worthy cobalt
when we are talking about woods. Is there actually a good map for loot or is it just a map for tasks and killing people?
honest tusk
Woods sucks for loot
Probably one of the worst in the game
Mainly for kills and tasks
Or for boss
worthy cobalt
yeah I feel the same thats why I find it wierd that people play it so much
honest tusk
Pretty much every level has a reason to go there
Quests for low levels running mosin and there are things like tarkov shooter for high level
Etc etc
worthy cobalt
I do some scav runs there if I have a good scav I want to extract with 100% its so easy on woods to extract so
honest tusk
I would personally recommend learning reserve for all scav runs
The loot is just so good
And the extracts are easy as scav
Very easy to make millions
Also raiders to kill
worthy cobalt
Can you extract with bag and rig as a scav there?
worthy cobalt
yeah I watched a video on that map and I did not want to play it at all because of the extracts
but right now I need to do factory so much.... I have like 3 tasks there and I do not want to do them
I need to go to interchange for a couple of tasks, should I go day and just try to dodge people or go night with nvg's?
quiet helm
can someone tell me what the symbol under the merchants on the flea market is supposed to represent? the one with the decimal number and blue triangle next to it
@worthy cobalt I would recommend night so long as you know the map day if youre not familiar with the map

Just sell the wrenches
worthy cobalt
Isnt this m4 kinda shit? https://gyazo.com/1993f7894df6c774f054e632bac4de5b
like low ergo and high recoil
bold kernel
do i sell the an AK-47 since i already have an AK-MS and a AK-74?
worthy cobalt
I would just sell anything you will not use
Or if you dont have more space and you got other guns you want to use over that
karmic garden
@worthy cobalt yeah it's not a good build
worthy cobalt
Never tried an m4 before so I'm not sure if I want to try and fix it or just sell it
I would like to try tho
karmic garden
You'd need to replace almost every part
tardy pond
Lol that scope😂
worthy cobalt
I'm not surprised I could just rush him with my sks
tardy pond
Sniper m4
worthy cobalt
There is a side red dot tho
tardy pond
I think a ergo ps pistol grip and a rk2 might help with recoil alot alrdy
You should check
karmic garden
The meta build is murs upper, advanced tube, hk e1 stock, psg-1 grip, sai qd (long) handguard, 20" barrel, jp enterprises gas block, wave muzzle brake and suppressor, mbus irons
Oh and rk-2
worthy cobalt
yeah it will. But I dont know about the other parts so I will have to look in to the costs tomorrow
karmic garden
Costs about 330-350k total on flea
worthy cobalt
So its the internal parts that are expensive then
karmic garden
Oh and raptor charging handle
worthy cobalt
well I think I might try anyway and use it when I play duo with my friend
I saved the build you said so I can look in to it tomorrow 😄 Good night and thanks
tardy pond
I have multiple meta m4's but i still have to use em 😅
karmic garden
If you want to do it cheaper, swap the foregrip for an rk-1, swap the handguard for sai qd, swap the buffer tube for advance tube and the stock for hk e1 or cst
You could also sell the kac suppressor and buy a wave with the money from the kac covering 50% or so
@worthy cobalt
worthy cobalt
Thanks a lot I will try when I wake up :)
worthy cobalt
Haha that was actually funny 😁
tardy pond
@karmic garden what's the difference between supressors even? Sound? Recoil and ergo?
honest tusk
Mixture of all i think
tardy pond
Aight
karmic garden
Yeah
The best one currently is the Daniel defence wave
Idk so much about the sound, but the recoil, ergo, and muzzle velocity vary between them

guys, why doesn't the 600mm barrel for DVL-10 show up at flea?

