I just bought the KATT melee weapon. Do I keep it upon death, because I can't pick it up from other people when I kill them
formal wagon
apperently the way to go is buying the shotguns
i bought 20 for like 200k
and sold them on the flea market and made back 180k
so only 20k loss

unkempt turtle
Ok cool, thank you 🙂
vital briar
do you lose your alpha container
formal wagon
no
that is where you put important shit you dont want to lose
anything there stays after your death
wispy finch
is there some desync going on with as val/vss?
ive been killed like 5 times already while i was obviously in cover a few sec after someone sprayed me with them
vital briar
whats the best map for beginners?
summer sparrow
customs has the early quests. thats what I generally recommend. can be pretty brutal though
pastel trail
Any bit reserve or factory just try to get someone to show you
vital briar
im just scared to lose anything i started off with i understand a gun and a backpack but anything else i should bring?
steady pilot
Rifle rounds are 700-900
summer sparrow
meds
really, run what your comfortable with
you can play offline as well, to learn the map if you want
but gear is not really a big deal, your going to lose it, its better to use it then lose it. as oppose to it just sitting in your stash
are you on NA servers frank?
formal wagon
@vital briar your biggest challenge you are going to face is losing the gear fear thinking
summer sparrow
Ill run you through customs if youd like
formal wagon
you are gonna learn that yes you will lose gear time to time but there is many ways to make money that you shouldnt worry

I have a labs access key (single use). What is a realistic price to sell it for on the flea market? I've seen them on the flea for 1m rupess.
formal wagon
not anymore
sonic lake
sell for 180k rubles
sonic lake
i see a shit ton of 180k offers
summer sparrow
yea, anywhere between 180k-200k works, depending on how quick you want to sell it
gleaming patio
Putting it on the market is going to cost me most of my money and basically the turn around isn't worth it. I'll go broke.
willow meadow
anyone wanna help me get jaegers letter on woods? that map is pure death for me
sonic lake
as long as you arent selling for 1mil
rich cloak
You allways want to sell it
sonic lake
if you got big balls run the map lmao
rich cloak
@willow meadow in general im opposed to hatchet running but this is the one time where I would reccomend it
formal wagon
@steady pilot just bought like 900k worth of shotguns from jeagar lmao
rich cloak
Why tho
formal wagon
and sold them for like 850k
willow meadow
@rich cloak Ya I've resorted to that but I still get bopped lol

you have something else hovered

check you have the key hovered
sometimes it has another item clicked on it instead of the key

Nvm, I am a retard and it just sold as soon as I put it on the flea market.
ripe perch
rb-gn key any good?
ripe perch
got it on a scav run lol
formal wagon
cheapest one atm is 750k and then goes up to 775
so maybe put it to 775 more
that cheap one is bound to be bought soon
ripe perch
so keep it or sell it?
formal wagon
thats all up to you
ripe perch
ok
formal wagon
do you think you will be using it
ripe perch
possibly
formal wagon
is that in a map you run etc etc
like i have expensive customs keys cause i run customs
but two days ago my scav spawned with a kiba key
ez 1.2 mill
clear vortex
how do I get the red rebel pick
formal wagon
you buy it
clear vortex
from flea?
formal wagon
so you can either buy it in flea
or test your luck in woods
the scav boss has a chance to have one
and if you kill him and take his key his box has a chance to have one
timber dock
There's also a barter for it.
errant coyote
im pretty new to the game, around level 8. I've mainly been playing factory and customs but ive been wanting to start learning a new map, any suggestions?
timber dock
@errant coyote Interchange for the monies.
errant coyote
is there just lots of loot? or lots of scavss?
formal wagon
reserve makes a lot of money
errant coyote
reserve scary tho
timber dock
@formal wagon I wouldn't recommend reserve for a newbie.. specially due to the extracts.
errant coyote
i was wanting to learn reserve but i couldnt fiind a good map
what keys should i get for customs?
i have a few but i dont think they are good

