balmy nest
Where the hell do you find fuel? I know you can buy it on the flea market but where does it spawn?'
sharp cave
@balmy nest Oli is the best place to go usually
flat cipher
you want an icase, weapons case are bad
for price to size ratio
and item cases can store weapons
bold kernel
How much are there
flat cipher
You were talking about knife running factory earlier
cases are a bit out of your scope atm
focus on learning the game first
prisma slate
I was just in a gun fight with another pscav at the little cargo container with barbed wire you can pass through and all the sudden my ears started ringing insanely and he rushed what caueses that? no way it was a flash bcuz I was flashed at all.
salty cuz I lost a solid amount of gear off some bodys over there :c
main grail
anyone know who to sell beta container to
@prisma slate you probably got hit in the head with a bullet, it gives you concussion, making ur vision blurry and making a loud ass ringing noise
bold kernel
Dam this gsme@is realistic
prisma slate
damn that musta been it im confused as fuck what shot me though
jolly terrace
did ur scav have a helmet stalk>
prisma slate
yeah
jolly terrace
yeah thats a ricochet proc
prisma slate
ah
jolly terrace
gives u concussion and ear ringing, but doesnt hurt u that bad
bold kernel
Gamma container
prisma slate
that shit dead ass scarred the hell out of me I was just healing up and grabbing shit to run then all the sudden I got hit with dat I jumped in my chair
jolly terrace
basically a concussion with the ringing is the game saying "without this helmet, you'd be dead"
yeah it still makes me jump sometimes if it happens outta nowhere
balmy nest
are the spawns pre-defined, or are they random?
flat cipher
pmc spawns are predefined btu not guaranteed
there are places you CAN spawn, but they wont always have someone spawn there
scav spawns are completely random
you could spawn behind the kitchen counter of the subway in interchange
balmy nest
and player/regular scavs spawn whenever, not just in the beginning of the raid?
flat cipher
they can spawn 2 minutes after pmc, they can spawn with 12 minutes left
completely random
scavs get, random stats, random gear, random spawns, random start times
balmy nest
right, i know that. I just killed 9 scavs once and thought I had cleared the area then got dinked by yet another scav.
balmy nest
lol
flat cipher
they respawn etc
balmy nest
but pmcs spawn once and once they're dead that's it?
flat cipher
mhm
balmy nest
are there any loot spawn/map guides that you recommend?
im having a REALLY fucking rough start to my Tarkov career
balmy nest
I get fucking hosed every time I go interchange so I'm always so scared to go there
flat cipher
red if i spawn near oli, blue if i spawn near idea
or, wherever, if im planning on getting into pvp
balmy nest
Every fucking interchange run is get to Oli, die to a VSS burst, lose what little money I have
balmy nest
yup
bold kernel
I have a knife
bold kernel
And I hide in a bush or behind a barrel
bold kernel
😦
frank beacon
are u trolling
ionic ingot
hey so like... can someone help my friend and i with tarkov? we are lost.
bold kernel
What’s up @ionic ingot
flat cipher
bold kernel
@frank beacon and if ur talking to me no
balmy nest
What's this about scavs randomly aggroing hatchlings?
flat cipher
depends what ur after, nate
bold kernel
I’m not
ionic ingot
hello @bold kernel !
flat cipher
if you dont have a weapon and bag (or rig)
ai scavs aggro
from super far distances
to counteract people hatchet running
bold kernel
Even if it’s in ur bag?
flat cipher
yes
bold kernel
Damm
flat cipher
it has to be EQUIPPED
bold kernel
Oh ok
ionic ingot
i need a sherpa. im so new to this. ive lost everything.. even my wife 😉 helppppp
bold kernel
But if doesn’t matter if it’s drawn or not
balmy nest
so having a gun and bag makes the AI difficulty go down?
balmy nest
as opposed to?
bold kernel
True
bold kernel
It’s just I’ll lose it 😂
flat cipher
so?
youre wasting your time if you dont
at least you can actually kill scavs
and get loots
frank beacon
like what map are you even playing with no gun
bold kernel
Factory
frank beacon
you're still playing factory..?
flat cipher
hes all urs seasonal
bold kernel
No I went to customs
frank beacon
i told you not to play factory if you want to get money.
bold kernel
😂😂😂
ionic ingot
@bold kernel can my friend and i join you??
flat cipher
6/7 hit
flat cipher
theyre useless
balmy nest
I see hatchlings in woods all the time, not sure what happens to them cuz the boss or walking fortresses always cane me shortly afterwards
