i can run a few raids with you if youd like
I usually just check the scavs gun and their pockets real quick
Cause they can have like keycards and stuff in their pockets
is it a waste of time to look for boxes and stuff? everytime i find a weapon crate its empty or has like 2 items in it
could have been already looted
but the more you loot
the higher your skill gets and that increases your odds of finding better loot
oh no kidding? i had no idea, thanks for that tip
its influnced by
Interesting
No?
All boxes will have the same loot for everyone
well that skill literally says otherwise? so whats the truth
That’s why we have the loading loot stage when joining a match
so that skill does nothing and is a lie?
it loads loot pools, pools functions as groups of possible loot spawns that the game can access and draw from
at least thats how pools works in most programs to best of my knoweldge
knowledge*
i could be wrong though, its how ive always perceived it based on how its written and the wording on the wiki
I believe loot spawns are generated for containers when the first person searches it
This way the server doesn’t have to track loot which people don’t interact with in their match
Loading loot is for loose loot spawns
thanks mako!
It’s possible that loot luck isn’t implemented yet because there’s a bunch of placeholder skills
yup
what happens if you run out of money?
you can upgrade hideout and it increase heals over time
helps when your a newb at least, shortens the time to heal and is a one time purchase instead of meds everytime
i only ahvve med station level 2 but i can full heally from death in about 20-30m
Scav run takes me 20m or less if you upgrade more hideout things like Intelligence
so you can back to back each
thats what i do, i just got the game a week or so ago @craggy finch
I bought it few hours ago, atm I'm lost 😄
what exactly to upgrade in hideout?
in the beginning probably better to leave all the stuff in stash and go naked? 😄
seriously cant survive for 5 mins
as a first timer I managed to survive longer than 5 min and get a few kills, but I still lose pretty quickly
get injured and rip
gotta watch some youtube vids
this game IQ is too big for me 😄
i have lol, and people sprint around no proboem, i run across and street and boom one shot in the chest
Yeah now scavs will specifically target you if you don’t go in with gear
scavs = bots?
could be a player, but the ones that target you like terminators, yes, bots
New to Tarkov here. Anyone showing the ropes?
what's the difference between playing as a scav and normally?
You get given random free gear as a scav, but it means you don’t get to pick what gear you have
that's it?
you also spawn in later than everyone else and cannot complete tasks as a scav
so for a noob I guess scav is a better choice?
Your pmc has some things like secure container and more often better skills which help a lot
u dont loose all your stuff from stash
is there anyone who could Sherpa me
i don't care which map, i have 2 monitors but I just need some getting used to
what is sherpa
i think its someone who just goes in and raids with you
someone who knows the maps and all the spots
It’s like 70 or 80k
just looking in the overal thing on my character... what's the "survivor class" bit mean? like what attributes does it classify people as and what changes it?
ahhh fairs, cheers for that @hushed furnace
You might need a railed dustcover
is there an akm railed dust cover?
found it
how do you know if a sight goes on a rail?
well I have 2-3 sights and they aren't going on my railed akm
using the "bastion" dust cover btw
why isn't it working?
well I finally got it
it has to be a tactical
wait no
hmm
could be conflicting check on the wiki by finding the scope page then go to the conflicting section.
dont forget some sight need a mount first
i think i have an addiction to scav runs in this game, so much so that I ignore my pmc runs
ppl might misunderstood you have gear fear if you saying that lol
i think its just fun to go in with random shit and come out with kitted weapons and other shit.
can anyone show me around shoreline? I want to know the map and loot spawns
so I have to hard shotguns and body armor over to skier
and I have a mp-153
but I can't hand it over to him
and body armor
are they mp 133 shotguns?
no
I can't turn it in for some reason
they are not even mp-153 or mp-133 they are toz-106's
he is a gamer
Quests, both player-given and dynamically generated, are intended to be a big part of Escape from Tarkov.
There are many quests in Escape from Tarkov. Some require you to pick stuff up for certain traders, while others require you to kill other operators or mark vehicles and s...
Nah, you can buy them off skier
this is weird question, but i got my game stuck to where I cant open the settings lol
its like cutoff
anyone know how to fix it
Youre in windowed, hmm.
yea
and I can't make the window smaller
Alt + enter?
gg
A few of them, yeah
What's a decent budget weapon for factory?
