[digital fog]

I do know the basics of gun shooting, inventory, healing, I also play with maps on my other monitor

[bold kernel]

so asking for do i have collected too much of something isnt a beginners channel question anymore? @steady pilot

[steady pilot]

You can look up pestily or deadlyslob beginner guides @digital fog

[steady pewter]

Also, my stash worth went up 1 mill off that kill hahaha

[steady pilot]

This game is 90% knowledge and map knowledge

[spare robin]

Just takes some time, but yeah its not awful depending on how successful your runs are

[digital fog]

is there a lfg here?

#pvp-lfg

nvm tfound it

[spare robin]

yes

[bold kernel]

i lack knowledge with my scav boxes contents

Escape from Tarkov Wiki

Quests

Quests, both player-given and dynamically generated, are intended to be a big part of Escape from Tarkov.
There are many quests in Escape from Tarkov. Some require you to pick stuff up for certain traders, while others require you to kill other operators or mark vehicles and specific places.
Quests are the fastest way of gaining XP in Escape from Tarkov. Completing one will often reward you with thousands, if not tens of thousands of XP points.
On top of the experience, quests reward you with:

Trader Reputation. By gaining trader reputation you unlock new trader loyalty levels. Each time you unlock a new loyalty level you will be able to purchase a large number of new items from that trader.
Quest locked items. Some items can only be purchased from a trader after you complete their relevant quest.

Hideout

Hideout is a location in Escape from Tarkov.

[steady pilot]

@bold kernel there are charts of stuff you need there.

[bold kernel]

it would take me 60minutes to check all itams, boss.

how much do u estimate that it would take time

i must go rat

[potent mango]

anyone have a good map to start on?

[spare robin]

Well you can either sell it, or hold and go for quests and hideout upgrades

[bold kernel]

😄

[steady pilot]

Did you even look

[spare robin]

void I reccomend customs, but it depends what youre looking for

[bold kernel]

oh this list is better than the last one somone showed me

sry boss

[steady pilot]

[bold kernel]

[spare robin]

reserve has arguably the best loot but also higher competition due to the loot opportunities. Interchange can be very confusing for beginners, but also has good loot

[steady pewter]

damn it gets so much cheaper with EOD lmao

[bold kernel]

Reserve filled those 2 scav boxes btw

[steady pilot]

? @steady pewter

[steady pewter]

The money tab of that

[bold kernel]

best and easiest place to rat is reserve so far

its so easy just to run from building to another

[steady pilot]

Reserve isnt easy to rat

[wooden basin]

Reserve is a nice map to find some of those items

[bold kernel]

then i am pro rat

[steady pilot]

That's shorline

[wooden basin]

nah

Reserve is easy to rat lmao

[bold kernel]

yea

[wooden basin]

everytime i think of that video i laugh

[bold kernel]

we are sniveling rats

[wooden basin]

"You only see the trails that show a rat was here"

[steady pilot]

Yes let's recommend reserve to new players

That's like telling them to go to factory

[spare robin]

that was my mindset

[wooden basin]

literally me almost every reserve raid

[bold kernel]

"You only see the trails that show a rat was here"
@wooden basin hahah exactly

[spare robin]

Its good once you have a grip on the game

[bold kernel]

yes

ive been doing rat life now for days

[steady pilot]

Show me your rat stats

[slim quest]

Idk why people recommend most the maps they do for noobs

[steady pilot]

How much of a rat are you

[bold kernel]

how do i show rat stats

[steady pilot]

Here are my rat stats

[bold kernel]

what is rat in that

R?

R for rat?

[slim quest]

Shore is for the bad pvp, customs officials you can handle yourself and want quests, and interchange to try and profit if you can handle encounters

[wooden basin]

aint finished gearing

[wooden basin]

bout to head into a reserve rat raid

[spare robin]

damn y'all got some hours on me haha

[bold kernel]

what does tell about my rattinks in that?

[trim herald]

@wooden basin 737 raids

Holy fuck

[steady pilot]

My kda and sr is the true rat stat

Not dying is the true rat way

[bold kernel]

i tend to do rat pvp

[wooden basin]

I never had anyone to help me with this game

[bold kernel]

i shoot heads from behind

[wooden basin]

Had to pretty much learn it all myself

[steady pilot]

Me too

8 wipes ago there was no discord

[wooden basin]

I have a few real ones @cold moss <-- like dah boi

he's 100% chad doe

[steady pilot]

I had wiki and interchange

[bold kernel]

but sometimes people kill me so hard i die

[wooden basin]

idk interchange lol

[trim herald]

I just run at people

Because I get bored

[slim quest]

@steady pilot I had a friend get the game

[wooden basin]

map too complicated and when you have this much keys and no one to help ya learn map well

[slim quest]

Guess what map he ran

[steady pilot]

Interchange is so basic

And filled with loot

And dumb dumb pmcs that are also free loot

[wooden basin]

How to tell a rat apart from a chad

[timber dock]

Don't call me dumb!