bold kernel
Bullets
flat cipher
no
good bullets dont
Learn whats good
use a gun
budget run
learn where to loot
get used to the game
dont knife run
bold kernel
😂
frank beacon
you think ur funny troll?
balmy nest
Anyone suggest a workable lvl 1 vendor loadout?
prisma slate
sks paca ssh
frank beacon
sks ps rounds barter for 6b5
balmy nest
okay, ive been running that, what round should I use in the sks?
flat cipher
BP is the best in class but PS works for most budget armours
balmy nest
I still keep encountering geared to the gills players.
frank beacon
if ur running customs stay away from dorms its my territory
flat cipher
You get used to it
frank beacon
i peed on the grass outside
flat cipher
I'll drink it and make it my own territory fuck you
frank beacon
is that a threat?
flat cipher
balmy nest
I just laugh when they burn two nades and a mag worth of SP-5 to get my oak flakes and sks.
balmy nest
either way, they have these places locked down.
flat cipher
Yep it's part of the game
balmy nest
how can i proceed in this game if I stand no chance against these people
balmy nest
explain to me what an experienced player with no money would do
because im fucking stumped
sour plume
Pistol run reserve/interchange/shoreline with/without keys and make money
flat cipher
^
bleak nova
doesnt matter what gun ur using if ur using crap ammo u might as well be shooting bb guns at people with good armour
flat cipher
The gun doesn't matter 90% of the time
balmy nest
learned that the hard way on customs
sour plume
Vepr KM with PS is an extremely cost efficient loadout for killing people, just requires you to aim face
flat cipher
Vepr km is just sks with 30 rounds and more modding options
balmy nest
is there a pistol that's viable early game?
sour plume
PS is basically free and vepr KM is like 15k lol
flat cipher
And half the price
The tt @balmy nest
Five seven is best but it's not cheap
Tt is fairly common
sour plume
PM with PMM
balmy nest
im still all on lvl 1 traders so I can't geht one
balmy nest
yeah but i doubt i can afford a 5-7 from the flea market
sour plume
well, at the very least
flat cipher
50k I think
sharp cave
5-7 are like 30k the other variant the brown one
balmy nest
I dont think i like the SKS
sour plume
PM + 2 mags loaded with PMM and some reserve ammo in alpha
sour plume
you can kinda pen fshields and kill scavs
balmy nest
It's cool when I have room to breathe but all my problems are when other players get close
sour plume
gear aside, cqb in this game is pretty similar to others. information & reflexes have the biggest advantage
jolly mason
use the vss with sp5 a lvl 4 rig and zsh 200k loadout
sour plume
okay first off, no
jolly mason
yes
jolly mason
why not
sour plume
because no headphones = bad
balmy nest
I don thave 200k, lol
sour plume
very bad
jolly mason
ur bad
sour plume
second, don't use sp-5 on a 40-50k gun
jolly mason
just go onto reserve pocket one item and u can pay for the loadout
sour plume
you're better off buying a 15k gun and using nearly free ammo which is almost as effective
balmy nest
is that what im doing wrong?? I'm never using a headset on my character
jolly mason
sp-5 is better then 500 rouble a round 5.56
sour plume
good thing nobody ever mentioned 5.56
jolly mason
use comtacs
sour plume
aside from the ammo, sound is by far the most important part of your kit
information gained through hearing will be far more valuable to you than any armor or helmet could be
jolly mason
dont listen to him vss sp-5 most op loadout it will kill lvl 5 armor kits
bold kernel
I only saw a gate
sour plume
if the car isn't at the gate then somebody's already used it and it's no longer available
balmy nest
they give you a much bigger heads up when someone is coming towards you
I got one off a PMC before and both mine and other ppls footsteps were louder
after i put it on
bold kernel
Nice
I just confused how they enchance footsteps when they suppose to cancel sounds
Im still trying to figure out ammo types and what’s effective n what ammo goes for which gun
Apparently there’s better ammo
sour plume
!ammo
jovial starBOT
sour plume
feel free to read my take on it
bold kernel
Oh my this is extensive
Thanks for summing it up
How do I know which bullets fit
Will it say on the gun
sour plume
When you inspect a gun it'll tell you the caliber in the name
should be the case for most guns
Also
if you open a gun and look at the stats, it'll always say at the bottom left of them
like this for the mosin
bottom left it says Caliber 7.62x54R
sour plume
for mosins? yes
bold kernel
Thank you this is really useful
sour plume

