beginners-assistance

[mighty osprey]

my game is on SSD

[versed oasis]

why dont i get quest rewards sometimes?

[ancient falcon]

wtf..

my gun wouldn't shoot

any reason why?

i had 5.7 pistol

I'm so mad. I could've killed 2 guys and it wouldn't shoot. I tried reloading as well.

all mags weren't working

[steel burrow]

Maybe it was damaged? Weapons can jam if below 100 repair

[fiery rover]

probably a bug

happens

[cyan rampart]

what fuel does the hideout generator take

[fiery rover]

the blue and metal tank

the blue one is called expandatoriy fuel tank

and the othe ris called

metal fuel tank

[lime dune]

Is there anything I should change or add to this gun?

[cyan rampart]

thanks

[fiery rover]

well what are you going for jeh?

you can change a lot of things but the question is what is your goal do you like how it looks ect.

but pls for the love of good change the ammunition 😄

[gentle pawn]

55 FMJ

Aren't those the literal peas?

I live off of this chart @lime dune

As a peasant myself, it's pretty helpfulk

[fiery rover]

for a more detailed view i suggest this one: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1VuxGkweKB118mF1kcBmVPe-Bj_gSKGOCWyoytM4miDU/htmlview?sle=true

[gentle pawn]

ooooh, another stat sheet

[fiery rover]

thats the original 🙂

also i'm gonna grab breakfast brb

[lime dune]

Wait, which ammo am I supposed to buy?

[gentle pawn]

M855A1

[hushed furnace]

855a1

[gentle pawn]

Pretty cheapo

[hushed furnace]

or 995 of you got the cash >_>

[gentle pawn]

But good value

Oh yeah

Nothing like shoot 1.2k per shot

That's what I like

sike

Too poor to even afford guns

[hushed furnace]

I've only used it when I had a quest.

[gentle pawn]

Also, why are people live in the beginners assistance room?

[mossy siren]

i'd suggest not using a adar m4 etc if you dont want to use 995, just use a different gun that has cheaper ammo

Bs 5s ak or Bp 7s ak..hunter with m80 etc

[cloud spade]

is it worth to buy the red rebel ice pick ?

[gentle pawn]

I use m855a1's for everything practically

[hushed furnace]

@cloud spade if you plan on getting that money back by going on reserve sure

[cloud spade]

i do go onto reserve a lot

i just dunno if i should just buy it

or at least attempt to farm shturman

[hushed furnace]

I mean the barter sells out in 1 millisecond so farming's the only other way.

[cloud spade]

yikes

got this game a month ago

i cant stop playing

[hushed furnace]

trying your luck with shturman first could prove well tho

the price scales with the level so low level are good for some trade and they all can be sold to therapist for good money

a few tasks need em to if your going that route

[cloud spade]

sell tags above level 26

imo

keep the rest for barters

[true lion]

sell them to who?

[fiery rover]

THERAPIST

sry caps

[open lotus]

is sp-5 any good?

[flat cipher]

its not worth using considering the cost of sp6

[fiery rover]

sp6 cots like double?

almost tripple?

so i think it is worth

SP6 is 622 per bullet and sp5 is 142

[flat cipher]

for a reason, yes

Ammo that costs 142 roubles

isnt good

lol

[fiery rover]

lol always nice to see people with no clue

[half jackal]

its actually okay

but SP6 is so much better

[flat cipher]

cost effectiveness

lol

sp5 isnt bad at all

but given the alternative?

with an extra 10 pen

more armour dmg

[fresh umbra]

Sp5 and spray for the helmet can be a good choice. Sp6 is king. Bp and spp are not worth imo

[fiery rover]

as always the main factor to buying ammunition is: am i on a budget and if so how much is it

[fresh umbra]

Never cheap out on ammo. Unmodded ak with igolniks

[flat cipher]

The main factor to buying ammo

is buy the best

otherwise you get killed

for losing a fight

because youre not running better/equiv ammo to your target

If you're running budget

ammo costs more than most of your kit

[fiery rover]

most of the time its not running low ammo or armor thats you killed but rather other mistakes, except of course you play ammo that doesn't even pen lvl 3 then perhabs but otherwise

[flat cipher]

If you run cheap, you run expensive ammo, and just keep more of it in your secure

[fresh umbra]

That works for most ammo types but the m80 for example ruins the game. Why even bother with aks or m4s when a guy with a vepr hunter one shots you lolol

[fiery rover]

because in close quaters my chances are higher

[flat cipher]

^

[fiery rover]

and the moment i run a 4 or 5 armor you don't one shot anymore

[tribal cove]

Is there any way to set the firing mode, laser mode or magnification before entering a raid?

[flat cipher]

They stay as they are

if you leave a raid with full auto, laser on and mag on high

then the next raid will be the same

[tribal cove]

Oke

[woeful forum]

whats the most visible laser i can buy ?

i tried most of them and unless i am inside a room and its dark or i cant see it

[flat cipher]

I mean

you dont want visible

[woeful forum]

at least to train my hip fire with it

[thick harness]

The blue one is definitely the most visible lol

[fiery rover]

the purple one

can see it like from 100m

in full sunlight

[thick harness]

yea theres a couple that are really bright

[flat cipher]

I'd recommend just learning how to point youyr gun at someone

[woeful forum]

@fiery rover the purple is the cheapest right ?

[thick harness]

^

[flat cipher]

and using the IR searchlight

[fiery rover]

cheapes ti don't know its the brightest by far

[thick harness]

Use the ls321

[flat cipher]

cause thats invisible to other players

[fiery rover]

its not invisible just harder to see

the IR searchlight i mean

[flat cipher]

yeah its visible in like

a 2m distance

[thick harness]

anyone who can see it should already be dead or you will be dead

[woeful forum]

couldnt find the IR searchlight in the wiki

is there another name for it ?

[thick harness]

LS321

Has IR light and an actual laser dot if you want to toggle that on

[flat cipher]

it has a red laser, green laser, and an IR search

[woeful forum]

and i toggle between them with T right ?

[fiery rover]

no

ctrl t

[woeful forum]

ohh

[fiery rover]

t is just switching on and off

[woeful forum]

thank you so much

[fiery rover]

the ir light does not help that much with aiming like the laser pointer (in the optical meaning the effect is the same gameplay wise)

[thick harness]

and to be honest when fighting in an area like a dorms hallway, just put your barrel waist high and aim in the direction

[fiery rover]

its like a very faint red fleshlight that you see if oyu aim at walls which is why its used

[thick harness]

dump that mag and you will get hits

[true lion]

BOYS

im getting shit on on factory

i need to do the quest

what do

[flat cipher]

im level 30 and i havent done it LOL

[thick harness]

What quest?

