@crisp crest PMC always spawns in fresh raids
as a scav you can spawn at random times currently its more likely to spawn at the end of an raid
Quite the opposite due to the unexpected increase in players there are still overload issues making the matching times long, BSG is hard at work to fix it, but apparently alone this weekend there where so many problems that they gifted each player 1million rouble as a gift
fluid bane
they might not be exit camping, just extracting but you are there so they kill you
fiery rover
i highly doubt that there are so many real exit campers, i think its more a case them extracting but hearing you coming and wanting another fight instead of extracting
woeful forum
@fast rivet thank you and you mean m80 right not m61 ?
next vessel
@split vapor
tell this to that guy at interchange with thermal you waited for me right next to the extract at 1 minute mark
dry vapor
twice in a row got killed in factory gate 03 where a guy was lurking in the corner, can empty a full mag of shitty ammo into him and he still kills me without twitching
fiery rover
or they had a prolonged fight with others at their spawn (your exit) and couldn't start going deeper into the map, of course exit campers exits and this is just personel but i have been killed by exit campers in 2 years of playtime 1 on interchange
@dry vapor factory is the only map with frequent exit campers since there is only 1 exit if you don#t have the factory key so on that map it is worthwhile but also easy to antizipate
dry vapor
guess i stop playing factory then
fast rivet
well your first issue was shitty ammo
dry vapor
good ammo is expensive

