Please explain what instakill god mode means to you in terms of what the player scav did

i dnt care
sorry for
talking about it
i read that nobody cares about cheaters in this game

Huh?
Legit cheaters should be banned.
And I believe 99% of this discord will agree.

If you have a nvidia card you can use shadowplay

it was impossible for him to know where i was

It doesn't take a lot of resources

There are many factors that can make things look illegitimate. That's what I'm trying to say. I've died to dumb shit that shouldn't happen. That seemed off. But what good does it do me to be angry about it?
fringe magnet
I just watched Pestily 10 minutes ago kill a player. He shot him right in the head. The body stayed moving for 6 seconds before he dropped.

sudden movement is also caused by lag. there was a deadlyslob clip the other day with a guy zipping around. and that was deinitely not a cheater, as he would've ripped him a new one.

what counts as found in raid? i pmced killed someone took their tactical rig and it doesnt count as found in raid so im confused

Found in raid means that it was literally found in a raid.
That PMC bought his rig and took it into a raid.

i think most of the red dots are from level 2 traders

i think he sells the pk-06 at lvl 1
peacekeeper sells the T1 and the FF3 as well if you dont mind spending USD
at level 1

What do you think of the IOTV Gen4?

Good luck trying to buy a pk-06 from a trader.
shell moth

oh
well i just bought one so
i heard they increased stocks a little
royal wind
Really? Maybe I can get some got dang handguard mounts when I got home.
fiery rover
why are people so obsessed with a pk-06
weary badge
So how does leg meta actually work? In the sense of how long it takes to put someone down by only shooting them in the legs. Would it be the same amount of hits that would need to kill someone by shooting them in the thorax if that person is not wearing armor?
royal wind
Depends on the ammo. But no, Torso will always be quicker.
Leg is only viable if they have armor that your ammo wont penetrate.
shell moth
leg meta is for shotguns and 9mm usually
royal wind
Basically.
shell moth
when you turn the corner and see a dude in killa
you wont pen his torso so thats your only option unless he doesnt have a faceshield
karmic meadow
So how does leg meta actually work? In the sense of how long it takes to put someone down by only shooting them in the legs. Would it be the same amount of hits that would need to kill someone by shooting them in the thorax if that person is not wearing armor?
@weary badge leg meta is just for ammo that cannot penetrate body armor such as 9mm what happens is that once both legs gives out they start spreading damage through the whole body
fiery rover
yeah that doesn't explain why people use it so much, there are a lot of alternatives for the pk-06 and in my opinion its not even a good sight
royal wind
The right shotgun ammo will kill a dude with 2 shots to the legs, but you can put 8 into his armor and not penetrate.
fiery rover
same
weary badge
So suppose I play as a scav and have an ak with 5.45 ps ammo and I encounter a fully armored player, including a faceshield, should I go for the legs?
karmic meadow
head
karmic meadow
because 5.45 still has penetration
weary badge
The one with the metal plate and a thin slit for the eyes
karmic meadow
Unless you have SHIT ammo you always go for head
split vapor
just dump the mag on their chest
shell moth
5.45 will go through face shields
fiery rover
if its a lvl 3 faceshield go for head if its altyn or higher do not go for head
royal wind
Youre kinda of screwed either way. Rifles dont do a lot of flesh damage. Youre better off mag dumping into the chest like shoot said.
Do enough damage to the armor that you eventually destroy it or penetrate.
fiery rover
by that time you are most likely dead tbh
weary badge
Yeah I was dead by that time lol
shell moth
Rule of thumb is you only usually leg meta if you have a shotgun or an SMG or pistol because of the caliber those weapon types usually use.
weary badge
Just asking for the next time
shell moth
Obviously it depends on the ammo.
And then things like the MP7 will just shred anyway.
and thats only if they have a faceshield and good armor
if they dont just shoot them in the head
\o/
royal wind
Yeah, like 5.45 PS does 50 flesh damage, 9mm RIP does 102. Way more valid tactic with 9mm rip than 5.45 PS.
But, if they dont have a visor, both will work to the face pretty well.
royal wind
I still need to do me up an AR style MPX and burn through all my rip ammo to see what kind of results I get.
weary badge
@fiery rover Coming back to the topic of the PK-06 I was wondering about this too. Why not use a VOMZ Weaver sight instead, at least you can see more through it
royal wind
Been meaning to burn through it all for a while.
It's all preference. PK-06 is cheap and decent.
woeful forum
any reason why soo many people are running kedr-b in factory ?
wiki doesnt show it is required for a task
fiery rover
kedrs is a funweapon
royal wind
It's not. Maybe cause it's a cheap smg?
shell moth
its a decent factory gun
weary badge
But the weaver sight is even cheaper, and you have a larger field of view through it
But I rarely see people use it
And a lot of people are running with the pk06
fiery rover
its prolly because streamer play it so all the idiots play it would be my guess
woeful forum
ohhh man its cheap ? i have been throwing other guns to grab it
royal wind
I personally dont like the weaver cause it moves a lot while moving.
shell moth
PK-06 might be more popular now because its available at level 1 so people just get used to using only that.
so thats the only thing they buy
weary badge
You mean when moving when aimed down sights?
royal wind
Yeah.
I tend to gravitate towards the sights with circular housings. More pleasing to me. Like the holosun.

