad
valid rapids
cause its not working
rich cloak
The one you mean is the vpo136
celest condor
VPO-136 is 7.62x39, aka VEPR KM, the VPO-209 is .366 which is a shotgun.
rich cloak
Vpo 209 is the shotgun
jolly terrace
i just like the option to bullet hose anyone in case the need arises
shrewd bobcat
Full auto if used when needing to be full auto when running high ammo, but I feel like people who run expensive builds actually know what they're spending so it all scales

jade pivot
its not quite a shotgun its a smoothbore rifle that shoots slugs out of retooled 7.62 casings
warped halo
@naive lion
rich cloak
@jade pivot Russian law says it is 
jolly terrace
i recognize that gun
shrewd bobcat
It's my opinion
rich cloak
@shrewd bobcat no canted sight reeeeee
jade pivot
that 60 round drum is actually worse than the 60 round stanang so that isnt quite MIN MAXED
shrewd bobcat
@rich cloak I run weaver all the time
celest condor
@jade pivot True, but in Russia it is apparently classified as a shotgun, just not what America or the rest of the world would classify as a shotgun.
Then again I watched a video about a guy walking around with a "pistol" that was actualy an AR15 longer than the responding officers rifles...
rich cloak
Canted pk06 ignores ergo that's why people use it on everything
shrewd bobcat
It's a PK
jolly terrace
@shrewd bobcat how much would that gun be worth with all those mods, as is.
shrewd bobcat
@jolly terrace Like 2-300k
jolly terrace
jesus
jade pivot
its classified that way in russia the same way that mp5k's are legal and mp5's arent but you can put a "pistol brace" on the mp5k making it a mp5
shrewd bobcat
That's like actually crazy amounts
jolly terrace
a gun worth as much as my stash
shrewd bobcat
But if you're running that? You're spending 1200 a shot
celest condor
I have a 400K+ Rsass in my stash 🙂
shrewd bobcat
Show
jolly terrace
ive got maybe 150k and some random stuff
shrewd bobcat
YOu wanna bring 3 mags spare so 60x1200 is
celest condor
sure gotta load EFT
shrewd bobcat
You're spening a lot of money on ammo
jade pivot
in russia civillians cant have Rifled guns unless they have owned a shotgun for at least 5 years, so they smooth the bore of old Vepr's and shoot slugs out of retooled 7.62 and call them shorguns, its to bend around the law
celest condor
just like braces are used to bend american rifle laws, or bump stocks are used to bend restrictions on full auto.
celest condor
jolly terrace
honestly i found a kitted out ak-74n and it felt super good and i liked it alot. that would probably be my go to gun right now

408 000 Rubles according to "find prices" in the preset
shrewd bobcat
Fun
shrewd bobcat
You want my opinion? Mid range
warped halo
Vepr or aks are always solid, any specific mod recommendations which are budget?
jolly terrace
i mean it was basically a meta ak, high ergo , lowest recoil possible
shrewd bobcat
Grip, sight, silencer if you want
celest condor
Good example of budget gun. ~70-80K
actual model of AK does not really matter. And there are similar handguards that might be cheaper.
tawdry badge
what, only 80k???
shrewd bobcat
It's funny because people get excited when they see ANY gun pretty much with a sight and a suppressor then will drop loads of stuff for the entire things when you only need 1/2 attacthemtns from it
shrewd bobcat
@celest condor Would RK-2 be considered budget
celest condor
Price varies based on flea market, was around 67K when I built it, was around 83K last I checked.
warped halo
I know there's ctrl click
celest condor
RK-2 is not budget.
jolly terrace
thats for 1 foregrip