servers dead?
fiery rover
@crisp crest no its not but they reduced all raid times by 10 minutes some time ago customs was at 40 or 45 (not srue anymore) and now sits at 30/35 (whatever it is). as far as i know there can be 2 waves of pmc spawns but they spawn within 1 minute (but that also just might be that people have a really shitty pc and the game on an hdd so they take 1 minute longer to load not sure though)
steel sphinx
error 502 again
fiery rover
@old ledge skier sells that one
white horizon
so this new ninja patch, makes hatchlings tagged and marked. do we know if rats are marked too?
fiery rover
@old ledge UNV DLOC-IRD Mount for sights thats for the REAP-IR thermal mount to put it on any weapon
naive atlas
how would the game know if you are a rat or chad
fiery rover
@white horizon my guess would be no because taking a pistol is a legit way to play the raid, a Five seven is strong enough to kill mid-geared players easily so i doubt it and of course how do you decide if you are a rat or a chad or like myself a honeybadger
junior yacht
uhh server crash?
white horizon
my roommate is trying to test it out in offline mode. they took a pistol in and they think it still is marking them.
tacit knot
@white horizon for now it seems to be only hatchlings. playstyles wont be able to be tagged. but it COULD be possible to tag people by overall gear value or having a primary weapon or not
white horizon
here's another thing though
are you tagged as a hatchling if you bring a backpack with a gun in it
fiery rover
no
white horizon
trying to learn this stuff for science lol
elder crypt
It doesn't mark you if you have a gun of any sory
sort*
there are plenty of test vids out already
white horizon
so if you come in raid, with it in your bag, and not equipped. you're not a hatchling.
how are there test vids out already. this JUST happened o-o
elder crypt
correct, because if you die you are still losing your gun
the vids came out yesterday dude
give me a sec and i'll find it
fiery rover
hatchling is a name for people who don't go with a gun into a raid thats why they are called hatchling^^
white horizon
I'm aware why they are called that
I'm referring to how the system is tag and cursing you
elder crypt
That one is from yesterday
I'm all for it though
No one should be coming into a raid with nothing
but coming in with just a pistol is fine imo
at least then you have a chance if you encounter someone
I want them to make the change they've been discussing where your secure container is only for items being brought in
white horizon
the only thing that bothers me on this whole "tag and curse hatchlings" is they are literally adding scavs that are hatchlings.. that sneak around and assassinate you
elder crypt
and you can't stash loot in your ass
fiery rover
what i would like to know not seen the video yet, do you still get tagged if you get a gun in the raid
elder crypt
I would imagine you would die before you found a gun laying around tbh
fiery rover
what if a mate brings me my gun into the raid
elder crypt
its not just having a gun though
white horizon
and yet you're telling me, that you couldn't try t hat playstyle as a PMC now xD
elder crypt
they tested having just armor and such too
I can't remember completely, but I think if you are wearing armor you aren't tagged either
pliant plank
i heard that u could just carry a sling and be fine is that wrong
elder crypt
Honestly though instead of looking for ways around it, just play the game. Money is so easy to come by there is no reason not to have at least some gear in a raid.
pliant plank
what if u enjoy the playstyle of zero to hero
white horizon
honestly though the loot being in fixed spots is the issue not hatchlings.
elder crypt
Then buy the cheapest armor and pistol and go in
most aren't doing zero to hero, they're going into tech and trying to shove all the loot up their ass before actual raid players can get there.
elder crypt
and I say that as someone that did that strat when I first started playing 3 weeks ago
I didn't care if I died
I already had 2 graphics cards and a tetriz up my ass
bold kernel
This One
elder crypt
It's decent @bold kernel
white horizon
but even geared people do that, run tech and shove it up their arse.
they just don't rush it as fast due to gear fear.
bold kernel
Since i cannot check it RN any est. Value?
white horizon
or movement limit
naive atlas
they are risking gear
elder crypt
I agree, but at least if you are geared the other players are getting something other than experience for killing you
naive atlas
and actually playing the game
elder crypt
hatchlings risk nothing
I would go in with nothing and take all the good loot and wait for the actual players to show up
because I wanted to die
so I could do it again
it's dumb
fiery rover
@thick kiln because of the stock
white horizon
when watching the trailer for this game, seeing the idea of stealth killing, that's a legit style i'd like to play. but like.. that's basically hatchling.
naive atlas
they should just remove barter items going into secure containers
then people can hatchling all they want
thick kiln
what stock do i need @fiery rover
elder crypt
They should just remove any found in raid items from going in secure
you should have to risk all loot
elder crypt
and bring in more heals and stuff in secure
thick kiln
@fiery rover this one ?
elder crypt
Your secure container should just be your guaranteed non-loss stuff from your initial loadout
white horizon
to an extent I like the idea of at least being able to have SOME money made so being able to stuff into secure container.
elder crypt
it shouldn't be somewhere you can store valuable loot from the raid and no one can touch it
fiery rover
the tri-rail sould work the kochetov won't since its an infantry mosin, the kochetov only works on sniper mosin
elder crypt
or force it to only allow 1x1 in raid items
white horizon
it's not that it shouldn't it's that the loot needs to be more dynamic
split vapor
Well that’s the infantry mosin so yeah
elder crypt
as most really valuable stuff is larger than a 1x1
save keys and keytool
off the top of my head
white horizon
the issue isn't stuffing your arse with loot. (it's pretty small overall) it's the fact a lot of this loot is fixed locations
elder crypt
that's true too
white horizon
which creates specifically rushed points.
elder crypt
if high value loot wasn't just laying around it might be better
like if graphics cards had to be found by searching a case or something it would discourage hatchlings
elder crypt
because while you are searching someone is going to be on their way to you
naive atlas
like most of the time
elder crypt
but right now it's too easy to get high value loot for little risk
fiery rover
problem is that keys have a fixed spawn so hatchligns just take a documents case full of keys and go loot that places
naive atlas
nah even with dynamic loot people will still hatchling because of the no risk factor
fiery rover
and rush the key spots
elder crypt
I can go into reserve right now with no armor and a huge rig and loot for 8 minutes and be out in sewer manhole with 500k in loot pretty regularly
fiery rover
tbh reserve should be locked behind some mechanism
elder crypt
owning the RR
fiery rover
either specific gear must be equipped or lvl or something else
currently its too lootrich without any risk
naive atlas
most of the hatchlings i see are high lvl
elder crypt
you should have to own the red rebel and maybe an entry keycard like labs
because there is way too much good loot there for there to be no requirements
elder crypt
and the extracts are easy to do once you are familiar with them
elder crypt
sewer manhole makes cliff descent unnecessary if you plan ahead of time and bring a large rig to loot with instead of a backpack
white horizon
but those rigs don't help for like military batteries
elder crypt
well yeah, but I can skip those and still make a ton of money
if I want mil batteries I'll gear up to leave via cliff descent
if I just want money though I'm looking for 2 slot and less high value items
like intel, paracords, etc.
white horizon
btw. do you know why mp-22 is more valuable than mp-21?
white horizon
I meant the keys
white horizon
I have the higher value key, but like I checked the room out in offline mode, the 2 weapon racks is nice and all, but like the mp-21 having a guaranteed ( i think that's what the wiki indicated) M.battery instead of a chance of one in mp-22.
elder crypt
there are more weapon racks in 22
yeah
honestly key values are weird
like military checkpoint key on customs I sold for 180k
it's a garbage loot spawn
it was empty 9 of 10 times I unlocked the door
and the one time there was loot it was like a AK VEPR
white horizon
yea I just spawned in with the key, and made it out alive. then looked it up and was like... welp.. neat! and keeping it
but just checking the room offline mode, didn't seem like it was so valuable.
elder crypt
yeah if you find the keys there is no hurt in keeping it
fast rivet
offline mode has decreased spawns
elder crypt
but I don't like to buy many keys unless they are must haves
white horizon
my rule of thumb is
keep all keys, sell copies
I do wish though when you tag a keytool and put in the name.. it actually showed the name >.>
it doesn't.. it just shows the colour.

