It'd take 19 shots to kill him to the leg.
With 855a1
Sooo... chest is probably better.
valid pawn
44dmg .. yea :))
manic aspen
if you really want that fresh armor though.....
valid pawn
he has 830 health his rhorax is 170
manic aspen
ive killed him as a scav with leg shots with adar
valid pawn
Head: 70
Thorax: 170
Stomach: 150
Arms: 100 each
Legs: 120 each
Total: 830
wet spade
the moment i see him
valid pawn
that is the health distribution
wet spade
do i hide and wait for him to push?
manic aspen
he was facing the wrong way and never turned around...unusual
bold kernel
If he's seen you then yes
wet spade
ok thats the weird part today
twice
i hide
he didnt run to me
he just walk to me
i shot him but he shot me back
i tried to leg him

Shoot him before he starts shooting or you're done
what is the most best and safest place to wait/camp raiders @ reserve, around train station area?
valid pawn
i think he doesn;t get stun locked anymore
wet spade
i was using mp7 iirc
bold kernel
He does lol
manic aspen
I like to fight them in K buildings, but I see a lot of people bait them into the tower
wet spade
he did get stun lock just now when i kill him
just weird that the 2 time i died
he actually shot me back
i saw some stream, they use grenade to force him to run
and spray him down
manic aspen
the trick is to hit him from long range, 1 tap to the head. its only a level 4 helmet in the sides and back
wet spade
well, sometimes i see him at mid range
i kill him like 60-70% of the time
sometimes idk why he doesnt even sprint, just walk up to me
royal wind
Yeah. His spawn locations arent really conducive to being spotted at long range. He hides behind boxes.
manic aspen
use teammates as bait đ
wet spade
or is it better to wait for him to peek instead
bold kernel
Don't walk past the store without checking inside
But yes you shoot him
If you keep walking away there's a chance he powerslides and blasts you

If you downgrade to a Kiln @silver dome you can use PMM which is like 5x cheaper and even better ammo.
waxen forge
@lavish pivot Break it into parts and sell to Skier then rest to Mechanic
Don't waste time selling weapons on flea
Maybe suppressors and Optics if the flea beats Skier
worldly falcon
@lavish pivot you want to base your price on the guy who's selling multiple, and barely undercut him. the single trades under himwill buy out quickly and aren't worth basingyour prices on
manic aspen
guns dont always sell that fast
manic aspen
if you want to level up your flea level do
waxen forge
Sell tech/hardware on flea
Maybe suppressors and optics
New people need to level traders not worrying about an extra flea spot
lavish pivot
but mo money
worldly falcon
it's only really more money for certain select items
waxen forge
Break 99% of weapons into parts and sell to Skier and mechanic
worldly falcon
like bud said mainly suppressors and some optics
silver dome
@royal wind what ammo?
waxen forge
Save flea time for tech/hardware and some suppressors/optics. Many suppressors and optics sell to Skier just as well as flea.
manic aspen
almost every attachment you can sell to skier or mechanic sells for more on the flea

Learn what is worth keeping
frigid fog
Then when you become higher levelled, you'll become more occupied with saving time between raids
worldly falcon
or at least look at the flea value of the item you're bartering with.
waxen forge
Donât overuse flea. Level the traders. They will sell you better stuff as you level them often for less than the price on flea. Armor will be new vs. damaged. Flea is players selling to players to make a profit. Taking advantage of those who cannot buy the same items from traders. To level traders you need to so a specified amount of transactions âspentâ with them plus level character and trader reputation. Check prices for tech/hardware on Flea vs. therapist and sell to therapist if itâs close. Weapons break down and sell to Skier then rest to Mechanic. Maybe check flea price for suppressors and some higher end optics vs. Skier price but donât waste time selling basic weapon on flea.

waxen forge
Broken down will sell for about the same price to Skier>Mechanic
Levels the "spent" requirement with them.

you can take off anything good and then sell the extra attatchments on flea

Are you bullying us cuz we donât have eod
waxen forge
Yea that's totally what that statement meant
He suggested a med kit and it turns into an EOD thing.
daring wedge
an IFAK or salewa is a bit more space-efficient than a grizzly during raids. space is limited.
waxen forge
Makes sense
bold kernel
Obviously
Take a cheese, 2 painkillers and a salewa and you should be fine really
Eod is just a slight head start
put the cheese and 1 pack of painkillers into pockets, the rest in your gamma/alpha
Just get through punisher and get an epsilon
bandage and splints are nice, but optional
manic aspen
slight? you save over 30 million on your hideout alone
daring wedge
gamma is still 9 slots over epsilon's 8, although you could argue that epsilon has the better layout.

