yea im learning as i go

T for Therapist, S for Skier and M for Mechanic, that's the order in which you should sell stuff to traders
to ge the most value out of your items
the rapist buys barter items
tardy pond
yeah i made that mistake when i started out coupole weeks ago
bold kernel
and what else
tardy pond
sold alot to prapor and fence
bold kernel
I'd argue skier, mechanic, ragman, and therapist and later prapor
Don't bother with fence
skip prapor if you can lol, worst value
tardy pond
he gives shit prices aswell >.<
bold kernel
Top are skier and mechanic
therapist buys food and med supplies, also dog tags
And therapist for rest
Yea ok
unique willow
sell what you can to therapist, and rest to others
static furnace
The issue with skipping prapor is you need a minimum spent to level him up and pursue the questlines
bold kernel
@bold kernel careful with the prices
unique willow
keys and barter items have good chance of having a lot more value in flea
bold kernel
they sell for 10k at the lowest
yeah i sold one of my keys for 1m
When you have roubles you can level them easily
if you're low on cash, do as I said, keep doing scav runs, sell everything you take out with you. I spawned with 200K keycards on my scav so many times
nice'
1
unique willow
but dont just sell the acces card, go to labs and start making millions
bold kernel
Buy items and sell them on flea market afterwards
Never go to labs
@unique willow solid advice for a newbie? :p
Lool i bought a salewa for 400
unique willow
yea?
static furnace
No point in going to Labs as a beginner
static furnace
Especially with all the hackers there recently
unique willow
make more money as a beginner?
unique willow
people play like pussies over there, they just hold 1 spot for the entire game. just get a spot for yourself and kill some raiders
bold kernel
^you have to get out innit
that's the hard part about tarkov
The cost is too high for a beginner plus you have to learn the map first
static furnace
How are you gonna kill some raiders while wearing a paca and a hunter
bold kernel
how do i do these
and why does it lower my rep with skier
@bold kernel, you have to into dorms and find that
on customs that is
Don't wear but a pistol
static furnace
@bold kernel All info can be found on the Wiki ๐ really recommend keeping it at hand
bold kernel
dorms ez just run in kamikaze with a tt
finish the quest and gtfo
also how do i do it
unique willow
@static furnace do you understand how powerful hunter is? i literally have been running money runs with that in labs for quite a bit now
bold kernel
do i just run into the water
static furnace
@unique willow Whatever suits you !
bold kernel
how do i do the quest
unique willow
buy 206 dorms key, and just go in the room
its the smaller dorms
you only need to go inside and then leave
bold kernel
Or just YouTube it
static furnace
There's a small sound notification as well as a message in the bottom right corner of the screen when the quest objective is completed
dusty yew
One question, for gaining strenght in my soldier, I need to wear in the backpack at least 90% of the weight I can carry on. My question is the next: "There are some item with a lot of weight but not much value for I can carry with it and gain strenght?" Thank you in advance.
bold kernel
last quest i completed on customs i did 1 try on a night raid so should i go at night
Better go with a stacked team :)
i dont have friends
trail marsh
can you change setting from toggle to hold
bold kernel
no teaming for m
unique willow
@dusty yew not worth it, strenght is a shitty skill to level up and that is not the way to go on about it
bold kernel
and im super shit with vc so i hate random queue
static furnace
@dusty yew Strength training has kinda been nerfed. One solution is to nest backpack into one another, or carry those big grey fuel tanks, but it takes ages
bold kernel
bcs this game basically requires vc
Yeah those big gray empty fuel cans or batteries
static furnace
@trail marsh Yes, what do you have in mind ?
dusty yew
Alright, thank you.
trail marsh
I want to hold ma aim button
unique willow
@dusty yew if you really do want to level it up, you can just start yeeting nades in the beginning of games to get it a few points every round. or you can smack a tank battery in your secure if you have epsilon or kappa
static furnace
@trail marsh try changing it to "Continuous"
bold kernel
@trail marsh check settings yeah you can
fast rivet
or just fill a backpack with buckshot
trail marsh
where
bold kernel
Settings controls?
trail marsh
oke thx
bold kernel
Guys im gonna run dorms with a pistol at night and not die good play or na?
