are you trying to find someone to play with?
quasi glade
really im trying to find someone to play with and to help me im new to game
quasi glade
figured best to try this first
steel sphinx
LFG is as good if u find adequate teammates
quasi glade
i just need to find out what to do i have no items and cant take more then 4 steps in a game and get shot
rotund sand
what map are you trying first
quasi glade
factory i think
rotund sand
thats not an easy first step at all, spawns are too close and there is nothing to loot almost
hushed furnace
oof that map is tiny
quasi glade
ok recommendations?
rotund sand
someone can immediately run towards your spawn and shoot you
rotund sand
interchange for PMC, reserve for scav, possibly
quasi glade
i have nothing
rotund sand
do some scav runs
I'd do an offline run or two and look up scav extracts on Reserve
then do a scav run there
you might find a lot of stuff where no players are even passing by
quasi glade
oh ok so i have to get to a extract to keep gear i find and it has to be online mode im assuming ?
rotund sand
yep
if you are doing a PMC run, you keep the stuff in your secure container though
even if you don't extract
quasi glade
ok ive ran through a couple off line but didnt find it so was confused
rotund sand
look up some videos on youtube, they are helpful for extracts
I'm terrible with navigation, so I got some help from them
foggy arch
There's plenty of fan made maps that show the extracts
rotund sand
reserve 3d map is the best thing
quasi glade
thanks ill give it a shot i guess
rotund sand
wish there was an offline scav mode to see extracts, but there ain't one
so you have to confirm those by eye in offline
foggy arch
Just gotta develop that map knowledge.
ancient falcon
difference between klin and kedr?
rotund sand
"Because of its increased powder charge, this round can't be shot from the PP-91 "Kedr" and PP-91-01 "Kedr-B" submachine guns. The PP-9 "Klin" can shoot the 9x18 mm PM PMM round." unless this is outdated, might be the only relevant difference
quasi glade
ok just played a match SCAV couldnt find extract so do i lose all the loot i found
quasi glade
this is so frustrating
rotund sand
did you spot the extracts in offline?
onyx wraith
You should open a map of the map you want to play beforehand so you can quickly look up where to go for extract
sweet ravine
What's the difference between the AKS-74n and AK-74n?
quasi glade
no i started to load already after you said to try and i was confedent the youtube video was going to help and i was wrong lol
also tried the map thing but got lost real quick lol
and you have to wait to do another scav game wtf
rotund sand
ah, stuff happens man, I still get lost everywhere xD
foggy arch
Scavs have a 20m cooldown. It's mainly for us newbies to learn the game without losing to much.
quasi glade
well back to pubg i guess cant do anything on here '
onyx wraith
Without losing anything at all but time, rather

i have a sherpa hopefully helping me figure some stuff out tomorrow

Question, at what point should I not use armor due to it's HP value? Example: AVS sitting at 5/30
rotund sand
I know that armor is pretty much gone, but I don't know what is the threshold percentage for max durability. I think someone recommended 90% of initial max durability once, though
foggy arch
Ah, so not worth the repair and reuse.
rotund sand
yeah even if that was a 30/30, that'd no longer be as protective as its own class

@oblique igloo i believe so yeah it looks like it to me anyways
@ancient falcon do you need the casg?

RBMP22 is alright
But not a priority key at all
You're probably better off selling it, buying a couple better keys and buy it back when you want a full keyset

It can spawn ak's and tank batteries and has a toolbox @ancient falcon
Yeah i would sell aswell
ancient falcon
to sell it I have to give 580k wtfff

after I save up for red rebel, next goal is to get the underground keys, I guess
pliant elk
get the keys first and loot underground, can always take train exit or wait for someone to pull the lever
I found multiple tank batteries in those cages, tons of meds and other stuff
ancient falcon
underground?
pliant elk
you can farm shturman for red rebel, spawn in with a mosin rush for center on woods if he's not there extract with the car

whats best for penetrating armor?
rotund sand
Agent took me to reserve the other day, I wasn't able to help him that much unfortunately p:

IN terms of 9x19, the ap 6.3. But overall it's not that good for pen

scav ran a gpu out of the oli pc area just now, 20m left in raid and i spent about 2m in there lmaoo extracted
rotund sand
or something like 6b13, but then you'd need to buy a rig on top
how do you not get scared of losing a gpu and extract in 2 minutes xD
strong barn
started at 20m left in raid
i extracted at 17m or so left in raid ๐ killed a scav, got a vest behind goshan, go into oli, first pc is gpu
immediately run for emercom
strong barn
LOL i thought about it but as scav with not even an AI2 i was like 'naah'
rotund sand
not even loot further, just find a safe spot and go sit there, that's what my heart can afford
strong barn
safety first, always wrap it up...right?
I tried to be a bush camper at emercom once a few days ago
I cant even extract camp right; i killed the guy ontop of the extract and the timer was faster than I could search his body
rotund sand
found a flash drive last night, went MIA because I hid for too long p:

the run before I hid with my dry fuel and 2 scissors, actually made it to extract

@ancient falcon try a linked search with the silencer?

completed in 7 minutes
7 minutes into that raid, I wouldn't have left the building he spawned in yet

in terms of confidence?