tardy pond
@normal bear im aware but thanks, just couldnt check cuz im at work
golden mesa
@old basin sell them to mechanic. If they look beefy, disassemble it and sell whatever parts you can to skier, and then the rest to mechanic
golden mesa
Im not sure. Therapist buys for the best prices, however some items which you can sell to therapist can be uo to 10 times the price on flea
golden mesa
Example, therapist will buy ledx for 300k while its worth 1.4mil on flea
You dont need to sell everything on flea. I mean, you could if your really desperate, but you can sell only 3 items at a time, and usually you should only put stuff on flea which you know is worth a lot
golden mesa
There is a chart with rarity of items
south dune
Prices can vary since market prices changes a lot and quickly
old basin
On another note, what about hydration? Theres been two instances where I stayed for so long on a pmc raid that I almost died due to dehydratation. I feel like bringing a watter bottle is a waste of space but then again I find myself desperatly looking for water

why would you sell the ammunition? it's better to keep it and use it for later on. instead of eating away from his own cash

the reshala gun had m856a1 ammo so thats good money
tardy pond
@stark veldt i.mean youre not wrong but it doesnt really matter because most ammo doesn't fluctuate too much price wise🤷
stark veldt
well my point is he will be paying a fee to list it on the flea market, after all he's losing money

what is the most recommended beginner case, im running low on stash space (10x26 base package) i already have the mag and ammo case
tardy pond
@devout forum what you running?
devout forum
marked room on customs
tardy pond
@upper meteor probably item cases? They store alot but are expensive, lucky scav junkbox is good if you save barter items but all the cases be expensive
@devout forum if u have a rr you should do reserve marked runs, two rooms on one map :P
upper meteor
gotcha, ill look into both
tardy pond
@devout forum yeah im saving up for one rn but its my main priority cuz reserve is my favourite map
devout forum
i mean my first run it payed for its self x10 since i got a money case
bold kernel
Wcase is 1,2 mil
devout forum
ik im trying to get one
bold kernel
It's not worth getting the RR if you don't have good gear, cases or upgraded hideout
Prioritise those first
fickle kettle
do you run reserve alots ?
tardy pond
@bold kernel i dont agree personally, sure good gear is good but i have no need for cases other then the ones i have
I do agree getting my hideout upgraded is good but rr will help with that
fiery rover
if you go reserve 90% of your runs RR is a good investement
fiery rover
i have RR and i used it once or twice so its not worth it for me
tardy pond
What map do you play? Interchange?
devout forum
i need to make 1mil profit total because if i lose what i have going in thats how much its all worth so its kinda risky atm but i go at night time so its less populated

yeah i know how dare i suggest people to not worry about profit and just do a run for fun

if you don't use the RR you could sell it for some big money rn
trim jewel
Hey guys, I came on last night after a very rough go, the last few days (0-33 in raids since Thursday night). I was trying to figure out what I can change. A few were suggesting my weapon (Hunter) is a poor weapon due to accuracy. Where can I find info about that stat? And, at $55k complete per load-out, what other weapon would people suggest?
tardy pond
55k for a whole loadout?
trim jewel
$55k is weapon (35k, optic 10k, and mag's 10k).
tardy pond
Or just the weapon?
fiery rover
VEPR Hunter is a fine weapon
trim jewel
I posted it, right as you asked. Just the weapon.
$55k is weapon (35k weapon, optic 10k, and mag's 10k).
tardy pond
Right
Could probably build a sks for close to that money but its not great
I really liked the vss, but it has gone up substantially
fiery rover
similar weapons budget: VSS, SV98, Mosin, AK-74, OP-SKS, Vepr (7.62 variant)
tardy pond
Adars kan run decent ammo and are fairly cheap i believe🤷
trim jewel
I was back inside the Hermetic Bunker on Reserve, peaking against a guy at the big door entrance. I went 1-13 on shots, with the red dot on his chest.
tardy pond
@fiery rover vss modded is close to 150k now
fiery rover
although the VSS is the most expensive one, the weapon itself is at 50k without at least 20shot ammu and no ammu (which is expensive)
no need to mod a vss
what makes or breaks your power in a firefight is the ammunition and vepr has probably the best value/price relationship
tardy pond
I mean, you need a sight and a foregrip for sure
And if you run 30 round makes which are 30k
trim jewel
@fiery rover, going 0-33, I've lost all my money. All of those are great weapons, better than the hunter arguably. But, they are also all much more money, once you get to it being raid capable.
tardy pond
It gets expensive
pliant fjord
anyone helping new players?
fiery rover
@trim jewel you got a shooting range?
if not go in a raid offline and test if the weapon is really that inacurate because so far i have had no problems with her
i was using one just yesterday for testing purpose
@pliant fjord this channel is more for specific questions