@shrewd bobcat honestly adar sight is decent but when you're quick chucking a sight in raid
Some of the pistol sights really suck
formal wagon
i use the one that stretches up and then scopes
literally the only one that works in that gun for me that i know of
celest condor
no max on ergo

but there is an a way
there is only one combination that can give you the highest amount of ergo
that should be the max
for now
until they release more shit

novel ridge
@upbeat geyser hatchet runs are guarenteed profit, you literally lose nothing on death
rich cloak
@upbeat geyser 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.
Go to #521628660298678283 and #news-setup so you can get the PMC role and see all of Discord. IF it doesn’t work can PM the contact moderator bot for help. #pvp-lfg

novel ridge
it may hurt the economy but so do the bots
rich cloak
Not nearly as much
novel ridge
well either i can make money or worry about the economy of a massive game
celest condor
hatchet running promotes the foot race to the loot style of gameplay that I find repulsive.
novel ridge
i choose the first when im solo
celest condor
You can play the game as it is intended and still make money.
novel ridge
doesn't matter, until they make it not profitable, it will always be rat meta
maybe, but no fun dying with gear when i can get 1m+ on good raids and lose nothing if i get dropped in spawn
valid rapids
Do player scav squads spawn together?
celest condor
I have a 100 million stash to prove it. Well maybe a little below that now since I have given my son around 28 million in rubles (worth) in the last week.
agile raft
reserve scav is such a waste of time haha no point waiting this long in queue

that's nice smurf

Do player scav squads spawn together?

im just trying to learn and running a ton of factory

Factory is fun to learn the gunplay
novel ridge
learn reserve for money

I get owned everytime though

be more snek
jolly terrace
But then again u can learn gunplay in offline mode
iron valve
wtf is up with buying ammo for the hunter, only Fence sells it and as soon as it appears its sold out
celest condor
Point being, you do not need to hatchling, you do not need to exploit the flea market to make money in the game. You can play the game and make money. Just need to adjust your play style.
upbeat geyser
i try to, but I dont have any guns su i cant get kills
jolly terrace
That's the point smurf
rich cloak
Thing is if you keep doing this you will never get better
jolly terrace
It's a game

thing is i play how i want

Sure youll have money
celest condor
Hatchlings are abusing and exploiting game mechanics though.
rich cloak
But you could also play cookieclicker for that
upbeat geyser
I haven't even bought a hatchet yet. Idk how to and im just running around with a knife since I've died with my weapons...

Oh don't worry they will Nerf secure container further and further

it's just called hatchling because EOD version comes with a hatchet
so most people have a hatchet

Also u used to start with a hatchet years ago afaik
rich cloak
!Wiki hot delivery
broken quailBOT
celest condor
it is abuse and exploiting of game mechanics. It is not intended. Nikita has said he never saw the hatchling problem coming. They are making changes to game mechanics to combat hatchlings, and they are talking about doign more changes.
covert sonnet
Im looking at the wiki page, doesnt say anything about it
novel ridge
thats nice, 3 years in, no change, ping me when they finally do something
until then i will enjoy it
celest condor
Arguing that it is not an abuse/exploit is just as asanine as saying that magically refilling fuel tanks by simply walking into a raid was intended.
shrewd bobcat
What did I miss
jolly terrace
They actually changed slot to combat hatchling runs
agile raft
ive been seeing increasingly more and more hatchlings on interchange
rich cloak
@covert sonnet it probably doesn't matter then
covert sonnet