some vendors, you can buy some stuff from flea market and sell to trader for about same or even more yea, know that you can atleast do this easy with skier and therapist
elder crypt
Some are easier than others, but yeah buying stuff and selling it back works
analog fulcrum
@old ledge well, ya cant overdose, but ibuprofen is a painkiller from what I remember, so it should let you sprint while on it, which will slowly kill you if you got broken legs

Scav runs

fastest way to level up is completing tasks, try and complete more than one task at the same time.

Just focus on getting out. For early weapons.

@sacred acorn what exactly is the question about raiders?
sacred acorn
i was wondering, so i know that (on reserves) when the buzzer is pressed they 100% spawn right?
azure lily
Ok, I suck at this game. lol
proper ginkgo
@azure lily Factory isn't great loot but it's great for practicing pvp, kind of. You wont be getting much practice as a scav though. I would recommend interchange for better loot than customs or reserve
Look up guides
azure lily
Is there a map anyone suggests besides customs? I get murdered like 75% of the time there.
sacred acorn
reserve
proper ginkgo
But yeah I hear that customs isn't great loot
azure lily
Interchange is the mall one right?
white horizon
I don't think it's 100% but they have a chance to spawn each time the button is used.
azure lily
I have ran it a few times as a scav.
sacred acorn
its just a chance?
proper ginkgo
Its not
white horizon
and they have a chance to spawn when the train arrives.
proper ginkgo
Just a chance to spawn raiders
white horizon
but obv, you can just hit the button. go check.. no raiders? wait... hit button again.. repeat
iirc
somber needle
i already died 
proper ginkgo
@azure lily Yes the mall. Oli is great loot and there are tech stores that also have great loot but generally oli is where its at. Look up guides they will show you loot runs
white horizon
currently raiders are only in reserve and labs. but they are coming to interchange with the KIBA update at some point
where KIBA will have an alarm that spawns raiders and killa.

can someone help me level strength to 3?
seems like bashing some legs for a few minutes is the fastest way how long does that take?
royal wind
Powerleveling methods like that don't really work as efficiently Dark. You're better off just running around while overweight.
brittle gate
wtf, where do you get that from
it's far faster to level up strength by power leveling it from hitting a friend's legs
"running" doesn't even level strength whether overweight or not
walking does
fallen hollow
you dont level up strenth from hitting a friend
brittle gate
you do considering I've done it this patch (v12)
fallen hollow
well it didnt work for me
brittle gate
because you quit the raid, you need to leave or die
royal wind
Running levels strength, sprinting doesnt.
fallen hollow
i did
brittle gate
well obviously telling someone to run around creates confusion