@fiery rover completely agree. Until Thursday, i was cruising at 28% survival rate, 3.5 k/d ratio, etc. Thursday, it felt like something change. Not sure. I've died for EVERY possible reason. I'm just grabbing at straws, trying to change anything.
Try to imagine going 0-33. I'm... man. I'm at a loss.
tardy pond
Arent thiccs 15 mil?
fiery rover
well it by 0-33 my guess is its not the weapon but perhabs something else like a change in approach you using weaker armor than before, going different routes ect.
thicc item case is 18m
ancient falcon
thicc weapons is 5.5 mil
fiery rover
the thicc weapon case is 5.5mil
tardy pond
Ah i thought we meant thicc items
trim jewel
@fiery rover thanks for talking to me about this, and helping me... I dunno, figure this out. My load-out is very specific, as I have calculated the cost vs effectiveness. Penis helmet, cheapest headset (which I actually prefer), ski-mask, 6B3-TM armored vest, and either Skav BP or Berkut, and a grenade.
languid flare
You save currently 250k by bartering Bitcoin for THicc Weapon Case
tardy pond
@trim jewel i hate the gssh it rapes my ears but if you prefer it 🤷 it sounds like ots just experience and knowledge issue and not loadout related
fiery rover
gssh is something i would not use if you don't go resort or labs tbh because they tend to make your own sounds too loud, the comtacs are a better option and they aren't expensive
trim jewel
I've been thinking its just bad luck.
fiery rover
Some kills are bad luck, most other kills can be brought back to specific decisions
tardy pond
Dying is part of the game , like a big part, learning to get a higher survival rate is key but still something that eludes me bigtime aswell
fiery rover
like not enough ammunition (happened to me yesterday), going the wrong way, miscalculating stuff wrong approach ect.
trim jewel
All true, but you would think I'd get lucky eventually, after 30+ raids. I just kept thinking, just keep going, your making smart plays, this can't last forever. Just keep playing smart, do your thing. And over and over and over. Crazy weird ways I've died.
fiery rover
things i would not care about: survival rate, K/D, making profits each raids (like saying: oh my gear costs xy now i have to at least make xy in this raid)
trim jewel
Well, I used to not care, but when your down to zero, and hoping for insurance to bring you things, and stuck having to wait 15+ minutes for a scav run, it changes your thoughts.
fiery rover
the problem is the more you concern yourself with those stats the higher is the pressure you apply to yourself
which opens you up for more mistakes
prisma slate
trim jewel
Yeah, i guess. But, going into raids with nothing. going 30 plus raids without surviving. Hard to NOT think about it.
fiery rover
try some loot runs
trim jewel
I even went on the website to get the gift items, at about raid 18 or so.
tardy pond
You can do a pistol interchange run get some stashes, make close to a mil each run if youre lucky @trim jewel
fiery rover
take a pistol and a cheap backpack and go on a map you got keys for and loot some stuff
or stashes in interchange
or tech on interchange
or reserve if oyu know the spawns (i don#t)
trim jewel
@fiery rover I sold the keys and keytool for money on Sunday afternoon.
fiery rover
i tend to just go customs gas station if i need some money
its not much but its quick and if you get lucky you can get a lot of stuff
trim jewel
I do run Interchange, I used to run the secret stahses all the time. But, lately, I'm getting sniped. Or late and they are empty, but to be fair, thats a spawn location thing.
@pine rain I sold my keys. You know, for money. Perhaps you missed the beginning of the conversation? Ran out of money. All money. Everything.
I sold my containers (food, junk, meds, and keytool). I did notice, those are good investments, though. You get the same cash back that you spent on them.
I had a weapons case one time, from one of the marked rooms on Reserve. I really like Reserve. Such a versatile map.