stone owl
Is it completly random what time u spawn as a scav or is there a "lower limit"?
karmic meadow
random
rich cloak
Not really
novel ridge
lower limit is 10 i believe, at least thats the lowest ive spawned in
rich cloak
There is a limit
jolly terrace
Lowering hp to 1 if die in raid, making secure container not be able to hold specific things
upbeat geyser
i've spawned in as a scav and watched the last guy leave cause I didnt know
jolly terrace
Hatchlings have been nerfed
rich cloak
I am still waiting for them to go back to not being able to put stuff in mto secure containers
agile raft
gamma case should be to protect things you brought with you, not things you found
stone owl
spawned at fac with 3 min left and like (not factual but close) 4/7 last intercharge scavruns ive had 9-11 min left :I
rich cloak
Raidtimers are reduced so that can happen
celest condor
@rich cloak I am waiting for that too. I thin next step will be no barter items though.
jolly terrace
Raid times are reduced because of server load
celest condor
Raid time reductions are temporary.
novel ridge
they'll kill their community
because those who are learn aren't going to keep sacraficing gear
rich cloak
My optimal fix idea would be to set a lock timer on to putting things into the container. Like say after 10 minutes you can
warped halo
Nah
novel ridge
which i guess means more scav runs but it's just going to discourage people that have 20 min scav timers
warped halo
I think something simpler would be to just compartmentize the containers
rich cloak
This is a hardcore game
warped halo
So a gamma would have 3 1x3
warped halo
Still let's you get small loot and meds
But won't let you stick larger more valuable items
rich cloak
I can Stil just rush into tech room and stuff 2 gpus in my but
warped halo
Ie keycard, ledx, etc
novel ridge
weird would be looking at money and then going "nah we dont want that, it's a hardcore game"
celest condor
From the polls I have seen, community seems about 50/50 to locking the secure containers.
rich cloak
Give it the time lock I mentioned
celest condor
That change will definitely not kill the game.
warped halo
@celest condor you hate hatchlings until you are one
novel ridge
see the thing is, community will stay if they dont lock it, but if they do lock it, they will lose people
because the community is used to the meta, they bitch about it on discord but in the end, not like you're gonna stop playing
jolly terrace
i never hathcling run. i at least take a pistol or so with me
novel ridge
if you remove a way for players to fund raids, you will lose people
celest condor
@warped halo Have not done a hatchet run since flea market was introduced. No need for them anymore.
warped halo
@novel ridge honestly tho the twitch event gathered some audience I'm pretty sure isn't the type for this game, but yeah hatchlings are still somewhat of an issue
jolly terrace
but locking the cases is a terrible idea
rich cloak
Lock it for a set amount of time
warped halo
@jolly terrace we only need something so hatchlings aren't faster than geared people lol
celest condor
And before flea market, only hatchet run to find a rare item which you need to do over and over again so you can get on with a task.
warped halo
That's the main issue tbh
upbeat geyser
anyone know good ways to get better and make money. when you have nothing?
rich cloak
People who actually do the raid are rewarded
novel ridge
regardless of opinion, reality is, not locking them is a safe way to maintain audience and just entertain them with other features like new maps. Locking them runs the risk of losing some of your community and thus, their funding
warped halo
Either that or pmc healing needs to have its cost raised by alot but the issue in that is bad players will go broke
jolly terrace
drago i thought u were gonna be gone. unless u on mobile lol
warped halo
Why don't they just have a pmc cool down tbh
celest condor
@upbeat geyser I have a basic loot run I can fall back on to make money with limited gear.

@novel ridge people allready payed they won't loose dick

hasty silo
@upbeat geyser Do pistol runs, scav, buy valuable trades from vendors
warped halo
Nah Im staying here
jolly terrace
i just wanna kill people man
novel ridge
yes, they already have my money, that's not the issue, i have enough hours to justify the cost. it's about the future, the less this is marketed as beginner friendly. Doesn't even matter whether it is or is. If it's made clear from the start learning this game is miserable, you will never increase your audience because people won't spend their money on something that will likely just piss them off and make them feel like they wasted their money. Basic psychology
hasty silo
use the secure container to put high value stuff in and pull out of raids early instead of pushing it to bank up @upbeat geyser
novel ridge
streamers wont push their viewers to play the game
the streamers will likely make more money cuz people will view instead of play but that doesn't really help BSG
jolly terrace
i just want more wipes. gimme dat #FRESH vibe
novel ridge
It's also lost money because people may buy the basic edition to try it. realize the curve, then never upgrade
warped halo
Go back to eft chat
hasty silo
@upbeat geyser Burn through your gear that is low cost, sell your high value gear from raids. If you die, run your scav instead of paying to get your stats back and your status will regen while you're scavving. Know what to pick up to maximize your per slot value; a 5x2 akm will be worth like 3000 per slot when random barter items would easily be ~80-100k in the same inv space
shrewd bobcat
But then there are the people like me who bought the game because it's hard as anything, I am a low cost account and I have a fairly nice amount of money in stash! I think it caters for certain people and that's fine?
I think I get what you're saying but you need to remember that this is in beta, this is all a test, there Will be a tutorial, for example.