I've been using mpx but it's kinda pricey when you buy all the stuff for it
The 136 Vepr works well for budget
anyone else in a raid right now getting DCed every 5 steps? 1st time today
switch servers
if u can dump ur gear in a bush then die
close the game and in the launcher you can pick servers
if u seriously cant reconnect your server done fuckin died
so its the same for others in this match?
yes sometimes the servers dump
happened to me and my friend multiple times today until we switched servers
i went in server selected and deselected a bunch, no luck
yes
even when it doesnt show up on double o?
poggers @forest steppe ty will be super helpful
Looking for some help in quests and learning .. new player here!
is there a map with reserve pmc spawns?
Noo i dont believe so
if there is i havent found or seen one
Was borderline thinking of making one myself earlier
nah but hes pretty easy to make one
gotcha, it's frustrating being new and not knowing exactly where people are gonna come from
cuz everyone looks to spawn kill
any sherpas on that wanna help me run some customs?
@stone surge Are flechettes the type of bullet?
Correct. They're really short combat ammo for shotgun.
Ah
they work wonders in office/lockers though
good ammo
So it's good for just bumrushing stuff
its a shell with a shit ton of needles in it
Sounds like fun
it is, and it's cheap af to try out
just keep in mind that it's gonna be shitty past 15-20meters+
I've had a hard time figuring out what budget gear I should take out as well
I don't like not having a face visor but it's expensive for the lzsh helmet and stuff
I've been using the uley rig
6b3tm is better value.
@versed oasis its trash but gets the point
Does that one have a visor too
its armor
Oh
thanks @split vapor
which ones are better? and why
wait, do goggles actually do something
they make rain smaller on your screen
click on it and look like a millimeter to the left of the second to the top hash mark
those black things?
those are sunglasses
damn
Lol those are sunglasses????
glowing in the fog
godd damnnn
and in smoke too
i got like 15 sunglasses
from about 300m away
any experienced players wanna help me run some customs or woods?
from what ive seen its looks like all the sunglasses style glasses do it
the goggles dont do it
okay i gets rids of dem
tbh idk if the clear glasses do it also
but do any of the eyewear protect from anything else than rain?
so if a frag grenade blows up right next to me but dont kill me and fragment flies at my eyes
it doesnt protect my eyes from things like that?
any sherpa on that is willing to run a couple raids with me, just started two days ago would love some pointers
Every time i play this game its foggy as shit
does fog come visible better if u look 10km away with 10x scopes
lol
if you get high enough you get above the fog layer
Like on the rocks on woods?
havent been on today
like spine and ruaf the highest point you can basically null the fog
https://streamable.com/gq17w like this for example you can clearly see the fog layer
thats svds right?
si
flir gay
some evil chad had this
real man use reap
lol i never have used thermals
or 1p59 best
Oh goodness that's clean over the fog
its fun to loot thermal gun and use it for first time
i did that today with other thermal gun
the fog is all down low as you can see and all the area to spine is clear
is that a phenomenon that only exists in woods
nah id assume its on all maps
am i going crazy or did the new update change the sound quality in game?
idk they increased sound quality like months ago, fixed vertical sound a good amount also
made IC not shit
well less shit
today it seemed way sharper then usually
am i going crazy or did the new update change the sound quality in game?
@old snow did ur hearing skills ingame level up lol
burhhhhhhhh
legit my survival rate has gone down 10% in one day
always getting 1 tapped
u must learn the way of the rat @versed oasis
so, I absolutely cannot survive customs. ever. i've gotten out of interchange 25-30 times, never once customs. never even close. what the fuck is up with that place? why does it blow so bad?
u must learn optimal routes for walking around the maps and learn the spots where people usually are
its different for every maps
Construction, gas, dorms
Why tf so much server connection loss
red barn early / late
and stay away from dorms if youre not tryna get juiced up
first 5 or so attempts I just tried to literally get out, no loot, just get to an extraction point. nope. now I'm trying to get the damn pocket watch and I can't even get to the truck
people snipe above gas
@upbeat solar are u aware of the scav snipers
yes, never died to them
theres some close to that truck
@bold kernel it went up last week but its seems like the audio is completely different from yesterday. so i was wondering if anyone else experience this.
hmm dunno
Are you going to the truck early or late?