waxen forge
@bold kernel First thing to do is RESET EXPECTATIONS. Doesn’t matter how much or how well you do in other shooters. This is a knowledge game. You will die and die due to lack of experience not gear. Experience. It will require persistence and commitment. You need to learn maps, scav behavior, PMC behavior, what is good vs. bad ammo. Practice OFFLINE mode, with scavs on, at Customs. Try to make it from spawn to exit 10 times. IF you can do this 50% of the time then you are ready for online. Meanwhile use your scav at Interchange to get loot and learn the map.
tardy pond
@bold kernel watch geekseh's new player video's on youtube theyre pretty good and will probably answe alot of those questions

Listen a lot. Don't run. Realize it's good to rotate, flank, use tactics to ambush. Just because you can take a fight doesn't mean you should take the fight. USE GOOD AMMO.
Play to the gear you have.

stopping and listening is super helpful
waxen forge
Learn how players move about the map as well as scavs
Anticipate where they will be and where they will be moving.
spark marsh
Use the scavs as well as a good indicator on if players are lurking around. Sniper scav on customs will spot people in elbow, so you know generally speaking no one is hard pushing it

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 won’t be a factor in your death or will have failed to protect you. Therefore I don’t spend much $ on helmets.
Therapist>Skier>mechanic
languid flare
^
waxen forge
Check therapist vs LOWEST flea price for Tech/hardware items
IF therapist is close sell it to her.
Break weapon into parts and sell to Skier and Mechanic
languid flare
I can say that a MINIMUM of 80% of the items ingame can be straight sold to Vendors
waxen forge
Check Suppressors and Optics for LOWEST flea vs. Skier...once again if Skier is close use skier
Backpacks, rigs, and most armor to Skier.
Don’t 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 “spent” with them plus level character and trader reputation. Check prices for tech/hardware on Flea vs. therapist and sell to therapist if it’s 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 don’t waste time selling basic weapon on flea.

what do you mean. Presets work fine for me
split vapor
its there or its not
rotund sand
I never knew so many scavs spawned around the scav towers close to manhole in reserve
found so many in offline pve training
is this realistic or do they spawn differently than normal
crude lark
are you guys getting matches on shoreline ?
upper meteor
if you go into a pve (offline) with your pmc and die do you lose your stuff
keen oak
What loadouts should I be using with >100,000
rotund sand
you don't lose stuff in offline
upper meteor
ok
rotund sand
nothing changes, no exp or items gained nor anything lost
so its basically practice range
bold breach
Hey guys I'm pretty new. What items do I keep?
rotund sand
if you aren't sure you selected offline and panic, try to remember if you saw an insurance screen. if you didn't, its offline. that's my trash noob trick 
fiery rover
t-plug: used for quests, room 220: used for a quest, bulb: hideout upgrade, Rec batt: quest or trade for adar, tube: hideout upgrade and hideout crafting later on.
Rest useless
matches: barter trade but oyu need a lot and the item you get you can easily farm
fresh tide
Honestly just sell it all and rebuy what you need when you need it
rotund sand
use escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com to find out if something needs to be found in raid for a quest
if not, can always rebuy, I guess
fiery rover
rec bat needs to be found in raid and the t-plugs as well so no rebuyng there
however as always on non-gear items: if you need money urgently sell stuff however never sell keys (you might use or are used for quests and are expensive) or keybar/documents case
rotund sand
I think I read somewhere that rec battery for adar was one of the really good barters
fiery rover
it is
fiery rover
because rec bat is 15k or so
flat cipher
adar is twice that
fiery rover
exactly
rotund sand
yeah it sounds like a pretty good deal
fiery rover
which i swhy i always buy 1 rec from flea market an dtrade for adar its cheap but effective 😄

I bought them after getting flea

yeah I tried buying two but it didn't work

can yall just watch over me in like a chat for a second? Maybe I'm doing something wrong
left vapor
you probably bought 135 not 133
rotund sand
the game might have also just glitched tbh, it keeps happening to me
bold breach
Alright I'm in [Quad] Kilo. can someone check if I'm doing it correctly? Should be like 5 min?
analog fulcrum
@bold breach just have turned on a flea market option that says "show only funcional items" then make sure you buy shotgun with mp-133 in name
bold breach
It worked now
thanks to @fiery rover for watching over my shoulder
I did exactly the same thing but I guess it was bugged before or something
fiery rover
not 100% but my guess is: you need both shotguns in your inventory, just watched him do the quest and i assume this quest follows for some reason the old format of only being able to turn in shotguns if oyu have ALL required shotguns not sure though
but it worked 😄
rotund sand
one of these days I'll try pocket watch again
fiery rover
you can do it with tim he has to do tha tone now 😄

Lucky scav junk box
IF you don't choose to save them then start selling them
For tech/hardware/jewelry & statues check LOWEST flea price vs. therapist. IF she is close sell to her

how do i get an mp5 mount

Break weapons into parts and sell to Skier then rest to mechanic

about that, so i should grind for a scav junk box?