Be sure to test it offline :)
static furnace
@trail marsh My answer was a bit confusing. Go to settings, keybindings, and change somthing like "aim down sight", I dont know how it's called in english
bold kernel
Be aware that there are quests to kill pmc's at night so enjoy :)
static furnace
It should be RightMouseClick anyway
bold kernel
Me, I would like to go at night raids with NV and enjoy it :)
unique willow
@bold kernel i would honestly recommend not to rush quests. if you really cant hold up a firefight or dont know your way around the map to avoid them, you are only going to have a bad time failing time and time again. so just go on scav runs and offline raids while scav is on timer to learn the map and get a feel for the game
bold kernel
bruh
its called the rat run
fast and silent
Sometimes it's worth it sometimes not
static furnace
When I started, I usually alternated between a PMC raid, and if I died, went a scav run
that way my PMC had more or less time to regenerate at almost zero cost
unique willow
mate, when you are low level i can literally hear you running 200meters away with headphones and maxed perception
you wont be silent in any way
bold kernel
i have headphones
also
ill crouch and press caps
dont care how slow i am
if i die first 2 night raids ill give up and grind
is pst gzh best tt round

@next seal try refreshing/restarting but personally i had to wait when that happened to me
toxic stump
So for me, a level 4, it looks like the therapist is buying my goods for the most money? What should I be looking out for when selling?
next seal
@naive atlas I've been restarting every 5mins just to "manually" refresh my flea market....
static furnace
@toxic stump when selling to traders, for best value you must favor Therapist, then Skier then Mechanic.
Ragman usually buys wearables
fast rivet
@next seal what works for me is clicking start on a raid, then hitting back
its annoying but it works
next seal
@fast rivet so I just press "Back" while matching?
fringe plinth
looking for someone to give me a hand in raids, I don't really know whats super profitable / what raids to go into?
bold kernel
depends on what you're looking for really
I think reserve has a shit ton of barter items spawns, where as Customs has Dorms, with a markerd room that spanws super rares
naive atlas
shoreline/interchange if you dont have rr
scav into reserve
if you have rr shoreline/reserve
fringe plinth
rr?
naive atlas
red rebel icepick
fringe plinth
nh im super new so I don't have shit
next seal
@fast rivet aye
naive atlas
most starting quests will be on customs/woods though
fringe plinth
yh, is it worth doing them or just going off on one
naive atlas
yep you need them to lvl up traders
fringe plinth
fair, thanks !
naive atlas

obsidian orchid

Not worth it :)
unique willow
i found machinery key yesterday, its the first purple key i have found so i think its going to worth quite a bit. still havent figured out where i can use it
bold kernel
wiki is your friend
says exactly what the key is for
Hmm, it's not the colour :)
Wiki and flea market
isn't machinery key for the truck at customs? The one you need for a Prapor quest
Yeah thats it
that's only 3k mate, sorry to burst your bubble
@unique willow
unique willow
i assume you mean 3k dollars
unique willow
mad profit
toxic stump
For loot that I just earned and havent transfered, is any of that worth waiting for auction house?
naive atlas
fuel conditioner and factory key are worth something
bold kernel
keep the factory key, it's super usefull for customs
toxic stump
save fcond and fac key for auction house?
snow kite
fcond also needed for a quest
bold kernel
No, keep the factory key and use it when you do a customs run
seen that little house that conects the construction part of customs to gas station?
naive atlas
there are places where you can make jumps over the wall
bold kernel
you can use the factory key to use that shortcut, so you don't have to pass gas station, + theres good loot in that cabin
toxic stump
im scared Ill use the key and lose the loot, kinda wanna just sell it ๐
snow kite
@naive atlas you really think that a guy whos asking for what to save and what not knows about those ninja jumps over the wall? ๐
bold kernel
yeah there's jumps to get out of the factory part, but not to get in if you spawn on gas station side
snow kite
there are a few other places where you can jump over
bold kernel
there's only 1 way in if you don't have the key and that's to pass gas station
which is a death trap
toxic stump
thats actually the very first thing I was taught and first thing I did with this game
that jump from trunk hatch to portapotty
toxic stump
whoa whoa now slow down
naive atlas
the key is around 150k since i last checked which is a good amount
toxic stump
after 10+ runs with no extracts I get 2 in a row
naive atlas
i personally never used the shortcut and would rather have 150k
bold kernel
there's a reason why the key is worth so much money :p cuz it's usefull haha, but if you need money to gear up, then sell it ๐
oh you haven't hit 5? sure, sell it , my bad
unique willow
you really should just think it in a way, that you are using about 1k to extract safely, without having to go on the other side of the map to a great chance of getting exract camped
bold kernel
You can jump over the shortcut on both sides :)
snow kite
its not just about the extract...gas station full of pesky raiders, rocks where bastards with a mosin like to camp and that tower post with 100 scavs
unique willow
not customs, but in factory
in customs its basically just a luxury that is not nearly as useful as in factory
bold kernel
wait are we talking about the same thing? The factory key is used in customs, to shortcut from gas station into the factory area
is there a way to jump over the wall, before crossing gas station??
