spark hawk
I haven’t played rust since like early alpha😂 what’s that game turned into
blazing hinge
guys where do i find cases? i cant find any 😦
pliant plank
@spark hawk got really good when it came out of beta, and went worse lately because they've added too much stuff
@grave helm first person SHOOTER, rust is a game set in first person that revolves around gunplay
so yes, its a shooter
FPS
marked rooms
are where u will find cases
but mainly u just buy em
grave helm
I never heard someone calling Rust a FPS lol. The only thing I heard/read about rust is that 300k people refunded the game
pliant plank
yet it still has 90k online players
pliant plank
its not hardcore
wet moss
and its got guns
wet moss
how is that not a shooter
i mean
like
its more hardcore than other fps games
its not tarkov hardcore
thin lotus
its normal core
pliant plank
what is going on
wet moss
normal core is literally csgo
pliant plank
with the folders with intelligence market
grave helm
You mean its Softcore hardcore
pliant plank
it was 290k yesterday
it was 230k this morning
now theyre 280k
whats with the heavy fluctuations
thin lotus
yeah you can
thin lotus
how much hours do you have on rust?
wet moss
they took that shit serious as fuck
thin lotus
rust solo is the easiest lol
wet moss
only bout 900-100.. enough to learn the game solo, get decent and realise it wasnt for me
1000
pliant plank
well
wet moss
admittedly
tough sleet
Well I've been in matchmaking 3 times now for the screen to go blank and Alt-F4
wet moss
it was over a long time
pliant plank
i ran with a group of 3 on trios servers
tough sleet
I'm over it
pliant plank
and we had a combined like
wet moss
and i am not an ironsighter
thin lotus
spear op
grave helm
damn thats a lot
blazing hinge
xD
pliant plank
thought i read customs
RB-BK
and
RB-VO
are the 2 marked keys
on reserve
BK is the one near the center of map
VO is far corner
blazing hinge
oh i only know the one marked room xD
looking for the one for the white building
has like a giant B on it
pliant plank
uh
open lotus
I hate this game
open lotus
I get the best spawn inside red building on customs
wet moss
u tryin to look richer than u are?! ;p
open lotus
Grab quest item
Extract is on other side of the map, I get shot one then bleed out 4 seconds away from extract
hollow terrace
guys where to buy EUROS in game?
wet moss
phxx
open lotus
Yeah
wet moss
u ever try to extract at dorms by paying 7k?
open lotus
No
wet moss
if its there u literally traverse less than half the required distance
wet moss
i mean the paid evacs are actually bonkers as fuck
u should use them anytime u can
unless ur a god
open lotus
Even if I do get out I will prob die in factory
wet moss
and want to hunt more noobs
i mean like
honestly
factory part is kinda easy with a buddy
u do need someone to watch ur back tho
cause u gotta essentially plant a bomb for 30 seconds
u gotta hold f down for 30 seconds
wet moss
if the game is working
i guess i could help u
just kinda over the constant errors atm tho
blazing hinge
bruh the amount of times i think going into customs at night is safer and while looting scav boss just walks in next to me is insane
wet moss
i have no luck with night raids tbh
blazing hinge
imagine looting marked room thinking your safe from players and having 5 men run up the stairs
wet moss
i mean customs office can be deadly enough lol
especially if ur by urself
cause u get pinned in
blazing hinge
dorms is the only reason i think customs is worth it tbh i've looted the whole map and theres really no good spots for me
wet moss
easier with a buddy holding the stairs
blazing hinge
office is alright
wet moss
so somebody cant just get an angle on the choke
the bottom right of the map can be pretty insane
if u know all the spots
id say its dorms, bottom right, offices
in that order
bottom right has like 3 hidden stashes, 2 pc's, square weapon box, rectangle weapon box all in a small area
body on couch, toolbox
blazing hinge
can dorms marked room spawn cases? so far all i have found are guns, bullets and mag/bullet boxes
blazing hinge
yikes
wet moss
an ammo case, money case, magbox
blazing hinge
i've been doing it for a week and haven't gotten anything over mag box quality
wet moss
i mean
rng is rng
is rng
ive played poe and went 500 burials without a doctor.. ive also gotten 2 doctors in a row in 25 maps (i know u most likely have no clue what im talkin bout ;ppp)

