@prime jackal remember some quests make you lose rep

lilac warren
#

I love how salty and toxic the people in the Beginner's Assistance channel are.

prime jackal
#

Ty @strange axle @naive atlas will look into that.

lilac warren
#

No wonder this game hasn't picked up a ton of traction yet.

tardy pond
#

Who be salty :O

prime jackal
#

Bought a ledx and saw skier was at level I, rip haha

strange axle
#

so, is it true that VSS is bugged or something? I don't understand why it is cheaper than VAL

bold kernel
#

It has picked up quite the traction

visual bloom
#

why does the ak 74N sell for about 35k while the 74M is only at ~20k ?

naive atlas
#

74n is better

#

with best in slot items

bold kernel
#

Cause the N is better for customization

visual bloom
#

i dont see any difference in stats

#

just modding then yes?

naive atlas
#

the difference is minimal though i think like 5 recoil

bold kernel
#

Yes

visual bloom
#

alright i still dont rly know the differences between the 10 AK variants lol

#

just that some have a different caliber

flat cipher
#

@lilac warren you mean the non traction that cause massive server overload issues

#

yeah

#

must be a dead game

deft patio
#

Where can I get intelligence folders? What are the best places for it to drop?

flat cipher
#

theyre all over

naive atlas
#

Reserve has bunch of spots they spawn

dusk token
#

how do you guys get over gear fear?
I'm fine running my mdr or tx-15 but my fully best in slot m4 i hesitate to bring to raid
along with run gen 4 or killa armor

flat cipher
#

you just

#

learn to not care

#

at a certain point

regal zinc
#

guys whats ur go to ammo for the fiveseven?

flat cipher
#

L1 something

#

i think

dusk token
#

L191

#

be mindful they're tracer rounds

naive atlas
#

@dusk token do you have a btc farm

dusk token
#

not yet

#

Im working on it

copper geyser
#

First time I get a marked room spawn on customs I unlock it and then get pushed by a 3 man getting there late

#

nice

naive atlas
#

I got over gear fear when hideout crafts basically payed for my entire kit

bold kernel
#

Some mid-range scopes recommended to put on the OP-SKS?

flat cipher
#

@dusk token i died earlier in labs like instantly with a fully kitted val, 5 spare mags of spp, gen4, etc etc

#

was like

#

ok

#

cool

#

you just get to a point where you enjoy the game enough to not care if you lose stuff

visual bloom
bold kernel
#

Does that mean it was zeroed at 400 meters?

weak sage
#

i think its how far the sight is usable

flat cipher
#

^

#

its how far it can zero

#

afaik

dusk token
#

@flat cipher hmm alright I needa try to push myself tot ake it then

regal zinc
#

effective range

dusk token
#

Im not afraid of taking it to raid with a squad cause I know if they live they can hide my stuff

flat cipher
#

pretty much

dusk token
#

but it feels like a waste if I go in alone

flat cipher
#

like, dont hold onto stuff

dusk token
#

with gen 4 and a fully kitted m4 to shoreline

naive atlas
#

Run reserve upvote

dusk token
#

without an icepick it feels like suicide

flat cipher
#

o

#

true

#

run it budget

weak sage
#

what?

flat cipher
#

learn to not be afraid of the train

weak sage
#

what do you mean suicide without icepick

bold kernel
#

The extracts on Reserve seem difficult

flat cipher
#

theyre very bad for pmc

dusk token
#

the dome extract feels like the only reliable one

flat cipher
#

they have 3 extracts

#

one costs 5.5m

bold kernel
#

the hermetic bunker one

flat cipher
#

one is time gated

weak sage
#

heremetic risky

flat cipher
#

and the other is right at the end

#

@dusk token run it with a friend

dusk token
#

and its heavily contested

flat cipher
#

with rr

dusk token
#

not to mention raiders spawn on the train

flat cipher
#

they can pull the switch when youre at the door

dusk token
#

near*

weak sage
#

fair enough

dusk token
#

rr?

flat cipher
#

red rebel

dusk token
#

oh true

flat cipher
#

when you extract you split and go opposite directions

dusk token
#

is zsh with faceplate fine to run with gen4

#

or should I be opting for fast mt

flat cipher
#

faceshields dont really do a whole lot

#

so yes

bold kernel
#

the scav exits seem much easier

naive atlas
#

Penis helmet or ulach

#

I still use penis helmet

copper geyser
#

@flat cipher "you just get to a point where you enjoy the game enough to not care if you lose stuff"