I was talking about customs also
snow kite
yes
same, customs wall
bold kernel
Yeah, after crossing
unique willow
i was talking about the factory extracts
bold kernel
:D
snow kite
i mean i played factory like a few times at the start to do the mission and after that forgot about it
bold kernel
well yeah, after crossing :p I never cross gas station on the street side, I either take the shortcut with key or used the long way around
unique willow
its a great place to learn pvp
snow kite
also a great place to get extract camped every time ๐
bold kernel
pro tip: take a grenade when going factory
snow kite
or just dont play the map ๐
bold kernel
well , you have to for quests :p
snow kite
yeah, ive done that already ๐
bold kernel
had to do 5 runs to get the Mechanic quest done
spent an entire grizzly on that damn quest
bold kernel
same, but I either spawned the other side of the map, or got spawn raped by some sweatbeard
snow kite
i was lucky to spawn two times in a row right nexto to that shit
and than while they were fighting i ran out ๐
fast rivet
yeah helped a new guy out doing it, we got tapped, spawned right next to the gate 0 extract on our second go, so we just extracted and completed the quest
bold kernel
I wish someone helped me pre lvl 10 lol, I joined the discord too late
tawny axle
Do the AI scavs react to torches?
snow kite
what do u mean?
tawny axle
if its night time and you have a torch on your gun does it alert the AI scavs?
snow kite
i dont think so
mint hawk
@bold kernel or use a diff exit
fast rivet
@tawny axle not sure, my first guess would be yes, i've seen them react to my laser in the middle of the night
toxic stump
HP ammo any good for AK?

wispy finch
does the hermetic switch on reserve only call in glukhar and his boys
or can it also spawn normal raiders like in labs?
bold kernel
It always spawns raiders
And has a chance to spawn glukhar
If he didn't spawn at the start
wispy finch
oh okay nice
i was super confused when i saw a dude loot 2 raiders and me seeing him have lab loot
after killing him
and couldnt find other raiders/boss
unique willow
the boss and his mates have 2 guns, but normal raiders only have 1
solemn pike
Dont know if this is the right channel,so sorry. Which is better, the stock MDR in 5.56 or stock M4? Also, what are the pros/cons to each choice?
unique willow
i do believe m4 is better in every way, exact expense
solemn pike
I think youre right honestly but a couple weeks ago when I asked this question the overwhelming response was the stock MDR was better.
and i kinda wonder why
bold kernel
Stock m4 has A LOT more recoil
MDR is way better
Stock m4 recoil is uncontrollable
Also MDR has way more ergonomics than the stock m4
M4 has 800 RPM and MDR has 650, though
unique willow
mdr is a lot cheaper to run a decent loadout with, but m4 can be made into a far better gun with few attachments
solemn pike
I need to unlock the shooting range to see if I agree with that assessment. I think you are probably right but I only just got an MDR a week ago. I like playing around with it.
bold kernel
But like I said a stock m4 is pretty much useless
solemn pike
@unique willow sorry to be obnoxious. Yeah I know a modded M4 is a beast of a gun. Thats the reason 95% of streamers use it.
unique willow
any stock gun is basically worthless
yea, but my point is that any stock weapon is not worth using. but mdr costs about 30-50k to make it a decent weapon, while m4 can easily take 80-100k
bold kernel
MDR, vss, SVDS, FAL
solemn pike
Im trying really hard to build budget loadouts of under 400k. The problem is a silencer is a prereq for me and that pushes cost way up.
bold kernel
Budget AK's can be really good
solemn pike
The Rotor 43 is the worst silencer in the game right?
manic aspen
kac silencer is cheap
split vapor
over priced for no stat bonus
unique willow
vss is a highly supressed weapon with a cost of only about 100k for gun, attachments and few mags
bold kernel
Problem with the vss is that the mags go for 40k if you can't get them for prapor
split vapor
you only need 20s
bold kernel
So either spend half your raid refilling mags or spend 160k in mags
Meh, if it's 1 person you're shooting at sure
But 20's don't cut it in dorms/resort/labs imo
unique willow
@split vapor im not completely sure, but i do believe i the hybrid's volume supressing is far better than others
split vapor
caliber affects suppression the most
unique willow
@bold kernel depends if you actually intend on hitting shots or just spraying at them
bold kernel
Why not both? Low recoil high rate of fire
unique willow
yea i know, but it's better supression compared to other silences
bold kernel
I'm not gonna be tapping with a vss :/
unique willow
yea but if you actually plan on hitting, the extra 10shots a mag should not really count too much if you are running budjet anyways
bold kernel
Let's say you're defending a position against a team
One guy pushes you and you kill him
With a 20 round mag your chances of killing the next guy before reloading are much lower than with the 30 round mag
So either reload and risk him pushing and you dying
Or hope that you have enough bullets
manic aspen
or have a 5-7
static furnace
Or fast reload !
unique willow
ok i get than, but lets say that this conversation started from a guy asking for a good supressed weapon loadout, and i told him a good gun for that is vss, and i really do believe that for the cost the 20round mags are still far more than enough to kill someone bit more geared even. maybe not too many people, but thats still a budjet loadout and not ment to kill 20man squads
bold kernel
Fair enough, I agree
static furnace
I should play a VSS more...
