@verbal summit smack bugged scavs with a hatchet
static furnace
Known issue
vagrant lava
is this good scav loot? its my 4th scav run and last 3 i managed to extract but without as much goodies as this. twice i've evaded heavily geared PMC duos with silenced vals
i do customs a lot, should i be focusing certain areas while avoiding others? I usually go by sound but i've noticed school is heavily populated
static furnace
It's a bit on the low side, don't hesitate to hunt some scavs
vagrant lava
i escaped with 1min left and it said i did it "too early"
static furnace
For loot with a scav, there's garage, factory, silo and stashes
vocal leaf
it doesnt matter how late u go out , it matters what u are doing @vagrant lava like killing / searching / hunting 🙂
vagrant lava
ahh ok. got it
static furnace
You always do it too early, there's no such thing as an extract on time :p
vocal leaf
me and a friend was doing 30+ mins on costums and still told us too early 😄
vagrant lava
yea. some said i should invest in med stain for my first money
static furnace
@vagrant lava If I were you, i'd sell all the mags you got there. Only keep max 3 at a time, including one in the pistol
vagrant lava
ok
static furnace
sell the black knives to Fence too
vagrant lava
can i do the first prapor quest with scav? (kill 5 scavs at customs) even when i die during?
waxen forge
You cannot do kill tasks with a scav
peak thistle
Im still fairly new to the game but what helped me is learning the map through youtube popular spots for PMC's and other areas also learning loot prices to try to get the most bang for your buck on on scav runs
vagrant lava
yea im learning a map at a time and so far customs isn't so bad. but i might add factory or shoreline into the mix
ok
static furnace
My only objective as a SCAV is either run for precious accessible loot first (depending on spawn time), or trying to kill other players. Since you don't have keys, there's so much you can do
waxen forge
You do not need keys for loot on interchange
Killing players will not get you the most valuable loot
static furnace
On customs, kinda :p
vagrant lava
yea i tend to avoid players if i can and loot first
waxen forge
Gear/weapons is worth far less per square than the tech/hardware
Don't scav on customs.
vagrant lava
but i'm having issues gauging how liberal i can be farming a spot
waxen forge
Customs is not a loot map .... not compared to Interchange/Reserve
vagrant lava
ok
waxen forge
To get loot on customs you have to get into the locked rooms.
vagrant lava
when do i get to play my PMC? i feel if i load in with a pistol or even a shitty Smg i won't have anything to show for
static furnace
It's still interesting to use scav runs to learn the ropes of a map IMO
waxen forge
There are a few weapon crates around but those are not that valuable and once again Gear/Weapons is worth far less per square than tech/hardware
vagrant lava
like. whats the goal of going pmc early?
waxen forge
Doing tasks
peak thistle
Leveling up your PMC will unlock quests from the vendors
static furnace
IMO, always go PMC except if you are short on heals and money, in which case you can alternate with scav.
waxen forge
Yes you can use scav to learn a map @static furnace However low levels need to earn $ to replace the gear they lose...so we recommend Interchange/Reserve to make $
static furnace
Makes sense
vagrant lava
so you recommend learning interchange
vagrant lava
o.o
waxen forge
Don't even have to fire a shot if you stick the the back of Oli and loot hardware then the Oli PC's and back of Goshan and then get back out.
vagrant lava
ohhh lm check map
waxen forge
If your goal is to make $ then no reason to kill other scavs or fight PMC as that loot (gear/weapons) will be far less per square than the tech/hardware.
vagrant lava
they look bad compared to the ones of customs
waxen forge
If you have plenty of $ then use your scav as you choose.
vagrant lava
yea. but i'm afriad of scav intervention when pmc due to my low gear early on
waxen forge
The cache are one way to make $
However they are random loot. Could be really good or could be junk
Running guaranteed tech/hardware spawns makes much more sense.
vagrant lava
these interchange maps are bad. i'll just learn it cerebrally
waxen forge
It's a hard map to represent in map form since it's a big shopping mall
bottom floor is parking garage
waxen forge
Then you have main floor and top floor of stores.
peak thistle
If you dont want to learn through images on the maps you can youtube it from different youtubers to see the callouts
vagrant lava
yea good idea
waxen forge
Can always just run it offline mode
vagrant lava
in addition to offline mode
peak thistle
^
waxen forge
To practice and see it for yourself
One problem with Youtube vids will be the need to check the date.
Some things spawn in different places than they did a year a go.
vagrant lava
i got a makeshift crappy vepr? so imma try to do budget run with silenver or sth
peak thistle
go for it if your super broke pistol runs can always get you something
peak thistle
if you use the basic pistols and are able to kill some scavs you could get two guns from them its not going to be alot of profit at first
but over time it adds up
waxen forge
Depending on the map though (Interchange) reserve the $ to be made is not in gear/weapons but tech/hardware. You can get a weapon from a dead guy for your second slot and if you went in pistol another rifle too but fill the bag up with Military cable, electric motors, cell phones.....tech/hardware.
vagrant lava
whats the least pvp map?
waxen forge
Back of Olie can be a bit busy early on but you can usually get in grab the stuff off the back shelves and go into the PC hallway without being noticed.
then back hallway of Goshan for more hardware and back out to Emercom exit.
Maybe check TexHo and Techlight right outside Oli but you don't need to do that to make 200-300K
vagrant lava
ok
regal tide
rasmussen worth going into?
waxen forge
People get blinded by the flash loot like Tetriz/GPU but you do not need to get those thinks to make consistent money.
Yea Rasmussen is good
floral nexus
if thers someone here who could just watch me play and help guide me that would be a blessing, first time playing this game lol
waxen forge
So is German next to Voyage (across from mantis).
My advice to all new people. 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.
@floral nexus Go live. I'm sure people will stop in.
cold swallow
Valuable things you can sell that arent very hard to get?
vagrant lava
ok
peak thistle