regardless of which secure container you have, a grizzly seems overkill to me unless you plan to do extensive PVP and stay 50 minutes in a raid. Take an IFAK or a Salewa in your secure container along with a military bandage and regular painkillers and you should be fine for the most part.
bold kernel
Goldenstar is the best painkiller option imo

daring wedge
can't fit a surv 12 into an alpha, though, so I'd recommend a CMS in most cases... you should be fine with restoring blacked parts 5 times anyway. If you need more charges in one raid, you might be doing something wrong.

waxen forge
First thing to do is RESET EXPECTATIONS. Doesnât 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.
bold kernel
yeah that happens on woods, no good loot unless you go lumberyard, which is madness
waxen forge
Woods is not a loot map
Nor is Factory
Loot is tech/hardware for value per square. Tech/Hardware will be much more value per square than gear/weapons.

i dont get why they have cooldown timers to play the game if you die.
obsidian orchid
i know, but its still bad for new players.
Get in the game, die and then you have to wait 20 min.
waxen forge
No it isn't
obsidian orchid
ok then it isnt.
royal wind
You have to wait 20min to play a scav again. You can hop right on to your PMC.
Which is what you should do more of anyways, since progression can only be made through PMC.
manic aspen
if scavs didnt have a cooldown everyone would constantly run them and market prices would be effected by the influx of loot
obsidian orchid
ok, still need to use a shit ton of healing items if you want to go on your PMC tho.
But i guess thats just a reason to have the hideout upgrades.
waxen forge
yea
But if you use scav appropriately you can use scav to make $ and then that money will fund your PMC ammo, gear, meds.
obsidian orchid
Easy solution, do it like in hunt showdown, until youre lvl 10 (or 5) you dont lose all your gear when you die.
royal wind
Car med kit costs like 6k and it essentially heals you to full. Not a shitton required.
waxen forge
This isn't Hunt
manic aspen
as a budget run you can take a couple bandages, couple ai-2, cheap splint and painkillers. like 15k in meds and you should extract with over 200k

15% for the first timer

hunt is pretty easy
royal wind
Level 1 is 16 minutes, level 3 is 12 minutes.
bold kernel
Nice
waxen forge
Point of this conversation is that IF you use scav appropriately and use it to loot tech'/hardware slowly on a Loot map then you can give your PMC time to heal and make $ to fund PMC runs. IF you use your scav to kill stuff then you run risk that you die quickly which doesn't give PMC time to heal and you make no money. Gear/weapons is not value per slot like tech/hardware so using scav to kill people for their guns is leaving a ton of $ on the table.
bold kernel
I usually make 80k on a factory run and use it to heal my pmc with ai-2
waxen forge
80K is tiny money
manic aspen
if you kill someone with a kitted weapon or reap-ir scope its definitely worth it
royal wind
Use Cars metro. You get more for your money.
waxen forge
Scav run on Interchange/Reserve is an easy 200K (usually closer to 400K)
A Reapr IR yes
bold kernel
Keep in mind im new đł

A kitted weapon maybe
But overall fill up bag with tech/hardware is more value per slot than weapon by far

peak wraith
Helmets are literally hit or miss theyll protect you 10% of the time even at the hightest tier its up to you to decide whether you want to wear one with headphones so you can hear or increase the survival rate to 20% by using like a killa helmet
waxen forge
The number of times you will die wearing a good/great helmet will far outweigh the number of times that it saves you. YES it can save you but many many more times it wonât be a factor in your death or will have failed to protect you. Therefore I donât spend much $ on helmets
peak wraith
Personally unless you're using the best helmets theres no reason to use 1
I use a 6b47 and itll save me like 1 time out of 20
Half the time i just go helmetless
royal wind
I just sold 2 fresh altyns with visors to skier. Because I value the money more than the potential lifesaving chances.
peak wraith

