Subjective means something which does not show the clear picture or it is just a person's outlook or expression of opinion. An objective statement is based on facts and observations. On the other hand, a subjective statement relies on assumptions, beliefs, opinions and influenced by emotions and personal feelings

@split dune 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.

@dawn raft 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.

Enter the map Shoreline and search for and kill 15 Scavs whom can be found throughout the map while using an AKM series gun (AKM, AKMN, AKMS, AKMSN).
Scavs can typically be found in the red marked areas during a raid:
celest condor
personally I think AKMN is the best of the AKM series, because you can mount PSO and MPR45+PK06 onit.
But I still say that sights are a personal preference thing, and what I like, you may not.

I rocked this bad boy, it's solid
I love the valday x1/x6 it's super clean
it's not that good of a build but I felt confident even at close range and without any lasers

For me AKMs have fairly high recoil, so I rely on muzzle brakes and stick to versions that allow better stocks to reduce recoil. And as I said about sights, I am not a valday fan.

How do PMC spawns and extract timers work in a raid? Does every PMC spawn at the beginning of a raid? Does every PMC have the same time on their extract timer (i.e. following a global timer for the raid)?
autumn pilot
the only map with the same extracts for PMCs is factory
unreal elbow
any sherpas able to help me learn some basics on a scav run sadly i lost some loot on pmc and wanna win some back brand new to game btw
fair edge
Yeah I assumed that the extract locations were different (usually they are far from where you originally spawned)
autumn pilot
Yeah
For example if you spawn west side customs, you'll have like military base road or ZB 1011 etc, if you spawn east side customs, you'll get crossroads, trailer park etc
fair edge
but I hear that maps have a maximum time for everyone to stay in, so if all PMCs spawn in the beginning, then logically all of them have the same time left to leave.
autumn pilot
Yep
fair edge
gotcha
autumn pilot
So customs has 45 minutes iirc. Everyone has to leave by that timer or gets an MIA

What do I use dog tags for?
dreamy summit
you can barter them for some stuff also for a task later
by the time you get to the task youll be able to get plenty so might as well sell when you need money
subtle zealot
I'm new so yeah xD I do need some cash flow
waxen forge
Use scav at Interchange to make $
Tech/hardware makes WAY more per slot than gear/weapons

also reserve

there is not tech/'hardware in parking
dreamy summit
Yeah but all the geared folk are gonna be at the high end stores
subtle zealot
I've found a RB-RS key, is it a one time use or can I just put it in my pouch and then do pistol runs there?
waxen forge
Once again guns/gear are not worth as much as tech/hardware
You can loot the Oli PC and hardware and get out.

Aight aight, Im curious to check it out
barren meadow
probably an extremely extremely dumb question. but when aiming down an ironsights at that W shape. do you want your target to be ABOVE the middle point or on it? i cant seem to get headshots.
visual bloom
can you put a keytool inside a docs case?

So why do I lose stam if I'm scoped in?

herben dont be a dumbass. you know that if you walked around aiming it exerts more effort than simply walking around not doing it.
fading umbra
just so i get that right. if i load my magazine with different ammo types... i load 20 bp round and then 10 BS. i will fire the bs rounds first right?

so the ones you put in last will fire first

onyx hollow
Ahhh makes sense
barren meadow
so anyone? with an ironsights are you aiming at the point, above the point? or covering your target with the point
onyx hollow
trim herald
@barren meadow Depends on the range, but at closer ranges you just line up the target with the iron sights
barren meadow
line up how
thats the question. if i have a pistol at medium range im trying to get a headshot
ebon pier
what is the keybind for changing range on scopes?
native vessel
ebon pier
thanks
trim herald
@barren meadow You'll have a bad time at medium range with any pistol but the 5-7 anyway
barren meadow
sigh that's not an answer but thanks for the advice.