Maybe check suppressors and optics flea LOWEST vs Skier
Lucky scav box is first big purchase I make every wipe
Sell mags...never hoard mags.

Empty all backpacks and stack inside each other and keep them empty

@bold kernel Upgrade Workbench in Hideout. Then go to flea and examine every weapon and weapon part. That will give you full functionality of the EDIT PRESET function. 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 “virtual build.” If you like what you made you can “save” 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.

im actually expecting to die, but i dont, and it ends up piling sometimes

IF You don't even have flea I wouldn't worry about modding an MP5

what are toolboxes

@bold kernel
waxen forge
Literally a tool box
fiery rover
think i just use the wiki command from now on 😄
bold kernel
are there any on customs
fiery rover
but WHAT is a toolbox lets ask ourself this philosofical question
yes
in the ak hall for example
waxen forge
You can find on customs....also search duffel bags and jackets
bold kernel
sorry im pretty new and my friend that helps me is doing homework rn
Everyone asks what is toolbox but no one asks how is toolbox
waxen forge
BUT if you aren't even level 5 then forget about modding an MP5
fiery rover
get lvl 5
formal nova
What maps would you guys recommend for newer players? I’m level five and I’ve only been on customs and factory
bold kernel
anyone want to play a game with me
waxen forge
Not factory
waxen forge
@formal nova First thing to do is RESET EXPECTATIONS. Doesn’t matter how much or how well you do in other shooters. This is a knowledge game. You will die and die due to lack of experience not gear. Experience. It will require persistence and commitment. You need to learn maps, scav behavior, PMC behavior, what is good vs. bad ammo. Practice OFFLINE mode, with scavs on, at Customs. Try to make it from spawn to exit 10 times. IF you can do this 50% of the time then you are ready for online. Meanwhile use your scav at Interchange to get loot and learn the map.
bold kernel
ok
waxen forge
Because it has loot
formal nova
I like doing Scav runs on factory lol what’s bad about factory
waxen forge
Factory is a total waste of a scav
bold kernel
im in lfg customs 5
sick tapir
use scav and go on cache runs in customs :p
dry fog
not true
sick tapir
helped me earn
waxen forge
Loot is tech/hardware as it is most value per square
dry fog
scavs have loot, factory has scavs
waxen forge
Gear/weapons is not loot
formal nova
^^^
dry fog
shoot scavs, get loot
formal nova
What are cache runs?
dry fog
where you loot the buckets hidden in the ground
waxen forge
caches are little containers in the ground
sick tapir
waxen apex
plus of factory is that its fast 😄
waxen forge
BUT cache are hit and miss for what they have in them
formal nova
Is there a map? Can I do like hatchet runs lol
waxen forge
NEVER HATCHET
sick tapir
caches can spawn anything in em
formal nova
Why not
waxen forge
Better to loot stores that spawn consistent loot than cache
bold kernel
ones and zeros ping me when you are ready
sick tapir
i found paracords n lions in caches
formal nova
@bold kernel lije five to ten minutes
waxen forge
Once again I never said you cannot find things in stashes
sick tapir
but yeah, better to loot consistent spots
waxen forge
I said they are not consistent
Find paracord in 1
and next 4 is toothpaste and herring
sick tapir
@waxen forge ye i agree w ya
waxen forge
Go to maps that spawn tech/hardware
Those are the items that make the most money per square
formal nova
Like interchange?
waxen forge
Interchange/reserve
formal nova
Is there like a loot map?
waxen forge
Gear is not value per square
If someone suggest factory they do not know what real value is
On factory the only loot there is what PMC bring in
Gear from scavs is crap
bold kernel
Factory is shit
formal nova
I got a lab card off a Scav lol
bold kernel
I only go there for the few tasks that need it
waxen forge
You can get a labs card from a scav anywhere
upper meteor
i have spawned as a scav with a labs card twice lol
sick tapir
@waxen forge is tryna say, yes u can get good loot once in awhile from scavs, however if you want to have a consistent value per run, yall gotta go interchange/reserve
waxen forge
An 8 slot shotgun from a scav is 20K....while a 1 square pack of nails is 35k
upper meteor
this is true
formal nova
What if I use the nails as shotgun ammo
waxen forge
Correct @sick tapir but when talking to new people all they are going to hear is lab card...scav...factory
You need to tell then why they should be doing something with facts that make sense
So tech/hardware on a scav run on Interchange/reserve is an easy 300K
A scav run on factory ...if you survive and even manage to find stuff is far less value per square
YES you can get lucky and scav in and a whole bunch of geared guys are all dead
BUT that is more rare
bold kernel
I do fac scav as a warmup to get my blood pumping and do some pvp
But I don’t ever get any good loot
sick tapir
@waxen forge are mpx worth keeping or shuold i sell it
waxen forge
and still the value of what you can fit in a backpack of gear is less that tech/hardware
Sell it
Break into parts and skier then rest to mechanic