somber bolt
Do different suppressors sound different for the same weapon?
waxen forge
Altyn...never I like to hear
royal wind
I'm pretty sure the sound is tied to the weapon and not the suppressors.
peak wraith
Sound saves me more than helmets i typically just buy comtacs instead of a helmet
royal wind
So a suppressed M4 sounds the same regardless of the suppresor.
somber bolt
okey, just trying do decide on a suppressor for the sks, hexagon vs dtk-4m
Probably best off going for hexagon since its cheaper
royal wind
Yeah. Suppressor choice is usually because of price/stats.
ancient falcon
can you die just by couple shots in the leg or do you just get your leg blacked out?
royal wind
You can die.
Once a limb is blacked out, any follow up damage to that limb gets distributed to the rest of your body.
If your total hp hits 0, you die.
somber bolt
Lets hope this preset serves me well 
royal wind
Peope shit on the SKS because the Vepr136 is a better option. But I still think it's fun to use. I like the sound better.
somber bolt
Yea havnt really tried modding that yet, I do like that the FD UAS stock gives decent stats for only 20k ish tho. but maybe vepr is cheaper to get to same stats?
and u cant put a pso scope on them right?
royal wind
No, no dovetail. But you can put the ip59/69 on them which is similar.
royal wind
The base gun is cheaper and has better modding options so you can get better stats. But like I said, I like the sound of the SKS better.

You can swap parts in and out at will and the parts do not need to be in stash to use this feature as this is a âvirtual build.â If you like what you made you can âsaveâ it with a custom name and it will allow you to buy all the parts with the Assemble puzzle piece. Use cog wheel in buy parts section to determine if you only buy from traders or include flea offers.

royal wind
I mean... it looks like that weapon aleady has everything you need.
manic aspen
i recommend the trijicon 3.5 scope with the rmr red dot on top, cheap and efficient
waxen forge
Yea it has a red dot already
Laser will require a mount if that handguard doesn't have a mount already which you can find via the EDIT PRESET function
manic aspen
the flashlight has a laser
waxen forge
For zoom optic + red dot you could either use something like the Bravo (with PK-06 on top) or the HAMR with the red dot on top
rustic willow
I picked an M4A1 off someone earlier this week, haven't really been using it since finding ammo is super difficult at level 4. What LL do the 7.62x51 start appearing more frequently?
manic aspen
the army, air force and marines use the trijicon đ
waxen arch
i have a scope on my weapon now
royal wind
Trijicon is a brand.
waxen arch
where do I put the red dot back tho
waxen forge
yes
So either you need to buy a mount to cant the red dot
Or you need to go without
UNLESS you bought a HAMR/BRAVO or some other zoom optic that has a built in mount for a red dot
As stated above upgrade Hideout workbench then examine every weapon/weapon part on Flea and Use EDIT PRESET so you can learn how to mod a weapon yourself.
manic aspen
you can put this scope and red dot combo together for under 40k, which is as cheap as it gets
waxen arch
wich scope and red dot are those?
manic aspen
trijicon 3.5, trijicon rmr, rm35 mount, and compact mount for sights
willow pebble
I just tried to claim insurance, and kept getting kicked out by errors

willow pebble

rotund falcon
Some guy is streaming eft hacks on YouTube how do I tell the devs about it
rustic willow
I have been working on building my AKM up a bit more, but just got the MP5 from the 8 knives trade. I feel like running the MP5 would set me back as it's 9mm compared to the AKM, opinions?
rotund falcon
Definitely akm
waxen forge
Break into parts and sell to Skier then rest to Mechanic
rustic willow
I mean, I would run the M4A1 but I can't get any ammo for it do to my low level.
Cool, will do.
Shoreline has been my learning map, and I run Scav on their primarily to get the lay of the land and game.
Just picked it up last week, and it definitely has a different learning curve than most realistic games.
waxen forge
@rustic willow First thing to do is RESET EXPECTATIONS. Doesnât 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.
royal wind
I feel like Shoreline is a great map for new players to get accustomed to the game and learn the mechanics.
royal wind
Bit slower paced and boring for the more xperienced folk, but great for the new people to learn on.
And it's not a warzone like customs is right now.
Althought customs is starting to slow down a bit.
rustic willow
That is why I have been running Shoreline. I played a bit of Arma 3 so that is where my realistic experience is coming from, but i mean, I have played all other styles of shooters as well.
So run Customs, Offline with Scavs.
Got it
waxen forge
Then learn interchange with scav
royal wind
I think peacekeeper starts selling the decent ammo atl evel 2?
But its behind a quest.
Dont remember which one.
lyric storm
Pk starts selling m80 at lvl 2
royal wind
He's asking about 5.56
lyric storm
Oh that then prolly not at lvl 2
rustic willow