[steady pilot]

I don't use any keys or loot that much

[wooden basin]

buy keys

bruh

[steady pilot]

I take the stuff from my dead enemies

[wooden basin]

nahh brehh

[bold kernel]

lol

[slim quest]

What is it about factory that attracts new players

[wooden basin]

As the famous rat said

Steal from the wealthy and kill the poor

not my words

[bold kernel]

when do we go rat together guys

[spare robin]

See the thing is, you can argue playstyles all you want, but something different works for everyone lol

[wooden basin]

nah aint no arguments here im having a good laugh lol

but if you trying make $$ buy keys

[spare robin]

also @slim quest sometimes the fact that it says "difficulty hard" instead of insane

[bold kernel]

everyone should only take makarov pistols and exit decked af

[spare robin]

a friend of mine thought that lol

[steady pilot]

I dont recommend buying keys just to make money...

[slim quest]

Probably what’s happening

[spare robin]

Im like there is no difficulty. theyre all impossible

[wooden basin]

holy

my survivor class changed!

i used to be a marauder

more loot xp than kill xp

[steady pilot]

You can loot caches on shorline or interchange for easy 200-500k + , or go inside interchange and literally stuff 2 GPU's up your ass for 600k.

[wooden basin]

same can be said reserve computer room

[steady pilot]

No keys required. Takes 5mins at interchange

[wooden basin]

i've found two gpus and two tetris'

one run

[steady pilot]

Okay but reserve isnt noob friendly

[wooden basin]

and icing the cake

[steady pilot]

Lol

[wooden basin]

i killed someone with a decked fal and a reap-ir

i was like holdup

[bold kernel]

u can kill 49 lvl pmc's as a rat in reserve

[wooden basin]

^^

[bold kernel]

and loot their weapon cases

[wooden basin]

holdon

[spare robin]

delta are caches on interchange better than customs? Cuz customs cache's dont make me nearly that kind of bank

[timber dock]

Petition to change the "Marauder" class name to "Rat" and "Neutralizer" to "Chad".

[steady pilot]

Obviously reserve is nice, but its trash without having red rebel and paracord

@spare robin @trim herald tell him

[bold kernel]

why do i keep saying mpc instead of pmc

[wooden basin]

he was running m80

[steady pilot]

And

[wooden basin]

i mean if you're gunna modify a gun that much my key advice is not to cheap out on ammo

[timber dock]

@bold kernel Media Player Classic? 😛

[steady pilot]

M80 is good

[trim herald]

@spare robin Have you heard about this place called Shoreline?

[wooden basin]

i meann you right you right but

[spare robin]

Yes lol

[wooden basin]

look at that gun lol

[trim herald]

Some fantastic real estate values right now!

[bold kernel]

@bold kernel Media Player Classic? 😛
@timber dock lol yeah mpc

[trim herald]

And 37 caches

[steady pilot]

M80 is very reliable and relevant....

[slim quest]

If you can’t shoot shit

[trim herald]

https://imgur.com/gallery/u861meP

[slim quest]

Go run shore peeps

The caches are great

[spare robin]

oh, i see, theres just like... 1000x more on the other maps

[bold kernel]

really

[wooden basin]

if i had someone to run shoreline with and is willing to show me the ropes well heck

[slim quest]

They fund my noob ass

[wooden basin]

i'd run that daily

[steady pilot]

I still have no issues 1 or 2 tapping most pmcs with m80. It's still the best overall round

[wooden basin]

i have pretty much every single shoreline key

[bold kernel]

what items do caches hide within themselves

[slim quest]

I mean

If you can run interchange or reserve well you may not need it

But I suck

[trim herald]

@spare robin Also it's a much larger map, and most people will be nowhere close to the caches as it's so far away from the main loot center

Lately i've been learning labs so

[steady pilot]

@bold kernel

[wooden basin]

solo labs hasn't been sht to me actually found a ledx in green room

felt nice

[bold kernel]

dont be angry i like to get social same time when i ask things

its more fun that way

[spare robin]

got it, so loot shoreline constantly, okay lol

[wooden basin]

noooe noee

[steady pilot]

There is too much to cover so

[wooden basin]

hatchet run reserve and pray

[steady pilot]

[wooden basin]

atleast 35% of my dogtags are hatchet runners i killed

[spare robin]

I aint no hatchet boi

get out of here

[slim quest]

Don’t hatchet run lol

[bold kernel]

but u are so nice that u paste me the urls everytime

[wooden basin]

cost effective hatchet running is nice

[slim quest]

What’s the point lol

[wooden basin]

but i dont do it :3

i pistol run when i feel bored

[iron valve]

bruh i just had some sort of an US style bolt action rifle with a variable zoom optic as a scav, fired 3 shots at a guy who was 10m away from me, and they all missed, how the fuck does that happen?

[wooden basin]

other than that ak is a must

imma actually go do a hatchet run with 1 ifak and berkut and lets see how it turns out

brb

[steady pilot]

Theres nothing fun than getting false info from people in this chat who pitch in when they have no clue what they are talking about, so I give wiki as the most trustful resource.

[bold kernel]

allright

[restive mica]

im new to tarkov and i know basically nothing but im amazing at all shooters and dont loose gunfights please someone teach me

[wooden basin]

Eh @steady pilot whose dah you referring to?