Well how do you get there

dusk token
#

^

flat cipher
#

idfk

#

LOL

dusk token
#

LOL

flat cipher
#

just happened

copper geyser
#

I just died to a 3 man squad as a solo and it's kinda frustrating

#

there's basically nothing I can do except lose my gear

#

On top of having looted marked room

glass moon
#

does anyone else get low fps on reserve? i get 80+ on all maps other than reserve which i get a lot of stutters and frame drops

flat cipher
#

yes

naive atlas
#

When you run marked room you gotta expect stuff like that

copper geyser
#

Reserve FPS is ass

flat cipher
#

marked rushing is a risky business

#

u gotta be prepared to deal with the player that gets there or be able to run fast

#

xd

copper geyser
#

That's the only time I've run into a squad there lol, all the other times I get there like a minute late and marked room is already gone

flat cipher
#

mhm

copper geyser
#

Just unlucky I guess

flat cipher
#

theres like 3 spawns near both marked on reserve

#

and a couple near marked on customs

naive atlas
#

@copper geyser if its customs you can jump of the roof

flat cipher
#

^

copper geyser
#

True, I didn't think of that

naive atlas
#

Land on the fence though

flat cipher
#

you jump from the balcony onto the fire exit

#

or the fence

copper geyser
#

Is that pixel walk still there?

#

Where you can run from the roof to the stairs

flat cipher
#

no not afaik

copper geyser
#

damn

#

I saw someone do it not long ago

#

Broken as hell

flat cipher
#

no idea

#

ive never seen or heard about it

#

so

#

would assume so?

copper geyser
#

Yeah you can just run along the outside wall on the back side of customs

#

from the roof area with the lootbox

#

and onto the stairs

#

dunno if it's patched or not

glass moon
#

which one is the red laser sight?

#

or laser pointer, w/e they're called.

bold kernel
#

for what

tardy pond
#

How much more expensive is a vepr hunter over a vss?

split vapor
#

hunter bad

tardy pond
#

But its cheap and budget :P

split vapor
#

probs like 5-10k cheaper

tardy pond
#

Hmm, might aswell run vss then i guess

split vapor
#

dont expect hitting past 50m with the vss

tardy pond
#

Fair enough

#

Just need to start running more budget ciz ive been dying and losing alot of gear

split vapor
#

cause 9x39 ammo is like 290-300m/s

#

so that drop hits kinda past near 100m+

tardy pond
#

Hmm alright

split vapor
#

but dumping a mag into a dude next you is great

tardy pond
#

Yeah

#

I dont exactly know why im dying so much but its most likely awareness and just gamesense/ knowledge

dusk token
#

so my fear of gear fear was quickly relieved

#

game rewarded me with a ledx spawn

#

god bless tarkov gods

naive atlas
bold kernel
#

this is literally my favorite thing in life. Killed 3 people on dorms without getting hit once this thing does TO MUCH

#

and the gamma shit

frosty knoll
#

Anyone can help me learn and get loot

bold kernel
#

in a bit yeah

#

im doin customs pvp runs rn so I can't atm

#

added u

spark hawk
#

How do you get bigger containers?

native vessel
#

@split vapor Shootem bad

dusk token
#

how long does it take for a bitcoin farm to pay itself off?

fiery rover
#

@spark hawk you play or pay^^, paying means buying a higher version, EoD version gives gamma container.
Beta Container is PK lvl 4 barter (not worth)
epsilon is Punisher Pt 6 (prapor questline)
kappa container do all quests (or almost all quests) in the game to get that one

strange axle
#

bruh, you camping or what

spark hawk
#

Why you think I brought this tent

bold kernel
#

Tents should be a game item so you can camp with your buddies ;v

strange axle
#

can anyone explain to me why VSS is cheaper than VAL?

spark hawk
#

Make you loot logs and marshmallows to have s’mores

bold kernel
#

marshmallows - 500k rubles

spark hawk
#

Easy 1 mil

flat cipher
#

@strange axle cant get as high ergo

Guys im wondering does the buzzer when pressed have a 100% chance to spawn raiders?