lyric storm

stone surge
@waxen forge if you push hard enough you might get 7.62 in there

Usec gang
Also, I have been doing alot of naked runs on pmc, is this a good way to get stuff or should I pack some
royal wind
You said youve been doing it a lot. Has it been working for you to get stuff?
fallen relic
Yeah
lyric storm
Take any gun
royal wind
If it has, do what works for you.
fallen relic
Kinda well
waxen forge
Die with no weapon and return to stash with 1% health
lyric storm
Preferably a toz
waxen forge
Die with a weapon 30% health
fallen relic
Alpha case and all that
waxen forge
Now scavs hunt down hatchlings
fallen relic
Oh
lyric storm
Yee
fallen relic
I have like 3 rifles and some makrovs with bp
lyric storm
Bp is best ammo for 7.62 weapons
waxen forge
Use scav to loot tech/hardware on Interchange or reserve.
fallen relic
Almost escaped with a mosin but yeah, I bleed out
waxen forge
Sell the loot to make $
fallen relic
Oh, I play customs
fallen relic
Really?
waxen forge

To make $ loot tech/hardware and sell it
waxen forge
If you pick up a weapon in 2nd slot and pistol slot cool
fallen relic
Good to know
waxen forge
If you scav and trade up to better gear cool
But you need to loot value per square stuff
fallen relic
I'll play more scav
waxen forge
Then Sell it...checking therapist vs. flea
IF therapist is close to flea then sell to her
fallen relic
I remember I died as a scav with a lab card, not fun
waxen forge
Meanwhile use PMC to do tasks and practice. Use offline if you need to
fallen relic
Ok
waxen forge
As a scav your goal is to get loot.
waxen forge
No reason to kill ai scavs and can avoid PMC to make money
lyric storm
If you want really good loot go la- interchange
fallen relic
Ok
broken sundial
Hi guy, someone know why PCC temp on shortline is not available all time ?
lyric storm
I doesn't spawn all the time
waxen forge

rustic willow
Oh, one more point, is there a way to check your exfil's in game after the initial spawn in?

rustic willow
Double tap..... frick, I was just single pressing it.
I missed exfil too because I had to run to the head during load
Thanks @violet void
agile forge
Pro tip: remap double O to just O
bold kernel
So 7n39 is best ammo for ak?
static lance
yes
lyric storm
Yes but it's expensive
bold kernel
thx raiders
lyric storm
And no one's gonna wear lvl 6 armour all the time
bold kernel
hmm well
lyric storm
Tbh you're better off with bs
bold kernel

yeah but i think i shouldnt sell these
just use these
I completely forgot, where does the LedX spawn on 301 spawn at?
lyric storm
The other on the other adjacent room on the computer desk
bold kernel
Ok

violet void
Yo for 545 is bt okay?
lyric storm
Yes
bold kernel

white horizon
what does the fist on the maps mean?
manic aspen
most people are here for advice, you can find players in #pvp-lfg or a sherpa to walk you through the basics in #sherpa-info
white horizon
when you select the maps, there's a player limit, a fist, and then time limit
the fist usually has like normal, insane, hard etc.
manic aspen
how hard do you like to be fisted?
white horizon
but i noticed it's different now, my factory says "easy" but my friend' says breeze.
uncut socket
it's based on level but has no effect
white horizon
oh, odd to have that in if it never atters

also noticed, the wiki says 35mins for customs but it says 25 currently

the wiki is right and the game is wrong
gentle perch
Hey can anyone help me with a list of Reserve keys That are worth the money for value, saves wasting 500k on keys that only open small chances of loot, if anyone can PM me a list or link me to a page/site with the key ill need. That'll be nice, thank you

ye thats what i tried so far
nocturne heart
whats the best way of getting the loot from the marked room, just got my first key
wispy finch
still doesnt make it easier
grave stump
i think run through is based on xp so kill like 2 scavs and loot them then dojne
wispy finch
still shitty you need that quest for kappa
royal wind
The hardest part is not being a run through. The surviving is easy.
manic aspen
bring cash for dorms exit if going marked room
grave stump
do you need to do stylish one for kappa?
wispy finch
no
grave stump
ok phew
wispy finch
so i dont get why you need this one
nocturne heart
@manic aspen is that cash exit always there? and was it 7k roubles?
nocturne heart
do you reckon its best to go in as hatchet and just try my luck? obvs get 25 tries
or like cheap backpack alongside
manic aspen
definitely backpack for the weapons case
wispy finch
scav backpack
nocturne heart
ooo i dont even know what the loot is so thanks
on the wiki it just says multiple rare items and weapon spawns