[slim quest]

Guys it’s easy, google “tarkov [item name] wiki”

[steady pilot]

Many people

[trim herald]

Imagine reading the wiki though

[slim quest]

Boom instant what you need

[steady pilot]

I don't need to point fingers

[wooden basin]

Ah thought it was me but

Pretty sure it was me

[steady pilot]

Negative

[timber dock]

@waxen forge we need your copy-pasta.

[wooden basin]

I dont hatchet run honestly however as for someone whose learning a map

i dont go against it, even a pistol is fine

[steady pilot]

Imagine using pistol when veprkm exists

[wooden basin]

but imma go hatchet run reserve and post mah death or results after :3

[steady pilot]

[wooden basin]

nah

never me and that gun again

[slim quest]

@wooden basin TBH just offline to learn maps

[spare robin]

or scav them lol

[slim quest]

It’s free

[wooden basin]

@slim quest i like hands on approach so

[bold kernel]

@steady pilot you are so nice guy, maybe u could join my match and kill everyone that i point at so i can loot them while u cover me and we exit? 🙂

[steady pilot]

Literally more reliable than a pistol

[wooden basin]

i remember spawning in scav with a vepr km 73 round drum

[timber dock]

@restive 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.

[wooden basin]

Very

[bold kernel]

rat time begins ->

[wooden basin]

nuh really imo

[steady pilot]

9mm doesnt do shit

[slim quest]

Good ammo, can 1-2 tap

[wooden basin]

imma be in chit chat if anyone wants to come watch my hatchet run

c;

[slim quest]

Just have to aim

[wooden basin]

#3

[steady pilot]

It literally has more accuracy and less reocil than a 9mm and the rounds actually pentrate shit.

But yeah its bad

For 13k

[slim quest]

I think we recommend it so much it went to 15k

[wooden basin]

i mean

[steady pilot]

Probably

[wooden basin]

i zero'd a atlyn on a raider with 6.3

that was when 6.3 was 400 roubles

[steady pilot]

Ssiiiiggghhhh

[wooden basin]

idk wtf happened to the eco

[barren dome]

anybody down to show me some money runs?

[slim quest]

I think you miss the point

[barren dome]

tryan recoup this 8 million i lost yesteraday

[wooden basin]

eh dfost run reserve

[bold kernel]

how much is mayo worth ?

[spare robin]

from what ive been told by delta and rommel, shoreline cache runs dfost

[slim quest]

Or interchange if you can handle it

[barren dome]

only map i know is interhcange

[slim quest]

Plenty of money there

[timber dock]

Man, I'm so rich right now. Someone bought my weapons case that I had accidentally put up for 9 million yesterday.

[steady pilot]

So you used a round that still has less pen than 762 ps and dumped literally 70k in rounds vs doing near same effectiveness with a 20k rifle and 2k in rounds.

If you want to compare best bullets

762 bp actually drops lvl 5 players np

While 6.3 struggles

While you magdump 6.3 I could do it in 1-3 shots

[trim herald]

BuT 6.3 mElTs ArMoUr

[steady pilot]

[trim herald]

[steady pilot]

I like that emote

Might steal

[trim herald]

[steady pilot]

[spare robin]

[slim quest]

I’m a fan of all of these

[warped halo]

price check on sv98?

[trim herald]

28k

Ish

[warped halo]

thanks

[steady pilot]

Like 22-28k

Depending

Chesper and better than a mosin

[slim quest]

So sell my looted mosins for those

[steady pilot]

Sv98

• cost 25k
  -40 ergo
  -140 recoil
  -has mags
  -rail ready to mount optics
  -suppressor is 25k

Mosin
-30k
-5 ergo
-180 recoil
-suppressor cost 40k
-need kochetov mounting
-internal mag with only 5 rounds and loses a round everytime you press R

[spare robin]

I prefer the mosin 🤷

[steady pewter]

Why does 9 mm suck but vss is good? Actual question not trying to troll or anything

[steady pilot]

Cause 9x19 vs 9x39

That's twice the shell size

[steady pewter]

ah okay

idk anything about guns sorry

[steady pilot]

You're good

Its shooting a fat 9mm

With much more powder

[slim quest]

I sold the only vss I got tbh

Parts wise it was like 200-300k or something stupid

[steady pewter]

oh is that like the difference between .50 ae and like 50 bmg?

[iron valve]

mhm

[trim herald]

@steady pewter Somewhat

[steady pewter]

ik i just said idk anything about guns but I remember that specific example lmao

[iron valve]

one is a pistol cartridge and the other is a rifle one, same story here pretty much

[trim herald]

It's like 7.62x25, 7.62x39, 7.62x51 and 7.62x54R all being different 7.62 rounds that are currently in the game, and yet very different

[steady pewter]

Okie

[grave marsh]

and then you have subtypes of all of those calibers too

[steady pilot]

The black tip in middle is 9x39

[trim herald]

Where's my .50 BMG Delta

[iron valve]

where's my .950 JDJ

perfect for concealed carry and self defense

[steady pilot]

Imagine using .50 bmg

Over 12.7x108mm

[trim herald]

Dude, fucking trader has been refreshed for less than a minute, and the muzzles are sold out

😄

[spare robin]

welcome to flea market upselling lol

[trim herald]

It's botting or scripting though bud

[steady pilot]