waxen forge
Yes it's only 10K but it's 1 square
vagrant lava
NICE ty
waxen forge
I usually make 300-500K per money run on Interchange.
vagrant lava
i need lvl 5 to do flea market so i can deck out my wep
peak thistle
Yea from your screen the HD's are fine but if you found the CPU, Wires and stuff are worth more and take less space if you find them
vagrant lava
so imma do pistol runs now and get the first quest
waxen forge
If you are level 5 I would worry more about learning maps, PMC/Scav behavior. Tactics/pathing and such than decking a weapon.
vagrant lava
ok go it
waxen forge
I'll take a veteran with a non-modded basic weapon over a rookie with a decked out kit any time.
Experience is key not gear
vagrant lava
cuz many times i fail to extract and even with map sometimes i take a lot of times
like im very cautious cuz i play siege alot
waxen forge
Cautious is good
mint hawk
@vagrant lava best to start heading for the exit when timer turns red
waxen forge
Just not too cautious as in you are crouched in the middle of a field

Emercom is out back of Oli to the right corner of the map
Railway is out the front door of Idea to the front right corner of the map near some railway cars

can you have military battery in your secure?
split vapor
Yeah
unique willow
so thats gonna be a nice way to level up strenght right?
split vapor
Eh
Power leveling is basically not a thing anymore
Leveling a skill too fast too quickly adds a debuff in skill learning for said skill for a bit
unique willow
yea i know, but i still do believe its better to get a couple points to strenght every game instead of 0.1 for running to extract after finally killing someone
analog fulcrum
I used military baterry in epsilon to lvl strenght 0-3, it works, but slow

That'll be the best bang for your buck, considering the armor class. You can probably find c3 cheaper.
tardy pond
whats the name for c3?
royal wind
I just meant class 3 armor.
royal wind
I dont think so @onyx zealot They sell for over 1 mil on the flea market.
royal wind
I agree, that's why 6b3tm is gonna be your best unless you just want to skip armor altogether.
royal wind
Yeah, looks like they're about 1.5 each on the FM right now, but take a look for yourself. I'm not ingame.
onyx zealot
oof 200k fee tho?
royal wind
Keep at least one if you can. You'll need one to upgrade your med station.
You're still a net positive with a 200k fee. Considering all 3 of those was only gonna get you 1mil from therapist.