proper ginkgo
is there any way i can make sure hideout upgrade doesnt use my quest item?
agile forge
@proper ginkgo I don’t think so, nothing I tried worked. Which quest item?
proper ginkgo
@agile forge I just figured it out, just list it on flea for something that will make it not get bought lol... barter trade or really expensive then remove it
agile forge
And it comes back still “found in raid”?
proper ginkgo
@agile forge Ill have to test that with something else first but all my trades are full
agile forge
Which quest item is it, just curious
proper ginkgo
fireklean
agile forge
Oh yeah, those are hard to find
quiet helm
can someone let me know what's an easy way to get money or loot? I got this game today and I've basically lost everything already I'm down to my last pistol with 40k rubles left
proper ginkgo
@quiet helm youre doing the right thing, just gotta do it in the right areas. Interchange is great and there are loads of loot runs on youtube that are good for beginners. Reserve is another decent one, its loaded with loot, again look up a guide
quiet helm
@proper ginkgo okay will do
proper ginkgo
@quiet helm thats about it for loot, other maps are really meh. You can try scav running resort at shoreline. Oh yeah and always use your scav when youre starting out trying to get money. itll also help you learn the areas without dying on your pmc
@quiet helm also, Id say a pistol is basically a waste. If you run into a pmc, most will not even flinch at your pistol. Try a hunter with m80, cheap and so OP that even the most geared players are mad at it lmfao
@quiet helm and if youre feeling really ballsy, bring a bit of m62, you can take down ANY geared player in the game with the hunter and m62 if you just hit your shots
just bring in like 1 full 10 mag or 2 if its expensive for you, but for now m80 will be more than enough
the vepr+m80 will be the best bang for your buck for a long time
quiet helm
@proper ginkgo bet, thanks for the info man I'm really enjoying the game it's just the steepest learning curve that I've experienced since dark souls and siege combined
proper ginkgo
@quiet helm anytime! And ohhhh fuck yeah. I considered myself a well above average FPS player and I've been gaming for 10+ years and I've never come across anything like tarkov. youll get through it, its mostly learning, putting in time and effort, and gaining experience.
Its quite something
I feel like Im at least a decent player now with decent all around knowledge but I'm not over the learning phase, im just entering a new learning phase lol
dusk token