50k+ for 6inch guides

Btw

[dire gorge]

Sv98 is kinda cool

[spare robin]

still upselling

[dire gorge]

Ive been trying all the wrong weapons

[trim herald]

I don't mind upselling, when it's done by humans

Not by bots for rmt purposes

Yeah Delta

It's fucking disgusting

[spare robin]

No of course not, but what can we do about it lol

[trim herald]

Complain about it and hopefully BSG unfucks the Flea or the traders

[steady pilot]

That's why

I just buy vss

No modding needed

[trim herald]

I want to use different guns though

😦

TX is fun

[steady pilot]

You can get all that np

[trim herald]

Ewww

[steady pilot]

[trim herald]

[steady pilot]

There you go rommel

[trim herald]

P E R F E C T I O N

[steady pilot]

Fuck modding

[slim quest]

Lol base guns?

[trim herald]

FuCk MoDdInG

[steady pilot]

Alright time to drive home

[trim herald]

Imagine going home from work

[slim quest]

I used to be able to work from home

Then they got mad

So now I have to drive home, pleb life

Also Rommel

You really like scopes don’t you

[trim herald]

Only one scope on that rifle!

[slim quest]

Lol what the fuck is the rest

Scopes have magnification

daddy @steady pilot

can u teach me

how to snipe

Why is old gas station question marks?

[trim herald]

It's not always an extract

[split vapor]

cause its an optional exit

that may or not be open

[bold kernel]

So like smugglers?

[split vapor]

like all ?? exits

[timber dock]

Or buttholes.

[bold kernel]

Is it only for one group

[timber dock]

Which also may or may not be open.

[iron valve]

holy shit how come .366 is such an awful round

[split vapor]

no its for anyone that has it

[iron valve]

also i was wondering, if i'm firing a 7n1 round from a mosin obrez and from a SV98, will they both do the same damage?

[trim herald]

Yes

But the Obrez won't hit whatever you're aiming at

[rugged holly]

lol

[iron valve]

ye but im talking strictly damage

[trim herald]

The damage is based on the round, not the rifle

[iron valve]

so essentially a better gun makes bullet dispensing easier, but doesn't affect the damage itself in any way

[steady pilot]

Muzzle velocity

And accuracy

Is the difference between platforms

Not damage or pen

[iron valve]

yes that's what i mean by easier, also things like rof obviously

[bold kernel]

thank u sniper daddy @steady pilot

for your knowledgep

[timber dock]

Also, you look cooler.

[trim herald]

@iron valve Correct

At a later date muzzle velocity may have an effect on pen etc, but it's not confirmed if they will change it

[dusk token]

Whats your guys' opinion on tactec? thinking about transition from m1 but I noticed it doesnt have an armor zone for stomach

[timber dock]

Oof.. these completely silent grenades are annoying.

[trim herald]

@dusk token It's amazing

No stomach protection is whatever

[iron valve]

lmao what is that secure container omicron thing on the wiki

[bold kernel]

anyone wanna help me get one kill w a pistol

plz

If I got a loyalty level with one trader and then I do a task that lowers my rep with that trader, can I lose the loyalty level?

[daring mauve]

are pistols worth using?

@daring mauve 5-7 yes, any other no

[daring mauve]

ok thanks

[jolly rain]

That sucks, ah well.

[bold kernel]

I cant add any offers to flea market

and my offers cant be removed

all these 3 items have been sold hours ago

[sharp ether]

restart game

[bold kernel]

I did

no luck

[timber dock]

Gotta wait it out.

[bold kernel]

bugs upon bugs upon bugs upon bugs lol

[timber dock]

Side effect from the timer removal for newly posted stuff.

[hearty tide]

yeah just have to wait it out. i found it happens if the person buying your items has that item as part of a preset

it like treats you as a vendor and when that one item is sold it turns to out of stock

so it always happens with weapon parts or weapons to me

[fresh pumice]

Can someone assist this beginner to get this dang pocket watch?

[jade estuary]

Hi im new to the game and I have not much clue what im doing could anyone help?

[wet spade]

does anyone actually run shotguns only?

[spiral dirge]

No I like to be able to kill people that are wearing more than a t shirt

[white ocean]

just aim for legs with shotties

[celest condor]

@wet spade I run shotguns a lot. 8.5mm buckshot and I do better than 1:1 kills against players.

and no, I do not leg them, most of the time...

[strange thunder]

which key is it again for water room in dorms?

[celest condor]

My typical shotgun loadout.

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Operation_Aquarius_-_Part_1

[bold kernel]

Is woods full of pmc warriors?

i have a quest there and never been there

i need to kill 15 scavs do i survive

guys how to find scavs on customs?

is woods hard to navigate ?

for the first time

im afraid i will lose stuff

[celest condor]

just hug the outer wall and yo will find exits.

outskirts, wall on right, roadblock? wall on left.

[bold kernel]

hmm

im at some place near to nuclear plant looking thing

where is this

im trying to look at the map

oh yea

does factory gate exit need anything special to exit with?

lol

[celest condor]

factory gate exit needs a PMC and Scav. Pretty sure.

[bold kernel]

oh hek

i literally know nothing of this map

[sacred jewel]

is there any way to say what items crafting will use?