fluid cave
thank you
brittle gate
you can get to level three in 20 minutes from hitting a friend's legs
versus weeks of playing
one is clearly faster
royal wind
lol, weeks
bold kernel
in which map do you guys suggest me to complete punisher 6?
royal wind
People are ridiculous here.
brittle gate
you could easily be a noob at this game and not have lvl 3 strength after weeks
royal wind
Yeah if you only play your scav.
brittle gate
even half the time
royal wind
I had 3 strength before i even got to the point of leveling Vents 3.
brittle gate
running doesn't level it up and most noobs do a lot of hatchet runs, clearly without being overweight
so yeah, weeks
royal wind
You're making an awful lot of assumptions.
brittle gate
what, that people use scavs and when they're new they can't go in with a ton of shit because they lose it all?
royal wind
If you play the game like normal, and loot and extract and just play the game. You're going to level strength just fine.
brittle gate
that's an extremely common scenario
royal wind
Nothing in this game requires cheesing and powerleveling.
brittle gate
maybe once you're decent enough at the game to go in with gear
royal wind
Well, maybe the stress quest takes a bit longer than it should.
But 3 strength is a joke to get.
royal wind
Just fucking throw a grenade or two and loot shit you find. It's not that hard.
brittle gate
it's like you've never been new or played with a new person or something
royal wind
We were all new at one point. I didnt do a bunch of naked raids. Probably why I leveled strength just fune.
bold kernel
this is my first wipe and my strenght wasn't 3 until like lv 25
bold kernel
I do scav alot and hatchet run when I have to do some quests but never to like loot
brittle gate
pigeons is so out of touch with reality on this
royal wind
Oh please. Level 25 is an adequate level for you to start hitting max modules in your hideout.
You dont need that shit at level 15.
brittle gate
what does that have to do with anything
brittle gate
exactly
royal wind
My point is, by the time you NEED level 3 strength. If you play the game normally you'll already have it.
brittle gate
well apparently normally to you is not the way most new players play
royal wind
When it came time for me to upgrade Vents 3 I already had 3 strength.
So I didnt need to get a knife and whack my buddies legs.
bold kernel
oh no I tried to power level it a little bit
royal wind
Well clearly, you did a lot of hatchet runs and didnt use any equipment if that's how you feel most new people play this game.
bold kernel
I went in every raid with like 2 destroyed untar armors in my backpack that kept returning because nobody looted them
brittle gate
I've done maybe 5 hatchet runs this wipe, even near the start I normally used at least a pistol, but yes no armour as most new people don't
royal wind
Ok, stick to your assumptions and powerleveling if thats what you need to do.
brittle gate
lool
rustic obsidian
wat
royal wind
Just saying, it's not required. And all I said to begin with was its not as efficient as it once was.

just play a map that you know you can encounter PMCs in?

tiny laurel
and you will avoid the one or two only geared people in the map

I got like 5 millions worth of equip by killing them during pun.5
tiny laurel
keep going
karmic meadow

svd twotaps people at max

if you really hate factory ten reserve i guess with no backpack so you can take the sewer manhole

servers r up
karmic meadow
or rush the big rock next to the RR extract and snipe all the hatchling looting around
tiny laurel
off topic
if you guy ever see a scav with a knife in hand doing hand gestures next to scav land exit
thats most likely me trying to get it
x)
bold kernel
I kinda like factory runs when they go right because extracting is easy
but I think pun5 was also easy for me because I always went in with light loot so I had no gear fear beside the bullets
svd costs a little bit and I would go with nice armor
bold kernel
it's 60k just the base
tiny laurel
thats not much
bold kernel
svd has a chance of spawning on factory outside the office
tiny laurel
and you dont really need any mopd
excepted for a sight