jovial starBOT
quiet helm
here I am just trying to get my first successful extract lol
proper ginkgo
@quiet helm let me just reassure you, you don't lack the skill to extract. Don't even fret.
twin zealot
Im currently at the stage of the game where I'm making it out at a 33% rate if I'm trying to avoid all confrontation, 8% of that if I'm forcing pvp. My storage is packed and my cash flow is around 130k - 750k based on raid success rates. Quests are still challenging where success isn't achieved in each game so instead of buying meds and healing my guy up I do my scav runs to either grab gear for next pmc run or i push for pvp just to practice with no risk.
Is there anything I need to change or I could do to speed up progression other than gettin' gud?
prisma slate
whats good armor for runs with a hunter
verbal summit
nothing
proper ginkgo
Definitely bring armor, wtf are you saying pepga
pepega
@prisma slate anything, but to keep within the budget, 6b3tm is good bang for buck lvl 4
@prisma slate do you have ragman ll2
prisma slate
6b3tm to much for me atm thats something id run for my "geared" runs and no
verbal summit
its a budget gun lol
proper ginkgo
@austere prism there is budget armor
no armor is an easy way to waste whatever youre running
verbal summit
bring an armored rig if u can but i wouldnt suggest a helmet if your budgeting
bold kernel
hey 🙂
proper ginkgo
if you bring a gun you should bring armor
verbal summit
not a helmet
verbal summit
hes on a budget
proper ginkgo
@prisma slate 6b3tm is cheapest lvl 4, so youd have to get lvl 3 armor but I wouldnt get anything weaker than that
@sand helm 6b5-16 armored rig probs best bet
not a lot of room iirc
proper ginkgo
@spark cobalt check the 6b5-16, if it has enough room in it for you there you go
prisma slate
6b5-16 seems cheaper most of the time by a little bit is it much different?
proper ginkgo
@stiff coral its lvl 3, decent difference there. so if its only barely cheaper Id say upgrade to the lvl 4 6b3tm
youll survive more often
and you can easily profit with it still
prisma slate
o
hushed snow
is offline mode a decent way to practice?
prisma slate
yes
proper ginkgo
most pmc ammo will go right through lvl 3, even scav ammo
prisma slate
oo yikes
proper ginkgo
@hushed snow absolutely, equally good is player scaving
@stiff coral yeah so 6b3tm is great beginner budget armor
prisma slate
honestly I might just wear no vest for hunter runs lol
proper ginkgo
I wouldnt do that for very long. Youll die from scavs you wont even see or that you run into
especially when as a beginner you make a lot of mistakes
the armor will save you
worthy cobalt
When I dont have money I just run sks with ps ammo and some meds. No vest nothing. I have a headset and a cheap helmet so I can hear better and my head dont shine like the sun. I started that build just to go and kill scavs for task, but I ended up killing so pmc's almost every raid so I had to just extract 😄 Just 1 hour ago I killed a pmc at over 100m with iron sigts sks and he could not even hit me with scopet awesome sks
proper ginkgo
if youre not going to bring armor id go back to pistol runs cause youll lose money
if you bring a vepr, bring amor
armor
worthy cobalt
dont do pistol they do nothing
proper ginkgo
thats what I said
worthy cobalt
if you cant aford ammo
prisma slate
yeah I dont want to go so low as to use pistols
worthy cobalt
just buy the sks from prapor
proper ginkgo
but bringing a vepr with no armor when they cant do pistol runs and make money will make them only lose money faster
@stiff coral vepr with no armor will just make you die just as fast but with more valuable items
so if youre broke now, you wont even last one death lol
proper ginkgo
just use a vepr km not an sks
worthy cobalt
who sels an vepr tho?
hushed furnace
bp would be a better choice
proper ginkgo
@hushed furnace theyre too broke
worthy cobalt
ofc bp would be better but it costs more and ps does more than enough agaist most people
hushed furnace
ah
prisma slate
im not REALLY broke just I want a cheap loadout so I can learn the ropes without breaking my bank
worthy cobalt
But I dont think thye vepr is better than sks but that just my opinion
prisma slate
also I play alot thorugh lfg so I run into some pepegas who mess raids up
worthy cobalt