[bold kernel]

i spawned near factory gate

what exit should i use?

[celest condor]

outskirts

Cliff needs RR and paracord, Factory needs a scav friend.

[sacred jewel]

vehicle needs 3k roubles

[bold kernel]

omg

[celest condor]

Outskirts, just put the outer wall (not water) on your right and go.

[bold kernel]

why is outskirts red?

[celest condor]

ignore that.

[bold kernel]

u sure bro?

[celest condor]

Seems most common theiry is that someone used or is using it.

[bold kernel]

ok

[celest condor]

I am sure, exit is available.

[bold kernel]

and i need to kill scavs too omg

this will be hardcore

[celest condor]

just hug the wall.. When you pass by some rocks, scav area there, then after the large rock on your left after crossing road there is a scav checkpoint on road off to your left. finally you pass scav house on way to exit.

good luck.

[hard yew]

hey can anyone help me with my inventory i have no idea what to keep and what i should sell

[sacred jewel]

sure @hard yew if you want to go in a duo channel and show me i can help you out

or no?

[hard yew]

@sacred jewel duo room bravo

[bold kernel]

omg running out of time already

[celest condor]

yeah... Woods had a short time to begin with, and now with the reduced times it is even worse.

[bold kernel]

sheittt

killed like 10 scavs

got stuck

9 mins left and im opposite side of the map

can i run lol

[celest condor]

Doyou see the water?

[bold kernel]

no

should i go by water

risk it

[celest condor]

Hard to say fastest way without knowing your location.

[bold kernel]

near west border i think

[celest condor]

If you are truly at opposite side of map I would run at waters edge. If you are yrou exit side of the sawmill, hug the wall and run. You want outer wall on your right.

[bold kernel]

i am fukd

I SURVIVED

that exit was instant???

omg

that was thrilling

i love this game

[celest condor]

congrats

[bold kernel]

bullets flying everywhere so much blood broken leg bags full

thanks for help bro

[steady pewter]

it was like 38 with a cold as wind yeah

I was dying

What sight should I put on my adar?

[sonic lake]

depending on the map 7pm can still be light

is it a stock adar?

do you want range or cqb?

[steady pewter]

Cqb

[sonic lake]

stock adar?

[steady pewter]

I think so?

I didnt change it lmao

[sonic lake]

cobra sight is cheap

and clears the front post

[steady pewter]

Should I change something on the adar besides that?

[sonic lake]

its all up to you man

most i ever do to an adar is put a suppressor on

[steady pewter]

ooooo

Which one does it take?

[sonic lake]

all the 5.56 suppressors

my goto is the nt-4

its usually only 30k

and does the job

really no point in using anything different on an ADAR

[flat cipher]

you can just

take the front post off

[sonic lake]

you can do that too

i guess

but cobra is cheap, clears post so i dont have any issues with it

[steady pewter]

Do I need an adapter for the supressor?

[sonic lake]

kac qd compensator

this is honestly the most ill do to an adar if im not building one for looks

[flat cipher]

tx 15 looks better anyway

[bold kernel]

why does my ak feel like it still has a lot of recoil

[sonic lake]

how much does it have?

what ak is it?

[flat cipher]

beacuse u probably dont have expensive attachments and it has lots of recoil naturally?

[bold kernel]

dunno

[sonic lake]

thats a lot of recoil

[flat cipher]

thats got

[bold kernel]

do you guys use the breath button when aiming?

[flat cipher]

loads

LOL

[sonic lake]

put a buttpad on

[flat cipher]

lower the better

[celest condor]

at least add a recoil pad to that thing.

[flat cipher]

not higher

[bold kernel]

well

why does it have so much then

😄

[sonic lake]

using a suppressor

and

no buttpad

[flat cipher]

^

[bold kernel]

oh so supressors do that?

[worthy palm]

What is the shortcut to inspect?

[sonic lake]

supressors have worse recoil reduction than compensators for the AKs

[flat cipher]

middle mouse

[celest condor]

rk-1 or 2 will reduce recoil, PWS CQB muzzle brake works well for recoil.

[worthy palm]

Or examine even***

Thanks harry

[flat cipher]

can you use nvg goggles with regular optics or no

[celest condor]

yes

[flat cipher]

cause the fps on the flir scope makes me uncomfortable

[sonic lake]

yes

[steady pewter]

Doesnt really look like itll clear

[sonic lake]

nvgs are also cheaper than a FLIR kekw

it will

try it out

[steady pewter]

Alright

[flat cipher]

yeah i found the flir

just was messing around in offline

[worthy palm]

Anyone have any tips to level hide out as well? I feel like i need shooting range to become better at the game

[flat cipher]

use offline mode

instead

[steady pewter]

Why would you need shooting range?

[sonic lake]

its really just a luxury thing

[worthy palm]

To figure out what mods i like

[sonic lake]

you can literally hop into offline and do the same thing

[celest condor]

@worthy palm offline works fine as a shooting range substitute. Just takes a little longer to get in and out.

[sonic lake]

back in my day, that was the only way to test guns

[worthy palm]

[flat cipher]

just take two different guns in

[celest condor]

I still do that at times.