blazing hinge
yeah
bold kernel
did you check what was inside of it?
u can get a labs keycard inside sometimes
even red
blazing hinge
empty from memory
bold kernel
never remember it being empty lol
wet moss
i feel like its hard to miss somethin like that
i cannot be the ONLY one
that always opens up containers
blazing hinge
lol
wet moss
because
blazing hinge
i usually pick it up run and hide then i search it 😛
wet moss
i hit f 1k times more
than i look at somethin
and scroll down to take
everytime i do it
i am like fuck
obviously
its just muscle memory
taking over common sense
dont pretend u dont do it i watch summit and shroud and drlupo all of them fuck up like that when bag stacking
reminds me of the kids in twitch chat who think they loot juiced guys in 10 seconds and not 2 minutes
tough sleet
Is the game still dead?
split vapor
no
bold kernel
Any scopes recomended for the VSS? I am pushing dorms with it
tough sleet
I tried for an hour or so and couldn't get in so I went back to bed lmao

I'm confused, I went MIA in a raid a few days ago and I had insured all my stuff but Prapor only gave me one magazine back
fossil oracle
i have a 2% survivial rate how badly do i need a shepard?
fast rivet
Somehow I'm sitting at 60%
half jackal
@copper geyser you dont get items you had on you back when MIA
copper geyser
But I got a mag back?
half jackal
how is prapor supposed to find your stuff if you went missing
it was one you dropped on the ground
copper geyser
Wait so if you're about to go MIA you can just drop your shit on the ground before hand?
half jackal
yes
copper geyser
wack
That would have been good to know
Wait how do prapor's goons find a random item laying somewhere on the map but not a body with all my shit
half jackal
it cost me like 1.4m figuring that one out
copper geyser
this game kinda weird bro
open lotus
where do i find one of these? not appearing on flea
main light
God why are there so many quests in custom, such a shit map without any gear
main light
How do I do the custom quests
half jackal
@open lotus oh its abbreviated so typing JPGS5b wont work
wet moss
i dont understand the problem
celest condor
@tiny void no auto power or timer.
tough herald
Does anyone mind playing with a noob for a bit? Just want to do some runs but have someone who can guide me (not hold my hand)
open lotus
i built a new gun so it can collect dust in my stash

@open lotus wish I had the cash to just build guns lol.

after missing in action, will I get my itmes back by insurance
open lotus

Lol me too phxx I just suck at the game lol.