sks is so cheap from prapor that you earn it back with one scav kill
proper ginkgo
@worthy cobalt i never said it was better
worthy cobalt
then why would you say to use it instead of sks? should not be wierd that I assumed it then
prisma slate
what kinda makes sks seem nicer to is just being able to carry half or so of my ammo in my secure
proper ginkgo
@prisma slate you dont have flea yet? If you dont yeah sks is just fine but once you get flea, vepr km is better for very cheap runs, hunter+m80 to actually kill people with gear
split vapor
sks bad
prisma slate
no ive got flea
split vapor
fal suppressor scope and m80=profit
proper ginkgo
@prisma slate True that is very useful for you. Also you cant get vepr km until you get flea without having to trade in horse statues
@split vapor breh these guys are noobs theyre not running an fal
@split vapor I think they dont even have flea unlocked
prisma slate
facts am noob
proper ginkgo
@prisma slate sks is fine if you dont have flea yet, buy from prapor
worthy cobalt
the biggest reason I like the sks for cheap loadout is that I dont need mags
prisma slate
yeah
proper ginkgo
But I would still recommend at least lvl 3 armor lol
worthy cobalt
since I run without rig or backpack
proper ginkgo
Well theres your problem
prisma slate
keep some ammo in pockets or an MRig and some in your secure container
proper ginkgo
youll never make enough money if you only loot 2 items lol
proper ginkgo
@prisma slate unless youre doing that, bring a cheap bag to pick up loot since youre broke. and use your player scav!
split vapor
What’s with the random pings
worthy cobalt
if I go for loot runs I go with west and a backpack
prisma slate
yeah generally I try to actually always bring a scav bp or berkut since I constantly hit brick walls where I run out of storage with mbss quick
worthy cobalt
Scav runs is where you should make you money when you are new I feel like anyway.
prisma slate
yeah
worthy cobalt
And dont play on too many maps before you know the game more
prisma slate
I always just go to has station clean up loot/team kill scavs then dip, generally I wont run into anyone and its some ez money
worthy cobalt
on customs?
prisma slate
yeah
worthy cobalt
I feel like I always run in to people at the gas station 😄
prisma slate
its the only map so far im semi competent at
worthy cobalt
same even tho I kinda hate it. I like shoreline and woods more
prisma slate
I have not tried shoreline out yet, ive heard tales out much loot though.
worthy cobalt
Now my tasks are sending me to factory and I'm too scared to go in there and do them
bold kernel
should i just discard my paca armor
worthy cobalt
sell it
prisma slate
^
worthy cobalt
to ragman
worthy cobalt
ofc if you are in a raid and got something better then yeah
bold kernel
ragman dont buy paca
prisma slate
@bold kernel from what ive been told if your ona budget 6b3tm is your best bet really that is still half decent
bold kernel
thanks man ill check it out
worthy cobalt
yeah I would also take that if you have no money
maybe 6b13 if you need a bigger rig for some reason
prisma slate
man I gota do these quests for prapor and therapist but im so lazy and dont want to do them at all lmfao
plus I never solo and dont want to drag lfg people around on them
prisma slate
facts
worthy cobalt
paca is useless
prisma slate
from what ive been told itll sometimes help against pistols and shotgun scavs
worthy cobalt
you dont strictly need to do tasks. You can buy everything of the flea market and just live of looting and selling
prisma slate
I could but leveling traders is such a big part of the game
bold kernel
apparently tasks give u good containers so thats why
and some tasks help improve me at the game in my opinion
prisma slate
eventually yeah
bold kernel
but im on prapors quest where i have to kill 15 scavs on woods
ive killed 4 so far
its not that hard just need to avoid pmcs
prisma slate
welp im going to go do stuff was fun chatting thanks for advice 👍 gl
bold kernel
and use stealth
worthy cobalt
yeah when you have done all tasks you get the best container
bold kernel
Bye 🙂
worthy cobalt
but thats gonna take a good while
bold kernel
Yeah Kappa contaienr
i doubt ill get all tasks done by this wipe
but if i learn a lot its possible next wipe
worthy cobalt