i dont get to the truck at all
it shouldnt be that hard to just bum rush that truck when u spawn
fuck this game holy shit
i use so many different headsets in game and play different scavs
hearing differs
it shouldn't be, but bumrushing means i run into dudes instantly with facemasks and rpk's it seems. so i layed in a bush and waited 20 literal minutes, stood up, took 6 steps and a mosin man was right there
i'm even doing night raids
to my fellow rat brothers@ some guns that i have taken from dirty C H A D's within 2 days of playinks, stay stronk and keep rattinks
if you spawn railroad to tarkov there should be no way someone gets there before u
idk if i've ever gotten that spawn. i should have by pure chance but i don't have perfect game knowledge
but you also have to extract with the thing and thats near impossible
yeah i got that pulled up
Hey everyone. I could use a tour guide to help me get in and out of woods. I’m trying to complete the quest, Introduction from Mechanic. I need to find Jaeger’s camp, find the message, and extract. I could somebody’s help with this. I would great appreciate it. Thank you
i'm hitting the lowest pop servers, on night raids, and running into so many players its nutty. idk man i think im just never going to get to do any tasks. it seems insane that anyone plays customs
@upbeat solar, maybe try a different server.
i have been bouncing around. usa, EU, Asia doesnt matter
idk what route ur taking but if u spawn railroad this is the best route to take. When i help people with the task we do this every time if we spawn railroad and we make it out. Check bus stop and bridge before cross the road and ur usually good (unless ur just unlucky)
i mean thats all i can really say.. its the easiest way to do it i think
yeah i;ve never had that spawn. ive gotten railroad to port a shitload and there is always someone from the south killing me
I can't join anyone's stream
does anyone know why my metabolism skill isnt updating even tho i sat with a backpack full of mayo and water then didn't disconnect but extracted ?
you can't cheese it like that anymore. diminishing returns got added
ah for fuck sakes lol
how do I refill an IFAK/CMS or something like that
You dont
you buy a new one
so do i just level it passively ?
yep
by just drinking everything i find or what
from what i understand its just eat whatever you find and youll get there
cause im level 26 now and still at metabolism 1 lol
just do it the same way if u spawn there. when ur going to construction keep ur eyes on ur right the entire time because someone probably beat you to the area
thats the route ive tried to take, mostly get sniped from the south when crossing the bridge or shortly after, or the 2 times i have ever gotten to the truck someone leaving dorms kills the shit out of me
its just crazy how there is absolutely no safe-ish area. on interchange i've died 3 times out of 30 or so. there plenty of low traffic areas. customs? nowhere close to ANY
because with interchange people arent going a linear path like customs
luger cci or pst gzh
it just seems like shit design. ive only really played those two maps but i sure hope there are more like interchange than customs
@bold kernel 308 mdr where its at
if the first 30 quests weren't on customs it wouldn't be so bad. but all of the starter shit, in a killing corridor? what the fuck
can't wait for th emap upgrade
soon ™️
from old gas to near ruaf roadblock exit
@split vapor wut?
308 mdr best rifle
ooohh
as long as there isn't a dorms equivalent down there and its more of an empty zone, I'd love that expansion.
mdr slaps
i sold all my mdr's
L
didnt take them out for raidinks
i think i need new eyes
dunno why
556 mdr is lack luster still
can someone tell me if luger cci 9mm is good or not
its decent flesh damage ammo
cause the only way to get the barrel is to buy the rifle
Are they planning on adding raiders to shoreline
lol, snoreline
option one play night time with a reapir fal and m80 and sit about 200m away from the exits and tap them in the face
option 2 rpk 95 round drum electric boogaloo
Hard to be a chad when you dont have the gear
You can always run away, kill one and flee
If one in a squad dies, very likely the rest will just camp near his body or wait for you to come
@versed oasis stay out of the mall. hit power station, hit a couple caches, get the hell out. its pretty dang easy.
how are caches
i never bothered with them
like how much do you usually make off a run of running them
yet again giving away a red rebel ice pick to the first <lvl10 player to dm me EDIT: CLAIMED
Dayyummmmm ^^^^^
@frank beacon anywhere between 100k to 300+
M1a is such a good gun
do ai scavs get hostile towards me as player scav if i kill another player scav?