@devout sapphire you can find people to help you ingame on the discord i linked above
devout sapphire
thanks
bold kernel
yw
and you dont really need any mopd
@tiny laurel fugg I fully modded one now with silencer aswell ahah
tiny laurel
i mean
nothing prevents you to full mod it if you like it
but a tock svd + sight according to where you play
does the job
tiny laurel
it does
im personally not a fan of snipers with the canted sight '' just in case''
id rather have a pistol
bold kernel
sometimes you dont have the time to draw the pistol
tiny laurel
but yeh if you want, just do an offline run on facto with a stock svd and see how it goes for aiming
bold kernel
where do I bring this bad boi tho
tiny laurel
thats a positionning mistake
bold kernel
or do I just resell the parts
tiny laurel
anywhere youwant
in tarkov everything depends of what, where and how you wanna play
all the rest is pointless arguments
if you need svd kills
take the svd you want
on the map you want
find a spot suited for you kit
and kill
its seems very simplistic said like that
but thats the exactreason every game of tarkov is different and intense
even all the ''meta'' and ''best weapons/mods'' thing you can see/ read
it doesnt matter much unless you really want to min max for those 10 recoil control points
which will barely affect you
bold kernel
yeah the important part is having max rifle and control recoil skills when it was easy to get them
Kapp
tiny laurel
no
the important point is to jsut play and leatrn how to not die with different kits
you can kill anyone with almost every weapon if you know about ammo and aiming
drifting plume
Is this chat just for question or can this be used to look for other players to play with? I'm super new, only level 7 with like 20 raids but only like 3 survived lol
bold kernel
I think I'll try woods and take it slow and try to do the quests
drifting plume
@tiny laurel 3/20 mate, more likely 2/20. I just can't remember lol Thanks tho, I'll go check out that chat
tiny laurel
yeh misread
even tho
i have 12% survival rate
at level 25
and my stash is still full of guns i keep selling or using to make room
drifting plume
My stash is full of space lmao
tiny laurel
enjoy the space while you habve it haha
it wont last, most likely
most beginners end up hoarding every single bit they find because ultimately everything can have value and they dont know what has big value
and its normal
drifting plume
I'd rather it be full and not worry about losing things, instead of being terrifed of losing things causeI have nothing to replace it
tiny laurel
thats how it does
you can buy kits for very cheap
find yourself a money run
and with the secure container, even the 4slots one
you ll make money

Is Altyn a good choice for woods? To avoid getting dinked by a mosin with lps ammo, but I wll have no sound
jovial starBOT
bold kernel
no I know I wont be dinked, I mean if its good for the map in general
tiny laurel
check here for the class armor you want against the ammo you hate
altyn makes you blind and deaf, your choice
royal wind
I would say if there was any map that was good for a deaf helmet it'd be woods. Footsteps arent AS important in that map since everybody is sniping.
rustic obsidian
How important are the headphone thingies? Like essential?
pliant plank
is my hideout bugged? says i cant craft something but i have all materials
@rustic obsidian theyre pretty damn important for sure
royal wind
I wont use a helmet that doesnt let you use them Knugster.
Some people dont care though.
tiny laurel
@rustic obsidian depends, do you think hearing footsteps in facto/labs is crucial ?
rustic obsidian
Yeah, I'm LVL seven so I'm not stepping a foot in there with SKS @tiny laurel
rustic obsidian
Yes, but I was just saying I'm not going to be in labs anytime soon
brittle gate
headphones are the most important piece of gear in the game if you play solo/duo
pliant plank
why are u using SKS just wondering
tiny laurel
you could learn the map offline and then go with budget gear to make money tho, thats a hella lucrative run if you have knoiwledge
rustic obsidian
I like the sks, throw on 20 mag and a acogish scope
tiny laurel
you can onetap full geared ppl with a 40k gun and the right ammo, nothing prevents you from going anywhere you d like
pliant plank
hunter is so good
brittle gate
hunter is like a good sks
pliant plank
hunter is best budget weapon in the game IMO
just slap an OKP-7 on it
m80 rounds
take down full kit players
granite rivet
going in with a mosin and getting kills with it for loot is actually pretty nice
granite rivet
you can just toss it in a corner after you get a kit swap