#

or is it only like 50%??

flat cipher
#

i always thought

#

it was 100%

fossil oracle
#

how do i take out a certain amount of money?

sour plume
#

control click drag

fossil oracle
#

control click>

sour plume
#

if you hold control while dragging a stack it'll make you specify how much of the stack to drag

#

so you can split it that way

fossil oracle
#

another question is m61 ammo good?

split vapor
#

Meh

fiery rover
#

meh is the perfect fit 😄

#

it has high penetration so you penetrate everything almost all the time

split vapor
#

It’s only good against class 6

fiery rover
#

but its not a one tap type

split vapor
#

M80 is great at 5 and less

#

One taps 4 and below

graceful arch
#

where do I put my roubles so it actually stacks

#

when i sell stuff it just seems to go anywhere

#

and sometimes theyll all just go in my inventory seperately

stone surge
#

m80 doesn't onetap tier 4

#

damage gets reduced below 80

#

still decent round

bold kernel
#

Just lost a fight at extraction to a PING BATTLE

#

REEEE

#

perfect fps then the game basically crashes for bost of us

#

both

split vapor
#

Lol okay

#

Tell that to people wearing class 4 and dying with one hit

bold kernel
#

lol

#

Likes the mythical trigger delay once fake news it no go away

Hideout

knotty finch

hey guys what do i need to put a canted sight on ak ak-74m?

ocean canopy
#

@split vapor thanks

split vapor
#

Re great quality wiki

#

The other you can see on the wiki

#

Under the quest section

fossil oracle
split vapor
#

@knotty finch basically any hanguard that has a top rail

#

Then the ncstar back up mount

knotty finch
#

then i can put two sights?

split vapor
#

Si

ocean canopy
#

I found those images on Google, but they don't explain what they are for. I don't want to keep items that are end game because they'll provide more use by selling them. I doubt I'd reach end game at all

Escape from Tarkov Wiki

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.

Hey so Ive got all the reservw keys after selling all my unused gear and loot. Ive been making profits (about 500k - 1mil an hour) by hatchet running. Ive been going in with gear a few times but I always end up dying, so i dont see the point in bringing anything really, is that a common problem?

atomic knoll
#

Think scavs are tagging hatchlings now. See em actually sprinting to hatchlings to get rid of them

#

Even if scavs don't see them

Anyone know if vibrance gui is allowed?

I killed another level 5 with a crazy amount of gear.

#

Why do they keep doing this

surreal tiger

cuz they got big nutts

onyx zealot
#

Hey guys which traders quests take priority? Prapor first then who next?

atomic knoll
#

None really. Just do whatever

#

Cause u need the levels

#

Though I would advise to do the quest if several are in the same map

daring mauve
#

Does armor points affect how much damage will be blocked?

#

Or is it just armor class.

#

Armor points is the armor's "health" right?

atomic knoll
#

You are correct

daring mauve
#

Thanks!

#

i really like u guys. :<

#

:>

atomic knoll
#

I would recommend class 4 at minimum

#

It's not expensive and provide decent survivability

daring mauve
#

Thank you.

#

Buying armor from the Flea Market seems really inflated. Is it just better to buy from dealers?

atomic knoll
#

If you have them unlocked. Most lvl4 armors are on lvl2 traders

warped epoch
#

@daring mauve You're probably not going to have access from dealers for a while

atomic knoll
#

Lvl1 traders are usually barter

daring mauve
#

Yeah that's the problem.

warped epoch
#

Just stick to flea or do quests

atomic knoll
#

Take a look at 6b3tm

daring mauve
#

I've been making a killing in the market flipping, but that works both ways I suppose.

atomic knoll
#

It's around 50k ish

warped epoch
#

same with uley

#

the uley with multi-color is a class above tan, so make sure you buy the right one

daring mauve
#

ah ok. noted. thx thx

warped epoch
#

mhm

#

Class 3 is mosin meat

#

nom nom

daring mauve
#

Mosin is such cheese. I've taken down so much players because of it.

warped epoch
#

keep cheesin

atomic knoll
#

Mosinling on woods is how I complete most quests there

daring mauve
#

I need to kill 15 scavs in woods still. I've been scav running so much.

atomic knoll
#

Run a mosin and MAYBE a scav vest

#

Get it done ez

#

Keep ammo in secure container

warped epoch
#

@daring mauve dont' worry about that quest too much. Go for the quest delivery from the past and subsequent quests because you will receive upgraded container for punisher 6

atomic knoll
#

Only take it out if u need to reload

daring mauve
#

ah ok

#

someone just put a blackrock chest rig up for 9 k

#

ooof

#

someone grabbed before i could

warped epoch
#

check out the quest lines and see which quests will be worth to do

#

i.e rep with dealers is what you should be doing them for mostly

#

rewards are nice bonus but nothing major

daring mauve
#

i haven't had a lot of luck with delivery from past. i get got everytime.

warped epoch
#

punisher 6 is pog tho

daring mauve
#

red warehouse is just a happening place

#

y'know?

warped epoch
#

I can help you out

#

if yo uwant

daring mauve
#

I appreciate the offer. I'll add you on discord. I don't have time rn.