If you wanna be a quiet stealth boy it seems like a sketchkin and a silencer is only in the range of 22,000 roubles. Not a whole lot actually. Plus whatever ammo and mags you take aswell you can have a silenced gun for pretty cheap.
I'm wondering if it'd be worth it to run that on a map like customs.
Ah yes the scav spawn with 2 paracord where you instantly make a shit ton of money selling paracord

If you want to use gate 3 just take some grenades and shoot through the walls

initial cost of 150k, and then you can fix it for like 40k or so when its at 1

@ornate moss health resort safe key, health resort management office safe key, cottage safe key?

is there any point in insuring your sicc case / the keys in it?
split vapor
Not really
karmic garden
@bold kernel find someone to play with/request a sherpa
@ornate moss the only reason is if you do it, it stops asking you on the insurance screen when you select insure all
ornate moss
ok i manually insure anyways
bold kernel
all the good helmets so fucking expenisve
bold kernel
why does everyone want a paracord
pine nest
you can use it for extract on ....reserve? or woods
bold kernel
well ive been to the extract
ornate moss
you can extract on woods and reserve @bold kernel
bold kernel
i dont think its worth 200k
not even for reserve
unless ur getting fat loot
fuck reserve
its so hard
ornate moss
well it is for the people running 1m+ gear 😉
primal nymph
Yeah
ornate moss
and you can trade paracord for item cases & stuff like that
primal nymph
Scav extractrs like cp fence and hole by mountains are easier to hit
ornate moss
another reason its expensive
bold kernel
i tried to extract by the train when i went reserve
primal nymph
Nope
bold kernel
some geared dude popped a flasbang and cleared the train
primal nymph
Unless you're a great shot or have a team thats a bad idea
bold kernel
no shit
i learnt the hard way
i spent like 20 minutes looting only to die by some geared dude

Stock M4 with M856A1 is like 5x better than stock 5-7
and its only a little bit more expensive.
The pistol prices are messed up right now given how worthless they are.
tardy pond
Maybe a suply and demand issue?
I dont think ive ever found a 5-7 in raid but i have m4's multiple times

anyone fancy helping a starter on EU, can't deal with squads anymore 😦

If something like this hapoens again, try running it as an administrator might help @bold kernel
gaunt path
do you honestly have to do all the quests to make any kind of progression or can you function reasonably without doing them and just playing
pastel steeple
What's a suggested weapon to use that is fairly cheap and strong too?
pale estuary
hey, kinda new here but any advice how to do some of the starter quests, really finding it hard to run customs
tardy pond
@pastel steeple vepr hunter with m80 rounds or vss
chilly plume
tardy pond
@gaunt path you dont have to do them but the experience required to level grows exponentially
So the exp is really usefull
@chilly plume what map?
@pale estuary you can find some guides on yt or wiki, but customs is fairly easy and everything comes with experience and knowledge
pale estuary
@tardy pond yeah ive watch them and that, i just get destroyed when in dorms doing the water run and in construction
gaunt path
it wasnt until I was really comfortable with a weapon setup, running a good route, familiar with all the scavs and stuff that I could do those quests
I practiced offline
tardy pond
@pale estuary just put the key in your gamma and run into two story dorms its not that had a quest to do imo
But what isk says really helps, i had a bunch of hours in the game alrdy before i did wuests
pale estuary
cheers mate