[flat cipher]

built differently

[bold kernel]

how do i filter out "out of stock" items from flea market

so many

hard to browse

[sonic lake]

click filters

[worthy palm]

But regardless i want my hide out leveled and i've done nothing to it since buying the game

[sonic lake]

minimum items to 1

[bold kernel]

ah ok

[worthy palm]

oooh and oil for my generator how do i get that

[sonic lake]

i didnt start leveling hideout until like level 25ish

[ionic bear]

Is it recommended to run customs at night in order to make it easier to complete prapors first quest?

[flat cipher]

no

cause then you cant see

[sonic lake]

night customs can be chill if you have NVGs

[celest condor]

buy from flea market, jaeger or find in raid for fuel. Be careful adn inspect fuel tanks on flea market to make sure you are buyinh full tanks.

[bold kernel]

lol still so much recoil on my ak

i bought recoil pad and rk-1

[worthy palm]

Do any vendors sell Leatherman multitool?

[celest condor]

@ionic bear I did a lot of my customs tasks at night. I actually really like customs at night though.

[sonic lake]

pws is best muzzle for recoil

on ak74s

[bold kernel]

but i want to use silencer

[sonic lake]

well

[bold kernel]

phewphew

[sonic lake]

crouch when shooting i guess lol

[bold kernel]

oh

crouching helps?

[sonic lake]

yep

by a lot

[bold kernel]

lol

[sonic lake]

crouch all the way

[bold kernel]

crouch like a slav?

blyat

[sonic lake]

the middle crouch positions have worse recoil than fully crouched or fully stood up

[bold kernel]

middle crouch?

what

[flat cipher]

ya

hold C and scroll

you can slowly adjust ur heigh

[bold kernel]

ohmg

did not know that either

[flat cipher]

nice for peeking really tight angles but yes

ur recoil goes WEEEEEEE

[bold kernel]

i bet i have max crouching always?

i have never adjusted it?

[ionic bear]

I was able to get a saiga real cheap off of fence, should i be running slugs or regualr shells

[sonic lake]

what map

whats your goal

[bold kernel]

what else can i do to this badboi to make it less recoilier

[ionic bear]

Or should i just go pistol only on customs to kill 5 scavs and get 2 mp133s

[split vapor]

better scope mount

better red dot

[sonic lake]

youll have an easier time killing scavs with a saiga than with a pistol

[celest condor]

better handguard and muzzle brake... But you are talking bunch of money for small increase. Better stock is probably the best move there.

[bold kernel]

scope mounts affect recoil too? geez

[sonic lake]

only a couple

uhhh

homie could get a pws and drop it a lot but he wants supressed and PBS4 is best suppressor for 5.45

oh yeah the old suppressor you had on was better

lol

[main light]

why does it feel like the a.i sees trough walls, I've died 1 to a player and mostly to a.i that I can't even see

[bold kernel]

it was better?

[sonic lake]

has 2 more recoil reduc

[bold kernel]

o

[sonic lake]

cheaper too

[bold kernel]

cool

what is good scope mount

[celest condor]

@bold kernel

[bold kernel]

cheap one that has no bad recoil

[sonic lake]

your mount is fine

honestly

[celest condor]

couple changes. Supressor and stock.

[sonic lake]

cobra sight on dovetail is 1% lower recoil

[bold kernel]

hmm

this was my budget ak

[sonic lake]

sell your p1x and you can afford it lol

[bold kernel]

now its turning into something else

[celest condor]

"budget" guns tend to do that.

one in my pic is 81K according to find parts

[sonic lake]

ehhh

[flat cipher]

interchange ig

lots of boxes

[sonic lake]

uhhh

[bold kernel]

good thing i have some rubles again

[sonic lake]

this has completely usable recoil

[worthy palm]

What do i do with fully broken rigs? is it better just to discard them?

[celest condor]

<100K fora gun is what I would still consider budget

[sonic lake]

this be my budget thicc killer

well thicc killer ak

[celest condor]

You are starting to get into the big money for small improvement area.

[sonic lake]

jesus rk1s are so expensive rn

rvg if no rk-1s

about a 70k gun

is nice

[bold kernel]

is that scope good

[sonic lake]

i like it personally

[bold kernel]

everything that you said in the sentence went over my head other then 70k gun lmao

[sonic lake]

this is my REAL budget thiccy killer

[bold kernel]

i already bought pt lock and pt3 stock

[sonic lake]

good lucc

[bold kernel]

only thing to change now is scope?

[sonic lake]

you can keep the scope

its all personal preference

cobra ekp is just 1% lower recoil reduc

but a lot of people dont like the dot options

[bold kernel]

is it okay nows

[sonic lake]

test it out

[bold kernel]

how

[steady pewter]

Wtf I jumped to 500 ping at dorms and then when Im in extract I go back down

[sonic lake]

offline

[bold kernel]

can i just suicide offline

[sonic lake]

put some bullets in it and spray at the wall

yeee

you can

[bold kernel]

no penalty ?