yes
but not if you were shot in self defense
He has to hit you though
no wizzing around you
And I am not sure, but I think scavs on other side of map wont know about it. Correct me if im wrong
You're correct iirc
Been a while since I have done a scav raid tho so don't hold me to that ❤️
yea, i killed a player scav near big red and when i crossed a bridge in to construction the scav didn't aggro
idk if that guy had killed a scav already though
is there anyone who will let me shoot them with a mosin? I'll pay 100k roubles lols
fucking jaeger quest
Keep in mind tasks don't progress for people in your squad (Shooting people u queue in with doesn't count)
BUT you can queue in at the same time on an unpopulated server to get into the same game
jaeger quest?
anyone else find the visual cues useless and misleading?
e.g. I was in resorts, I heard gun shots and nades thrown around. I could see the flares and it was mostly on the top of the corridor. I assumed they were upstairs. After 10 minutes of looking around, I find out that they were fighting in the basement gym area
yeah sometimes flashlights glitch through walls/floors
makes raiders on labs kinda awkward sometimes
Do different headsets work differently?
I can never tell if they are below or above me
vertical sound is fucked all around
I was in the second floor and I could see the flares from basement
and it sounded like they were on the 3rd floor
yeah I heard gunshots which sounded only about 100 m away. I went to it and couldn't see anyone. I had the sordin headset on
headphone*
this fucking game man
spawn as a scav 2 minutes in to reserve right behind a team of 3
https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Zibbo_lighter
Not the correct result? Use !wiki page zibbo for a direct link or !wiki search zibbo for a list of all hits.
i mean, i was a scav
didn't think i'd spawn right behind someone just camping spawn

Any tips for aim and getting scared easily
Jumping is just something you stop doing over time
lol i still jump when im playing solo and hear a fat crack of a bullet
run gear that you can be comfortable with losing and isnt a huge part of your money pool
itll help with gear fear
which in turns helps you perform better
and as you gain confidence you can upgrade your gear
and as you upgrade it you wont be as scared to use it
Level 28 but still suck, could use some tips or help.
how is stash value calculated? trader value, or flea value?
im guessing trader
@cerulean cape Gotta be trader value.
alright, thats what i figured
flea markets fluctuate too much,
thats what i was assuming, but wasnt sure if it was like lowest price on flea
time to sell off my stash of shit then, raise that bad boi
And my kid has 30 million + rubles worth of keycards, plus another 10M + of keys and still has stash value of around 35-40 mil.
does eating in menu count towards metabolism skill?
also is the item case worth it?
is it a smaller thicc case basically?
cases are a better investment when you consider cost per slot.
Or at least it has been in everything I have read.
No personal experience there.
sell everything, only space you need is for money cases 😉
Peacekeeper LL1 sells USD for rubles. 111 rubles for 1 USD
Skier LL2 sells Euros, 123 Rubles for 1 Euro
Those values fluctuate
best beginner tip.
Backcharge the purchase while you still can.
how does that get me roubles
can you do euro to ruble?
@ancient falcon No direct way to go back to rubles. Only thing you can do is buy things with your Euro and sell it on flea for rubles.
sellin rr for 1 sicc case 1 items case and 1 med case equals to about 5.2mil ❤️ ev0legends
I just killed a guy because the car he was behind didnt pop up while I was unscoped
woow...
when I scoped in, it popped up
what the fuck is wrong with the axe, there was a player 5m in front of me and I rushed to him to hit with the axe, first hit done then second hit took 3 sec and last hit took 5 sec
what the fuck is this?
realism my ass
how in 9 sec I do 3 hits only?
Out of stamina, most likely
no gear whatso ever
the guy missed a lot because of panic
and he needed to reload
how the hell I ran out of stamia with no gear in 5m distance?
stamina affects running now swining your arm
how come in 3 swings I ran so fast out of stamina?
¯_(ツ)_/¯
the question is what are you doing with an axe
kill geared players with no gear?
ok ?
Afaik, the only way to sell it is via fence
Actually, scratch that - Flea market also has sales too
Not confident in how sought after those alpha containers are, though - Might as well fence it
I see
does shooting range expend ammo?
no
what container can you stole guns in?
secure container*
epsilon doesn't take any
I didnt go labs yet, only offline. Should I try it? Lvl 26
How much should I invest in a labs loadout?
Right, not having any luck running with a stock SKS. What's a cheap AR I can go with early on, and what attachments are worth going for? I'd like at least some kind of sight/scope
try the same caliber AK, 762x39. AK-104
Vepr KM
There is no cheap AR
hello, anyone willing to play for a bit? I am new af
The VSS is also a good cheap option.
spits out 20 rounds in like 2 seconds. Can dump a geared player
@ancient falcon none
are servers having issues on NA?