this is literally the best picture representation of where I am in this game. Besides gear fear (in which I just sell most guns over 50,000), I feel stuck. I haven't survived any good raids in weeks and try to play sneaky and avoid firefights. I can't even do that right. Any suggestions to get out of this loop?
pine rain
What are the maps that "aren't" pvp maps somehow?
Considering there are maps that are called pvp maps.
tardy pond
@keen oak running more expensive gear is literally the way to go, and losing it.
One of the Sherpas here told me once this game is all about former experience and knowledge so literally the only thing that will help is game time
ornate moss
is scav box with hatchling worth it?
tardy pond
What?
solemn pike
@pine rain IMO, there are only two true PVP maps.
Woods and Customs.
Interchange and Reserve both you can get a ton of PvE and looting.
tardy pond
@ornate moss im not sure ive heard people get good stuff before
solemn pike
this is a dumb question. When you look at the damage dealt to body in the after action report, does that mean damage dealt outside of the head, or is the head included in that?
tardy pond
Yeah, idk probably something to spend money on once you have enough
@solemn pike i think it counts that aswell
solemn pike
I just got seriously lucky, I have 650hrs in this game. I killed killa by mistake the past 2 days for my first killa kills.
i only run Interchange.,
Both times SA58 I headshotted him to death.
both times wasnt wearing armor.
ornate moss
everything is included that you dont damage armor with
so you if you penetrate armor
it counts as body damage
tardy pond
Yeah the fal packs a punch, what ammo you using? @solemn pike
tardy pond
Ooohh sick
ornate moss
do you skill charachter skills if you eat something in menu
for example metabolismn
or health
tardy pond
Nope
Only in raid
Metabolism that is
I believe healing in the menu does grant you treatment exp tho
ancient falcon
how do i add a vertical grip to my ak74m?
do you need a different mount of each type of AK?
e.g. ak74n
tardy pond
You need either a handguard that can fit a grip or a rail that can add one @ancient falcon
ancient falcon
how do i know what rail or mount is compatible?
spark spruce
Right click > Linked search
south dune
Or if you have workbench you can Edit preset in the weapon and check all the pieces there
jagged prawn
When buying eft standard edition am I able to upgrade to left behind edition?
spark spruce
Yep
jagged prawn
And what does it mean preorder? Do I need to wait some time after buying game or?
spark spruce
You can upgrade to any other edition afterwards and it just costs you the difference in price
Nah it's a "pre-order" for the full release essentially
But you get your Beta access right away
jagged prawn
Oh thats nice
ancient falcon
yeah linked search is BS
tardy pond
Why?
spark spruce
unique nymph
Really annoying when you're trying to kill a scav and all you hear is "click"
ancient falcon
I buy a handguard I find from there and it says incompatible even though it says its for AK
harsh ibex
eyy just had a pretty good run
tardy pond
It probably requires a handguard my dude
harsh ibex
tardy pond
Or a rail
harsh ibex
i just grabbed the caches and avoided the mall

Sick owo case btw😂

Wjats it called

Might be for different caliber
Or your slot isnt empty
You should really right click and edit oreset