waxen forge
Now once you have plenty of money or are at least comfortable with your money then scav where you want. Doesn't' matter...go in and try to kill the server
But for new people their biggest problem is they are broke
Scav runs fund PMC runs.
formal nova
I’m comfortable with my 150k
waxen forge
Need to make money to die as a player
fair edge
yeah scavving interchange can make you enough money for a good loadout in, at most, 2 runs
for oli's hardware, some tech from texho/rasmussen (most of the good stuff in techlight is gone in a Scav run), and buried caches
sick tapir
is there a good video for an interchange scav run
waxen forge
Just google it
formal nova
I was about to ask the same
waxen forge
However in the past what was valuable now wasn't then
A lot of the hardware wasn't valuable prior to the latest patch because we didn't have Hideouts
elder crypt
interchange scav runs are easy. Just go loot the Oli shelves
formal nova
@bold kernel which chat are you in
waxen forge
Oli for hardware
elder crypt
check the tech stores if you are close
waxen forge
Tech stores for tech
waxen forge
PC in Oli and Goshan for PC parts
fair edge
thing about tech stores is that they still might get contested by other pscavs and PMCs
elder crypt
check around kiba to see if a fight broke out and bodies around are lootable
fair edge
from my experience, oli shelves are consistent and fairly risk-free
bold kernel
#6 @formal nova
waxen forge
However if u have a full bag of tech/hardware no need to risk kiba for gear
formal nova
I’m getting on now @bold kernel
bold kernel
ok
waxen forge
Unless once again you have enough money to lose all the loot u just collected.
elder crypt
also Oli shelves are more profitable if you spawn in as a scav with a backpack
due to the large items typically on the shelves
like gas cns
fair edge
do you just kill another Scav if you don't have a backpack?
waxen forge
IF you get a terribly unlucky scav with no backpack then find an isolated scav with one and kill him for it
But don't shoot 1 in the middle of 3 or 4 others
elder crypt
yeah
fair edge
I thought that killing a Scav made every single other Scav on the map hostile
fair edge
ah gotcha
bold kernel
i have a labs keycard
fair edge
I guess every other time I got killed was by a player Scav then lol
waxen forge
Kill and Oli scav and scavs in the middle won't be agro\
fair edge
every single time after I shoot another
sick tapir
if yall wanna get lucky, pestily is having red cards giveaways lol
waxen forge
Kill a scav at big red on customs and scavs at construction won't be agro
Run it offline to see what the map is like then when you get flea sell it @bold kernel

@slate belfry as someone that has only played a month now, I would start by doing quests early and often. Learn Interchange & Reserve as those maps will make you the most money until you are further along.
chilly plume
hey if you dont wanna run with me tell me

Lightly mod guns you get from scav runs to save cash
ammo is more important than weapons

No i'd be down to run.