[true lion]

message from the past i thing

[fiery rover]

weakness disgust me @flat cipher 😄

[true lion]

delivery from the past

[fiery rover]

i can team up if you want

[flat cipher]

i mean

its not that i cant

[fiery rover]

don't mind helping real quick

[flat cipher]

i just dont need to

[true lion]

i just dont even know what kinda loadout i should take

[fiery rover]

well

a gun for starters 😄

[true lion]

cuz like even if i taker armor people using smgs so they gonna sprey my legs

[fiery rover]

i would take an auto gun an armor and depending on how safe i feel perhabs a helm with a faceshield

[true lion]

i been trying the 74u and its not doin it

[fiery rover]

if i wanna go hardcore i take a killa armor and an altyn helm with an fullmodded weapon for recoil and hipfire the shit out of it

the 74u is meh tbh if you go for ak go for ak74m or n the aksu is rather bad without a lot of mods

if you wanna go the safe way get yourself a 5man squad and go in there

[true lion]

thats too much work i just gotta spray 2 kids then im chill dont even gotta extract

the other option is to hide until like 5 mins left

[fiery rover]

welp whatever suits you

[true lion]

i have a modded sks buttt i dont thin k thats gonna cut it on factory

[fiery rover]

think i'm gonna take a nap

[true lion]

ty for help

[fiery rover]

sks is ok if you know how to play with her, an automatic rifle is just a "safer" option

[half jackal]

if you want the pinnacle of price/performance, Vepr KM.

its like an op-sks but better in literally every way, unless you prefer irons

otherwise AKM/etc is fine, but recoil is going to be insane so stick with semi unless you're inside or expecting a bush to shoot you

[tardy pond]

Do you need FP 100 filter absorber for anything?

[thick harness]

They are used in one of the last hideout upgrades

they boost your skill XP gain for physical skills

[delicate dust]

How to get fuel for generator

[vale arrow]

buy it or get some in oli store interchange or reserve

[delicate dust]

Is it called Metal fuel tank?

[thick harness]

yes make sure you inspect it to see how much fuel is in the tank

also the expedition fuel tank

[vale arrow]

yes or expedition fuel tank

double click and check the fuel in it before u buy

[delicate dust]

Wow they are more expensive

[thick harness]

metal tank full is about 70k or so

same with blue ones

[vale arrow]

cuz u can use the empty ones to craft stuff

[thick harness]

you can use empty blues to make mag box at level 2 lavatory

[delicate dust]

Does the "resource' in the inspection tell me the amount?

[vale arrow]

yes

[delicate dust]

what does the number indicate in the bottom right corner of the image

[tardy pond]

what image

[full crag]

best ammo for SKS?

PS?

[violet bear]

right now what is the best pistol with cool mods and good ammo to buy? I am only level 8 tho, doing factory runs but I would also like to learn customs or interchange

[half jackal]

Five Seven, but its about as expensive as a VSS/AK to buy & fit with a scope.

and even then

the ammo will barely pen level 3

[violet bear]

oh okay

[tardy pond]

@violet bear did you get to level 8 by only playing factory?

[orchid lintel]

I made it to level 19 with factory runs. dont ask, its very hard

[tardy pond]

Damn

[orchid lintel]

yep. installed my SSD yesterday, can run the other maps now

[tardy pond]

Wait you need a ssd to run the other maps😂

[orchid lintel]

yep. my PC is about 5 years old, some parts even older

[tardy pond]

Couldve just aswell gotten a new hdd then :P

Ssd is better ofcourse but it sounds like youre due for an upgrade anyways

[red flicker]

can i do punisher part 2 with the silenced pistol that u can buy or doesnt that count?

[orchid lintel]

I didnt switch to the SSD, the SSD is in addition to the normal hdd

[tardy pond]

@red flicker should work

@orchid lintel thats what i thought yeah

Cannot be completed using a Rotor 43 7.62x54 muzzle brake, Rotor 43 5.56x45 muzzle brake, VSS, KAC PRS QDC 7.62x51 Sound Suppressor, SR-25, R11 RSASS, MP9, MP9-N or DVL-10 Saboteur sniper rifle

Make sure none of these are used @red flicker

[red flicker]

@tardy pond thanks the pistol is called something l.ike MB or so but thats good cuz im nearly out of cash 😄

[tardy pond]

Hahah, good luck

[red flicker]

thanks ill need it

[violet bear]

well I only played factory and woods, I am too lazy right now to learn another map, but I would chose customs or interchange @tardy pond

[amber saffron]

reserve best map

[tardy pond]

@violet bear thats literally the most trash maps😂 😂

[thick harness]

oof only factory and woods

why

[tardy pond]

Literally self harm😂

[karmic citrus]

hey if anyone wants to help me do some runs dm me im very new

[violet bear]

I played woods because I didnt know anything about this game before buying it, and factory for the pvp

[ancient falcon]

do EOD players match quicker?

is that a thing?

I've been matching in a minute every game so far tonight queued with someone with EOD

[tardy pond]

No @ancient falcon😂 😂

[ancient falcon]

is it a coincidence

[tardy pond]

He might have more server selected or autoselect on, depending on whether he is hosting or not

If thats not the case its probably confirmation bias

I have eod and take 5-10 monutes all the time

[woven lagoon]

Is the lab key arsenal storage room key any good?

[tardy pond]

74k according to website

Might be worth more

Idk how good it is

[woven lagoon]

ok thanks

[tardy pond]

Np

Definitely worth taking if you found it :P

[woven lagoon]

yeah.

[bitter hazel]

Has anyone got a good factory map ?

[stone moss]

you need a card key ON your guy

[flat cipher]

very

but its a high risk thing

the white one

[sour plume]

"Terragroup labs access card"

[flat cipher]

140k

its not worth it

especially if you dont even know how to get in

it's perfectly fine lol

[full crag]

i have 6 sks Int Magazinez, when i press R it won't allow me to reload

[sour plume]

imagine telling someone they shouldn't learn

[flat cipher]

Because that's an internal magazine

not an external magazine

SKS is top loaded

[sour plume]

imagine not knowing what offline mode is

[flat cipher]

you dont need mags

just the bullets

[full crag]

wait so all i need is bullets

not mags?

[flat cipher]

ya

[full crag]

im dumb

[sour plume]

watching videos isn't even remotely the same as doing it yourself

[flat cipher]

you can buy 20rd mags

but theyre not rly worth it imo

[sour plume]

you should try it, you might learn something lol

[flat cipher]

shut up u weeb fuckface

[full crag]

SKS isn't mag-fed?

[flat cipher]

It is mag fed

IF

[sour plume]

@flat cipher see that? u sure got me!

[full crag]

it's the 20 round?

[stone moss]

Vallad it has an internal magazine by default.

