The pain is so fucking hard, I actually had a good Scav Run and got a graphics card, a fal and what not and I extracted, then my game crashed

if you extracted you should be fine

I was excited because I never had a "good" game on Interchange
Nope
I relaunched the game
The Raid never happened
Nothing

yep, error 201 when trying to extract. Luckily I was running offline

I had a pretty good interchange run about 2 hours ago, until I got lit up by some scavs and a player right before extract

the only thing that makes me feel bad is i prepared this weekend as "my" time. No GF, no chores, no work, no responsibilities. And im spending it all refreshing the game trying to get in

Well RIP, i'll play tomorrow, I don't want to cry if this happens again

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.

i've been doing customs runs ever since i installed the game but im getting really tired of the fact that you are forced into a single narrow route if you want to cross the map, what other map should i try? preferably with more freedom of movement
iron valve
brutal as in?
rich cloak
brutal as in hatchlings have fun and anyone trying to play the game having a bad time
iron valve
how exactly do they ruin the fun
tulip orbit
how do i invide someone to a duo
rich cloak
because about 50 percent of people in a reserve raid are hatchlings
iron valve
can't you just gun them down?
turbid bear
So u telling me I can bring my AK with BP ammo then? xD
iron valve
and that leaves you with less players to worry about, win-win
rich cloak
no
absolutely not
i cant loot the hatchling
i want to either be alone and get the good loot
or fight pmcs and get their loot
jolly sluice
Reserve is the favorite of both the extreme rat and the extreme chad 😄
rich cloak
both of these cases are not happening iwth hatchlings
turbid bear
I can already imagine the pain knowing that some hatchling found a gun and just shot you with your thicc gear
rich cloak
thats not the issue

not anyworse than a pscav...no risk there

the problem is people rushing gpu spawns and marked room and shoving everything in their gapin asshole

don't you have to have workshop level 1 to mod a gun at all?
turbid bear
Can they actually just disconnect and still have the stuff saved thats in their gamma?
turbid bear
Oh thatswhy its so fekin cheeki
rich cloak
at this point i wouldnt even mind if they removed them
turbid bear
By the point ur at the spots to loot everything is already shoved into hatchlings gammas
rich cloak
would make the game litteraly better
jolly sluice
I've been playing for two months and I don't even loot anymore. I could care less about hatchlings to be honest

plus the big difference is i just dont want to go in as a scav and be full rat

Makes it less likely to run into anyone, and it's not like it takes long to literally run across the map in a straight line
But hell, what do I know, I just make 300k+ per scav run
So if you're happy with half of that, then do your thing
formal wagon
i like customs cause better chance to be a third party in fights
you play shoreline for pure $$ and no seeing anybody i play for $ and chance to fight and get way betetr gear
but to each there own
exotic zodiac
uhh 9min IC queue so far? did i pick a shit server?
formal wagon
guess safer wise it is better money but if you can get a lucky kill on a player you can def make a lot of money in customs
@exotic zodiac serves are shite atm
exotic zodiac
@formal wagon if you get a lucky kill on any PMC on any map you can make money
trim herald
@formal wagon Not reliable, so over time you're still making more cash on Shoreline
Or IC
That's like saying "You can spawn with the red keycard"
formal wagon
ill agree with that customs is def not reliable
trim herald
I mean yes, but that doesn't make that map better
formal wagon
but i think its more fun with how close the fights are
celest condor
Or along water, or the power station, or sometimes the weather station. Pier is good for finding people too....
formal wagon
no ill agree with you shoreline is safer so in a way, way more more reliable to make money
if you just want to extract after looting somethings without no interactions with pmc's shoreline is the way

noob here - kind of lost at what to sell and what to keep. my stash is almost full, but i never know what random stuff, pc parts, electronic components, soap, etc. to sell since the hideout upgrades need random parts later on. how do i know what to sell and what to keep?

no you lose everything yo bring into a raid.
sonic lake
if the guy doesnt loot you
celest condor
UNLESS it is insured and nobody else left the raid with it.
sonic lake
you get your insured gear back
celest condor
Even if they take it, they need to get out of the raid with it for you to lose it

@obsidian fractal i do cache runs to make my money
celest condor
there are fairly safe loot runs you can do to make money. Scav raids are raids with nothing to lose, everything to gain.

Use scav to get gear and a bit of loot
Use that kit to practice offline til scav is ready again

@ebon pier if your scav dies do hatchet runs, nothing else you can do at that point

wait scav is alot more fun

Im here to play the game not run around with a hatchet all game sorry...
thats why I dont do hatchet runs

@ebon pier @bold kernel Jump into Sherpa waiting room

if i hatchet run, my first goal is to kill a scav with it, take his kit and play as a scav pretty much, when you get used to it killing a single scav with a hatchet isnt all that hard

I'm not on my PC right now but I'll be on some more tomorrow

@bold kernel I can show you a really simple loot run in interchange and show you how to make it more interesting/dangerous/profitable as well

does the scav wait time increase everytime you die?
bold kernel
No
steady pewter
Sorry its a AKM VPO-209, does anyone know if a trader sells a mag for that that isnt 10 round?
timber dock
Newp, it's a set timer that starts at the end of your last Scav raid (or when you start you game occasionally).
bold kernel
@steady pewter Don't use that gun
timber dock
Timer can be lowered with the Intelligence Center upgrade in the hideout as well

Why?