I'm not able to insure some of the stuff I have, is it bugged or is there a limit to how much stuff I can insure?

timber dock

There's a bug that occasionally stops you. Restarting your client will fix it.

atomic knoll
#

What stuff

#

Some stuff can't be insured

#

Like meds

#

Food

glass moon
#

if you disconnect from a raid by pressing esc and clicking disconnect will you get your stuff back?

#

cause I got the bug where u can't close the Inspect screen and half my screen was blocked. decided to get in a bush and restart the game but my dumb ass literally disconnected instead of alt-f4

atomic knoll
#

Probably not

atomic inlet
#

for future reference force the game to close instead of disconnecting and when you reopen it will let you reconnect to the match

sacred acorn

Went in with only hunter, and a backpack

No shit shujinko4434

@atomic knoll probably or are you sure

@glass moon If you disconnect from the raid as you described, no you will not get your stuff back.

gritty sentinel

hello, can anyone help me figure out how to level skier up from level 1 fast? it seems like it is taking forever

atomic knoll

Do his quest

#

To hit his required reputation and your level requirement

gritty sentinel
#

i need the currency amount and idk what he tends to buy

atomic knoll
#

Oh

#

Simple

#

It works both ways

#

You can buy his stuff and sell it back to him

#

Both buying AND selling adds up to the currency amount

#

So buy something and sell it back to him

#

Look for the one which you will lose the least amount of money

#

Do it x amount of time and you can hit the cash requirements in like 10 mins at most

you can get them through quest completion's from traders, you can buy them from the flea market or find them in marked rooms @bold kernel

atomic knoll

@bold kernel What type of containers? there are several

sacred acorn
#

but they are worth / cost a fortune for most of them

bold kernel
#

Ok thanks

sacred acorn
#

like the weapon container (1.8m) or Sicc case (15mill)

atomic knoll
#

@verbal summit 24-36 hours for prepor 12-24 hours for therapist

sacred acorn
#

the smaller ones like ammo cases, med cases, and money cases are cheaper (like 400k)

atomic knoll
#

Mag cases can be crafted

#

In the lavatory of all places rofl

sacred acorn

they can still save u quite a bit of room, just not anything like large s i c c cases

A number of them are also available as quest rewards.

just learning the game and getting some decant loot

i cant join vc right now but i can point you in the right direction

allright

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.

if you have any questions feel free to dm me

tardy kettle
#

do you gain anything while on offline mode?

bold kernel
#

no

tardy kettle
#

do you loose anything

bold kernel
#

but you also dont lose anything

tardy kettle
#

ok

bold kernel
#

so its a good way to start learning maps, exfils and loot spawns

tardy kettle

allright thx

hello i just got the game and idk anything in it so can anyone help me?

royal wind
#

@loud escarp If they dont have a visor go for the face. If they do, go for the legs.

loud escarp
#

aight thanks

royal wind
#

Obviously if they dont have armor just hit them in the chest.

copper geyser
#

in offline mode can you turn on raiders instead of scavs?

royal wind
#

You cant pick one or the other but if you do reserve or labs offline, you'll get raiders.

i killed 3 thicc boys in interchange but there was a 4th and i was solo :pepehands:

whats a good mid-long range scope then with no useless information on it? gotta use it on svd

I'll bring it on woods rn

I mean coming from a PU scope

That's like heaven

bold kernel
#

@timber dock thanks

#

I think I'll bring the 1p59 for woods

#

after all thats the map for it

atomic knoll
#

Have you tried 1p59?