[tight vigil]

10 rounders are top load, 20 rounder is mag fed on SKS

[stone moss]

You can remove the internal and use regular mags

[full crag]

almost got killed because of this 😅

[flat cipher]

you can get these

[sour plume]

imagine being here for 7 minutes and already starting shit

[flat cipher]

They're only 6kish per

and they make using the sks a whole lot better

or get 35rd if you wanna be a complete and utter ape

[sour plume]

imaaaaaaaaagine

[flat cipher]

homik its ok

we all have bad days

no need to get angry at others

:)

yeah clearly

in offline mode

yes

imagine

:O

[upper iron]

@lime dune that ammo is shit change it

[flat cipher]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[sour plume]

actually, the first thing i said implied nothing whatsoever, you just assumed i wanted him to charge in with his first labs keycard so it would give you something to flame me for

[upper iron]

oh I am late to the channel

xd

[sour plume]

the first thing i said was "imagine telling someone not to learn"

[flat cipher]

wowee discord servers are cesspools arent they

[sour plume]

you didn't even so much as suggest he go offline, you just said "dont go labs"

[flat cipher]

22 messages of pure flame

yes you did

whats that then

[sour plume]

this must be a different homik

hmm

[flat cipher]

well

you said that you didnt tell him not to go

but you did

[sour plume]

would you like to take a more convenient one that suits your argument?

[flat cipher]

losing argument

[karmic citrus]

hey does anyone want to help me do some runs
i got the game 2 days ago and only went on like 6 runs

[flat cipher]

resorts to haha stupid anime

heres another one

of you telling him to not go

[sour plume]

...that was the beginning?

i literally screenshotted from the first suggestion you made to him to the bottom of the text as far as i could go

the only thing you said that i didnt screenshot was exactly "You need to have a keycard on you."

i said that? where?

[flat cipher]

back to your cartoons berserkk

[sour plume]

now see this is just mean

you can't go putting words into somebody's mouth and then when they ask for evidence, say "Fuck you are dumb"

you even put it in quotations as if that was exactly what I said

really makes you think

[naive atlas]

@bold sierra why are you deleting all your comments

[flat cipher]

my silly cartoons

LMAOOOOO

[sour plume]

unfortunately for you, your stupidity is gonna remain

[fickle kettle]

weeb ?

[tardy pond]

What happened here😂

[flat cipher]

damn i guess im a weeb cause i enjoy anime a little

das tuff bro

[sour plume]

yep that's what happened

[flat cipher]

ya

im crying

how do u feel?

[crisp urchin]

Mods deleted like 30 messages of you then lol

[flat cipher]

gonna report you to the mods

no

he did

[sour plume]

mods didn't delete his messages

[flat cipher]

cause hes insecure

[crisp urchin]

Yikes

[sour plume]

he deletes his own messages so he won't look like a retard and/or have a mod see his messages

[crisp urchin]

I mean, they most likely have delete logs

[flat cipher]

they do

[crisp urchin]

If not, they possibly just have message loggers as well

[flat cipher]

you really are that insecure huh

[fickle kettle]

umm you do know that the mod still can see the message history so dont worry about that @sour plume

[flat cipher]

thats just

sad

like no word of a lie

u ok bro?

[sour plume]

ye but this is so other people can see what kinda person he is even tho he tries to hide it @fickle kettle

[tough bluff]

Can someone help me get to my extract on customs?

[fickle kettle]

@sour plume who care

[flat cipher]

L

[crisp urchin]

@tough bluff where are you currently and what are your current extracts?

[sour plume]

I noticed earlier that he seemed like he was a little in over his head, so I was curious to see how long he'd actually been here for. Only been sending messages for 7 minutes, yet ppl have mentioned him in the past, and not all with positive comments. He obviously isn't banned, so he had to be deleting his own conversations:)

Figured he'd try to delete this one too so I thought why not catch him saying something beyond stupid

[mossy heron]

is there any way to levle up peacekeeper on the flea market? I read that I could buy dollars and sell them but I guess you can't any more

[thick harness]

Buy stuff and sell it to him. Probably a few items that are close to break even you can find

[bold kernel]

Just buy dollars

You're always going to need more dollars

[sour plume]

do that, you need dollars to buy the shit he sells anyway

alternative, for super powerleveling

buy dollars, use dollars to buy glocks, sell glocks on flea

wait was it glocks

no he doesn't sell glocks

[woeful forum]

why is "T H I C C Items case" 10 times more expensive than "Lucky Scav Junkbox" when they are exactly the same ? even the junkbox is better

[sour plume]

They aren't the same is why

The only things you can put in the junkbox is barter items

Thicc items case can literally hold anything

[woeful forum]

OHHH in the wiki it said all loot

[sour plume]

except itself

and other items cases

[woeful forum]

i assumed all loot mean even guns

[sour plume]

When it says "loot" it means items that are classified as loot

[woeful forum]

oh shit that makes sense now

thank you

[sour plume]

tools, tech shit, rare spawn items, etc

np

[woeful forum]

i was keeping my loot in my T H I C C Items case

fk me

[sour plume]

use that for other cases/gear

[red flicker]

anyone else not getting inta a gaming?

game*

[fickle kettle]

i mean you doing the right thing

Thicc is trash so

putting trash in it is correct o-ob

[sour plume]

imagine calling thicc trash

[fickle kettle]

kekw

[half jackal]

smh

if you're not liquidating your stash into keycard and storing them in 10+ SICC containers you're doing it wrong

[sour plume]

🏳️‍🌈

when you type : gay : without spaces it brings up the rainbow flag lmfao

very nice

[worldly hornet]

GAY

[half jackal]

mega

[worldly hornet]

🏳️‍🌈

ahhhh

Where is the Sherpa's at?

[obsidian orchid]

Have they lowered the amount of allowed items on the flea market? Or what is the current limit?

[worldly hornet]

3

[half jackal]

@obsidian orchid you mean offers?

depends on your flea rep

[obsidian orchid]

yeah how many items youre allowed to put up

[half jackal]

if its lower than 0 = 2 or less

if its under 10 and above <0, its 3

after 10 its 4

after 20 its 5 (?)

etc

[obsidian orchid]

its the icon that shows up by your offers right? Mine is 2.03.
So i can have 3 items up?

[half jackal]

basically its 3 unless you have negative rep or more than 10.00 rep

[obsidian orchid]

And you gain rep the more items you put up?

[crisp urchin]

There you go

[obsidian orchid]

ah silly me

T. Hanks

[half jackal]

every 1m sold on flea is .1 rep

[crisp urchin]

The more you sell, the bigger rep you gain

[half jackal]

iirc

[obsidian orchid]

but like, ive seen people with an arrow down, does that mean they buy more than they sell?

[crisp urchin]

Reputation is gained upon successfully completing deals, every ₽50,000 gained from deals incrementing the players' reputation.

[half jackal]

it means they've recently lost rep because an offer they put up wasn't sold

[full crag]

what stores food?