[sonic lake]

yep

[bold kernel]

will i even lose the bullets

[sonic lake]

nop

[bold kernel]

u sure

[sonic lake]

you lose literally nothing on offline

[bold kernel]

can i get insurance from you

[sonic lake]

si

ill pay for your whole loadout if you lose it

kekw

which you wont

[bold kernel]

u gieb me 6 jolt cola if i lose

Watch him find a way

gieb first then i go

[sonic lake]

puts loadout in stash

hey i lost my stuff

KEKW

[celest condor]

Jolt cola... Where are you finding Jolt Cola?!?!

[bold kernel]

lul

lol u dont have jolt cola in where u live?

[sonic lake]

i only drink water so idk

[bold kernel]

jolt cola sounds like coke with crack in it

[sonic lake]

coke originally had crack

[bold kernel]

jolt cola is best cola

[sonic lake]

now coke is coke

[celest condor]

not for many year. Heard Dollar General sold it so I checked one just across the border. They did not have any.

[sonic lake]

and cocaine is coke

so coke

[bold kernel]

jolt cola is back again

i think the name is volt cola now with the original recipe

[celest condor]

I live right on Canadian/American border and cross frequently...

[bold kernel]

here in finland u can buy it

[celest condor]

Finland a little far for a drink 😦

[bold kernel]

oh nvm i think they have original name again

https://www.verkkokauppa.com/fi/product/7504/jrcfd/Jolt-Cola-energiajuoma-473-ml-12-PACK

u can order it i bet

sry for offtopic but this kinda makes tarkov playing easier for beginners too

worship me

its not G btw its Z

LiZaRdo666

[sonic lake]

yes because cola makes tarkov easier

[bold kernel]

ofc

[ionic bear]

Cola makes everything easier

[bold kernel]

didnt some tarkov-kinda game have lootable jolt cola items?

warz?

gotta go back to woods it was awesome

[sonic lake]

see you in woods buddy

oops i need armor

fry you seem like a cool dude

what armor do i take

any armor

[bold kernel]

lol can guns break?

[sonic lake]

yeah

if dura gets low enough

[bold kernel]

i just repaired a gun for first time

[flat cipher]

prob lose them before that happens

[sonic lake]

m1a has seen many repairs

ive had a VSS start jamming

it was at 70 dura lmao

VSS runs through dura so fast

[flat cipher]

45 second matching time on interchange

is this a joke to you, bsg

im in the uk

[bold kernel]

is everyone here from americas?

i think like 90% of people here are

u have too many habitants

u could use some thanos

[sonic lake]

woods is pretty okay matching

labs is alright as well

reserve is v nice

i capped a level 8 on woods with 5mins left

[flat cipher]

labs is fine

[sonic lake]

homie was booking it to extract

[flat cipher]

just farm the raiders

[sonic lake]

tried to add him to say sorry and that i dropped his stuff

[bold kernel]

is 35.3/35.3 too low for 6b13 armor?

[sonic lake]

is that the ceramic class 4?

it should be okay for a couple shots

after like 1 or 2 youre down to class 3 level protection approximately

[bold kernel]

yes ceramic 4

[sonic lake]

fryyyy gimme armor to use

[viral path]

Hey all, if im looking for a newbie friendly group should i be asking here or in the group search section

[sonic lake]

you can find homies here

[bold kernel]

hmm maybe i should buy new armors

[sonic lake]

and #pvp-lfg as well

[viral path]

thanks

[sonic lake]

6b3tm works fine for class 4

has decent repair

cheap

[ionic bear]

Some dude clapped me as i spawned so no more saiga

[bold kernel]

but

[flat cipher]

this game really hates me today

[bold kernel]

i want to use rigs and separate armor

more space

[flat cipher]

every scav run ive been like 20m late

[sonic lake]

huh

ye more space ig

but its decent

[bold kernel]

what level 4 armors are good

non-rig ones

[sonic lake]

trooper is good

but v expensive

for only protecting thorax

and class 4

i think you only got 3 options for class 4 now

[bold kernel]

hmm

[sonic lake]

6b13, 6b23 mountain, and trooper

[bold kernel]

should i just use lvl 5 armor

[sonic lake]

nawww

whats your rig?

theres no reason not to use armored rigs rn

[bold kernel]

atm its commando

[sonic lake]

theyre too goood

[bold kernel]

usually blackcock

[sonic lake]

see if you can afford some decent dura m1 or m2 rig

theyre class 4 but theyre thiccc space

AVS and TV110 too

[vague mulch]

I got a m1

So I can loot on reserve then extract through sewer like the rat I am

[sonic lake]

i think this is pretty decent deal

[bold kernel]

do the sewer need backpack taken off before exit

amirite

[sonic lake]

yes

[bold kernel]

yea

[sonic lake]

tv110 has huge space on the inside and has pretty cheap repair i think

[vague mulch]

Ye

But expensive to lose tho

So I went for m1

[celest condor]

Been using the AVS a lot this wipe

[bold kernel]

wow thats a lot of space

[vague mulch]

But including repair coated me 75k?

Still alright I guess

[bold kernel]

so when armor has more armor points its better?

[sonic lake]

full dura m1s cost about the same as a tv110

yeee usually

[vague mulch]

Armour class and type also

[bold kernel]

even if its same armor class than some other armor

[sonic lake]

yes

[bold kernel]

type?

u mean clasS?

[sonic lake]

85 dura max class 4 > 40 dura max class 4

[vague mulch]

More points means the more 'hits' it can take.