I am glad everyone is equally as struggling
valid pawn
if you are not using some good slugs ... legs is not a bad ideea :))) but, check offline on spread patters and deviations on that gun

With most shotguns; yes, you are better off aiming for the face or legs if they have armor.
valid pawn
and of course the distance

anything I can do with euros to turn a nice profit or turn them into roubles at least?

Shotguns with magnum buckshot are fucking dope. People sleep on that shit.

I’ve never used shotguns besides playing scav

1 pellet headshots, it can 1 shot the stomach if every pellet hits, 2 shots legs if most pellets land. Shit is nasty.

whats your go to ammo for shotguns?
mine is usually flechette :/
I'm not sure if thats what I should be running

oh yea you are right ... my spreadsheet is out of date it seems
royal wind
Most people will say RIP for Flesh or AP-20. 95% of the time people will say AP-20.
I only use Magnum though.
valid pawn
anyway without ap slugs and semi geard decent player will mow you down
naive lion
I've gotten plenty of those..
I feel like armor just stops shotguns completely sometimes
valid pawn
even faceshields
royal wind
Yeah, you'll tend to get better results with AP20 because you arent relying on having to hit flesh like I am with magnum.
naive lion
so is magnum just the best
buckshot?
if we ignore the - accuracy and recoil
since I don't feel like thats too big a penalty for a shotgun
royal wind
ammo recoil isnt even implemented yet.
royal wind
Yeah, there's videos of people comparing 7.62us to BP and there being no difference.

also I heard they're adding a new shotgun, which one?

there is 2

don't know the correct term

Yeah, the Saiga and MP-153 are semi.

this counts for every map although some exits on other maps are always open and still need a requirement like not having a backpack ect.

@ancient falcon which place
fiery rover
what you searching wowowaweah 😄

I found techlight and the urban stores
nothing were in there
especially the clothing stores
not sure what would loot would spawn in there

Any clothing store has a chance to spawn armor, rigs, or hats. Chances of good stuff are pretty slim.

really only thing worth looting is techlight, texho, and rasmussen

how much money in gear is it ok to loose / round is there any average?

I'll say this - an average loot run for me is 500-900k, so I tend to stick to 600-800k kits
lunar haven
I personally run pistol runs till I'm up to 2/2.5m then run more geared loadouts because **** the gear fear

good one @sacred acorn

@half jackal what map r u playing

royal wind
I just dont run expensive kits all the time because I hate the idea of rewarding people who kill me. 😦
sacred acorn
tho personally (my overall vault worth is 20mil) and i still only go out with like 200k loot runs
and with that i can still clap most players
royal wind
My ultimate fuck you is having somebody kill me and expecting good loot only to walk away with a Vepr136 or M700.
sacred acorn
XD
royal wind
Or SV98, which I run more than the M700.
lunar haven
Modded p226 to the 9's (never said pistol run was a budget one ;) ) still a 100k pistola BUT consistently pull 400/500k out of the safes and locked rooms. Extracting on averaging 3/5 raids
royal wind
lol yeah. I'll make a fancy boi P226 every now and then. I like the look.
tepid halo
I went in hella geared once....
royal wind
A lot of times, if you carry a cheap gun like a toz or kedr, they wont even look at your pistol slot and you get it back. @lunar haven