Is there a search function for the stash? One that shows me if I have an item in equipment as well

I feel that if you can't afford a really good helmet, then I shouldn't run a helmet at all. Why waste money on a helmet that will never ricochet and I just get shot in the head and die anyway? Can someone let me know if this is stupid or makes sense. Idk I heard summit talking about it as well
trim herald
iron valve
how do i put a sight on a vepr, what mount do i need?
trim herald
@barren meadow And it is an answer, just not the one you wanted
waxen forge
@slow basin A helmet (even a good) one is probably going to fail you anyway
trim herald
You're not hitting shit at longer ranges with any pistol but the 5-7
barren meadow
@trim herald this is accurate to how it is in tarkov?
trim herald
Yes
waxen forge
@iron valve 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.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_nALpGSNeLA Good overview of EDIT PRESET. Skip to 5:02.
slow basin
So should I stop wasting money on class 3 helmets when I get shot in the head and die anyways
just rock no helmet?
barren meadow
@trim herald it doesnt help me figure out how my shots are missing when i ask a specific question about how ironsights are implemented and your answer is "ummm dont shoot people at anything except gun-in-their-mouth range"
split vapor
helmets are a scam
frigid fog
Unless they are like class 5/6
slow basin
Okay thank u everyone
iron valve
ok but when i look at the "mount" section menu its empty
waxen forge
@iron valve Edit preset will show you the weapon with drop down boxes. IF you take the time to examine every weapon and weapon part in Flea then those drop down boxes will populate with every part that will fit on the weapon. For the AKM you will need either the tactica tula rearsight adapter for red dots...Or a dust cover like the Bastion.
trim herald
@barren meadow Also do you even know how to use quotation marks? As that's quite blatantly not what I said

@iron valve Toss up a tarkov stream on 2nd monitor of phone...examine while it plays
You get XP for examining anyway
iron valve
its the fact that you have to do it to every single part that's just incredibly stupid to me
it makes sense in a match, but not in the shop
barren meadow
rommel don't get sensitive. i appreciate the help you're giving but your first answer was a blow-off. i am trying to understand how to use ironsights better because i am missing headshots on scavs which should be easy shots.
im not trying to pistol snipe people
its a range that should be a reasonable shot
thats all.
steady pilot
celest condor
@barren meadow practice shooting range, if no shooting range, practice offline.
Best way to figure out aim point and weapon handling.
celest condor
for weapon testing like you are talking about, go with no AI. Just shoot walls and see impact point vs aim point.
Get a handle on that first, then go after AI and offline/online...
copper snow
anybody teaching reserve? i'm late to this patch lol

Better plan, no pistol. 🙂

in CS there is lots of "bullet hits wall client side but not necessarily where the server registered it" is that not the case with tarkov

I sent it to edit suggestions on the eft wiki discord. I don't wanna mess with that stuff
steady pilot
Good boy.
vale arrow
PETPET
digital wing
Looks like the pp is only like 2k more for better accuracy and recoil, but kedr has higher RPM. Sounds like a personal preference decision, maybe Kedr does better in CQC though because of the RPM.
trim herald
@barren meadow Did you see the picture I linked though?
If you're using any pistol but the 5-7, at 25m AT BEST the hit box is the same size as the head. So unless you're aiming dead center by the pixel, you have a chance of missing just by the deviation
slow basin
If I'm using a budget AK should I be using single fire mode most of the time?
trim herald
I don't
celest condor
@slow basin depends on your AK I guess 🙂
Your budget AK may have a much higher recoil than my "budget" AK.
but hell, even with my monster guns I am on semi most of the time.
digital wing
I'm a vepr boi, so single fire only for me. can run for less than 35k by using a micro rig, can add armor and helmet if I want and didn't use all my money on pimping out the hideout

slim quest
From my experience it’s in use
I’ve got an insured gun in my stash for about a week or two now
sacred jewel
i wonder if when the server crashed in raid the other day it took the insurance off because of how they reset the character?
slim quest
If they rolled it back to before your raid when you insured it’s possible
sacred jewel
its been insured for a couple weeks, then all the sudden it wasnt
sacred jewel
yeah, i was in raid, got to exfil, game hung at load screen then said cannot load profile, after about 20 minutes i said leave raid, booted back in and had all the stuff i had when i started but nothing from raid
slim quest
Ok then most likely
sacred jewel
didnt notice that the insurance was gone until after

How they refund the items is what took the insurance