you do want to hate hatchlings

L to R: shitty ammo I shouldn't be holding on to, Trophy Guns, Why-is-staying-alive-so-expesnive, Armor I'll never go out with, rich but no stash upgrade, mags that get bought out instantly @shrewd bobcat

how can you hate on free money

just seems boring to me
final tendon
As a new player : If you get a key like the RB PSP2 , would you sell it to get enough money for a good container or keep it around ?

anyone still having trouble matching ?

You've changed my life dude

Ammo boxes on the flea market. Is there any way to tell if they are empty?

Can you tell if the Shoreline Pier Boat extract is active without checking?

@shrewd bobcat that VSS is ugly bro no cap

shrewd bobcat
Why

if its 600g, I'd assume its not empty p:

Easier to aim with less distance between sight and barrel

This one is empty in my stash, and is 500g

I was waiting for it
sonic lake
i guess i can leave the 15min factory queue :((
shrewd bobcat
:(( Night or day?

dense patrol
Hah, I guess this is how they prevent people from selling empty ammo boxes LUL
shrewd bobcat
Grosssss
sonic lake
@dense patrol just delete them bruh
dense patrol
Yeah, I was just curious
wet moss
the same also applies if u try and list a salewa that is 1/400 also
and many other examples

Do ammo packs even have a purpose since you can usually stack larger amounts of bullets in a single square anyway?