#

Bought it?

bold kernel
#

I have them both in my inventory

#

I've tried in the hideout

atomic knoll
#

Try it out first

#

ok

#

Cycling it is a bitch

#

Let me tell u that

bold kernel
#

yeah with the red option

#

I feel like U must always be on red so you can cycle immediately

winter edge
#

Hey , where can i look for beginners groups ?

atomic knoll
#

I dislike the 1p59/69 due to cycling

#

In fact, I hate most variable sights

bold kernel
#

I would prefer if it just changed zooms yeah

#

but I kinda want a very long range zoom

pscavs don't yell in Russian, do they?

does anyone have any really good pvp loadouts ?

bold kernel
#

Hey guys

#

i bought a mosin and a scope how do i attach it?

honest tusk
#

Dont think that scope fits on a mosin

atomic knoll
#

A scope can not be fitted on the mosin infantry

honest tusk
#

Not with the standard stock atleast

#

Also yeh mosin inf

#

U need the sniper version

bold kernel
#

Damn no scopes on my gun ever

#

Ok is mosin inf any good to take into a raid

atomic knoll
#

Are you level 5 already?

#

Yes it is

honest tusk
#

Ye

bold kernel
#

No im so close to level 5

#

1 more raid but idk

atomic knoll
#

Hmmm just use the mosin as it is

bold kernel
#

I got a OPSKS and SKS in my last raid how good are they

honest tusk
#

Not bad

#

I like them

#

You can fit that scope on the op sks

#

I think

bold kernel
#

also when i go to shooting range, does it waste ammo?

honest tusk
#

No

atomic knoll
#

You have a shooting range?

#

pre lvl5?

bold kernel
#

no im just asking

atomic knoll
#

ok

#

Are you comfortable with bolt actions?

#

If yes, stick with the hunter mosin

bold kernel
#

ok

atomic knoll
#

If not, go for the SKS

#

For SKS, buy the 7.62x39 PS ammo from prapor

#

Do remember both SKS and mosin has no mag to reload with

#

They all reload in chamber

#

So SKS reloading can take ages

#

Whereas mosin has 5 ammo so it should be quite fast

#

I would recommend you to place those ammo in your secure container and only bring them out in your pockets to reload with

#

Then placing them back to your secure container

granite rivet
#

so servers garbo again?

bold kernel
#

im confused af

#

@atomic knoll that gun doesnt go on mosin inf

#

ammo*

atomic knoll
#

???

#

It's for sks

#

Mosin uses the LPS GZH

#

But the same thing applies

bold kernel
#

Oh yeah i already got that

#

So should i do pmc with sks

atomic knoll
#

IF you don't do PMC runs, you will never hit lvl 5

#

Scav and PMC XPs are separate

this is what i saw when i just got into a game, is this night time or did my stuff glitch?

copper geyser
#

I have 1.9 mil, is it worth it to buy a case? if so which ones

atomic knoll
#

Are you on EOD?

weak sage
#

you can buy some smaller cases for niche goods

#

like medcase isnt much and it will hold all your meds but i wouldnt invest heavily with a scav junkbox or anything

#

maybe like dogtag case or wallets

copper geyser
#

I'm standard edition

atomic knoll
#

i suggest junk box

weak sage
#

thats a heavy investment though

#

that would be basically all the money they have

copper geyser
#

1.4 mil from therapist level 2 so it's not like I'd be broke

#

Basically be back at the start money wise

atomic knoll
#

It's a good investment though

#

Since barter items are what is taking up space imo

#

And you can basically store it all in there

copper geyser
#

Honestly haven't been keeping barter items, so right now the only thing it would do would take up more slots without freeing up much

#

I have like a pile of meds and that's about it

atomic knoll
#

What's taking up your space then

copper geyser
#

Gear

atomic knoll
#

Sell?

copper geyser
#

lot of backpacks that can't stack cause they're full

atomic knoll
#

Full due to?

copper geyser
#

Gear

atomic knoll
#

Sell?

copper geyser
#

True, but I'd like to use it

atomic knoll
#

All of those gear?

copper geyser
#

Yeah, it's not like it's a lot of gear, it's just standard edition stash is really small

atomic knoll
#

I'm on standard and I disagree

#

It's enough

#

How much gear?

ancient falcon
#

are footsteps known to be unreliable?