shadow just do scav runs
quasi nest
I've been trying to do customs quests for like two weeks just today was able to scrap by and get the gold pocket watch. And I still have two more.
karmic falcon
@tiny void after starting your craft just turn off the generator, it'll continue to craft but it just takes a lot longer
silver bridge
can u put anything in lucky scav box
coral roost
quasi nest
I do phxx I just only get nickel and dime stuff. I just started getting decent at small money runs on interchange.
karmic falcon
sry wrong haz
timber dock
@silver bridge Only barter/trade items.
open lotus
I’m just a pussy so I’m too scared to go into a raid
Sometimes if I’m scav I just alt f4 if I hear someone
quasi nest
Lmao I think I've managed to get out of 2 pmc raids out of like 13
open lotus
one day i just wasnt scared for some reason so i managed to kill like 5 pmcs and extract
thats how i got decent money
then anxiety crippled me
copper geyser
I suck at playing against players who play slow
quasi nest
Lmao I've killed a pmc I think twice
open lotus
that day when i wasnt scared felt so nice lol
i was clapping cheeks
tomorrow im gonna go on
quasi nest
My issue is if I aim at the head I never hit the head for some reason. I had one scav earlier today. It was on sniper roof that I put my dot on his head and wasted a whole made in single fire but didn't hit him once.
solar valve
someone who knows the map wanna help me with a customs scav run?
quasi nest
Lol I have only see 1 mil in my bank once.
vale arrow
@quasi nest there's bullet drop in the game if u didn't know or maybe ur zeroing was simply off
open lotus
GN
open lotus
i have to go
solar valve
oh 
tropic path
how much is san303?
open lotus
and servers are buggy for me
quasi nest
I know there's Bullet drop. And I had a culminator didn't think those you could change zero. I was basically bellow him at ruaf by the unknown soldier.
celest condor
@quasi nest not like other games... Need to account for range. Scoeps are actually offset from the barrel and that affects impact point as well. This game takes time to learn. It is not as simple as put dot on head and click.
open lotus
maybe tmwr we coukd get like 4-5 people and scav run or something
celest condor
Hell even the accuracy of the gun matters, different ammo types change bullet velocity to a small degree as well.
quasi nest
Im probably going to get back on in a little. If someone wants help with interchange loot stashes or some possible computer rooms or weapons cases.
somber bolt
why is the 45 degree angled foregrip so expensive? Is there anything special about it apart from -4 rec +4 erg?
copper geyser
It looks sick
tough sleet
These reserve keys are the best thing I ever bought
Just went into a room and it had like 7 AKs
I took all the suppressors obvs
quasi nest
Damn
I only got one reserve key. Happened to get it from a scav run. It's the room by dome which is always got decent things to sel
Just wish I had a rr to get out there.
quasi nest
I haven't had that much money or it would be a no brain buy
tough sleet
Yeah
It was like a month ago ish
before they raised the trade price
st0nks
I can probably make 10m a day with my reserve set
I'd sell you a RR for cheap
quasi nest
Lol my key I have sells for 500k but I don't want to sell a key I use.
tough sleet
Fair
I have the 3 keys for dome too
the 3 inside are kinda eh
but the one in the small building with a safe is pretty good
quasi nest
I have the outside key.
vale arrow
I really wanna buy a RR but current price is too high for me /:
quasi nest
That's the one I have. 3 safes. Two weapon safes and a weapons case is nice.
tough sleet
I have a keyring full with all the best ones, not the underground 4 keys
bc they kinda suck
and not the middle building
all other keys tho, keyring full
quasi nest
Nice. I'm running a doc bag with mine right now.
tough sleet
gotcha
I don't like the 2 slot key holders
just bc you don't need all keys for the map
just the good ones normally
quasi nest
But I'm so new that I'm broke and I only have up to a beta so having docs case is rufff lol
quasi nest
When I get paid next I'm spending the $40 to get my eod
quasi nest
Lol
strong jolt
Are the servers still effing up? Or is it safe to do some geared runs?
strong jolt
roger that
celest condor
@quasi nest Document case is fine. You will want to upgrade just t free up some space, but until then you are good.
quasi nest
That's my intent @celest condor just want the gamma for safe storage
open lotus
I paid like £8 for rust and 1k hours, I think that’s pretty good entertainment value
vale arrow
huh why
tough sleet
sicc is 2 slots but holds a ton
like you can fit every key for any map
keytool is 1 slot but you have to not take -some- keys
strong jolt
I don't think it would all of custom's keys
vale arrow
u did the < the wrong way I think
celest condor
I have a sicc case for shoreline, keytool for all the other maps.
vale arrow
oh ok :D
tough sleet
^~^
celest condor
Just too many shoreline keys.. I had 20 keys for shoreline before I gave them to my kid.
vale arrow
just had me confused for a sec
quasi nest
Yeah i really only run interchange reserve and customs.
celest condor
@tough sleet I don't do shoreline either, kid ran it alot so I traded my full sicc case for his nearly empty sicc case.
tough sleet
reserve w/ keys I generally am first to open all the doors
I never see anyone there with keys
other than marked
ofc
even 20 mins in I can still open stuff
which is super weird
celest condor
Feels like a lotof reserve players are there for raiders or sniping.
quasi nest
I've yet to get into a marked room I feel so much like a noob lol
quasi nest
Reserve I tend to just hug the wall and run to bunkers towers and my room with a key.
tough sleet
Jesus
Got exit camped 10 mins in
by 3 geared players
lmao
enjoy the scav BP and 2 AKs
quasi nest
Lol where at?
quasi nest
Lol that's why I don't scav on reserve
tough sleet
I was PMC
merry lodge
lol i Dced twice while in the extract
tough sleet
also big part of reserve is knowing what you spawn closest to
quasi nest
Ahhh
tough sleet
like if I'm the closest spawn to marked I go for it
if not then eh
that's why many keys are good, you always spawn by something you have a key for
and the closest PMC to it
if you know spawns
quasi nest
I got a big rip to one of the server errors earlier.
I had a full scav run prob worth 300k roughly the error popped up then I was able to run to extract. I extracted and the completion screen never came up so I had to hit exit game and I lost all the gear and the scav run.