Hi everyone I brought a pc and EFT yesterday, I’ve installed the launcher but when booting it, it’s says error in the first launcher update stage error 403 forbidden then when trying to install the actual game from the launcher I’m just getting error 403 and an error that says the process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. Any ideas???
royal wind
Then grab a vpo209 or 215 or something. a lot of people have trash guns in their stash.
Just saying, a lot of times people will overlook your pistol.
red flicker
whats a good budget akm for the punisher part 1?
royal wind
I think AKMS are the cheapest.
Throw a rubber buttpad on the stock and a decent foregrip/sight and youre in business.
tender charm
what should i take in priority in KIBA store ? i know silencer and scopes are valuable but for the rest idk what to take
royal wind
Guns on the wall, the suppresors, sights, and 60rnd mags.
Everything else is meh, until you learn which attachments are worth a decent amount.
tender charm
there was no guns on the wall this time rip
royal wind
Was the door open?
tender charm
is there still a mannequin that can spawn*gzhel
royal wind
That's in Generic
tender charm
nah i looted it first
royal wind
That sucks. The vast majority of the time I hit KIBA there's a sopmod on the wall. Bad luck.
waxen apex
prapor or therapists quests first ?
tender charm
well better luck next time i just got the key 😄
that's kinda stressful to loot it alone tho
floral ruin
doesnt really matter you need to get them both done anyway
edgy hatch
is SA-58 a good gun or should i sell it
floral ruin
well what level are you
waxen apex
8
floral ruin
if you are like lvl 5 it doesnt matter what quests you start with because you will need to do them anyway
if you are a higher level it depends what yo uwant to unlock
royal wind
SA-58 is great. Has a lot of recoil you need to get under control but its beastly.
waxen apex
thought like prapor first bcz bigger safe container?+
floral ruin
prapor has punisher quests which get you the epsilon container but thats a bit above your player level
edgy hatch
alright i'll try and mod it a little and bring it to a raid or something
floral ruin
to get the better container from prapor you need to do 6 punisher quests, and to get the first one you need to be lvl 17
so its a bit away yet
edgy hatch
@floral ruin I am lvl 17 but i don't see the punisher quests on prapor,do i need to finish some other ones first ?
edgy hatch
i see
solemn pike
youre tryna get into a raid. Its matching for a while. You start hearing crickets....what does that mean?

any tips to do peacekeeping mission ? i cant fight any pmc with that joke of an armor
half jackal
armor normally doesnt matter when fighting pmc shouldn't matter vs PMC
so it shouldn't be a big deal
flat cipher
@waxen apex you mean remove attachments?
waxen apex
ye
flat cipher
just ctrl click em when youre in the inspect menu
they come straight off into the first spot they find
woeful forum
so i should just put a scope on and camp ?
half jackal
?
fiery rover
don't be overly aggressive and try to suprise the enemys
half jackal
if you're relying on armor heavily it means your positioning/movement is at fault
When you get to end-game, armor means nothing - everyone you're fighting who are at the same level you are will be using ammo that completely ignores your armor
PK quest makes you use the level 3 armor
theres not many rounds that pen level 3 but wont pen level 4 - at least not many that players use

can I install a sight/scope onto my sks?

is there a way to direct message someone ingame without being friends?

half jackal
no
visual bloom
literally my first good run with at leats half a mil
and these 2 super geared whores chase me through the whole map
at leats felt like that
being shot from all corners
while i had killed 5 players myself already
feels just shitty
grand turtle
i suppose those 5 dudes didn't feel great either ^^
gaunt path
I cant even play the game I'm so bad, that feels shitty
visual bloom
but those dudes were killed around the map while actually doing shit
i was sneaking around the map for the last 15 minutes doing nothing
flat cipher
yeah
visual bloom
cause my backpack was stuffed
flat cipher
shit happens
visual bloom
and i couldnt extract i heard them activating bunker and killing raiders
knotty plover
when you look at consumable items on the market, how can you tell if it's at 100% or 50%? like for example sugar?
flat cipher
I've killed like 10 raiders on my own in 1 room on labs just to be 1 tapped by someone
u get over it eventually
half jackal
welcome to reserve
flat cipher
you stop caring about dying
half jackal
it sucks w/o rr
onyx estuary
i just got a GP coin and wondering what i should do with it
visual bloom
and since i dont have this 4 million melee weapon
flat cipher
sell it
half jackal
@onyx estuary sell
onyx estuary
flea market or trader
half jackal
@visual bloom run interchange like 10 times and buy a RR
then go back to reserve if you want
flat cipher
He sells some funky stuff traded for bitcoins and/or gp coins
onyx estuary
who do i sell the GP coin to
flat cipher
Check flea price
half jackal
@onyx estuary therapist or flea
flat cipher
and therapist price
onyx estuary
ok ty