Ammo packs is the way I get BT ammo from Prapor
sonic lake
its nonexistant tho?
formal wagon
idk i think sp-6 is way too good to say im searching for ammo
elfin tendon
Sorry for the wall. I would like some input and help with this, as a level 7 in which this is my first wipe ever and who has been too much of a scaredy-cat to play anything other than factory, what direction should I take or what map should I play to get started and actually play the game like a normal player
formal wagon
i took someones vss cause he had shit ammo and gave me a chance to aim and headshot him
lmao
sonic lake
this if im looking to be cheap
@elfin tendon >scared >plays factory
go customs bruh
dense patrol
@elfin tendon A lot of the starter quests are on Customs, so that is the logical map to start on.
shrewd bobcat
@elfin tendon I would normally give you lots of advice but I am really tired I'm sure someone else can help you 🙂
lapis raft
Lol👆
wet moss
its kinda two trains of thought
customs is easy to learn, wont make u money unless u have keys... but its easy to learn
interchange is kinda hard to learn but also kinda hard not to make money if u live
lapis raft
I survived my first time on a map and not since 😂
elfin tendon
Alright that makes sense lmao
sonic lake
factory is not the maps for newbies
white ocean
i love reserve best map imo
elfin tendon
Customs actually confuses me so much and I can never find my way around the place which i honestly need to walk around in offline
split vapor
true garnet
im level 3, what map should I play lmao
sonic lake
customs
shrewd bobcat
Customs is the geared players dream bcs new players
fickle plank
I am thinking of gifting the game to a friend, is it a code or something?
shrewd bobcat
Yes
lapis raft
I know that’s true lmao
sonic lake
factory is also CoD map
wet moss
once u learn customs its impossible not to know
shrewd bobcat
^
wet moss
its pretty much a straight line
shrewd bobcat
^
frozen jay
@elfin tendon honestly? Pick a map and stick with it, learn all the stash spots, where combat happens, etc. Once you've got the map down, expand to a second map, etc
sonic lake
i dont play on customs because new players lol
you want to level up, not just get loot btw
this game has a point
elfin tendon
Oh yeah for sure
sonic lake
whats money when you cant buy shit from traders
and can only buy flea market stuff at insane rates
split vapor
scavs arent op at all
sonic lake
what did you start with lmfao
wet moss
the funny thing is.. there are some people with high lvl traders that sell things at a markup
split vapor
idk it was in 11.7
sonic lake
ah
sonic lake
yeah its called market abusers
shrewd bobcat
It's called
sonic lake
stonks
shrewd bobcat
Knowing how to abuse things to make gain
white ocean
what do the earpieces do?
sonic lake
better hearing
shrewd bobcat
Make sounds easier to here
white ocean
damn ive been thinking they do the opposite and offered slight armour or something
elfin tendon
Also another issue I need to address, how do I get over gear fear. I look at my kit and I tell myself I’m gonna use it but then I jump out and like use just a mosin and some crap rig and T-bag
wet moss
there are closed helmets which cover ur ears... those hinder footsteps and u cant wear headphones..
frozen jay
@white ocean nope, but there are high end helmets that will let you wear hearing and offer armor over.
fiery rover
well the best helmets don't have that
shrewd bobcat
@elfin tendon I got over it by playing with others and realising that it doesn't really matter what you use you will almost always at some point using it
frozen jay
@elfin tendon well...consider all the gear will be wiped at next major patch. It's all gone anyways
shrewd bobcat
And at the end of the day, it'll be gone soonish 🙂
wet moss
the other thing to consider is
if ur gear is semi crap and u insure it
ull most likely get it back
elfin tendon
I literally have a mil in roubles, 9 guns but I still can’t bring myself to use them. And losing them all after it wipe is fine and all, my issue isn’t losing the gear, it’s getting to a point where I don’t have anything else but then It all just sits
compact yarrow
just delete the guns arcdic
fiery rover
the important thing is: if you don't go in with decent gear the chances are high to get killed by a scav or you are so hurt after 1 encounter that you have to leave the map early
wet moss
once u have a ton of gear from insurance rollin back it really eases gear fear.. for me that is
compact yarrow
thats the best way to get over it
devout leaf
what mag does The AKM use>
elfin tendon
I’ve actually sold a ton of gear recently just to get rid of it since I wasn’t using it but I can’t bring myself to sell anymore either
frozen jay
@elfin tendon I sell guns that I am not actively using. Frees up the rubles, and I can always rebuy it
mystic flume
is there a chinese discord channel?
shrewd bobcat
@elfin tendon I buy a gun and ammo, use it until I die, restock, I don't really keep spares of anything and pretty much always if I get a gun it's straight into dissasembly, realise that the flee can buy you anything at all.
compact yarrow
roubles > gear. there is no point in hoarding in this game. its a strange phenomena @elfin tendon . if you like a gun, save the preset, sell it
shrewd bobcat
Gun wise anyways
dense patrol
I think I managed to make a decent cheap AK-74m with parts I can always get from traders:
fiery rover
also make yourself some sort oflimit and if you are over that limit: just say screw it and play with good gear, like you got 2mill rouble to spare? slap that thermo scope on your weapon, mod it completly get that big ass armor and backpack and go in and kill some people
slim fern
whats the main use of small sicc case over documents case?
shrewd bobcat
I've never actually used a thermal lol
fiery rover
more stuff fit inside it
shrewd bobcat
A few more slots @slim fern
fiery rover
keys, dogtags, money ect.
elfin tendon
Yeah that all makes sense too
fiery rover
doc doesn't hold dogtags as far as i remember
slim fern
I thought docs could carry keys
frozen jay
Heck, when I got the Christmas gift, I went ham with the p90 in factory until I finally died
Lots of fun :-)
lapis raft
I know you can only reset every few weeks but I’m curious how many people and how many times you reset player stats
shrewd bobcat
Right im off to bed before I pass out in my elderly mans chair
compact yarrow
docs can carry keys
shrewd bobcat
Goodnight all ❤️
compact yarrow
SICC case is just bigger
frozen jay
Sicc can take valuables the docs cant
elfin tendon
Also if I’m being fair though, I’m not buying any gear atm because I’m saving up to get a case which I’m not too sure which one I should get. Not too long ago I was having huge issues with stash space and one successful run and I’m full up
wet moss
so a sicc can hold a lion?
solemn plaza
anyone trying to help a lv 7 that needs to get some loot and experience at the game?
elfin tendon
I’m not sure whether to not get a case, or to get an ICase to hold other cases and other items or just a weapons case for 600k roubles less and just store weapons
agile forge
@elfin tendon lucky scav box is useful
elfin tendon
Yeah idk what case I should even get tbh
frozen jay
@solemn plaza out to dinner with the wife, but if you're on later, I'll take you out
lapis raft
I literally just started playing this game like yesterday 😂
solemn plaza
@frozen jay yup ill be on later
wet moss
sold docs case after keytool
wet moss
docs case 200k, keytool 600k
frozen jay
@elfin tendon lucky scav is always my first purchase
agile forge
If you’re a new player and have lots of guns in your stash, I would challenge you to decide if you actually need all those guns over buying a weapon box
frozen jay
@elfin tendon followed by a meds case and then, later, icase or two
wet moss
lucky scav definitely too good especially if u run a lot of interchange
lapis raft
Been sitting here 5+ mins to get into customs 😑😬 just to die in a min or two I bet
wet moss
i couldnt see buyin any stash container before junkbox
elfin tendon
@agile forge Ahh see there’s my constant debate, using the guns for raids and losing them or stashing them up for later when I can actually use them
agile forge
Or just sell and use that money for other purposes
wet moss
Find 1 gun u like, dissassemble and sell all others
fiery rover
if you always think: yeah i'll use this later you will never use it
wet moss
after u die go to flea and build 1 more
bold kernel
is there a way to see past transactions? I think I sold 2 bitcoin with a 0 too low. In other news, I think gen4 Lawrence is a market botter, he sniped those coins
wet moss
no reason, when you first start, to have a horde of guns especially with 45 dollar game
prime bone
guys just did my first scav run and got a RB-BK key on the scav is it any good