I was using SNB earlier

quasi nest
I use snb and still have same issue.
bold kernel
I mean I also don't get many kills with my mosin unless I headshot
snipers in general
vale arrow
@quasi nest for mosin use 7n1
vale arrow
snb doesn't onetap chest
rancid fractal
5 scavs in a row
vale arrow
use 7n1
quasi nest
@vale arrow I'm cheap lol
vale arrow
u don't shoot much with a mosin it's def worth it
rancid fractal
according to the wiki, snb penetrates level 6 armour?
bold kernel
yeah but the damage it does its not enough
vale arrow
yes but it does less than 80 damage so it doesn't one tap chest @rancid fractal
cold brook
.... i have 10krubles.... only a hachet and a markkey.... what do i do?
vale arrow
just use 7n1
quasi nest
@cold brook run scav runs to get money for gear.
You also get the gear too for budget runs.
cold brook
ok
orchid tundra
does anyone know anything to make the directional sound in this game better? I rely on sound so much like most others, so when the sound is coming from my back left I turn that way, only to be point back shot by the guy rounding the corner in the opposite direction
and yes i checked to see if my headphones were backwards lol
cold brook
would a hachet run to marked work?
rancid fractal
I had to disable a load of the enhancements windows adds to hear stuff properly in this game
@cold brook if you're quick, and out before the geared dudes turn up
Assuming the boss isn't there
or 5-8 scavs
cold brook
i always spawn at the fraking customs...
rancid fractal
haha, I get shit spawns all the time too
The one time I don't want to spawn and dorms atd I spawn right around the corner
cold brook
marked key was expensive af... shouldve just tried to find it
rancid fractal
Expensive? It's like 40k?
cold brook
isnt it like 60 now?
rancid fractal
Check out some of the 20 million stuff lol
quasi nest
I found a full stack on a scav run.
rancid fractal
You should make double your money back, at least, on your first run
cold brook
if i ever get there tho
rancid fractal
YEah, there is that
bold kernel
@rancid fractal what did you do to your sound settings?
rancid fractal
Switch to a quieter server
@bold kernel Honestly, I can't remember, it was about 7 months ago. I did google Tarkov sound settings and followed something of a guide, though
cold brook
wait.... i cant lose the hachet?
rancid fractal
The windows settings sometimes mess things up if the game also tries to do something similar. At least, that's what I assume
You can't
cold brook
how?
orchid tundra
i also know theres defintely something wrong because when I watch streamers play I can hear exactly where people are; it's so much better
cold brook
are some other weapons too?
rancid fractal
It could just be bad headphones
Mine aren't perfect. I have to turn to pinpoint someones location
supple cove
how are the servers?
orchid tundra
brand new astro a40's and I tried out a new pair of hyper x 2's

no virtual surround sound on because I've read tarkov no likey virtual surround sound

@supple cove my load times have been slightly slower than normal, but I'm still getting in in less than 3-4 minutes

when is the next wipe? like summer?

sullen trail
Hello there! just a quick question.
Why can't I wear armored chest rigs, even if I don't have a vest or a chest rig on? I'm a lvl 10 USEC. Is there is a level or skill requirement?
flat cipher
no, theres nothing to stop you other than another piece of armour
sullen trail
Hum. It keeps saying Item Incompatible
flat cipher
then somethings in the way
if youre wearing absolutely nothing else, try restarting the game
usually solves some problems
sullen trail
I've restarted and played multiple times over the course of the week, and every day I just get an "item incompatible" message when I try to put it on
flat cipher

yeah i do thjat sometimes dw
no, insuring is available
what are you trying to insure

all my gear, just doing a light woods run to kill some scavs. i click insure all and it highlights everything but the button doesnt allow me to click, i have enough to pay the bill.