manic aspen
vss mid range sucks, too much bullet drop
static furnace
What did you guys run for Punisher Part 5 (killing PMC with a Paca/6B helmet) ?
pulsar minnow
im mad
static furnace
On factory? o_o
pulsar minnow
im so fucking mad
unique willow
but something like hunter with m80 could be good also
pulsar minnow
RATSSSSSSSSSS
static furnace
That's what I'm currently running, and although I survive most my raids, I can't kill a single PMC
I seem to be bad a long range with that gun
bold kernel
I ran customs and shoreline
There's a lot of hatchlings on shoreline if you're really struggling
unique willow
last time i played factory a couple weeks ago, it was scattered with naked running around. so should not be too hard to kill them
static furnace
Oh hunter on factory, interesting
unique willow
just smack something like pk-06 on that and use m80's and you are going to be 1 tapping people on the chest
fast rivet
m1a is so underrated
static furnace
Yeah that makes sense actually
Man, I have a M1A I looted at like level 12 or so on Reserve one time, and it's been with me ever since
bronze ice
@unique willow M80 got nerfed
bronze ice
Not even C3 afaik
flat cipher
Easy 2 through C4 at least
unique willow
dirox, it does 1 tap trough c3
rustic obsidian
thermals are op?
unique willow
no
fast rivet
any thermal or just the cheap one?
bold kernel
The 230k one 
fast rivet
oof
unique willow
reap-ir
fast rivet
i was going to say, cache run, get 200-300k, boom, 2-3 cheap thermals
unique willow
and also need the 100k hybrid on it
bold kernel
Needless to say that quest is gonna hurt the bank
bronze ice
@sour plume Tested C3 and said it doesn't one tap, didn't try it myself tho :x
unique willow
the armors are about chance, not guaranteed block
tier 1 CAN block an m80
but most likely will not
manic aspen
when did they nerf m80? my ammo chart says 91% chance penetration on level 4
naive atlas
nooo i was planning on doing factory and took paracord out of gamma, accidentally went into reserve
bold kernel
Last patch
bronze ice
Eh, might've been old info then, there is a video testing all armor now, and it does one tap c3
bold kernel
No it's still cabbage
ripe perch
how much does the key to oli cash register sell for on the flea?
cant check since im in raid
unique willow
70k i think
manic aspen
pestily put out a video on the 29th saying m80 can 1 tap level 4. when was the update?
bold kernel
The update was 7 days ago, 11 feb
do raiders attack other AI?
But BSG doesn't release real patch notes so that's why it's hard to find reliable info
Sometimes they do, sometimes they wait a few seconds before shooting you
But they're hostile
Other AI
Ah
No
so
Only pscavs and pmcs
raiders NEVER fight with other bots?
unique willow
jesus christ im a brainlet, i've been stuck on mechanics gpu task for a few weeks now since i havent been finding them. now watching pestilys video i realized they dont have to be found in raid
bold kernel
Correct
when raiders attack something its always a player?
weird
Yes either a pmc or a pscav
i bet there are invisible players in this game, cheaters i mean
manic aspen
yea i found all my gpu's in raid as well and then found out
these items highlighted in green MUST be found in raid:
https://gamepedia.cursecdn.com/escapefromtarkov_gamepedia/1/19/QuestItemRequirements.png
bold kernel
There have been some invisibility bugs but they're very rare
yeah i dont mean server issues either but
well
how do i explain what i witnessed
manic aspen
through song
bold kernel
maybe a player was fighting the raiders and raiders killed him and his corpse disappeared underground (again)
lol
im a terrible singer
manic aspen
toss a coin to your witcher
unique willow
from my understanding a weapon can only jam if under quarter durability
bold kernel
i can find a weapon from a box that has low dura and jams in the middle of first shots?
unique willow
no
bold kernel
so it has to be a bug then
manic aspen
idk but ive had that happen to me without low durability
bold kernel
sacriel is talking about something like this too now on his stream
manic aspen
seemed more like a bug then a jam
bold kernel
ive had 2 fights where i died because of gun suddenly stops shooting
Never heard of that bug
More likely that it did jam or you ran out oif ammo xp
manic aspen
does a jam have any sort of animation or can you just start shooting again immediately?
bold kernel
It has an animation
manic aspen
yeah then i have experienced bugs never jams
bold kernel
The same one when you press LSHIFT+ALT +T i BELIEVE
Keep in mind guns you find in crates do not spawn with full mags
No.
it has to be a bug
brisk prawn
Um, could i ask what seems like a silly question ?