Indeed
Oh, damn
@sweet ravine m4s get expensive. Try a cheap adar or ak74m build. That are the guns I started with and still are a decent option
https://i.imgur.com/F2Dqkma.jpg easiest clap of my life
killed first guy with adar stole his val then killed other 2 lol
Nice one
https://i.imgur.com/ku14AHO.jpg cheers for the loots!
imagine dying to a naked dude with 1mag in a adar
with a redut and airframe on
using a val in dorms
did he fire at you
nah he died before he could
then using a val part was not really relevant p:
I just cant use vss/as val at any range apart from cqc
^lies
Yea, I tried it a few times and I feel more comfortable with an m4, 5.45 ak or M1A
honestly went in to mark the room for Cult part 2
@tribal cove thanks! Any idea of what attachments to prioritize?
and ended up walking out with a bunch of loot lol
That too. It goes through ammo very fast and max cap mags are 30
@sweet ravine the cqb muzzle is kinda op, remember to change the gasblock on the adar, a decent sight, hanguard if you want and buttpad for ak
is this game projectile?
I have quest chemical part 4 which trader should i choose to give it to?
is that even a cheap AR at that point though
@sweet ravine or try a stick M1A with M80.
@rotund sand depands on what cheap means for you
I mean deu was saying stock SKS did not work, so I just assumed he meant around that price range
I mean, if i have to spend more to do better, i'm alright with that
How much roubles do you have
sitting on about 500k rubles total atm tho, so nothing crazy preferably
roger. all is well, then.
Good ammo is more important than the gun it comes out of.
VEPR KM is what I use and it almost 100% comes back, yes
right. and priority on attachments for that?
not a whole lot
scope, maybe suppressor
dont need a foregrip if you want it cheap
it's basically just an sks but 20x as good
I just put a PK-06 on top
bastion dust cover, pk06 or wahtever optic, and then a cheap suppressor or something
err, is the cheapest suppressor 25-30k?
good price/performance, I suppose
kinda depends how much you wanna spend on it
if you take BP ammo, that's going to be the most expensive part, anyway
to get a foregrip, do i need to change something else first?
or is it called a charge grip?
Do you have a workbench
No
build if you want to mod weapons, helps a lot
Hmm for foregrip you need hand guard with rails
my Adar i use and used to kill the juicer is just pk06 mk12 gas block take off sights
and tap tap tapaway with 995
https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Magpul_MOE_pistol_grip_for_AK this is what I often use on the VEPR 136, cheap enough
oh dear god, you were not kidding, the workbench helps a lot
yeah, you can linked search your gun and inspect parts you haven't before and then come back to see them in your edit presets screen
uninspected parts won't appear in preset
without workbench, unless you are a gun nerd (I'm not one for example p:), you can't tell what goes where
Do all flashlights have the same brightness?
@rotund sand honestly i do 2/3rds mag ps then topload the remaining 1/3rd with bp
I did try this once, but got disheartened as I used my top ammo to kill scavs
was 5 rounds to 25
thanks for the help lads
Im looking to build a goood night time rsass. any pre build blueprints?
do gun stats influence a lot or is other gear bonuses/negatives and skills more important?
like should I spend more in upgrading gun ergonomics or just grab better ergonomic gear
Now hear me out. If I'd make a sks nicely modded. And with a close ranged sight. Is that good?
Anyone know a good method for farming money spent on traders?
@night trench guns are nice and fun but if you're ammo is bad. It ain't happening chief. You could have an akm with no dust cover with the strongest ammo and that'd be better than the fanciest gun
SKS is a carbine so for cqc is good for low ammo consumption no?
like under 50 meters
sks can have external no?
if you are asking if mods have a solid impact on the stats, yes, they do
It can
yeah but like if I add a grip that addas x amount of ergonomics and have a helmet that reduces it by same amount, its the same? or does gun impact less than gear
@rotund sand cant disagree on that. High ergo and low recoil is very nice.