broken sandal
anyone want to scav run? Im new and need assistance before I kill myself or uninstall
bold kernel
to complete punisher 5, where do you suggest me to go
glass moon
which one is it?
analog current
@broken sandal can help a wee bit, not that experienced myself yet, but can show you the basics if you're still on
glass moon
and the answer will be factory @bold kernel whichever one it is.
bold kernel
@glass moon Paca and shitty helmet
glass moon
yeah factory, most player contact you can get.
bold kernel
why factory? I would guess the only pmcs there are beefy ones
royal elbow
close quarters
bold kernel
idk if I can drop them with that loadout
royal elbow
smallest map
glass moon
na a lot of pistoliers and hatchet runnres trying to do quests too @bold kernel
bold kernel
should I use bt or bs ammo
glass moon
always best ammo so BS
be a glass cannon with that shitty paca and helmet, u die quick but at least u can kill even the thiccest of bois
fast rivet
It's kinda unreal how much bs and igolnik I find in caches and ammo boxes
glass moon
well if you don't get a chance to shoot at your opponents or don't get to see where you died from it's not worth it until you're more familiar with the game imo
bitter horizon
How do u know what ammo do ur gun use ?
glass moon
but if you are getting into actual engagements best bullets are your best chance to survive
fast rivet
As in in game or what ammo to use in the stash @bitter horizon
bitter horizon
In game
bold kernel
I mean I am still learning but I get countinously fucked by duos or people flanking in unexpected ways
glass moon
@bold kernel 1 mag equipped, two mags in your rig and then put 60-120 ammo in your pouch
fast rivet
Alt-t
glass moon
for budget runs at least.
bold kernel
I can only kill duos/trios with when like they use ammo that doesnt match my armor
@glass moon thats what I usually do but still thats alot of ammo lost when I die
glass moon
if you don't feel confident with the paca in close quarters take a sniper rifle and go sit in a bush somewhere and snipe fellas.
@bold kernel Yeah i feel you
quasi nest
for the customs doc quest in the customs office of big red do you need to get out with the documents?
glass moon
@quasi nest yes
quasi nest
well shit looks like im doing some pistol w key runs for it
analog current
if you're not going to do the factory drop off immediately
quasi nest
offline raid irems stash?
analog current
cause you'll lose them if you raid and die
quasi nest
you mean the container?
analog current
yeah, while in menus go to character -> tasks tab
you'll see that you have a special inventory
bold kernel
I'll try factory
analog current
called quest item stash
quasi nest
yeah what are those for and how do you use them?
analog current
and there's both in raid and off raid stash
for example
the docs
from the customs office
they go into your quest item inventory when you pick them up
glass moon
@bold kernel when u spawn in factory the spawns are pretty close together so you can rush them and catch players off guard
sonic mural
anyone else's game been crashing a lot more today?
analog current
and when you exit customs they'll be there
glass moon
@sonic mural yeah its the weekend so servers are messed up :>
analog current
now if you don't do factory immediately afterwards and you go raid somewhere else and you die
you will lose those documents if you are carrying them in your "In raid quest items" stash
and you have to do the whole customs thing again
sonic mural
@glass moon i always play weekends though, only happened a lot today
quasi nest
gotcha i appreciate the tip @analog current
timber dock
You can offload the quest items to your non-raid quest stash if you don't have to do Factory right after.
quasi nest
server was shit today ive had some bad runs to
sonic mural
so are game crashes due to servers then?
analog current
nw, lost mine 3 times before i understood what was happening lel
glass moon
@sonic mural I dno but there were 3 seperate server Fs tonight also the US guys seem to be having some issues check the eft-chat
steel garnet
zzzzz why has every map just turned into extract camping
sonic mural
@glass moon ok ty
analog current
i think EFT is just taking in way more players than its servers can currently handle
quasi nest
anyone interested in helping me get through that quest in a little to atleast get the docs and extract?
fast rivet
jump between 2 minutes and 8, its all about the time of day really
glass moon
are you EU or US?
analog current
yeh sure
glass moon
@quasi nest
quasi nest
us
glass moon
ahh aright nvm ;'(
sonic mural
@glass moon im eu
glass moon
noice I was asking the dude who wanted help with the task though :> @sonic mural
analog current
@quasi nest sorry dude, EU here
quasi nest
darn appreciate that thought though
obtuse thunder
So.....are melee weapons virtually useless now? Tried doing an axe run to complete some quests and those scavs werent having it
glass moon
@quasi nest check LFG channel you'll find dudes there
I dno i've not done a hatchet run in ages
sonic mural
@glass moon oh ok my bad
analog current
@obtuse thunder dunno have tried melee killing a bunch, it never works
kinda disappointed