bold kernel
I'd like to see a clip
now that sacriel is talking about gun not working aswell
i bet he has some experience over playing tarkov
what do i know im just a noob speculating
silly things
Well I have 500 hours as well and have never heard of that bug
Ask away
i have 300 hours
and im still a nab
flat cipher
Jamming doesnt happen randomly
it's more likely you, or your pc stuttering, not a bug
bold kernel
it had no sound no animation nothing
just clicking the mouse button and gun isnt firing
my pc is a god of steel
manic aspen
its happened to me and a friend. if others are talking about it as well its probably the game not my pc
flat cipher
the gun doesnt stop randomly shooting lol
bold kernel
Anyone have a clip of this?
full mag 30 bullets i fired like 10 of them
i should start clipping
manic aspen
I have 600 hours its probably happened 2-3 times. I dont record
brisk prawn
Well im trying to get my movement, better. and ill try and word this as well as i can so you understand, but i see alot of streamers for example leaning right and also moving to the right and forward if they want to towards a corner. I can lean left and move right and forward all i want, my hand is fine with that, but holding E,D and if i needed to move forward W, seems almost impossible.
flat cipher
correct, you should clip things
bold kernel
What also sometimes happens is you desync and you stop firing because you're already dead even though you don't look dead on your screen
yeah and im saying that it is VERY RARE
But even that is pretty rare :/
but sometimes it does happen and now im hearing sacriel talking about gun bugs too
flat cipher
@brisk prawn they probably change the binding to toggle instead of hold
bold kernel
If that's hard for you you can switch the keybind from hold to toggle
bold kernel
^ Harry beat me to it
flat cipher
you can also slow lean
brisk prawn
thank you !
bold kernel
btw guyz
No problemo, good luck
do you know any specific walls that are bugged and ur weapon can show through the wall so enemy can see ur behind that wall?
bold kernel
i once saw a clip of gun showing through wall but the gun was secondary and on the guy's back not in hand
I've seen weapons clip through, only if they have suppressors though I think?
oh yeah i think it had suppressor
anyhow a long long barrel
bold kernel
the guy was annihilated very badly
flat cipher
a gun in hand wont do that
bold kernel
Usually it's not through walls but through closed doors though
bold kernel
mmkay
so i shouldnt go too near of thin walls when hiding with big bags
(when camping around players)
flat cipher
kinda
bold kernel
im kinda thinking about K-building trains
Don't think about it too much
very short iron walls
thin*
manic aspen
this is what the shooting glitch looks like:
https://youtu.be/CT0gZcmJyuE?t=64
bold kernel
no no i dont mean its my typical spot to camp at
but 2 times i have gotten stuck in that 1 train that has weapon box in it
the big fat weapon box
and i killed like 8 raiders from there
flat cipher
I either go around or juse the shortcut to get into hermetic and come out the other side
bold kernel
The comments say that's because of the durability of the gun being under 99%
manic aspen
the video creators response to that comment:
'Never have I seen someone take something out of their ass and run with it quite like you have here.'
manic aspen
he says its replicated by clicking too fast for bursts
bold kernel
i tried to click again and nothing came out of my barrel
manic aspen
oh, mine usually does shoot after
bold kernel
does getting shot at affect the ability to pull my own trigger?
manic aspen
the only time my gun stopped shooting I had to alt f4 and it worked again
but it was also stuck pointing towards the ceiling
bold kernel
reserve should have a place wheres a microphone for those alarm speakers and when Global Chat is introduced to the game a player could speak throught those alarm speakers with that microphone
so basically people could spam music through mics
at the whole reserve
manic aspen
I want to be able to destroy the alarm, I hate that thing
bold kernel
btw
bold kernel
do the alarm sound as loud to others in some places as it does to me?
flat cipher
its louder in certain places yes
bold kernel
im thinking about it sounding over the footsteps and stuff
flat cipher
dome, bottom left e1 fields
ancient falcon
should you team with randoms? what if they just kill you?
bold kernel
isnt a good tactic to start moving faster in places where the alarm is louder?
manic aspen
never team with randoms
bold kernel
people dont hear u that well?
flat cipher
no
manic aspen
they WILL kill you
flat cipher
^
flat cipher
you can still hear people though
ancient falcon
they dont get any penalty for team killing?
flat cipher
no
ancient falcon
lol nice game
bold kernel
after sounding the alarm i mean
manic aspen
nope, even on discord you need video evidence for them to get a 'discord' ban
ancient falcon
I've never made it to bunker or train after alarm in reserves yet
only done it once, otherwise I take other exits
flat cipher
thats where all the fun is
bold kernel
never team with randoms
@manic aspen what did they say to you before/after killing you?
flat cipher
like john gluhar wick
ancient falcon
actually never survived as an pmc in reserve yet

its never happened to me but ive heard many tales

I always get into fights on my way there
open lotus
are tan and black ulach the same thing?