I think it balances out @night trench
But I'm quite new to the game
also what exaclty impacts "shooting from the hip" accuracy?
is it like the same always or theres skill for that?
flashlight/laser attachment increases hipfire
ok thanks
ive seen myself using hipfire with pistol and shotgun with good effect
in cqc
I suck with it. It doesn't seem like the middle of the screen at times
I think recoil affects it a lot
But its good if you like move around and drop 4-5 shots then get to cover
I usually land 1-2 shots
Well, yeah. Hipfire is not a perfect laser.
Recoil (and especially Accuracy) impacts the bullet.
Nor can you usually perfectly aim for 'the middle' as there is no marker
On vids I see that they aim slightly to the right
I dont know the exact details, but I guess it could make sense.
plus it depends what side of the gun its placed
ofc you're never going to hit dead center
I mean, you'll get a really good feel for it once you've played for a while
^
can you cancel your healing
Any OCE sherpas around?
Sure whats up
do you do duo beginner runs at all with new players?
@ancient falcon im not sure, ive seen people do it but idk how
I do sherpa runs with people who go through the Sherpa system, no matter who or how many people
I think LMB cancels healing animation, no?
@vernal anchor do you only accept through the online request or?
Yeah pretty much from here: https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/sherpa but if someone contacts me then I can grab the request specifically
@rotund sand yeah just click a bunch until you put it away
Can you put a face shield on a 6b47 helmet>
I sometimes misclick out of loot/gear screens and end up firing a round 
Is the RB-ST key for Reserve worth keeping?I really dont run Reserve,but ive had a lot of bad luck on my main map the last week. Also too, for anyone who mains Interchange have you noticed a significant drop in the GPU spawns? Im literally rushing Idea office every raid, and I havent found even one in like a whole week.
@solemn pike I would keep it. Put it in your alpha and do some budget runs on reserve and make that place your destination. If you get the loot in the room to yourself it will take 3 or 4 successful runs (at worst) to pay for the key.
the garage outside knight buildings
@tardy pond https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/RB-ST_key
looks like a good place to check out on the way to a manhole exit 
Its 680k.
Most gpus on interchange will be tech stores, not really idea office
yeah I guess if I avoid PMC, I'll get there, eventually xD
Tips for killing raiders on reserve?
@solemn pike only good thing in that room is tank battery
And you wont be able to manhole extract
Dont peek the same angle twice or more @bold kernel range is preferred
Mosin scavs or other snipers are great for dropping raiders
At what distance do they aggro?
Im not sure about distance
But if they dont hear a supressed shot they generally dont care
680k is a lot of money for me, and the tank batteries are 250k. Are the tank batteries a reasonably often spawn?
If they can locate your position they will aggro
@solemn pikei believe they nerfed batteries spawning in there as often as they used to do
I guess they can hear you also
wiki lists OFZ, phased array, too. those would be good
@bold kernel for sure
If you're scav friendly as a scav bunker raiders don't aggro, train raiders are asshole and will kos
And guards?
As in gluhar's guards?
Scav friendly scavs will get the middlefinger and if you get too close they shoot, everything else they kill
Do scavs do warning shouts to player scav?
Don't think so, unless they are player scavs
Ai scavs are friendly towards player scavs, unless you killed other scavs
Not killing, hitting them with shots
Yep, you can shoot at them, miss and be safe :P
the hit rule is kinda stupid in some way
Or shoot at point blank at another ai scav and die cause you missed :))
They kinda improved the ai, it seems more humanely
At least for the scavs
if I wanted some unrealistic change, I'd ban certain players from scaving in 
RR is 6m now? damn, it was just 5.5m a week ago
The Jaeger barter is half
so I guess I need to farm like 5m with my scav
Check the Jaeger barter it's much better and cheaper, like 3mil
if I say 100k per run, its 50 extracts and I can run through about 40% of the time, so it is 125 raids
if I do 2 per day, in two months I'll have mine
100k per run? Is really little
And in stock
I often don't loot around
You can easily get 3-400
100k per run is a few 10k~ items generally
then I sell the gun and it makes some money too
alright i put off the tarkov shooter quest what maps are best for part 1?
but from what I learned, the more you loot, the higher the chances someone will blast your head off a second later
Gotta get better and know when you can and cant loot i guess
at the moment I still get stuck inside the first building I enter in reserve
it is not necessary to find an extraction point? you just have to survive till the timer runs out?
no, you have to go to an extract
what if time runs out?
missing in action, you lose your stuff as if you died
you have to drop insured stuff before timer runs out if you want to get them back, as well
good tip
cause insurance doesn't work on items you have on yourself as you go MIA
hope you always extract and never need this tip p:
i tried offline mode now
had the map on my 2nd screen
still quite hard to navigate
I still run around in offline to learn how to navigate after all this time xD
@rotund sand red rebel can be bartered from Jaeger level 3 for a lot cheaper
It's not worth it buying from the flea
true but if I actually had the ability to get Jaeger level 3, I wouldn't really be setting red rebel as a goal, either
Should I always choose the biggest mag there is? Or is there any downsides to that?