[half jackal]

did they change that again 🤔

[full crag]

container*

[half jackal]

@full crag holodilnik

[crisp urchin]

It just means that they aren't selling what they put up on the market

[obsidian orchid]

aaaah, to prevent people from "storing" things on the flea market by putting them up for a lot.

[crisp urchin]

Basically

[obsidian orchid]

@full crag the freezer box or what its called

hollowdick

[full crag]

ooh gotcha

[crisp urchin]

Or even if they remove an offer manually, it will make you drop rep

[half jackal]

@worldly hornet my dude, need to put in an official sherpa request through the forum, otherwise just ask for help here or #pvp-lfg

you're going to be in there for a while otherwise ^^

[wide shale]

Any tips for the introduction to Jagaer quest? I keep getting gunned down before I can extract with the note

[gloomy heart]

what is the difference?

[wide shale]

Only difference that I have noticed is color

[half jackal]

@gloomy heart One is plum colored.

if you want plum ak

[bold kernel]

is plum color in fashion now?

[half jackal]

when has it ever not

👁️👄👁️👉

[gloomy heart]

wait so there is no difference?

[worldly hornet]

@half jackal Alright thanks

[median smelt]

Is it normal that matchmaking takes more than 5 minutes?

[violet bear]

is upgrading the stash worth more than buying different item cases/weapon cases etc?

I spent a ton of money on item cases, lucky scav box etc instead of upgrading the stash

[rotund sand]

tried my luck at nighttime for pocket watch and other quests, but nope, couldn't get to the truck anyways

someone was camping the container that is the passage to that area

and I think my game got stuck in raid, still waiting to see endgame screen

[gloomy heart]

with a tetritz should i trade it for a bitcoin then sell the bitcoin or just sell the tetritz?

[obsidian orchid]

the medx skin transilluminator is so damn expensive. -_-

[rotund sand]

I hate trying to click on flea market items to inspect them and accidentally sending friend requests

[wide shale]

@rotund sand you have to get through some pretty tough chokepoints for that quest. How well do you know the customs map?

@gloomy heart always check market value before selling and see what turns a bigger profit. Once your hideout gets some upgrades you can craft some items into items that sell for even more too.

[rotund sand]

uh

not that well, honestly

[wide shale]

@violet bear generally no it's not worth it. I have a lot of cases at this point and still haven't upgraded the stash

[rotund sand]

just went nighttime because my survival rate is 9%

[wide shale]

@violet bear depends on your organization tendencies too though. I love having a place for everything so being able to view all on one screen without scrolling and go to where I want immediately

@rotund sand are you getting killed by Scavs or PMCs?

[rotund sand]

has been more player scavs and PMCs these days

I killed 2 scavs in this night raid, too, almost about to get used to them a bit, I guess

[wide shale]

Yeah after a little bit you start to understand how they "think"

What route do you usually take? Depending on the spawn and extract obviously

[rotund sand]

trying to be more aware, but since I can only convince myself for like a run per day, its slow

[wide shale]

You use a headset (in game)

?

[rotund sand]

no, I never use headsets

[wide shale]

Invest in them

The basic one that ragman sells is only like 17k and you almost always get it back from insurance

I still use that one

Being able to stop and hear someone moving in the distance is HUGE

[rotund sand]

on the contrary, I was even thinking of playing muted xD

[wide shale]

😱

[rotund sand]

sounds are a major point of scare for me in this game

[wide shale]

Oh I agree! I jump all the time and my wife makes fun of me every time

[rotund sand]

hey, let her play in your stead once

she will know hah

[visual bloom]

can anyone share their opinions on the difference between using an AKM with PS compared to an ak74 with BP/BT ammo?

[rotund sand]

I have played 64 raids this wipe, which is 3 times more than my previous most, so I guess its something for me

[wide shale]

@visual bloom

Better penetration and damage but higher cost

@rotund sand do you use a map? (Not in game)

[rotund sand]

oh, I don't have a second monitor, so what I usually do is try to study the map offline with no pve

[spark hawk]

Phone works well for a map

[rotund sand]

though I can't say I "studied" customs a lot

I usually just like sprinting around in offline reserve runs lol

[blissful quarry]

you are comparing the 7.62 ps and BP, he was asking about the comparison between the 7.62 PS and the 5.45 BP/BT

[gloomy heart]

i know this isnt really to do with tarkov but to get a 2nd monitor for a map do i need 2 HDMI ports on the graphics card?

[rotund sand]

or a DisplayPort, I guess

[gloomy heart]

the other monitor dont have a display port thing tho

[rotund sand]

well, then, yeah, whatever port is available

could be DVI, too

[gloomy heart]

right ty

[rotund sand]

no problem

[woven lagoon]

what would you guys say is the best map to get stuff as I just keep dying. I only ever take out pistols but I never die in head to head gun fights I'm usually killed by a sniper or someone camping.

[rotund sand]

I guess map on phone isn't a bad idea at all, too

[tropic path]

sorry for caps

HAS THIS HAPPENDED TO ANYONE?

[swift depot]

It is very difficult to kill anything with a pistol

Use a rifle

[woven lagoon]

Ok.

[rotund sand]

based on recommendations here, interchange and reserve have the good loot

[swift depot]

Shoreline as well

[tropic path]

reserve has the most uncontested loot and higher survival rate

[swift depot]

But is big

[rotund sand]

yeah, which is why I kinda want to learn reserve, since the loot is spread

[woven lagoon]

ok.

[swift depot]

Not necessarily. It is also difficult to extract out of

[wide shale]

I love shoreline

Lots of safe areas to loot

[tropic path]

how long does shorline take?

rez takes 7 mins to rinse repeat

[rotund sand]

I tried going to shoreline twice, and both times got killed in the power plant, kinda got disheartened and gave up

[swift depot]

Yeah, Village in shoreline has a lot of trade goods for flea and is easier to stay out of the way of people so you can actually extract

Power plant is a big choke point

[wide shale]

Yeah don't do powerplant or resort

You can do the coast area but it's a bit higher risk

[rotund sand]

I wasn't really trying to go there

was just trying to avoid the coast

[wide shale]

But just hitting the villiage, swamp and hidden cachesbyoy can make a lot

[rotund sand]

and ended up in power plant

[wide shale]

But it's really easy to navigate because of all the powelines, lot of landmarks

[rotund sand]

I actually just wanted to go to cottage area

[wide shale]

Oh and for what you were saying about maps I print and laminate them

Cottage can make you a lot if you have the key (~40k)

[swift depot]

At some point you have to go through a chokepoint there. Gas station, power plant, or a few new resort to get to the other side of the map. Learn where they are and scout them out first. You’ll be fune

[rotund sand]

oh there is a key needed?