glass moon
just take a tt save yourself some trouble
glass moon
ikr especially if you wack'em in the face
dim crane
what would be a side mount for the ak74m?
obtuse thunder
Yea, I ran out of ammo on woods once and stabbed a scav twice in the head to no avail....keep losing shit on customs trying to do tasks so I figured Id get a hatchet. I think I just wasted 90k
analog current
yeah exactly
past jetty
got in a knife fight earlier felt way off
analog current
@dim crane none
glass moon
@dim crane whatchu mean? like a rail?
dim crane
yeah
glass moon
b-13 is the cheapest i think
analog current
AK's are for shooting, not for pointing lasers with
😄
just put a bastion rail and a holo or smth
and change the stock and the foregrip if you have the funds
for more ergo
but really not necessary on lower lvl's
glass moon
@dim crane b-13 for scopes though just lettin you know. if you want to put a laser, you can either use the cobra mount, which has space for a sight and a laser, but you can also change the foregrip and put a laser on that way. trax i think is the cheapest foregrip, cmdr is the best for recoil but expensive.
glass moon
I am? 😮
analog current
though, would still advice against using AK with lasers
analog current
seems useless
glass moon
laser is great though reduces your hipfire groupings
and not just because you see where you're shooting, it literally reduces the grouping size
analog current
does it actually affect your hip fire acc?
analog current
aside from being a handy pointer?
bold kernel
Gamers, Any suggestions on good money runs. Yes i've watched youtube videos and saw that they did runs and such but they require keys and i'm broker then broke.
glass moon
and if you feel like other people will see your laser and it's not worth it because of that, ls321 laser has an IR searchlight mode, practically invisible but still provides the benefit
open jetty
big money is on reserve and interchange
analog current
shoreline can be pretty risk free if you just run around the map
glass moon
@bold kernel reserve is good without keys
open jetty
even scav on reserve and ic is good money
analog current
but reserve has a lot of ammo and weapon crates
interchange just has a lot of mid and high tier junk
open jetty
if you fight raiders as scav its low risk high reward
analog current
^^
bold kernel
Alright, thanks gamers.
analog current
go to interchange as a scav and camp an exit for a struggling pmc who's trying to get his millions out
open jetty
you can do it with a toz even if you know how the ai works
analog current
not me though please
open jetty
dont exit camp
bold kernel
^
open jetty
its almost as bad as hatchling
bold kernel
that's a chad move if you exit camp
open jetty
play a ton of scav to help beat gear fear
analog current
very much 😄
open jetty
sell everything until then
then once you are more comfortable start out with pistols or aks
cheap guns
then just keep moving up
i will say though it still sucks losing my 500k kit even now
bold kernel
Alright gamer thanks for the info.
open jetty
if you want i can take you on a run of reserve adn show you the routes to run
where to avoid and where to be careful
open jetty
i got my upgrade within 10 minutes
@bold kernel im in beginners assistance 3
come join me
bold kernel
alright
open jetty
just started a scav factory
bold kernel
very cool, thanks for answering
analog current
@open jetty you EU or US ?
drifting kite
Hi my wife and I just picked this up today and we're working on learning it, is this a good spot for us to ask questions?
open jetty
@analog current im US
play with my EU friends all the time though and never has issues
analog current
oh ok, thought the regions were locked from each other
open jetty
npope not at all
analog current
when you buy your copy it even mentions the region
all the better
can i join you guys in a bit?
just doing a shoreline quest run myself
bold kernel
if anyone would like to play with me im lvl 7 still learning the game pretty much but really have only played solo none of my friends really play this game lol
bold kernel
didnt know if i could look here too since im newbish
night crag
I believe it’s any kind of group check the rules
stone surge
@analog current the flea market is shared aswell
but the game (unless you tell it to) will only put you on servers below 150 ping
fast rivet
@drifting kite ask away, i can take you for runs too
topaz wagon
hey I'm like lvl 2 or something not even sure i got this game a day ago and really need help if anyone is willing to teach me i would be very grateful also my mic broke so i cant talk 😦
analog current
fix your mic though 😄 hard to help without comms
fast rivet
^
topaz wagon
i know
stone surge
you can't really be teached if you dont have a mic
because you'll just be walking behind someone looting and doing random stuff
topaz wagon
Im out of money and need to buy an adapter to talk
stone surge
without learning anything
it's also annoying for the teammate you go in with. If you hear footsteps (and he doesn't, because he's maybe somewhere else) you have no way to communicate it to him
neither can you communicate where you are
topaz wagon
good point
analog current