Its to hold barter items, for improving the hideout or saving quest items.

if you just sell everything on the flea market it's probably comparable to holding onto it and using it
just depends what you care more about

If you dont care to upgrade hideout and just sell barter items you wont get muchuse

Hey guys, I just had a quick question. Basically, I'm just about ready to bite the bullet and buy the game. I've had a very vivid dream today, after watching the sound design vid and 0.12 trailer. I really wanna start playing this game. I guess my only concern, or thing holding me back is that it's not on Steam. Does anyone know if they'll make the game available for us on Steam, if we buy it directly from them?

I dont think thats going to be a concern for them for a very long time.

I'm in Europe, in a non-Euro country.
Technically, I should be paying in euros.
No VPN, or anything , either.
wet sail
Probably. It converted it for me to check, but it's a bit of a head-scratcher.
Perhaps they prefer quid, lol?
"The total transaction amount may include an exchange rate so the transaction can be processed locally."
Hmm.
Welp, I've done it, bois.
Huh, it says United Kingdom as the country in my receipt.
This is a genuine headscratcher.

hey guys i just went out from labs for the first time and idk what to keep and what to sell and (to who must i sell) sry for the bad english btw

Maybe it's because the card I used is a Revolut?

At any rate, how do I get the game now?

@amber carbon Normally I'd say use !ammo

With BP depot, do I have to successfully mark all objectives in one raid or can I mark each one in a different raid as long as I wait the timer?
trim herald
But that round is different. It's a subsonic round so even though it has good stats, it blows
@wet sail Should get an email with a link
wet sail
Ah, okay, got an email with the link.
Yep.
Sorry, a bit impatient.
I was thinking that maybe I got it in pounds because my card is a Revolut. Otherwise, I have no Earthly clue as to why I would get pounds.

ohh, okay thanks I should sell it then

i think they have been across where the tents are but to the left in the bushes, at least thats where i think i heard shots from
tried to move between vechiles to get hard cover, and was checking if someone was gonna snipe from ramp

Hi is anyone willing to help a new player get into and understand the game?
faint sigil
it was around 18min left in raid
trim herald
@faint sigil If that's where you keep encountering the campers, try to approach from the opposite side, and push through the foresty bits
That way you may get an angle that they don't expect, and ruin their day
@strange axle There is, Exfil Black. But it's pricy
faint sigil
will do, i once encountered some in the tents when i approached from that direction, got a clip of that somewhere
but 2 times i got sniped from the ramp or stairs when i moved through there
so started moving through vehichles on the road

Heya folks I’m back again. So yes I’ve been playing tarkov but I need to ask a question, how long would a bought copy come in? I’m borrowing a buddies account to play so it’s not mine and I think I’m finally gonna do it and get my own copy. So how long would it take if not instantly?

Okay awesome. Also another question, what would be a good way to transfer roubles over between accounts? I have quite a few roubles worth of stuff within my stash on my buddies account and he told me whatever I want to take just to do it since he doesn’t play it anyway. Everything in the stash I got on my own so I’m not stealing lol

You get a bank statement, or SMS to confirm payment. I used Revolut, so it was instant. You may wanna keep that in mind.

So random question. If hypothetically I had a bullet with 50% armor pen. One bullet I shot penetrates the armor and the second bullet doesn’t. Would both of them damage the armor? If so which one will damage it more? I’m referring specifically to armor damage
faint sigil
i aint sharing my acc so i should be ok
cerulean dock
Ooooh I didn’t even know that, that’s my bad. He kind of just gave it to me to use he doesn’t even play anymore so I shooooould be fine right?

either he is gonna rek me, or he is leading other people to show them how to kill me
split vapor
ha okay
night crag
@trim herald am confused lol
wet sail
No worries.
trim herald
@night crag So each round of a certain caliber will do a set amount of damage to the armour, depending on the round and the piece of armour. They'll also have a set chance to penetrate. The armour damage is done regardless of penetration
night crag
What is the armor damage based on then?
What would make one bullet damage the armor itself more than another kind of bullet

Hello, i just hit lvl 15 and need to get to 1.1m spent for skier lvl 2. Does anyone have an efficient method of doing this?
night crag
Time efficient would be to buy pretty much anything and selling it back
You won’t lose that much
timber estuary
yea i was hoping there was a list of decent items to buy off flea market to sell to him
trim herald
Not really, buy his stock and sell it back to him
timber estuary
most of his lvl 1 stuff u cant sell back to him
trim herald
Best way
agile forge
You can just buy from skier and sell it right back. I think with skier, you only lose like 25%
night crag
If you buy for 10k and sell for 5k then you basically spent 15k on him while paying 5k