Cost and ergo penalties
In this case it's for ARs
😄 I dunno. I tried a unmodded AKM. Try to spray with that beast 😄
Hahaha
@rotund sand is jaeger 3 hard to get?
when you are bad enough, everything kinda is
@rotund sand what part are you struggling with? the rep the cash or level?
I haven't even unlocked Jaeger
unlocking him isnt too difficult just get used to woods offline learning the map and locations and bring a gun you dont care about or go hatchling. then go to jaegers camp
i went to jaegers camp a few times while doing woods quest and only ran into someone there once
yeah I did try it as hatchling once and found the camp
someone shot me but then gave me a bandage seeing what I was doing, I guess
lmao did you find the letter?
but then I glitched and couldn't move
ah damn
so I wanted to reconnect
but apparently you can't do that if you press disconnect yourself
so I went AWOL
yeah its better to x out of the game then reconnect
did not try a second time
Just alt f4 :P
started doing reserve scav runs, hoping to run into nobody
yeah reserve scav runs are pretty good for loot i got two sick level 5 armors and a kitted out m4 and ak out of the raiders
money wise, I need 10 good runs to get that much xD
I'm trying to change, but it's a tortoise pace process
You guys are lucky, I tried unlocking Jaeger 10 Times and always died to a sniper
yeah the game has a decent learning curve i only started 2 weeks ago and i still fluctuate between a mill and 500k
yet you could still get some stuff, impressive enough
though i am a loot rat so i have a lot of backpacks rigs and armors
@rotund sand do you know the loot spawns?
on reserve? uh, I wouldn't be saying that, no
Well
Learn them
Just watch a video
That literally greatly improves the amount of money you make
I thought about that too but
then I realized if I learned a really good loot spot
I'd never go there p:
I fear other players, not gear xD
Just shoot em
good loot spot -> running into other players
then start going near em?
Yeah
uh
gear fear is pretty much player fear
yeah I know I'm kinda stuck, no denial
I mean I'm not taking useful gear with me, just VPOs, basic armor
my point still stands
the problem is I'm a pacifist in any game I play and this is not a game for that
When you get server connection lost
is there anything you can do besides attempt to reconnect over and over?
donate niketa
can someone gimme some stuff pls
as scav do I have to wait for time to finish?
I extracted with like 3 seconds left on timer and it said I completed raid too early
Completed raid too early means Run through or that you didnt get enough XP
you still survived
If you wait for time to finish you lose everything
ah
I spawned as scav like 12 mins left
so I just looted some stuff and ran for extract
when is the boat in woods open?
Always, but only for scavs
wdym it says its for both pmc and scav
@night trench if you have 300 or more xp gained you dont get run through
nice info
I had one PMC run in factory where I spawned in close to gate 3 and immediately extracted

Lol
felt like I was gifted a late "back" button
That survival though.
that run-through
because I once spawned there and tried to get to office and got killed within 2 steps
so running through sounded more reasonable
if I load like 2-3 mins slower than my mates whats the bottleneck?
internet speed, ram, cpu?
game runs fine but loading times are excessive idk why
I tried turning all setting to minimum, I get like 55-60 fps but loading is like 5-6 mintues minimum
I'd start by installing the game on an SSD if I have one
internet speed is mostly irrelevant and RAM is a tough ask for a bottleneck, so it could be CPU
I blame the coding
the game has significant optimization issues
Is using nvidia filters alright in the game? They've got some colorblind settings that are amazing, but not sure if you could abuse it
not even going into netcode stuff that comes after
@sweet ravine there’s nothing bannable with them. Some people don’t like them and call them cheaty, but you can do whatever floats your boat
Hey guys, looking for some advice. Level 18 here, using a modded bang vs buck AK-103. I use a red dot sight. I am putting the dot on targets, but I'm getting a low accuracy in gun fights. For example, my teammate and I were along the backside of 3-story on Customs, working our way near car extract. There is heavy fighting inside, we are thinking of heading up the stairs to the second floor. As we get to the back and side corner of the building, we hear someone along the outer wall behind us. We both turn, and I have a fairly clear view (one small bush). I aim (I am crouched), and in semi I pop rounds. Dot is on his body, he is not moving much. The bad guy shoots at my partner. 11 rounds later, I am dead. My partner kills him. After the fight, it says I was 1 hit of 11 shots.