#

I swear I always hear just 1 guy then I kill him and his teammate comes out of nowhere

copper geyser
#

Not sure exactly how much tbh, rigs that I mainly use as storage like Mk3, a few blackrocks, lots of backpacks

#

Maybe around 6 guns? can't count right now

#

maybe 6 pistols as well

ancient falcon
#

I was in the open. I was just sitting there for 1 minute and only heard 1 pair of footsteps running around. When he was close I killed him and his teammate who made no sound at all shot me out of nowhere

copper geyser
#

Could have been baiting?

ancient falcon
#

yeah but no one was near me. How could he have gotten so close to me just by walking slowly

#

I heard his friend running to me from like 20 m away

#

not to me but to my area

weak sage
#

sound is a known issue in the game

#

silent grenades and whatnot so possible footstep issues wouldnt be completely surprising

ancient falcon
#

they both were next to me even though I clearly heard 1 guy

#

yeah that's the only possibility

atomic knoll
#

@copper geyser 6 guns? Take out the attachments and sell them for now

#

Just buy again if you need them

copper geyser
#

is there a point in selling attatchements if they don't take extra slots?

fallen hollow
#

@copper geyser sell the rigs and stack the backpacks only buy new rigs when you need them cause they dont cost that much

atomic knoll
#

Oh I meant take out the attachments and sell the gun

#

Not take the attachments out and sell them

copper geyser
#

Mk3 adds a decent amount of slots though

atomic knoll
#

What level are you?

copper geyser
#

13

atomic knoll
#

tv-104 right?

copper geyser
#

?

atomic knoll
#

mk3 armored rig?

copper geyser
#

ah yeah

atomic knoll
#

Not tv-104?

#

tv-104 is the armored

#

Is this it?

copper geyser
#

Yes

fallen hollow
#

What stuff do you mainly have cluttering up your onventory

#

Inventory?

atomic knoll
#

Do you actually fill up everything?

#

I won't suggest this simply because it's money

copper geyser
#

Yes I fill up everything

fallen hollow
#

Dont

atomic knoll
#

Every raid?

#

Or off raid?

fallen hollow
#

Keep all backpacks operate and stack em up

#

And sell any non armoured rigs

copper geyser
#

and just buy rigs when I need them?

fallen hollow
#

Yes

copper geyser
#

That's a little scary but sure

atomic knoll
#

Not just rigs

#

Guns too

#

Armors too

#

What armor are you using currently?

copper geyser
#

I rarely survive so I just use whatever

#

6b13 right now

atomic knoll
#

See you could sell all of these

#

And buy an armored rig

#

It's basically a rig + armor in 1 slot for 1 price

#

Go for the 6b3TM

weak sage
#

basically qwuzzy dont save anything with no intention of using it

#

save nothing

copper geyser
#

See I do have the intention of using a lot of this, it's just hard

weak sage
#

yeah thats gear fear

atomic knoll
#

Unless you are gonna use them in the next raid, they are better off as cash for you

weak sage
#

so sell now and then you can always buy later

atomic knoll
#

So you can actually do something with it

copper geyser
#

It's not even gear fear either. it's just whether or not I think I'm gonna be able to preform well enough in a raid

timber dock
#

"This gun is too good for me, if I take it into raid I'd just die and lose it."

atomic knoll
#

That's gear fear

copper geyser
#

Yeah sure but I don't get sad whenever I lose gear

#

Might just be in denial though

atomic knoll
#

You don't have to be sad to have gear fear

weak sage
#

not sadness but being worried you shouldnt use it becauase you will lose it

atomic knoll
#

You just basically do not want to bring stuff into raid as "you think you are not gonna be able to perform well enough in a raid"

timber dock
#

I just assume any gear I equip is already lost and try to find the most entertaining way to lose it. 😛

copper geyser
#

Whenever I go in as a PMC I kinda hope to die so my stash doesn't suffer lol

#

I'll look and see what I can sell

timber dock
#

lol

atomic knoll
#

Why hope to die when you can just sell stuff to have cash instead???

timber dock
#

"I really hope I die this raid so I don't make it out with more gear and have to spend 50 minutes playing inventory tetris."

atomic knoll
#

Don't waste your gear

copper geyser
#

Because playing the game is fun

#

It's not like I'm throwing when I play, I just don't expect to extract

timber dock
#

It's not your gear.. it actually belongs to a sweaty Chad who's looking real hard for it.

copper geyser
#

Or the pistoling hiding in that bush you can't see through

#

should I disassemble weapons before selling them to mechanic or is that unnecessary

timber dock
#

Disassemble, sell to Skier, then leftovers to Mechanic.

copper geyser
#

Okay

atomic knoll
#

Hold on

#

Always check against flea

#

They could be worth more

timber dock
#

You might want to flea sights/suppressors.