[bold kernel]

i dont understand why people run m4s but only use 855 like wtf

[wide shale]

For cottage yeah. One for the door and there is a locked safe too

[frank beacon]

because a m4 with 855a1 should be enough

[rotund sand]

would need to learn how to get to cottage first, I guess

[frank beacon]

unless u mean regular 855

you need key for safe too

[arctic canyon]

how come i have to un-scope to change magnification? when i L alt+right click it doesn nothing unless i unscope

[bold kernel]

no i did pmc with just a vpo and killed a guy with a decently kitted m4 but hes only using m855 rounds

[wide shale]

@bold kernel then he either made a mistake or doesn't understand the importance of ammo

[frank beacon]

what level was he

[bold kernel]

oh no he had 2 60 round clips and 2 30 round clips filled with that trash

[frank beacon]

If hes higher level he more than likely just made a mistake or he just was doing memes

[swift depot]

Maybe he was gonna go mag dump it to level recoil control

[frank beacon]

or that ye
could do that with a basic m4 tho

or like
any gun actually

[edgy hatch]

i invite my friend to a group

it says 2/4

and he loads in

while i am still matching

is this a known problem or just me ? It's really weird

[heavy tiger]

Its normal

[edgy hatch]

rly ? So it's normal that grouping fails ?

[heavy tiger]

Not a fail

You will load in close to him

It happens to my group all the time

Some just load faster

Tell him to get to cover and wait a beat

[silver dome]

server menus moving like ass atm is it worht getting into a raid

[cursive shoal]

why am i so fucking loot hungry.... its gotten me killed more than anything and i can't stop myself

[wide shale]

@cursive shoal Yeah greed is so deadly

[tropic path]

yeah...learned about greed from planet earth 1. never take more than you can handle. its better to walk away with 2 eggs instead of 3

the fox went back for the third egg, and ended up losing all three

[wide shale]

Lol

[cursive shoal]

I can't even cuss out the other player for bush camping when the only reason I was chasing after him was because I was loot hungry. I could have just dipped and been fine but I want MORE!! LOL

[rotund sand]

pass some of that brazen attitude to me and both of our problems get solved

[cursive shoal]

I am either too passive or too gung-ho. There is no middle ground.

[rotund sand]

one hour passed since the previous attempt, still haven't convinced myself to play again yet

[cursive shoal]

haha thats why i leave twitch up sometimes, because i need to calm down before i go back at it

[rotund sand]

yeah I try to watch streams often

can only watch them until it gets too intense though

[cursive shoal]

I'll leave the stream up on the second monitor and just mute it so i can focus on tarkov, but when i die i just unmute it

[icy gyro]

what does the deserter flag do? will i loose my gear, will insurance not work

[cursive shoal]

you lose everything if you go MIA

[civic storm]

Looking for team I'm new but experienced. My nickname for adding me in-game is xlLordBravolx

[icy gyro]

ok so keepo reconnecting, run 5 feet, loose connection.... and repeat?\

[wide shale]

@icy gyro if you won't make it out and are at risk of going MIA drop all of your insured gear

[icy gyro]

ok thanks you @wide shale

[wide shale]

@cursive shoal @rotund sand Try deep breathing exercises when things get intense

[hard ocean]

Do subsequent alarm flips also have a chance to spawn raiders on Reserve?

[gloomy heart]

whats the best way to find box's?

[rotund sand]

swap breathing? might be my first time hearing this

[wide shale]

Deep breathing haha sorry

[rotund sand]

oh lol

[wide shale]

@gloomy heart what boxes?

You mean like boxes on maps full of loot? Or like containers for you to put in your stash

[undone axle]

At some point I'm going to need a lot of help or I think I'm going to lose a friendship

I have maybe an hour in this game but I need to get good

what should I read?

[wide shale]

Watch some intro videos

A few great YouTubers who have into series

This game rewards knowledge a lot. It's not all about reaction time and flicks like other games

Learn the maps and how to remain unseen or be the one who sees the other guy first

[torpid crow]

Seeing other people is the hardest thing for me. I can be looking straight at them and not realize it because of how well they made colors blend.

[wispy coral]

i just need help with extraction points lol

the one thing i struggle with

[undone axle]

I can see but not aim

and I need to remember the knife is there

[torpid crow]

Every time I try to stab with the knife my quick stab hotkey doesn't work so I just spend 3 seconds putting my gun up and slowly pulling out my knife xD

[wide shale]

Dont use the knife haha

[undone axle]

i dont have a gun atm so

[wispy coral]

oof

[torpid crow]

I'm working on my aim by just repeatedly going offline mode impossible+horde with bosses and tagged and cursed.

[wispy coral]

u dont have pisols?

[wide shale]

Use headsets

In game

Listen closely

[torpid crow]

I have a hard time telling where gunshots come from, also. Last night I was having a good Scav run, got shot and it sounded like it came from behind me, so I sprinted forward behind cover..... 3 feet away from the guy shooting me xD

[wide shale]

@torpid crow right now there is only stereo sound in game not full surround. you hear a gunshot equally in both ears it could be either in front or behind. Only way to tell is to turn your head (freelook) or your body and see what year it gets louder in

E.g. Hear a gunshot that could be in front or behind, turn your head to the right and it gets louder in the left year it must be in front of you

[distant yew]

any one tryna help a newq guuy out

[rotund sand]

just offlining Shoreline again and once again can't believe how people can tell where they are going here

[wide shale]

@rotund sand use landmarks coupled with the power lines to find your way around

[torpid crow]

@wide shale That's pretty much what I do. Just a bad guess in the heat of the moment

[gloomy heart]

@wide shale boxs to go into the stash

[wide shale]

Also helps a ton if you use a map that shows spawn points

@gloomy heart best bet is to buy them. you can find them in marked rooms and stuff but those are hot zones and you will likely get gunned down

[distant yew]

So can anyone help a new guy out

[gloomy heart]

what should i buy ive got 1.5 mill but i havnt bought much with it xD

[torpid crow]

Love your music, Duke. But sadly, I'm too new to help anyone.

[wide shale]

@gloomy heart what is your current situation in terms of stash space and gear?

[gloomy heart]

smallest stash

[wide shale]

@distant yew what do you need?

[gloomy heart]

and gear isnt the best

[wispy coral]

how do u memorize the maps lol

[distant yew]

Just a mentor

[wispy coral]

i cant remember were extraciton points are

[rotund sand]

yeah thats what I'm trying

[wide shale]

@gloomy heart do you have enough gear to do a couple of runs?

[distant yew]

dont need handouts just looking for somone to show me the ropes

[rotund sand]

but I guess I'm not really normal

[wide shale]

I find that my gear fear is way lower if I know that I already have a few kits ready

[gloomy heart]

umm @wide shale apart from armour and helmets yeh

[wide shale]

@wispy coral use a second monitor / phone / print out

[wispy coral]

i still cant navigate it lol

my aim and movment is fine i get a decent amount of kills but get screwed cas i cant get out

[wide shale]

Practice. If you learn visually watch videos of each extraction

[wispy coral]

been tryin

[wide shale]

Also remember that most maps have some sort of requirement or randomness to most of the extractions

Like some of them simply won't be open

[wispy coral]

ye

[wide shale]

@gloomy heart what's your hideout situation like? Upgrade anything?