granite rivet

granite rivet
yuup
tiny laurel
thats a 10/10 to me
granite rivet
so much value
tiny laurel
and distance isnt a problem if you can aim too, so little drop
violet marlin
@tiny laurel reading back through the comments, I would take headphones and no helmet to labs. If the raiders are beamed on your face your dead anyways. Most people take mid-high tier ammo there that will pen class 4 and maybe class 5. Most helmets are 4 anyways same with face shields. Waste of 80k imo when you're gonna grab one from a raider anyways
violet marlin
Agreed. You can hear snakes with them too. My personal pref
tiny laurel
but helmets arent really THAT much useful that youd take them as budget kit
excepted for the ragman lvl1
17k for high ricochet chance
violet marlin
The lv3 from rag is ok
tiny laurel
i wouldnt buy any other helmet
violet marlin
Lv 2 rag has one that covers the nape for like 6k more
tiny laurel
and headset is personnal prefs, i dont like them much excepted for the sordins
and i dont feel the need to buy them, only if i have leftovers
violet marlin
Tac sports are my fav
royal wind
If all you care about is ricochet chance just buy a shattered facemask. Looks cool and ricochets. Boom.
granite rivet
tactical sports are weird to me
violet marlin
I'll buy those over a helmet
granite rivet

Did the guy in the video exploited the use of stats to check if he killed the guy that he threw a nade at?

If yes, why is it a thing?

Depends on how you have your sound set up. It's different for everyone
tiny laurel
@cunning pilot inspect dogtag and read, its written
rustic obsidian
so u say hunter over the sks?
violet marlin
No
tiny laurel
yeh
cunning pilot
@tiny laurel?
royal wind
There's a task to kill PMCs with nades. He may have checked using that.
tiny laurel
unless you have sks hanging around for nothing
cunning pilot
You're out of context
rustic obsidian
Okay I'll try it out
violet marlin
Sks with bp. You can mod and buy one for 100k. Do they use the same rounds?
tiny laurel
lemme watch
rustic obsidian
I like the sks, throw the big mag and a scope on it
cunning pilot
I see him throwing a nade and quickly checking his kill count
So you can basically check if you kille dsomeone by pressing ESC and go to stats»
?
If you know your previous kill number
tiny laurel
timing?
cunning pilot
Pretty sure thats what he did in the video
raven mica
I guess it’s possible? I’ve never done it personally
granite rivet
i wouldnt think thats a thing
raven mica
Usually you know if someone is dead by audio
granite rivet
ive seen the task confirmation
rustic obsidian
How is the VSS?
granite rivet
but not going into stats
granite rivet
yeah its good but expensive ammo
rustic obsidian
What ammo do I get for it?
raven mica
I mean sp6 is competitive in price compared to Nato
cunning pilot
from 0:10 to 0:22 - He throws a nade, pick and sees the guy stopped shotting, quicly presses Alt TAB go to his stats and acts like he's alone not worrying anymore about the fight he as having
raven mica
I’d use that personally
bold kernel
I hate woods
tiny laurel
and no kill
tiny laurel
he just bugs oob in a wall or something to unload them
raven mica
Woods KEKW
cunning pilot
he throws a nade at 0:06

Its a flash

thats a flash
bold kernel
even factory is better than woods
royal wind
He threw it accidentally.
tiny laurel
he missclicked a flash instead of opening door
cunning pilot
oh
royal wind
He wasnt trying to kill somebody.
rustic obsidian
after the ssh-68 helmet, which one is the "next step"
tiny laurel
that might actually be what allowed him to unload wallks honestly

@raven mica yes

any tips on how to go about doing this?
raven mica
FeelsBadMan
bold kernel
indeed
@bold kernel I'm trying to do the same, I'll try to go on factory
I did p.5 in factory
tiny laurel
@bold kernel get a svd and shoot people, its a great weapon
raven mica
I pretty much do Factory for any pmc kill task
bold kernel
SVD on factory seems like a horrible idea
raven mica
Easiest imo
royal wind
Customs isnt terrible for that one either. Plenty of PMC encounters there.
tiny laurel
its not
raven mica
Nah SVD is really nice mid and short range
tiny laurel
not worst than on any other map
raven mica
Bring big mags and reserve ammo
tiny laurel
just dont take a vudu scope on it
raven mica
Use it like an M1A pretty much
bold kernel
hmm ok
tiny laurel
it 2 taps class 6 armor in the chest, 1 tap anyone in the game in the head
bold kernel
the poor ergonomics and recoil is the only awful thing especially unmodded
but if you mod it it becomes too expensive
shut apex
Any EU people wanna duo? I'm cool with walking new players through things or whatever
rustic obsidian
if you can handle my shittyness, sure
royal wind
Factory is the fastest way if you dont care about the risk of losing the gun. Run in, kill a few PMCs, extract. There's only 5 other PMCs. After 5-10 minutes youre mainly fighting scavs.
bold kernel
only 5 pmcs?
royal wind
yeah, factory only spawns 6 PMCs.
tiny laurel
he s right on time for you guys