ancient falcon
wtf is scav lands
flat cipher
youve never experienced reserve until gluhar basically dolphin dives around a corner and one taps you
ancient falcon
you need pmc or scav
flat cipher
and yes, theyre the same
bold kernel
ive wondered scav lands exit too
flat cipher
no, you need pmc AND scav
manic aspen
scav lands you have to find a friendly pmc or scav IN GAME
ancient falcon
as pmc*
manic aspen
scav player
flat cipher
yeah, pscav
bold kernel
HOW do pmc and scav exit peacefully together there??????
bold kernel
that is utopia
ancient falcon
lol like that ever happens
flat cipher
Train is pretty safe
bold kernel
that exit should be bigger area with hiding spots
flat cipher
bunkers are pretty safe, you can avoid K buildings to get there when the alarm is on
ancient falcon
customs takes at least 10 mins to match everytime now
manic aspen
^
bold kernel
if i run underground under k-buildings do people top of ground hear me?
ancient falcon
hole in the mountain and heating pipe are easiest
flat cipher
maybe, depends on their hearing range
ancient falcon
what does red rebel do?
bold kernel
h mm
flat cipher
you can extract cliff
manic aspen
yes I hear players under k buildings
ancient falcon
what about the wire? you can only use it once?
ancient falcon
i can't afford red rebel then
bold kernel
4 slots secure container sucks
ancient falcon
^
bold kernel
Anyone know glukhar spawnrate?
should buy bigger secure container, should buy red rebel ice pick
flat cipher
probably 35% ish
flat cipher
no it was 2.5m a few weeks ago
bold kernel
poor get poorer and rich get richer
bold kernel
where does gluhar spawn
flat cipher
because i bought mine just over a week ago for 4m
bold kernel

is that the only use for red rebel?

really
flat cipher
yes

how do i recognize gluhar
manic aspen
reserve and woods
sour plume
@bronze ice Someone made a video a few days ago testing a few different armors and it took 2 shots to kill through lvl 3. That video was done after my own test
bold kernel
but if i randomly farmed raiders and killed them by headshots could i have accidently killed gluhar and looted him
does he always have specific good loot
15 raids and didn't find him once ):
flat cipher
yes
manic aspen
keycard
bold kernel
he once killed me in the dark but thats it
Numerous tactecs were lost in this process
flat cipher
he'll always have an M1A or an ASH-12
its the only place ash12 spawns
in his hands
bold kernel
i just checked my player historics and it seems i have killed 1 boss
flat cipher
and he can easily 1 tap you
flat cipher
because all 12.7x55mm ammo has over 100 flesh dmg
bold kernel
and im just wondering did i even loot him
Guards also count as bosses in the log
oh
roger
flat cipher
no they dont
manic aspen
you can see how many 'bosses' you have killed in your overall stats
static furnace
are guards considered raiders, or some special class ?
sour plume
Guards don't count as bosses or else I'd have 50+ bosses in my log lol
manic aspen
I think they do?
ancient falcon
why does the game use money from your secure container when I buy something?
flat cipher
takes it from the top left most slot
ancient falcon
I thought I had enough for exit but only found out I didn't in game
static furnace
@ancient falcon It's happened to me too, it sucks
rancid fractal
insurance comes from container first
flat cipher

ancient falcon
I went into dorms to find money and 6 scavs in 1 spot
flat cipher
any costs
ancient falcon
just staring at me
ancient falcon
think boss was in there too
flat cipher
if you have money in your rig it comes from there
bold kernel
is there a scope zeroing guide in form of image so i can save it in my folder?
flat cipher
wdym
ancient falcon
from rig first?
manic aspen
wait.....insurance comes from my backpack too? thats where my money went
bold kernel
so C H A D
bold kernel
@flat cipher not true for all bullets
sour plume
Insurance comes from your character first before your stash
static furnace
What does zeroing mean ?
static furnace
You can change that IG ?
bold kernel
veritas made a hour long video showing how all bullets need their own zeroing
naive atlas
@bold kernel just kill the other pmcs before they kill you
static furnace
Wow
bold kernel
yeah
rancid fractal
He means how to translate that to scope displays. There is a measure. Veritas just uploaded a video on zeroing. He breaks down how it works in game
bold kernel
i never have used zeroing
manic aspen
page up and page down while aiming down sights to zero
flat cipher
you dont really need to
bold kernel
is it really that useful to use
flat cipher
as long as you know how the drop on your gun works
manic aspen
I like it for 200m shots
bold kernel
it works like that in other games atleast
ancient falcon
salewa vs ifak?
flat cipher
but like, sub200m
ancient falcon
whats the difference
plucky lion
Hello
flat cipher
smaller
ancient falcon
does the same thing?
bold kernel
Ifuck
flat cipher
it's 1 slot instead of 2
bold kernel
sorry my language
bold kernel
i am tired i should go scav->
rancid fractal
Heals an extra status effect than salewa, too?