[rotund sand]

the moment I go inside a building and then come back out, I have already forgotten which way I was headed towards

[wide shale]

@rotund sand 🤣

[rotund sand]

might sound like a funny joke, but only being funny part is true

[wispy coral]

lol

[gloomy heart]

umm level 1 stash, lavatory, vents, medstation, rest space. Level 2 security and heating

so not much @wide shale

[distant yew]

@wide shale just need a mentor,someone to show me the ropes

[rotund sand]

for example, I know up from village area is the swamp, but if I loot around and then run again, I might end up back down at tunnel

[torpid crow]

I'm right there with you, Jinsoul. I'm starting to learn Customs a bit because it's what I run most and I keep a map on my 2nd monitor

[wide shale]

@gloomy heart when I first came into Cash I first started using better armor and equipment. Then got some basic cases. Then upgraded my hideout to get some passive income then upgraded armor again

[gloomy heart]

so i should buy better stuff?

[wide shale]

@gloomy heart what are you currently using?

[gloomy heart]

cos i like to keep stuff but because of the limited stash i gotta sell it

[wide shale]

@gloomy heart what stuff are you keeping

[rotund sand]

maybe aimbot tier players can recover from these issues though, sadly not me

[gloomy heart]

ak-74m or sks with SSh-68 helmet and PACA armour

[gloomy rose]

any1 lagging on eu servers?

[gloomy heart]

thats like the go2 setup

[ornate moss]

how many points do i need for lvl 9?

[wide shale]

@rotund sand always look for landmarks. If you are in villiage and going to leave check the direction of the power lines or see which side the wall is on. If you want to go back North then make sure the wall is on your left

[gloomy heart]

@wide shale i want to keep stuff to upgrade my hideout such as bolts etc but i just sell them so i can put guns down or backpacks etc

[queen stirrup]

What key is this?

[wide shale]

@gloomy heart one thing that helped me a lot with my hoarding tendencies is that you are usually selling stuff for whatever you buy it for (minus the market fee)

[gloomy heart]

true

[wide shale]

So if you sell your bolts for 10k each when you need them later you will probably be able to find it for the same price

[rotund sand]

yeah thats what I'm trying, but I can even mess up in reserve, so its a process

[wide shale]

@gloomy heart is move to class 4 armor probably

[gloomy heart]

right

gun improvement?

or hemet?

i just keep seeing the money go up and im like what do i do

and i dont wanna spend it all on like a lucky scav junkbox just yet as i die too much

[queen stirrup]

Do I need a better picture or?

[wide shale]

@gloomy heart try the 6B3TM

It replaces your rig and your armor, you get it back from insurance a lot and it's not super expensive (50k)

[gloomy heart]

ok ty

[ionic lava]

@LandonJ download the wiki and it will show ypu what key is needed for every map

[wide shale]

@gloomy heart in terms of cases I found that the ammo and med case where the most helpful to start as well as something to hold keys (keybar or docs case)

@gloomy heart and magazine case

[gloomy heart]

i have 1 docs case and 1 keytool

i found them in marked room

[wide shale]

Cuts down on clutter for things that you have a good reason to keep

Nice!

[rotund sand]

yeah there is a key map in wiki

[gloomy heart]

but i dont use the keytool due to having the docs case

and i dont have many keys

@wide shale what about the helmet

is that still useable when using the tier 4 armour

[wide shale]

@gloomy heart I still use the penis helm

[gloomy heart]

right

whenever i go out kitted i die xD

when i do scav runs i stay alive

[ionic lava]

I came in as a scav lastnight and when i spawned in there was a paracord laying at my feet

Good thing i have a habit of looking down lol

[gloomy heart]

what

thats crazy

[ionic lava]

I also die everytime i play with my pmc but survive as a scav 90% of the time

[copper geyser]

Best way to get Ragman level 2?

[gloomy heart]

literally

[rotund sand]

why don't you just play scav, then

if I were you I'd do that!

[gloomy heart]

@wide shale what map would be the best to make money / get cases

[ionic lava]

What lvl are you @gloomy heart

[gloomy heart]

12

[ionic lava]

Interchange for money

I'm 10

[rotund sand]

my scav survival rate is like 12% maybe, about 25% if I count run throughs

[gloomy heart]

with my pmc ive had 49 raids 18% survival rate with 2 run throughs

[ionic lava]

But have logged almost 500hrs in offline learning maps spawns and general gameplay

[rotund sand]

https://i.imgur.com/1invdEL.png

[ionic lava]

I should mention that I am also new to pc only been playing on one fpr like 4 months now

[rotund sand]

500h is nice, I'm only past 200h now

[rotund sand]

my tortoise pace showed itself immediately by these numbers

I survive less, but I stay alive longer, lel

[ionic lava]

Give me a min and ill post mine Im on my phone right now

[gloomy heart]

but u get more kills xD

[rotund sand]

nah, by average, you do have more

well I guess I can simply cut the first 20 raids or so, since I had like 1 kill or something in those

lol

[gloomy heart]

i die so much by like my own fault like whenever i hear someone shooting i jump literally out my chair

like i just take my hands off the keyboard and stand still

[rotund sand]

thats much better than what I do

which is pressing LMB

[gloomy heart]

xD

least u fire back

[rotund sand]

no I mean

[gloomy heart]

i just go here kill me

[rotund sand]

that'd be something

if they were shooting at me, that is

[gloomy heart]

ahahahaahaha

[snow knot]

Anyone here who wants to play with a noob?

[rotund sand]

last night I spawned on reserve

moved like 2m from my spawn

a grenade went off

I flinched and fired my gun

and got killed by another guy 30 seconds after

[gloomy heart]

i was at customs crouching up to dorms and heard a nade which was so loud i almost died irl

like this is the only game i jump on

[rotund sand]

I should practice just jumping and not pressing anything else

[gloomy heart]

ahaha

i should practice keeping my hands on the keyboard

[stray frigate]

Whats the % of raiders on reseerve?

[ionic lava]

My 2 year old likes to cone up and hut my stand which makes me do crazy stuff that generally gets me killed lol

There's the boss and he had 7 bodygaurds

Has

[stray frigate]

every raid?