yeh, fix a mic for your in game comms
stone surge
and esp amongst newer players. Teamkills are very common
analog current
even a 10$ desktop mic will do the trick if you can't afford a headset
fast rivet
i go in with some arm bands when i'm helping super new players
stone surge
just because the game doesn't tell you who you teammates are. It's all purely based on comms to know where ur teammate is
analog current
hehe yeah good idea
topaz wagon
Nah it's an adapter my PC case either had mic or talk so either I can talk or I can hear stuff 😦
stone surge
arm bands only apply to shoulders and you don't even see it most of the time
and you can't tell an enemy to turn around
by then ur dead
analog current
mate, i'm not thousands but in the meanwhile 100-200 in the game and TK's still happen ...
*hrs
good comms are so essential
topaz wagon
Any tips at least on how to learn extracts
wet moss
offline mode
analog current
do offline raids
analog current
look at the maps online (on a second screen maybe if you have one?)
fast rivet
or your phone
analog current
🙂 ^^
topaz wagon
Yeah I found a map online for customes
vale arrow
tablet laptop smart fridge
analog current
there's maps online for all maps
but yeah, enter the raid in offline mode
and Enable PVP
PvE sorry
wet moss
i am kinda mixed on the maps
vale arrow
check the wiki it has all maps
analog current
so you also learn where the scavs spawn
wet moss
i feel like when i first started to learn customs the map kinda hurt at the start
and learning inside interchange without a map seemed easier
vale arrow
why
wet moss
the biggest thing to remember is
analog current
how so ?
wet moss
the extracts will always be on the opposite side u spawn
topaz wagon
Idk I like can't find the surrounding I feel like they look different from mapd
analog current
yeah, the game will always force you to cross the map in some way
fast rivet
not really but okay
wet moss
not really what
analog current
you gotta bare in mind that the scale of the maps is rather small
fast rivet
looks different
analog current
compared to the ingame environment
topaz wagon
Yeah
fast rivet
learn your landmarks, dude
analog current
but yeah look around, learn landmarks indeed
fast rivet
red building, group of trees
wet moss
looking at a map after that is easier
analog current
on customs fe, learn to look for the factory towers
fast rivet
radio tower
analog current
and orient yourself from that
fast rivet
oh hey theres a river with a bridge here
wet moss
looking at a map as u run the map is kinda confusing
analog current
or on reserve, look for dome
fast rivet
etc etc etc
analog current
things like that
topaz wagon
Yeah I know those like 4 round thingies
wet moss
because u think u know where u are at on the map and u dont
fast rivet
i've always been a great navigator, fortunately Xd
wet moss
especially true for woods lol
analog current
also doing offline raids WITHOUT pve is really good for map exploration
fast rivet
^
analog current
you can just roam around, have a cookie, alt tab, look at map
fast rivet
but the knowledge of learning the scav spawns is kinda vital, also
topaz wagon
So I should offline no pve
analog current
try to recognize marks from the map in the ingame environment
wet moss
go offline, follow a wall all the way around the map then look at an actual map
i bet it makes 10x more sense
fast rivet
honestly i'd love for there to be an option for you to squad up in offline
steel scaffold
LF help through customs dorms, have keys, need to make some money =/
fast rivet
learn together or teach a friend
topaz wagon
Which time phase
wet moss
@steel scaffold u wanna make money do interchange hidden stash runs
slim fern
if you squad up offline, it aint offline anymore
Unless they allow peer to peer hosting or something
wet moss
customs can be good for money if u are good at the game but if u cant secure dorms u aint got much hope gettin money
quasi nest
i just made 300k off of interchange stash run
analog current
k @topaz wagon , bullet list of practice
- OFFLINE without PVE --> Map Exploration
- OFFLINE with PVE --> map exploration + scav spawns (so more tactical practice)
- OFFLINE with PVE & Bosses Enabled --> for practicing boss/minion fights like Rushalla in dorms, Killa in Interchange etc ...
fast rivet
i make easy 200k just doing shoreline caches
slim fern
Interchange big stores be good money
wet moss
the jackets are honestly the money makers if u arent doin interchange stash runs
secure container keys
reliable money
analog current
yup
topaz wagon
Thank you jamesmarvel
pliant plank
hmmm
wet moss
interchange tech stores are risk vs reward
pliant plank
i just sold all the stuff
wet moss
the hidden stashes are low risk medium reward
pliant plank
that was in my scav junkbox that ive been collecting for the last 2 days
and went from 1m to 12m
analog current
there's a high spawn rate Marked Room Key on interchange, learn that, rush it, bag it in your container, sell it
pliant plank
so i guess reserve is as good as people say
glass moon
ma man reshala just killed me with his back turned to me
i dont mean he did a 180
he literally had his back turned

lol
wet moss
just sounds like desync of some sort