@errant coyote if u wanna make money run the interchange stashes
rich cloak
@simple steeple rough guess it about 200k
errant coyote
is there a map that has those?
formal wagon
@errant coyote
rich cloak
Depends on what parts are damaged
wet moss
i linked the wiki
formal wagon
thats where the stashes are
errant coyote
oh thanks
wet moss
its the last picture on the wiki
simple steeple
Just the helm is damaged, the other parts are full hp @rich cloak
formal wagon
those building have good lllot too
formal wagon
most bottom left building has a locker that spawns factory exit key
rich cloak
@simple steeple yeah that's about 200k I think. Roughly 130 for the helmet. 25 for chops
formal wagon
you can sell for 200k or use it in map
half breach
my friend and i are lvl 4 and lvl9. looking for someone to help us out with a little more experience than us

and not do it slow too
i noticed i died more taking it slow then when i ran to areas
errant coyote
what ammo is that?
formal wagon
9x19
rich cloak
No you don't want to fight anyways
formal wagon
ssh is always worth in my opinion
rich cloak
Get a Gssh instead
errant coyote
ya, not sure if i have the money for it anyways
rich cloak
Meh
rich cloak
I kbow that it's a good helmet
formal wagon
and only 15k
errant coyote
if you get shot in the face helmet doesnt block it right?
sly warren
How does Pen interact with number of shots to kill a lvl 5 Body armor? Assuming 5.45x39 mm PP 46Dmg 30 Pen, this graph shows "LOW" Penetration. I assume that means I have to hit him enough times to reduce the quality to zero before I do dmg?
rich cloak
The higher the durability of armor the better it protects
It all comes down to chance at what point you will pen
If you look up NoFoodAfterMidnights ammo chart
vale arrow
just killed a level 31 guy that 5 mags of us ammo in his rig i dont know what to say
rich cloak
You can see a nice representation of ammo penetration chances at certain durability points
rich cloak
If you go to the second spreadsheet you can see the chance calculations
timber dock
!ammo
faint dove
nah it lists damage, frag rates, damage to what armor they have
rich cloak
What's not to understand about that?
rich cloak
You don't have the penetration tables on the wiki afaik
timber dock
It's pretty clear, 'how to read', colors, numbers.. what's not to like.
formal wagon
sorry for blur
rich cloak
And fuck me the formating is bad on the wiki
formal wagon
and thats what people need to start
you show them that chart and they aint gonna look at it
but this simplified one is easy
rich cloak
That's their fucking issue then
formal wagon
you cant tell them hey learn this graph or else
timber dock
Why would you learn it?
You have it right there.
Just look at it when you're picking ammo?
I wouldn't advocate learning it by heart initially.
But eventually you'll remember the 'good' ammo. 😛
Although there will be a pop quiz on it.
formal wagon
what im saying is they will open that chart and be overwhelmed
formal wagon
yes they will need to use that later on but to start give them a simplified chart
timber dock
I think you're underestimating people.
formal wagon
from questions i hear in this chat idk
simple steeple
should I keep the akms or sell to vendor?
formal wagon
idk its color coordinated if the ammo is green shit is good for any armor but not much flesh damage to one shot thorax
shits blue you are poppin
errant coyote
do all you more advanced players still use maps for bigger maps like customs or do you remember the names and spots of all the extracts?
timber dock
@errant coyote You kind of memorize the extracts over time.

i was just one tapped in throax wearing killa armor by either a scav or boss guard or boss raid on customs.. Is killa armor not protecting whole chest area and is there a chance that theres a gap that you can make a clear shot in unprotected chest area? or scav raiders/boss guards and bosses have increased damage?
it was Adar that killed me
also I was already pretty beaten up [200 hp] but my thorax had full hp
I feel like I've asked this question before
formal wagon
there are bullets that do 80+damage to flesh and pierce high armor
next vessel
yeah but m855a1 isnt one of them
formal wagon
one of those might have hit you and killed you
timber dock
Did we drop a bunch of US servers again or something? 15 minute matchmaking for Factory seems excessive.
next vessel
unless I was hit by two scavs at the same time
formal wagon
how do you know he was using m855a1?
next vessel
he killed me using adar
next vessel
im assuming thats the only bullet that could go right through class 5 armor
[m995] also
steady pilot
Scav adar spawn with m855
steady pilot
And they probably shot your legs or arms
timber dock
As I understand it there's a chance, if your armor had low durability, that it doesn't do jack shit.
steady pilot
With 200 hp remaining that's like 3 or 4 bullet
next vessel
it wasnt shot in the legs, I was shot once in the thorax at least thats what the death screen showed me
timber dock
hawky, that may just have been the final bullet
next vessel
but couldnt he killed me using adar
timber dock
If you had blacked out limbs any damage to those would've spread around.
next vessel
I am thinking.. maybe 200 hp was the reason why I killed so easily
but my thorax and head was full
timber dock
If you had only 200 HP I'm guessing you did have some blacked out limbs?
next vessel
right arm and elft arm
timber dock
So arm hits would've brought you thorax and head health down as well
next vessel
legs were above zero around half hp
timber dock
then a final hit to the chest
coarse shuttle
LFG shoreline run, i got the keys
next vessel
could the m855 spread the damage to arms even tho it was shot to the thorax

Couldn't you also technically get shot in the arm and have the bullet continue to hit your thorax or whatnot?