bold kernel
btw did salewa stop bloodloss
manic aspen
ifak lets you make more money by freeing up a slot. thats the biggest difference. also if your chest rig is full of mags you cant fit a salewa or car for hotkey use
bold kernel
did those two had different benefits other than size and quantity
static furnace
Salewa is easier to produce and all around cheaper I reckon
bold kernel
ive got alots of IFAKS
raiders drop em a lot
never have i bought a single one of those
manic aspen
ive never bought a ifak and just sold a bunch for 600k I found in raid
bold kernel
i craft and resell them, keep one sell the other
static furnace
Basically yes
manic aspen
yea, but you can make that back in like 10 raids
rancid fractal
It's a melee weapon, too, so can't be looted
plucky lion
Hello! Im new to the game and i didnt do any raids yet what do i do first to do a succesful raid?
ancient falcon
I go to good places people recommend and I find nothing
static furnace
By not dying while waiting for the train or making a run for the hermetic door
rancid fractal
scav runs on interchange can net hundreds of thousands
static furnace
@plucky lion play offline to learn the map and the guns you have
rancid fractal
^
ancient falcon
idk solos is hard
plucky lion
Which map should i practice on?
manic aspen
most importantly learn what is valuable and what is not. try to make at least 10k per slot
static furnace
Practice Customs first as it's where most of the quests are.
plucky lion
And when i play offline with pve on will i lose ammo and that shit?
static furnace
I highly recommend watching a couple videos about it too. And check the maps on the wiki, they show where the loot is and most importantly, players spawn
You lose nothing while offline
plucky lion
Okay so i can practice shooting with pve on right?
plucky lion
Okay! Thanks dude :)
manic aspen
turn ai and difficulty to 'as online'
static furnace
The hardest part when starting is getting familiar with all the controls
rancid fractal
When getting familiar with the controls, you might want to change a few of them first
plucky lion
And if i use meds in offline mode will it still be there when i leave?
wet spade
Yes
spark hawk
Hereโs a nice item chat
rancid fractal
Some of them are really weird combinations to press when you're in the middle of some shit
wet spade
Everything in offline mode is in offline mode
plucky lion
Okay
icy iron
no its beta
ancient falcon
whats the best gun to use?
bold kernel
It can't get damaged
manic aspen
why does that picture have round pliers as moderate? they're at 5k right now and I never touch them
static furnace
@ancient falcon the one you prefer ๐
ancient falcon
not too expensive and something I don't mind losing
split vapor
Anything 308 but hunter
ancient falcon
if its good someone will just loot it if i die
icy iron
go loud with a hunter its cheap and with $bullets you can take out jags
ancient falcon
is that only 3/4 ammo?
static furnace
A Mosin is the most powerful gun no one will loot
icy iron
and cheaper
manic aspen
once you go suppressed you will never go back. watching people spin in circles as you shoot them is priceless
icy iron
M80 best bang for the buck
icy iron
with the right ammo @ancient falcon
split vapor
M80. 7n1 best ammo in game
icy iron
but if your new I don't even suggest the best priced ammo
I suggest offilne for about two days in each map learning extracts
spark hawk
Do they make drum makes for the As Val?
split vapor
No
ancient falcon
I've got about 40 hours i think
valid pawn
30 round mag max
ancient falcon
62*
spark hawk
Oof okay
icy iron
go after the bosses in offline mode with high dollar and low dollar ammo see what works
stark difference
if you go in offline mode you don't loose shit
fast rivet
hell, i'm 250+ hours in and i still go offline occassionally just to remind myself of certain areas and scav spawns
icy iron
not even the high dollar ammo you use
split vapor
Looks at my timeoh god 1200 hours
icy iron
@fast rivet ^^
static furnace
Go offline and learn the cache locations ๐
ancient falcon
Do i need to open the 206 room for operation aquarius to finish it even though I've opened it in a previous raid?
icy iron
if you diddn't have the task till after yes
ancient falcon
wdym
icy iron
if I am not mistaken on pmc not scav also
bold kernel
Glukhar doesn't exist change my mind
ancient falcon
i have to go back in dorms, open the door, then exit?
icy iron
on PMC yes
manic aspen
objectives:
Find hidden water in the dorm
Survive and extract Customs
no you dont need to find the key
bold kernel
20 raids of checking all spawns and didnt find him once. I rushed everything
flat cipher
He definitely does
ancient falcon
you need key to open the door
flat cipher
Best for what
ancient falcon
for money
wet spade
As a new player?
ancient falcon
i need millions
flat cipher
Tech stores for money
Like, good money
Keep in mind, shit like wires sells for 15k on flea
So take them

manic aspen
exfil camping is great on interchange
icy iron
lol that's still a thing? Just shoot em
ancient falcon
look in the shelves?
wet spade
If you're looting it clean, computer rooms too
ancient falcon
is that the supermarket area?