[rotund sand]

@stray frigate https://www.reddit.com/r/EscapefromTarkov/comments/fa05jv/reserve_raider_rules/ not my post, but might be helpful

[gloomy heart]

whats the difference between raiders and scavs

[rotund sand]

there is some info in this thread that might prove useful

[gloomy heart]

all i know is that they roam in groups

[ionic lava]

Raiders has the chad gear

Have

[rotund sand]

raiders can speak English too

at least sometimes, I think

[ionic lava]

M4s

Lvl 5 and 6 armor

[gloomy heart]

would raiders shoot you if your a scav

[ionic lava]

The best ammo and nades

[gloomy heart]

like other scavs

[rotund sand]

I think if you get close, they do

[ionic lava]

Only if you shoot them or other scavs

[gloomy heart]

so theyre the same as normal scavs

[sharp cave]

should i sell bitcoins or keep them ive got 4 of them

[ionic lava]

Certain bosses are kinda humpy and will shot

[rotund sand]

or maybe thats just boss bodyguards

[gloomy heart]

ah right

[ionic lava]

Jumpy

[copper geyser]

Raiders are beefed scavs. Their aimbot is stronger too

If you hear "bad guy over there" followed by a grenade pull sound, you're fucked

[gloomy heart]

xD

[rotund sand]

enemy spotted!

[ionic lava]

Very true

[sharp cave]

I've got 4 bitcoins do they have any value or can I sell them

[ionic lava]

Just give up already

[rotund sand]

thats less scary for me than hearing a Russian quote

just a psychological effect

[ionic lava]

You can trade them to mechanic foe some good stuff

[sharp cave]

What would be worthwhile with them
Cause I did the mechanic gunsmith quests and got the bitcoins from there
Went from 1.5mil to 1.2mil doing from part 2 to 8

[ionic lava]

Right theres something bout being cussed out and threatened In a different language it just scares the s*** out of you

[rotund sand]

yeah that must be the effect

part of the problem is not knowing scav spawns, I guess

[ionic lava]

The night vision or the mp7 is all ik my traders are still lvl 1

You can learn the general area from the wiki

Or you mean ai

[rotund sand]

ai, yeah

just starting to get used to fighting ai to begin with

[torpid crow]

I basically just started the game. Level 3. I have a few guns, but nothing really modded. Should I be spending my money into upgrading hideout? Or what

[ionic lava]

Do ypu do offline mode any? If not you should cuz you set it up just how it would be online anf you can learn the so spawns really fast

Yea but no

[peak raptor]

not really i would focus on using that money and upgrading your gear your hideout comes later

[rotund sand]

yeah the day before I offlined into reserve with pve enabled "as online"

[peak raptor]

the hideout needs alot of investment to make it worthwhile

[sharp cave]

@torpid crow dont spend into hideout unitl youre a much higher level its not worth at all

[rotund sand]

was surprised at running into so many scavs around the same area

[ionic lava]

There are a few things you should build in the hideout to help them stash the money away

[rotund sand]

I actually killed same named scavs and was kinda dumbfounded

I guess it was good practice for my scav scare

[peak raptor]

some named scavs might be scav bosses

did they only have a first name?

[ionic lava]

I noticed that happenes alot

[rotund sand]

ah no, they were all regular scavs

[torpid crow]

Ah, okay. Is the most important gear armor, I guess?

[rotund sand]

just a regular scav with the very same name on post game screen

[peak raptor]

can be but i would focus on ammo

[torpid crow]

Because if you die you lose guns so it would be sort of a waste to kit out guns?

[peak raptor]

it might sound weird but rember its the ammo that does the killing not the gun

yeah pretty much

i would rather have a unmodded gun with good ammo then a modded gun with shit ammo

[ionic lava]

Imo you should build the nutrition unit the med station the water collector and the bed. They all give out of raid buffs that help alot being a new player.

[visual bloom]

is there any way to remove friend requests that i made by mistake?

fking flea market lol

[ionic lava]

Food and water is very important when you are killed in a raid

[rotund sand]

I wish there was!

[ionic lava]

No

[rotund sand]

got a very awkward reply from one of those people

[peak raptor]

im willing to play with some new people and show them around

[dapper estuary]

yo i got one statement to make, dont spend all your money on the gun and its apperance! SPEND IT ON GOOD AMMO

[rotund sand]

https://i.imgur.com/Iymrw5H.png kinda too late

[torpid crow]

I just want to get recoil under control and a sight so I don't have to try and aim with irons haha. I've been spending most of my time trying to work on recoil control but it's so wild on this AKM that I'm still strugglign

[dapper estuary]

@rotund sand not aon about you bro

i stack out my guns coz i have the moneyu to

im saying for new people who dont ahve alot

[rotund sand]

yeah that would be me

[dapper estuary]

like i put thermals on my fun for the shits and giggles

[rotund sand]

just used money from twitch drops on this, since I was like "nah who cares, I don't even play"

[dapper estuary]

fair

[rotund sand]

then decided to play again and now I have all these unused stuff

lol

at least they look cool though

I guess some of that was my own money, since I also got a scav box, a mag case and a food case, all for fun

[silk ether]

keep getting connection lost

[sharp cave]

@torpid crow try using M4's they're pretty good in terms of recoil, obviously doint pack the punch like AK's but they're good for having a laser weapon

[fallen relic]

Should I sell my lab card?

[wide shale]

@fallen relic which one?

[fallen relic]

Regular one

[wide shale]

@fallen relic and are you planning on running labs any time in the near future?

[fallen relic]

Hmm

I guess not

[wide shale]

Sell it

[fallen relic]

Ok cool

Thanks guys

[stray frigate]

what are the four keys for the lil bunker by train station?

[unique willow]

do reserve raiders shoot player scavs on sight?

[amber saffron]

Yes

All raiders do

[unique willow]

not all raiders

the boss minions dont

[austere elk]

They do if you get to close.

[amber saffron]

Yeah

[unique willow]

yeah, they dont since i have beyond multiple times just walked up to them and contemplated for a bit to kill or not. its only when the boss sees you that they shoot

[flat cipher]

RB-PSP1/2 and PS81/2

but the p1/2 keys are super fucking expensive

like 2m

[sharp cave]

should I just sell tetrizes or trade them for bitcoins idk anymore, ive got 4bitcoins

[flat cipher]

trade em

sell the btc to rapist

[austere elk]

Trade and sell

[sharp cave]

i still remember this one run i had 5 tetrizes and i only managed to get out with 2 cause i only had alpha at the time :( and i died to camping geared pmcs

[dusty rock]

why is my game stuck on matching when everyone is in the raid already?

[dawn plover]

does golden star/vaseline work on a black limb like other painkillers?

[azure lily]

Does repairing a face mask fix the bullet hole?