You could and should still continuing doing that to make some more money, you could always buy items that you need. Liquidifying most of your stuff meaning you have more capitals to buy whatever you need at any given moment ,more opportunities to make profit on Flea Market.

I'm a pretty new player. Been doing money runs on reserve for a bit, after having learned customs and interchange pretty well. wanting to try and do geared runs more, specifically on reserve. I have 9.2mil in cash plus some cases and armor and guns. is it worth it for me to buy a red rebel at this point, or should I save up more first?
dull depot
Definitely worth for red rebel if you play alot of reserve. Especially if you already have a sicc case or other common investments
dull depot
I dont play that much reserve but its absurdly lucrative. If you think you can make your money back with it quickly, then hell yeah red rebel
But sicc case is universal between maps

sicc is just a bigger doc case

- you can put dogtags, bitcoins, gpcoins, flash drives, few streamer items in there. And its got 9 more slots iirc

sicc is bigger, but docs case also holds coins and flash drives, at least according to the wiki
dull depot
oh cool, i thought that might have been the case with the coins but didnt know the flash drives. +1 red rebel lol
wise walrus
anybody chill want to play, im new, kinda just know customs map, willing to play others tho. dm me
scenic jewel
alright, I think I'll go for the red rebel then. thanks, guys
dull depot
yeah agreed with Harry, red rebel is great
Might want to check the community made flea market monitoring deal too, prices on them have been going nuts since the twitch drops. Not sure if theyve settled
flat cipher
red rebel dummy expensive atm
scenic jewel
Pretty sure red rebel was like 3.7mil a day or two ago.
hidden ember
yep
scenic jewel
been watching them tonight and they're 3.9ish
I saw one go up for 3.4, kinda wish I had bought it now lol
dull depot
Yeah. Before it was like.... 3.2 i think? Then drops got them down to like 1m lol
hidden ember
i would check the price rn but the servers just cut out for me
flat cipher
it usually levels out at like 2.5m at one point
hidden ember
im suck in a loading screen pog
scenic jewel
Isn't it more expensive right now because the trade with jaeger got more expensive?
flat cipher
prob
scenic jewel
or the craft or however you get it
dull depot
^^. I wouldnt buy it for any more than 3.4 tbh
At 3.4 its liquid enough that you wont hate yourself. Can always sell it back for whatever reason, costs like 500k to put it up lol
flat cipher
gpus at 300k is nice though
granite rivet
so how do you use the hamr scope's second upper scope
split vapor
buy the red dot slap it in and then alt fight cick
unreal lintel
is EKO ammo good for the VPO-209?
unreal lintel
u talking to me?
split vapor
yes and yes
dull depot
@granite rivet linked search the hamr scope, shows you the deltapoint mini thing
unreal lintel
k
split vapor
use the spectr
dull depot
^^^ but so worth. Probably the best midrange scope imo. The bravo with a pk06 is an alternative... but i believe its around the same price
split vapor
bravo trash
sonic mulch
If i could have 1 successful run tonight that'd be great haha
granite rivet
yeah
its weird how the x4 is the same sensitivity as looking around and the x1 isnt
if it was flopped around that would make sense