And go from there

Allows you to buy oarts from the market

And assemble it

unique nymph
I put a scope on it but looks awkward
solemn pike
Hunter is like my favorite gun in the game honestly.
unique nymph
what scope ?
solemn pike
@harsh ibex I'm gonna be home in like an hour. I'll play with you, help you learn Interchange if you want.
rotund sand
Hunter is probably a good gun for people who know how to aim
rotund sand
and for those who don't like me, nothing is a good weapon
harsh ibex
owo
and i have enough interchange raids under my belt to know just about where the gud shid at
unique nymph
I play offline mode to learn maps. So far I've learned customs and factory
harsh ibex
is the hunter that good?
bold kernel
any new players looking to run some customs. bout to do a budget run figured id ask if anyone needed any help
harsh ibex
everyone always says its great?
fiery rover
Well yes
bold kernel
hunter with m61 is op
fiery rover
Its cheap strong and Not much recoil
fiery rover
Also you play it with m80 Not m62
M80 is a one tap in the chest
So its good against armored players as well
rotund sand
@bold kernel can I join?
bold kernel
if you see a scav kill him is a 1x5
so dont take to much space
@rotund sand yeah buddy im gonna be in the "5 Golf" channel if any new players wana tag along
rotund sand
I'm potato, though, so, there is that
bold kernel
scroll down on the left side where all the channels are like you clicked in beginners assistance but scroll down and youll see alot more channels itll be a the bottom called (5)
solemn pike
When I get home in like an hour or so feel free to Dm me and we can run Interchange. Happy to teach anyone the map. We can do kiba runs too.
tardy pond
I still need to get kiba keys
bold kernel
same lol
solemn pike
Honestly not super worth it. But I love the thrill of going in knowing theres probably a sniper somewhere in the main concourse waiting for you.
The 2 seconds it takes to unlock the doors and go in
solemn pike
Emercom can spawn graphics cards and other decent loot? But it's not worth the noise you make.
tardy pond
Wait emercom spawns loot?
tardy pond
Upstairs emercom? That requires a key?
fiery rover
Emercon is downstairs
unique nymph
@tardy pond Can you recommend a scope for the hunter that isn't a red dot?
unique nymph
ty @fiery rover
tardy pond
I personally like the elcan spectre 1x 4x but ive never ran it on a hunter
Ive never used the monster prism so idk
fiery rover
Yeah emercon should have an ledx spawn Not that i ever find any

Yeah

@solemn pike I really don't know anything about the game as I got the game now.. so I need assistance for beginning 😦
tardy pond
@bold kernel geekseh on youtube has good starter video's that were usefull too me, recommend watching them
solemn pike
Yeah I dont sweat that. I could bring you some gear and we could go.
bold kernel
Sure , I am waiting .. 🙂
solemn pike
Just watch my back that's all.

anyone wanna do money runs on reserve

@bold kernel what do you wanna use ?

I have a really really dumb question
Curious to know being a lvl 8 should I do quests or look for keys and or both
bold kernel
@solemn pike I dont know 😦 u need to guide me please 😦
ornate moss
whats a budget m4 for scav quest kills?
solemn pike
The M4s I run are totally stock with a silencer
Using m856a1 ammo the stock M4 isn't as bad as people say.
bold kernel
@solemn pike Sure.. let me know when you are home so we can play
solemn pike
Are you up to level 5?
fiery rover
Both
bold kernel
@solemn pike I dont know , how to check
fiery rover
@unique nymph do both but i would Do either specific key runs U wanna use or buy the Keys if they are Not that expensive
unique nymph
ok @fiery rover thx man
fiery rover
Quest Do help you most with leveling and trader rep and some rewards are nice
But they also help you learn the map and how to play
@bold kernel pressbtab and go to skill Tab while in raid offraid just go to your stash and the skill tab
vast birch
Guys, I just came out of a raid and got some pretty good things but I didn't have enough space so I had to delete some things like an AK47 with a lot of attachments (I did uninstall some attachments but I couldn't keep all of them). I don't want this to happen again so I have a question, Is there a way to expand your stash?
bold kernel
Upgrade stash in hideout or buy containers
solemn pike
@vast birch yes. You can buy EoD edition or upgrade it through the stash
Stash upgrade costs 3.5m roubles.
bold kernel
There's multiple upgrades
solemn pike
EoD edition is 25% off right now I think.
flat cipher
20
solemn pike
But I'm not gonna tell people to upgrade their game when the servers are dogshit right now.
vast birch
Thanks for the help
silver dome
why is it taking so long to match in labs? literally noone is playing?
solemn pike
Its Sunday and the servers haven't gone down yet.
pine rain
Probably too many players in queue
I'm just sitting there waiting for customs again
Lotsa people in the list
heavy rivet
different servers have different wait times. If youre waiting way too long, go and look at the servers once the game is loaded back up for a faster game
meager girder

If you wait longer than 3 Minutes in matching the Server is overloaded its Not that too few people are playing rather too many

Watches that Video its interesting but doesnt really helpt with making a choice in what Headset to wear
In my opinion