my settings are high but for some reason on maps with foliage like customs anything a little far away is so blurry

I find it weird that 2-3 youtubers seem to be doing the punisher quests at the same time as me lmao
of course they will do it in 1/4 of the time it takes me
wtf pestily is so lucky
royal wind
It's Pest's 2nd account that he uses for his raid series.
royal wind
I think it's more that he knows where all the spawns are in every map, so he knows where to check for players quickly.
bold kernel
I mean specifically the hatchlings
royal wind
Ah, instead of people with guns.
bold kernel
it does happen sometimes
I mean I already said my rooms are always full of sweaty bois so
royal wind
I remember somebody posting a glitched Shoreline spawn. All 12-13 players spawned on top of each other.
royal wind
Maybe 5 had gear. The rest were hatchlings.
bold kernel
fuck
I'm not doing p6 then
Shoreline is usually like 50% hatchlings/moslings/pistolings
I guess
royal wind
Didnt even bother modding it out because it costs too much if I lost one.
bold kernel
everyone ends up converging on the saw mill

I tried woods at first, ended up getting sniped before I could spot anybody so I figured I'd use it in more close quarters.

doing some PvE runs on Reserve to get to know the map, learn the controls better, and learn to actually click on heads and its really a great way to learn (for me at least)
doing hard difficulty scavs and as normal amounts
anyone got some combat tips?
i know to use Q+E to minimize the amount of area i have when being shot at
as well as "click on head"

theres a lot of diff controls to have more freedom on you character
alt + r.click to change scope modes
ctrl + r.click to swap scope if you have 2
alt + Q/E to step left/right
some much more
hold C and scroll mouse is the most useful to me i think

why do fuel conditioners sell for so much? is it just for the rr trade?

It's really not unknown that the SVD is one of the best guns in the game Knox. I've always wondered why it was so cheap.
tiny laurel
@earnest torrent better chances on #pvp-lfg
yeh im just joking
but more time goes, and the more i only see thiccbois with metaguns

Can someone make me a sniper loadout with the armour etc. Recently I’ve been spending 800k+ on my loadouts. I would like the loadouts to be around 400k. I will pay if you want.
blissful lagoon
Stock SVDS, NF riflescope, put a canted sight on it, tactec, ulach, comtac
Should be around 400k
Idk the prices off the top of my head but it's a solid loadout that'll work at mid to long range and can hold its own at close range
If you wanna skip the tactec, go killa armor for the repairability and go 10 rounds mags in your pockets
But that way you can't carry nades so it's your choice
Although tactecs are cheaper
old ledge
I don’t even carry nades
blissful lagoon
Start carrying nades, they're good for pushing
blissful lagoon
Why would Killa gear not be good?
old ledge
Because you can’t really see

You don't need the helmet
Anyhow, for sniping, you don't need peripherals

I hate AK's I can't find a good weapon to play, killed a guy yesterday that had it, took it and managed to kill another dude
And I enjoyed the weapon
somber needle
wait doesnt the faded blue in the recoil tab signify your old recoil?
did you cut the recoil in half? damn
my reccomendation (again, im a noob at this game) is to go into a offline raid with no bots and just spray a wall real quick
see if the recoil is to your liking, try and shoot short/mid/long range
at least a mag each range just so you can get a feel for it
if it's managable for you and you firmly believe you're decent with the recoil, go for it. if its not managable for you, keep modding it more