[gentle pawn]

Kinda glitched, but yes

[frank beacon]

Why do yall call boss goons raiders

[gentle pawn]

You need to repair it, load into an offline raid, unequip, re-equip, disconnect from offline and it’ll be fixed

[ionic lava]

@rotund sand heres my stats i said i would post sorry it took so long

[rotund sand]

well thats more survived raids than me in half attempts almost

impressive

[ionic lava]

u can get your scav stats if you go into a raid as a scav and go to overall. it shows only your scav stats

[rotund sand]

I think I have like 12/82 survived and 18/82 run through in that

[stone moss]

Yes

[limpid tide]

whos bored enough to help me on a run or two im new (eu)

[ionic lava]

im not exact on mine i think i have only looked once ill do a raid and get a pic

[meager girder]

should i avoid this queue? https://i.imgur.com/DQX8bXA.png

[ionic lava]

yes

lol

last time i used that queue i was shot by my supposed to be teammate as soon as i spawned in

[steady vessel]

Anyone want to help me out new have done a few runs(NA)

[bold kernel]

@meager girder wtf

are those colors

[thick tree]

do i look for a teacher here?

[rotund sand]

@ionic lava https://i.imgur.com/HbrCSM2.png lol I was close enough in my recalling

well its 91 and 22 run-throughs now

[mild crag]

why cant i insure those?

[flat cipher]

restart your game

[rotund sand]

a 100k run-through, good enough for my immovable rat soul

[copper geyser]

If I trade therapist a rye crouton for an emelya will the emelya be found it raid

[prisma stag]

it won't be marked as found in raid but still suitable for quest if I remember correctly

[copper geyser]

for the first jaeger quest

[mild crag]

this game hates me, what does this mean

[prisma stag]

server down

[bold kernel]

servers are W H A C K

[mild crag]

ah k

[nocturne heart]

just extracted from a raid and got hit with the loading screen for a while now, am i going to lose all my extracted items?

[prisma stag]

hopefully I didn't loaded to battle heavily geared as I just wanted :)

if you pmc then likely it will be with you. but shit may happen...

[silver dome]

3rip serv

[pastel flume]

someone got the latest adar modding guide? (cheap mods for beginners)

[prisma stag]

at least in 2 of 3 same situations before I had everything I managed to collect

idk... put a comfy sight, maybe flashhider and... I'd stop with that, tbh

[rotund sand]

servers fried again

[prisma stag]

adar is not worth be modded heavily but someone can collect nice mods from your dead body so ensurance won't be really helpful

at the moment im only playing sks, but i wanted something with mags to reload faster

[thorn kindle]

Any tips on how to find the evac points. Even using the maps by the time I find it I’m dead 😂

[prisma stag]

just yesterday wanted the same. think about hunter or m1a

[pastel flume]

would a ak74m with a medium scope and some recoil reduction better?

[flat cipher]

You can buy actual mags for the sks

You can also just use the vepr km instead

because its the same thing but better

[prisma stag]

avoid ??? exits (they may be closed), plan your path right when you loaded into raid and checked the exits, head to exits at least 15+ mins before the end.
that works for me when I follow it. but I rarely doing that, lol

[snow egret]

i have played 2 games now and are trash anyone wanna play

;D

[thorn kindle]

😆 I get side tracked then can’t find my way to any

[rotund sand]

literally thought that ??? was a bm towards a new player for a second

[pastel flume]

at the beginning i googled exits, so i know how they look

and now i know them

[bold kernel]

why are there players with diffrent color names?

[pastel flume]

and i got the map that im playing on my second monitor with exits and stuff marked

[prisma stag]

gold and crowns - own EOD edition

[pastel flume]

if you bought a special edition

[rotund sand]

you can just run offline to learn some more if you don't have a second monitor

[prisma stag]

or use your phone or tablet for map. actually, after 5-10 raids you rarely will need it, just to head to specific place you rarely visited before

[proper ginkgo]

@rotund sand grats! what map?

[pastel flume]

@proper ginkgo some of the early missions are on customs

[rotund sand]

oh you mean the run-through? reserve

just getting out was enough with that garbage VPO I had for weapon, I guess

[bold kernel]

Do I lose the red rebel ice pick if I die?

[spiral dirge]

U don't lose any melee weapons and they can't be looted by other players

[bold kernel]

👍

[undone axle]

is there a way to accumulate weapons with a low risk of item loss?

[rotund sand]

you can run through with your scav to bring in his weapon to your stash

or just go blast another scav's head and take his weapon too

[undone axle]

well guess i gotta learn the map

[true lion]

I feel like im spending sooo much money jsut healing my pmc after i die. best way to heal?

[visual bloom]

have an upgraded hideout and do a scav run meanwhile kekw

[wheat ether]

yeah

[visual bloom]

just look around certain spawns that have med spawns

or grab some tapes and trade for car packs at the rapist

[wheat ether]

lol

[warm rover]

Can I get a 7days free trial for a friend to try the game out, he's not sure if he wants to play it :/

[wheat ether]

how are you supposed to get that

[warm rover]

Idk one of the mods once gave me few months ago before I buy it

so I thought I'd ask for a friend

[frank beacon]

trials are over

[bold kernel]

Can anyone help me out a bit?

[upper ibex]

Anyone mind helping me out, have a mic etc. last time played like a year ago

[fringe plinth]

do I need to insure my alpha container?

[dapper estuary]

no ^^^^

[fringe plinth]

cheers ❤️

[dapper estuary]

np ❤️

[split vapor]

Yeah trial keys aren’t really a thing

[surreal sundial]

Hey can I do a run with someone?

[ornate moss]

@here anyone got a fix for getting 20 less fps when getting into a zoomed scope? :/

[echo sky]

@surreal sundial are you new? i'm pretty new figuring out some runs on customs

[surreal sundial]

Yeah I'm new

[echo sky]

i've done a few runs, trying to figure out the loot spawns on maps and stuff on scav

i have another run in 20 mins if u wanna do one

[dusty otter]

hello, how can i see all the mods for a weapon when i am actualy modding it?

I only see what i have in my stash

[surreal sundial]

Yeah I'm up for it ihasamoose#0124

[dusty otter]

ive seen some youtubers have all the mods that exist for the gun as an option and then they can buy it

[echo sky]

sounds good ill ping you when i'm ready if thats cool

[surreal sundial]

Cool

[dusty otter]

but when i try to mod a gun, i only see as option the mods that i own

[formal nova]

@dusty otter are you level 5?

And do you have the workbench level 1 in your hideout

[tardy pond]

@dusty otter do edit preset instead of modding when right clicking the weapon

Anything you have examined will show up if it can go on the gun

[formal nova]

@dusty otter if you’re level 5, go to the flea market and select weapon parts and mods and go through and examine EVERYTHING

That’ll unlock all the mods possible for you to us while doing edit preset

[ionic lava]

@rotund sand here are my scav stats sorry got busy

[rotund sand]

woah thats a lot of scav runs you got there

[ionic lava]

i dont really like playing by myself so i dont play my pmc unless i have a teammate and thats hard sometimes cuz i have kids that are loud and not the best mic

[limpid basin]

@surreal sundial @echo sky I’m new too down for a trio run

[surreal sundial]

[rotund sand]