primal quarry
can anyone explain me pls a few things about lfg chat please? : 1) what does trio foxtrot mean and 2) what does " #2" from " customs run #2" mean ?
I am really puzzled by it really :))
fiery rover
trio foxtrot is the channel name
elfin tendon
Yeah I always think I suck to much to use a lot of gear and it’s just a free horde of stuff for another person to take. It’s honestly all a mental argument.
agile forge
Trio foxtrot is a voice channel
frozen jay
@prime bone check the flee market. Right click the key, filter by item
primal quarry
Thanks
agile forge
@elfin tendon what guns are you hoarding?
prime bone
ok thanks
barren meadow
Foxtrot uniform
primal quarry
and 2)?
fiery rover
numbers does nothing just that if a customs channel is full you can create a new one
frozen jay
@elfin tendon another thing, if you remove the mag and the pistol grip, the gun takes up almost half the space. I stash the pistol grip next to the now much smaller gun
fiery rover
since only 5 people can play in a team
elfin tendon
That’s actually what I do rn too
primal quarry
@fiery rover thanks a lot man
fiery rover

celest condor
mags and grips removed.
elfin tendon
Trash probably lmao. AK-74N, SVDS, a Hunter, a 74M, 2 VEPR AKMs, a VPO-209 that seems pretty good and I’m waiting to use it at some point when I feel better with the game. And also like 6-7 pistols
4 pistols*
fiery rover
arcdic easy rule: sell every gun you don't use in the next 5 raids
if you die all 5 raids you have money from the sold guns to get new guns otherwise you will get more guns
sonic lake
VPO 209 is trash
celest condor
VPO-209 is garbage. If it looks good then move attachments to the VPO-136 (VEPR AKM)
elfin tendon
Okay I swapped over a ton of parts from the 209 to the 136
Also another question I have is that is the Lucky Scav box barter items only?
cunning narwhal
any sherpas for a bit of help? :)
elfin tendon
I don’t survive and get enough of those items enough to feel like to warrant that buy lol but then again I’ve literally only played factory except for a few times lol

sherpa is actually a term for the dudes that guide people through the himalayans but ok
elfin tendon
My biggest con with raids is just basically being lost and not being good enough survive and I die after a while. I wish some of my friends with PCs had this game but I’m just gonna have to suck it up and learn tbh. Probably gonna boot into a customs rn