Should I change to a different 'harder hitting' gun, so those few hits are more effective? I'm at a loss. That was about 20 yards away, tops. Clear sight picture, dot on the target. I should have had at least a 50% hit rate.
how do you kill raiders?
with a gun
thanks
@trim jewel what FOV do you play at
Just treat raiders like scavs but be a touch more careful
theyre a lot snappier and more accurate
what bullets are best for raiders?
@flat cipher I run the highest.
75 I think? Whatever is the highest setting.
Just tap raider heads
@flat cipher really? Even at that close range? Back corner of 3 story, to the out wall? I would consider that between short and medium range, right?
Ok, suggestion on FOV setting, then? 50?
ya that works
@ancient falcon use the best ammo they'll someitmes have really good armor
Ok, I'll check it out. This happens a LOT. My partner is close to 50% accuracy, I'm less than 20%. But, as an avid real life shooter, I should be way higher than I am. I know sight picture, and target acquisition.
yeah its something BSG is aware of
Hey wait, @flat cipher. First, thank you for chatting with me on this. Earlier in that same raid, traveling into the backside of construction, I was able to one tap the scav sniper on the roof, from the (tank in the streets by the river) extract. I can't remember its name. Roadblock? Anyway, that is a long shot with a red dot, and it pop'd him like a zit.
Playing at a lower fov kinda helps anyway because you're closer to the scope
idk, the sight picture and zeroing is all over the place on max fov
Oh, that actually makes sense. I'm locked on at long ranges, so I'm shooting high at close and medium.
4 times now, server connection lost
Rip
F
when u got the map - can you see yourself on it while in raid?
Don't think so
how else will I find extraction point? 😄
internet map
i lost the game this way few times already
Mhm
or print them
The light has to be on i think
ruaf
if any new players want to play, im in Beginners Assist 3
Yeah ??? are maybe exits may or may not be open
But ruaf isnt open tho
there is no light on
Ruaf is buggy when it's open too
When I receive money from ragman when I sell something on fleamarket and I get an error and then I did not get the money. Is that money just gone?
shouldnt be, try relogging
that worked
what ammo should i bring in a VPO-215 with a 1x/4x scope?
how to rotate items in stash?
While dragging them press R
thnx
survived my first raid (as a scav) - adrenaline is through the roof 😄
cause I'm running out of money and got nice loot
customs
Ah my favorite
that's the only map im playing atm, best for learning
I have some blurry horizontal lines when I play, as if the game was shivering(?) when I play. It is more noticeable in daker areas such as indoors. Could this be because of my monitor or something in the settings?
Resolution maybe?
screen tearing?
Unless you had a status effect then that’s settings or monitor
Its like screen tearing but not actually, because its not the edges of objects but the whole screen in general
I have it always regardless of any status effects
idk man..
this game in general doesnt run well for me
but I haven't seen tearing like you have
best spots to do the shooter born in heaven quest?
whats the best trader to sell random stuff to make space for?
Like should I be trading nato stuff to peacekeeper, clothes to ragman... etc
or have to check every single merchant to see best rpice
Guns ammo etc - mechanic
Clothing - ragman
Meds/dog tags - therapist
do you even know what the quest is? 
seems like not lol
because the quest requires you to play on specific maps (interchange, shoreline, customs, woods)
and im asking for spots where its the best to do
fence always gives bad price no?
yes
fence has worst price yes
but fence's inventory is what people sell him no?
is it ok to sell stuff to Prapor? or better get to lvl5 and sell it on player market
Prapor underpays 
and sell those on the market anyway
someone here told use under 65 because aiming
im at 67 now
From what I’ve heard if you fuck with FOV it can ruin some scopes
So I haven’t touched it
fov only messes with like 4 red dots a lot
the rest are slightly affected
any sight with magnification is untouched by fov
?