and with just the basic 2x2 safe container its not exactly super easy to get some decent money even when dying

red rebel is the only reason I'm still playing reserve

I enjoy reserve but it takes so long to load and runs so badly
half jackal
i cant play reserve
flat cipher
it's a pretty small map to

and I've literally never played labs online
naive lion
how many people can go in labs?
half jackal
10 max
naive lion
raiders are a yikes
tardy pond
servers having a fit?
half jackal
most raiders ive killed on labs was like 27
more can definitely spawn
its all controlled by players though
mostly.
half jackal
Well, like main/medical/cargo all spawn like 3-5 each, parking/hangar can spawn like 10
flat cipher
they all spawn raiders

In the start what do I do?
naive lion
how long does your lab raid take?
azure lily
And I am brand spanking new at this game.
half jackal
depends
half jackal
if I find good shit and get a good spawn, ill usually head out within 15-25 minutes
flat cipher
very spawn dependent too
half jackal
if I find like 2x tv110/avs and dont find much, ill usually stay like 40 minutes minmaxing raider loot
golden mesa
How long does it usually take for the servers to go back up
flat cipher
depends
flat cipher
The time of a labs raid depends on where I spawn
how many raiders i find
and if any pvp happens
cause raider loot is so hit and miss
naive lion
I assume pvp usually happens?
flat cipher
Not all the time
half jackal
sometimes you get lucky with dead/hatchling server
flat cipher
you get a bunch of super budget people on labs
just rushing keycard rooms
or pistolings
running to all the ledx spawns
sometimes youll get a group of 4 fully geared holding it down somewhere
half jackal
meh
lucid cove
yes
elder crypt
yeah they are down again
half jackal
sometimes its 100% quiet for 40 minutes and you die to a dude camping green stair case the entire time

No @fallen hollow Different keys. They look different too.
3 story dorm keys are the long skinny metal ones. 2 story dorms keys are the stubby blue ones.

I can tell I'm going to enjoy this game.
It's like non-medieval Dark Souls.
In any case, I've just been PMC on Customs. most of my inventory is now gone. Should I switch to SCAV runs and also play some offline stuff?

some of them do, but they are often shifted in trajectory and won't shoot anywhere near straight
fallen hollow
it depends on penetration

Yeah, I've dumped 2-3 mags through the glass at somebody and only hit them a couple times. It's very hit or miss.

Do raiders on Reserve not always spawn? I flipped the Hermetic Door switch, but no raiders spawned.

before a sicc case, is it better to run the keytool or docs case?
elder crypt
I have one of each already
flat cipher
EOD?
elder crypt
I just think it'd be nice to be able to carry money and keys at the same time with docs
no I looted it in marked room
but I do have EOD
flat cipher
yeah use docs then
elder crypt
especially since I run interchange so much
elder crypt
can start using power extract
with EOD I have so much space I could just keep my useful keys I'm not using in the bottom of my inventory or something.
floral ruin
dont need a docs case to use v exits really
floral ruin
its only 7k u can just put that in your pocket take a keytool and have1 extra slot
elder crypt
yeah i could just put it in my pocket I suppose