[bold kernel]

oh yeah

[sonic lake]

62 dura max class 5 > 85 dura max class 4 tho

[vague mulch]

Welp, going into a raid now. Hope I don't get shot in the stomach

[sonic lake]

good lucc my friend

[vague mulch]

Thank

[bold kernel]

maybe i should start using good gear

every scav run makes 100-200k anyhow

so, would a 85k armor hurt?

would a +100k ak hurt?

[vague mulch]

Yeah, it would

If u keep dying

If u make it out all g

[bold kernel]

better armor less dyinks

how about helmets

im using level 3

[celest condor]

game is more fun if you use the toys you like. I regularly swap between guns to keep things fresh. I rarely use the same gun for more than 2-3 raids

[bold kernel]

ssh-68 got many of those

[celest condor]

mix it up and have fun.

[sonic lake]

high ric is really all you need

anyone with decent ammo will kill any fast mt

or airframe

[celest condor]

ric=recochet

[bold kernel]

oh yeah but i keep finding a lots of bs and bt ammo so im using ak's now, got many ak's to spare aswell

[vague mulch]

Makarov with mag on factory for lols

[celest condor]

ricochet....

[bold kernel]

ok so

ssh-68 be gud?

[sonic lake]

its decent

better than a kiver

[bold kernel]

high ricrec

i think people rarely shoot my head

[sonic lake]

the only logical reason to buy more expensive helmet to me is faceshield or nvg mount

[next vessel]

does the reputation in flea market increase when im selling items cheap on flea? or does it increase when i sell it to traders?

[sonic lake]

yes

[sharp yarrow]

can anyone tell me why there are out of stock listings on the flea market?

[sonic lake]

rep increases by how much money you sell

its a bug i think

[sharp yarrow]

F

[bold kernel]

what does flea rep do?

[sharp yarrow]

it annoys me so much for sights

[hushed furnace]

@sharp yarrow glitch

[bold kernel]

i got 1.6 or somethinks

[sonic lake]

flea rep lets you have more sell slots

[bold kernel]

i c

[next vessel]

so.. to increase flea rep do i need to sell stuff to players or to traders?

[sonic lake]

sell stuff to players

[next vessel]

ok

[sonic lake]

i thin every 200k or so it increases by .01

or something like that

[next vessel]

can u abuse the leveling flea rep by buying stuff from players and then selling it again?

will that work?

[sonic lake]

yeah but i dont think thats very smart

[next vessel]

whys taht

[sonic lake]

diminishing returns

no profit

no point in stonking if not making profits

[next vessel]

well im not doing it for a profit but for rep

[sonic lake]

why?

[hushed furnace]

its not worth it. you need 10.00 Just to get the first additional slot

[sonic lake]

only invest in flea rep if youre going to do big profit stonking

[celest condor]

@next vessel People do do that. They will buy out a large portion of the cheaper offerings nad then sell them back for a profit.

[next vessel]

okay

[hushed furnace]

if you don't realize that you need to spend like 200000000 roubles to get there....

[celest condor]

I tried that one day. Found a decent item I could do that to. Took all my time for the rest of that day buying up all the cheaper offerings to make sure people kept buying mine.

Could make a FORTUNE if it was automated....

[strong jolt]

this "out of stock" market bug is so ass. all 3 of my slots are taken up at this point

[sonic lake]

just spent like half a mil feeding my ammo addiction

im not happy with myself

[celest condor]

Overall it was far too much work for little gain and eventually a loss as too many people started undercutting me with larger quantites. but only undercutting by 1 ruble so I could not make money flipping those offers.

@sonic lake yeah ammo this wipe is going insane. almost reminding me of things like when automatic trader dynamic pricing was in, and when traders were removed completely.

[sonic lake]

ya see

i dont need to buy all this ammo

but then

i do anyways

[celest condor]

not even all that much ammo...

[sonic lake]

well

its my limit

i really dont need anymore

lmao

[celest condor]

I understand that. Current limit on BS is a joke.

[sonic lake]

right now im not even running through a stack of M80 a raid

[celest condor]

THERE is an ammo stockpile 🙂

it is a thing of beauty.

[sonic lake]

used to have more sp6

but it runs through so fassst

[vague mulch]

Hmm

Should I sell a mp7 I got in raid?

[sonic lake]

do you have level 4 mechanic?

[vague mulch]

Nop

Lvl1

Kek

[sonic lake]

do you wanna shell out 900rub a round @ 900 rpm?

[vague mulch]

Ops mp9 not 7

[sonic lake]

ah

well

you can use it

its fun gun

[vague mulch]

I got it in a raid so maybe I'll try it out

Aaaaaa, no stash space so trying to manage it before I go raid

[fresh pumice]

Pocketwatch, someone PLEASE help me!

[sonic lake]

do you have the key?

[fresh pumice]

yes

[sonic lake]

how are you going about getting the pocketwatch?

[celest condor]

@fresh pumice Just want someone to go in with you and watch your back?

[sonic lake]

or that tooo

lol

[fresh pumice]

Yes please!!!!

I just need a wingman

[sonic lake]

homie needs some backup

overwatcj

[fresh pumice]

@celest condor Thats all I need!