obtuse thunder
rando ass question i cant find answer to. I dont have a workbench so I cannot modify weapons outside of raid? If I drop in can I attach an optic or will I need special equipment?
atomic knoll
I find variable scopes to be pretty bad in this game
split vapor
yeah ofc you can mod guns
granite rivet
certain attachments you can modify in raid
obtuse thunder
Im guessing an optic on rails should beone of those? God, tell me I wont have to zero it lol
split vapor
without the bench you only see this
granite rivet
yes
you can also remove silencers
anything more complex mechanically you have to be out of raid to do so
obtuse thunder
Ok....so I feel like an idiot now. Without a workbench are your modding options the same as what you can do in raid?
steady pilot
No
obtuse thunder
Alright. Thanks. Ill play with it, I just figured out I can do what I needed out of raid without a bench
split vapor
like i posted above is the non workbench mod screen
open jetty
ugh leg meta is such bs
you should seriously be banned if you leg meta
or damage spread across body should be lessened
if its leg damage
jolly terrace
armored legs or riot
open jetty
that would be cool as well
jolly terrace
everything else can be armoured
open jetty
but these little leg meta assholes need to be taken care of
either run ammo that cna penetrate my lvl 4 armor or fuck outta here
legit its just lvl 4 armor the ammo to beat it is not expensive

What's the point of buffer tubes?
silver hornet
you can put stocks on them
silver hornet
yeah you can't just jam an M4 stock onto an AK
split vapor
well you can
mighty jasper
Oh
silver hornet
with a buffer tube lol
silver hornet
yeah, that's my point
mighty jasper
And what does that give me?
silver hornet
Better stocks?
split vapor
but they are for M4 pattern rifles as there is a recoil spring in it
mighty jasper
But it has a recoil reduction of its own
split vapor
tubes arent hollow tubes
mighty jasper
No?
split vapor
i just go with the Strike industries advanced tube
mighty jasper
Im just trying to get the concept of it, I hardly know names :(
fluid cargo
so not necessarily new just havent done labs as of yet and mostly need a sherpa too help me navigate through it, ive been doing offlines and watching videos but still would like some help with it
mighty jasper
Buffer tubes are basically the handguards of stocks?
split vapor
Realisticlly Tubes serve no purpose on ak pattern rifles
mighty jasper
Not talking realisticly
split vapor
ik
mighty jasper
Only in the sense of the game
You basically put a buffer tube on a weapon to equip a stock onit and get generally better stats
Correct ^?
red wadi
How come the Therapist won't buy some of my Salewas? Need to sell her 5 for the quest and here I have 5
red wadi
Where do I turn them in? I can't click anything
split vapor
The large TURN IN
granite rivet
literally press turn in lol
red wadi
Oh ffs.
granite rivet
aye
split vapor
granite rivet
happens
red wadi
Is there a quick way to open item cases instead of right clicking and clicking open
full parcel
Double click
red wadi
Eh essentially the same thing. Was thinking going straight to open
full parcel
Faster to double click but you do you

HOW THE FUCK IS IT POSSIBLE TO SPAWN IN WITH FUCKING 3 MINUTES LEFT ON A RAID?
ffs
fix game
split vapor
One this is #beginners-assistance and not rant about pc
two thats kinda not a thing
steady pilot
Well with a 20 min reduction in raid times
Pmcs are staying in raid within the time frame
So allows scavs to spawn.
red wadi
@olive phoenix I spawned in as a scav the other day with 70 seconds on factory
regal blaze
happened to me too bomber<
red wadi
@full parcel I was trying to do it in the trader section. Every time I double clicked it opened up the menu to the case. I see what you're saying now
Thanks
regal blaze
Anyone's got an idea what I can do to shorten loading times when in a squad ? For some strange reason whenever I play with a specific group of friends , I always spawn in about 5 to 10 minutes after the rest of the squad, but it does not happen with anyone else ( I'm in canada and all my squad mates are either in canada or usa )
bold kernel
Should I spend my own money to buy things from traders and sell back to them to increase spending? Or are there better ways?
fresh umbra
@regal blaze you may need an ssd mate
timber dock
@bold kernel You can sort of cheese it like that for a number of the traders. Jaeger and Prapor for sure.
regal blaze
already have 3 SSDs
timber dock
Clearly you need a fourth!
regal blaze
clearly
fresh umbra
Then I dont know what to tell you honestly...
timber dock
@regal blaze Do you and your friends usually play with the same person as group leader?
regal blaze
yes
timber dock
Try a different group leader.
regal blaze
he's the closest one to me >.>
timber dock
You be the leader!
regal blaze
look at me , I'm da leader now
fresh umbra
Try being the leader! LONG LIVE THE KIND
So do raiders always spawn on hermetic bunker when you hit the switch ? Me and mah boys want to try farm that
regal blaze
funny to know that the actor who played that pirate captain, ad lib'd that line
Seriously though, are load times really only affected by your storage drives ? Does that mean that realistically , if me being the squad leader does not make my times better, there's no other way to play with those friends ?
fresh umbra
What specs mate ?
timber dock
@regal blaze In your case it sounds like some other issue if you don't have the problem when playing solo.
regal blaze
yeah i don't have problems when playing solo or with other friends
fresh umbra
Then dont let them be the host ez
timber dock
Which is why I was sort of wondering if the problem persists if you're the group leader.
Could be some fucky network stuff.
fresh umbra
^
regal blaze
want my specs ? I'm not at home , but basically I got a 8350 OC'd , 16 GB ram , GTX 1660 TI Ultra and the game is on a 1TB SSD
fresh umbra
Ok so yeah its network stuff
regal blaze
waiting on DDR5 ram this year to upgrade, probably will be switching CPU and mobo by Q3
fresh umbra
Ram is not important in games anyway so if upgrade dont do it if you game only