atomic knoll
#

Make sure to take fees into consideration

copper geyser
#

MPX so i doubt it, but ill check

atomic knoll
#

Another tip

timber dock
#

You do want to sell to dealers, though, to at least make sure you've spent enough to level them.

atomic knoll
#

Which is probably an exploit

copper geyser
#

Yeah I try to sell to dealers when the flea market difference is only a few thousand

atomic knoll
#

Only disassemble when you are at mechanic's sell page

copper geyser
#

wasn't that patched?

atomic knoll
#

What was?

copper geyser
#

What you're recommending

atomic knoll
#

Do you know what it is?

copper geyser
#

Doesn't it not update the gun price?

atomic knoll
#

Yes

copper geyser
#

Thought it was fixed

atomic knoll
#

I just did it testerday

copper geyser
#

wack

bronze ice
#

Wasn't that just a visual bug?

copper geyser
#

Okay

atomic knoll
#

It is?

copper geyser
#

That's what I assumed

bronze ice
#

If we're talking about the same bug, yeah

copper geyser
#

I can test

bronze ice
#

I even reported it 😄

#

BSG said they know about it

atomic knoll
#

I feel so....deceived

copper geyser
#

yeah just a visual bug

bronze ice
#

That's karma for ya 5095_HyperBlob_On_Drug

#

How bad is luger cci

#

nvm it's really bad

timber dock
#

Only if you shoot armor.

weak sage
#

no thats actually good

#

copper geyser
#

Guess I'll put on flea

#

also is there a reason I can't turn in a can of beef stew for acquaintance quest

atomic knoll
#

It's the big one

timber dock
#

copper geyser
#

Ah okay

#

Or Jaeger gets hurt feelings.

copper geyser
#

jaeger only takes the best

atomic knoll
#

jaeger is an ass on rainbow six siege. He's worse here

copper geyser
#

If you guys are having me sell rigs where do I put loose items?

weak sage
#

in your stash

#

or sell them

timber dock
#

In your T H I C C Item Case, duh.

copper geyser

right next to your ruble lambo duh

Do it at night @devout whale

#

Less people

@devout whale Alternatively, haul ass if you get the close spawn.. or wait until the party at the dorms is over.

hard perch

game nor launcher will start, someone help pls

dusty yew
#

One fast question, when I am selling, on the right side, I see which level I should have for leveling up with the seller, how much gold to invest, and something that says I have 0.00 and I should have 0.15 or 0.25

#

What is that and how to improve that

atomic knoll
#

Your flea market rep

#

You + if you sell successfully

dusty yew
#

If I sell to sellers ?

atomic knoll
#

Sell on flea

#

Hold on

#

Are you referring to traders?

#

Like therapist etc

dusty yew
#

Yes, In therapist, Praport... etc... they ask for leveling up a quantity of money sold, a level of my player, and something else

atomic knoll
#

Oh that

dusty yew
#

I have it on 0.00

atomic knoll
#

To level traders

dusty yew
#

And they request me 0.25

atomic knoll
#

Yep

#

Trader rep

#

You need to hit that threshold to level to the next level of traders

#

Which sells better items

#

To increase rep, do quests

#

For the $

#

Buy/sell stuff to them

#

Lastly, would be your levels

#

All 3 requirements need to be met to level up to the next level of trader

#

Which usually means better stuff

dusty yew
#

That is the icon they ask me for 0.25 and I have 0.00

#

And I sold and bought stuff and still in 0.00

#

@atomic knoll

atomic knoll
#

No

#

That's trader rep

#

You gotta do quest

#

the $ sign is the buy/sell stuff

dusty yew
#

So, the only way for trader rep is making their missions? 😕

atomic knoll
#

Yes

dusty yew
#

It will be hard as hell then

Thank you so much

i throw that bag away

timer has ran out 10secs ago

#

but i still make it out???? why

#

it felt good but hurt same time

#

could i have ran to the cp fence too?

#

even tho extract timer had gone many seconds ago

#

what was that about??

split vapor
#

Once the main timer is over there’s like 10 seconds before it actually ends

bold kernel
#

i had more than 10secs i think

split vapor
#

So if you reach an exit at 0 you have time to exit

bold kernel
#

10secs was like i just made it to the sewer and then throwing my bag and waiting the another 8secs to extract

and it worked ?

when it was 0 i was in the middle of the yard