ancient falcon
with all the shelves
wet spade
Usually at the back, shadow area
ancient falcon
oh the back
icy iron
if you got any gun you shouldn't die to hatchlings
wet spade
Not about dying
icy iron
they are so easy
wet spade
It's about them looting the GPU and stuff
icy iron
lol they never make it that far
manic aspen
ive seen so many hatchlings
wet spade
Damn they are real quick
manic aspen
around lvl 30, its sad
wet spade
They don't have to get much tho
icy iron
too easy to pick off running all over the place
wet spade
Now I'm usually just pushing kiba and killa
manic aspen
i can never find killa, does he rarely spawn or something?
wet spade
33% i think?
manic aspen
ah 38%, i just checked
wet spade
There's alot of people doing the quest tho
static furnace
At 55s, he must have just woken up !
waxen apex
server dead for me
bold kernel
Yeah the 1 raid I didnt bring a tactec
I get absolute blasted through the window
Fella takes my leg out and I can't run
Amen
360 dmg done too, I just need to kill him for the quest
static furnace
Last interaction I had with a raider, I was in 2 story dorms, in front a window. Raiders were entering 3 story dorms, and as I went to take a peak at the window, not even fully out, I got one tapped by one of them
I still don't really understand how they behave
bold kernel
Never peak with your head against raiders
peek*
Peek with your whole body, you're more likely to survive
static furnace
I didn't like lean, I just went from the middle of the room to the window. And like only my arm should have been visible but got instantly headshot
manic aspen
can anyone confirm or deny this reddit post about raiders on labs?:
When leaning or stepping out, they can't detect you if your original location is behind something. IE, if you step out of complete cover they cannot see you 90% of the time.
posted by nofoodaftermidnight but was almost a year ago
static furnace
As far as my experience go, they can sometimes detect you just by being within a certain radius of them, hidden or not
manic aspen
they pretty much always shoot at me so im a bit skeptical
ancient falcon
so the game 9/10 times shit loot
I went interchange again. nothing in there
searched around OLI, techlight, the clothing stores near techlight as well
manic aspen
interchange loot isnt that spectacular unless you get a gpu or tetriz
if you get the emercom key no one ever goes there, found a gpu and some other good stuff inside
wet spade
whats the lowest recoil for AKS 74n?
52?
for Oli
you mainly wanna loot motors, propane
fuel tanks
tbh every single time i go, if it's unlooted
there'll be at least 3 4 slot item
water filters as well
ancient falcon
is that a room near emercom exit? @manic aspen
manic aspen
bottom floor mall near idea
static furnace
roughly 80k
urban summit
what is the best rail/handguard to keep in your secure container to mount scopes and stuff to? including REAP-IR
sacred hawk
oh dang
bold kernel
I found him again and got domed a milisecond after seeing him
static furnace
There are hardly any worthless RB keys
@urban summit quite a vast subject, there are too many really
bold kernel
I want to commit sudoku
urban summit
@static furnace is there any that are 1 slot that can fit a reap-ir?
manic aspen
yes
static furnace
I'm not sure I'm understanding what you are willing to do
Do you mean something that would make the reap-ir one slot instead of two ?
ancient falcon
does the gun affect the ammo's effectiveness?
manic aspen
you can use a gas tube with a certain handguard, i forget which, to fit a reap-ir into your pouch in 1 slot
static furnace
Do a linked search and look for a one slot mount or dovetail ?
ancient falcon
e.g. ap 6.3 on a pistol vs smg
royal wind
It used to be If you stick the reap-ir on a mount, it allowed you to put it in your secure container.
urban summit
@manic aspen perfect, do you know which?
ancient falcon
what is ricochet in this game?
static furnace
Oh wait it's true you can't put scopes in your pouch anymore right ?
manic aspen
nope, give me a second to find out if i can
royal wind
You can put scopes, you cant put NVGs/thermals in your pouch.
But there was a bug that allowed you to do it if it was on a mount or rail.
Not sure if that's been fixed or not.
manic aspen
idk my buddy runs it for regular scopes but he told me it could take a reap-ir
urban summit
its not a bug or at least I don't think and yeah it still works just want to find a single slot rail for this purpose
ancient falcon
does the gun affect the ammo's effectiveness? e.g. ap 6.3 on a pistol vs smg
urban summit
@ancient falcon guns wth longer barrels are generally more powerful irl using the same round
static furnace
Once the bullet registers a hit, I think only the ammo stat is taken into account
manic aspen
found it
royal wind
It'll destroy the armor and eventually kill him, yes.
wet spade
will he get to shoot me tho :O/
royal wind
Possibly.
royal wind
Big boy bullets to the head work quite well.
wet spade
do i still leg him when im using lets say m4 with 855a1?
vital igloo
When is the bsg stream
royal wind
Yeah, it'll take a lot to leg him though. It'd probably still be faster to go through the armor with 855a1
valid pawn
that ammo is decent..ish against lvl5 armor so you could thorax him
wet spade
whats a good way to kill him tho