regal blaze
thinking of running my 8350 with my gtx 970 with a capture card so I can record my main pc , like playing Tarkov or playing VR , with Alyx releasing ... anyway my main concern here is to get a more powerfull single cores and less of a multithreader
fresh umbra
So guys when you hit the switch on reserve and hermetic door is open, do raiders always spawn there ?
timber dock
@spark hawk https://tarkov-market.ru/en/item/RB-ST_key
split vapor
if you want single core power thats Intel for you
spark hawk
Can’t even access flea market yet 😁
fresh umbra
Cheers mate
tribal cove
I want to start using a lvl 5 armor with a blackrock. Is the gen4 hmk the best cheap option? Killa is kinda expensive
regal blaze
I've been running the 8350 for years now, it was great to record and stream, but as time goes by it's getting harder and harder to have big consistent gameplay with a multithreader, so that's why I'm thinking of using it with a capture card
fresh umbra
@tribal cove cheapest is redut
tribal cove
@fresh umbra does it repair well?
fresh umbra
It may not be a good idea to go intel, AMD is king right now
sonic lake
boomer chip 😂👌
regal blaze
yeah but it's still running at over 4gHz so it's not like I'm lagging behind
sonic lake
ive upgraded a shitty athlon to a 2200g

gotta love getting insta headshotted by a player coming through a door after he insta headshotted my teammate lolz
sonic lake
still have r9 280 tho

@tribal cove redut m is made with combined materials, its pretty good repair and durability
open jetty
just watched teh replay and as soon as his gun cleared teh door instant headshot on both of us
split vapor
oofy amd
tribal cove
Oke
sonic lake
combined materials kinda esspensive to repair
ngl
and doesnt repair as nice as titan
tribal cove
So redut m or gen4 hmk?
open jetty
cant wait for the next banwave of cheaters
split vapor
well
sonic lake
or the fancy plastic shit
split vapor
the wave is jsut a post of all the names and well more new banned folks
open jetty
yeah i just wish the detection of hacks was better
sonic lake
ive ran into less than 10 hackers
open jetty
we had a dude prethrowing nades earlier today but was able to kill him
regal blaze
either I've been fucking lucky or there isn't that many hackers, cause I don't feel like I've met any , except for maybe 1 guy that I found kinda suspicious
split vapor
and how they do do it is special
open jetty
yeah ive only run into a tiny handful of hackers
a lot of times its desync that causes the issues
fresh umbra
I would go for redut because its cheaper and if they run good armor you are screwed either way
split vapor
BE and their own inhouse basically pings players and someone in BSG reviews it
sonic lake
people overexaggerate exit campers and hackers
split vapor
and boom they get yeeted
regal blaze
yeah spyder
open jetty
exit campers are definitely a problem but if youre careful you can usually handle them
split vapor
its not in R6 someone is hacking and get yeeted two minutes later
open jetty
i will agree though hackers are far and few between
fresh umbra
I shot at a guy who teleported in front of me, my whole squad was watching my stream and he turns one shots me and keeps going lol. Was using as val.. not a hacker just lag
sonic lake
ive met like 2 exit campers in all of my raids
open jetty
yeah like i said desync is usually the cause of most issues
split vapor
last legit boy i saw in 0.8 dude was flying around
regal blaze
do people really have problems with exit campers ? I dunno but it feels like I kill way more campers than I get killed by
split vapor
and a dude in labs like in .10 or so
open jetty
wtf
sonic lake
aye labs is a shitfest