Yeah anxiety is a terrible thing. I became physically dependent on sleeping pills (legit through the doctors) in 2015 and had several years of high anxiety and panic attacks after quitting

that sounds pretty severe

I wouldn't want anyone to experience that kind of thing
Yeah it was the worst time in my life
rotund sand
luckily for me, I can hide in some maps!
karmic garden
The two things that helped the most were meditation (Headspace app) and exercise (weightlifting)
Haha
karmic garden
What could you see
karmic garden
Hmm was it that dead end bit near the idea entrance front side
rotund sand
it might be, because on the other side, there were some metal containers
karmic garden
Up the stairs to the right
rotund sand
was close to exit
need to spawn in offline and memorize where it is
for future hidings
just trying to learn extract from night scav runs on interchange with scraps
one run, I saw like 2 blue fuels and one metal, but had no backpack
luckily I couldn't extract anyway, that was the MIA one
last run I extracted, but had no space for a hand drill
oblique igloo
At least you have the balls to try out diff maps. I don't even want to touch interchange with a scav...
rotund sand
I mean not like this is helping me learn stuff, I guess. you could argue I'm just wasting my time and I wouldn't be able to deny
but yeah, Interchange scav runs seem to have some leftovers spread around to pick up
Reserve, too
oblique igloo
For reserve and woods yeah
rotund sand
Woods too if you are interested
tardy pond
@rotund sand why cant you sprint?
oblique igloo
Also need a paracord
rotund sand
yeah Pestily says to care about hatchlings, pistolings
where on earth are these guys I wonder
I always get shot from somewhere I can't even see
tardy pond
I see hatchlings all the time
They run to the most valuable things
Shove it in their ass and die
rotund sand
I think that's the reason I never see them
by the time I actually move, their job is done, lol
I did 2 interchange PMC runs so far, saw a hatchling in one of them
actually killed him, lol
tardy pond
Yeah probably
ancient falcon
wheres cliff descent in woods though?
rotund sand
nah, not that side
ancient falcon
oh near the sniper spawn
rotund sand
yeah
the rocks give an opening to a path
there is also one crate to loot, though not sure if it drops anything good
named Mountain Stash on the map I see now
wow look at my knowledge about a map I ran 2 times in total, I'm improving

is there a way to keep money after wipe? I saw pestily do it once i think
tardy pond
My keytool is like 1mil to insure aswell so i never do it
ancient falcon
what's your go to to make heaps of money? @tardy pond
if you spawn far or a bit later, its not point in looting the good item spawns right?
rotund sand
you could find a paracord, throw your insured paracord in a bush and get the new paracord in your secure container
about the only use I can think of
tardy pond
@ancient falcon my go to is generally scav runs and go to decayed buildings and go from there and kill raiders if theyre available
If i spawn hole in the fence side i try loot scraps in buildings or go underground bunker
On pmc i tend to go either marked rooms or dropdown / king
rotund sand
last night I found a flash drive on an already secured PC case
people might overlook stuff
tardy pond
Im still trying to get all the keys for reserve so i dont have all the stuff yet like underground
rotund sand
which is why I don't check those rooms as a scav, either, thinking some smart guy might be checking them for leftovers
absolutely 400 IQ display from me

Youre just too scared๐ killing people best way to make money

Dry fuel isnt worth that much isnit?๐
rotund sand
could have been an empty 1k mag
I'm more pissed off about the fact that I lost something

@stone moss i mean killing people can be an easy way to get more stuff :P but yeah dedicated loot runs on pmc is probably better

@tardy pond what do you mean dropdown/king
I've gotta try marked room
never got to it on time yet
decayed buildings in near the bunker?
raiders don't spawn sometimes right?
ancient furnace
hey so whats better for the glock ap or luggers for ammo
tardy pond
@ancient falcon dropdown is black bishop, it has a locked room which has alot of tech spawns with gpu's and tetriz.
Its called dropdown because you can jump out of a window, drop onto a door porch and go inside the room without the key
Marked rooms are risky but fun imo
Decayed is also called K buildings, near the bunker yeah. Those middle 6 that sre falling apart. Has fuel spawns and filters that often arent looted
Also paracord chance
Raiders only spawn after the bunker lever has been pulled for the first time and only a 60% ish chance
And king is a building in the middle of the map pretty much, ive heard people call it servers aswell. Bunch of tech spawns there aswell

where the hell do you find car batteries
fiery rover
oli
naive lion
I've found like 3 in 200 hours of playtime
fiery rover
but easier way: if you can buy a tank batterie from flea market and use your hideout
1 tank batterie equals 4 car batteries
naive lion
does it count as found in raid?
rotund sand
crafted items are "found in raid", yes
rotund sand
get your tank batteries before they change weight system, guys xD
fiery rover
takes about 3hours and you get 4 car batterys marked as find in raid^^
naive lion
its 5 batteries btw
fiery rover
really? ok my bad
naive lion
rotund sand
wonder how many millions will a tank battery be worth after they change the weight system
naive lion
are they even used for anything?
rotund sand
there is a quest tied to it
not sure how significant it is though
if its not a kappa quest, it might become totally irrelevant
checked it, its not one
yeah tank battery might become the most useless thing in the game soon p:
naive lion
I assume they'll add uses for it
and besides you can dismantle it for 5 batteries so it still might be a profit if you can get out
rotund sand
since it'll be a massive hassle just to carry one through the map
stone moss
It's going to be hilarious.
ancient falcon
oh dropdown @tardy pond I always go there. Never only found a gpu twice
rotund sand
you won't be able to tell between a guy with broken legs and a tank battery
ancient falcon
otherwise there is nothing there

Should be able to. Would just hurt.

Good for close quarters headshots and low armor
But as with any 9x19 round itโs not getting through much
dire rock
I wouldnโt trust 9x19 past 10m but thatโs just me I donโt like the round
Most people I come across have armor and unless Iโm running AP which makes my wallet cry Itโs not very useful to me
stone moss
It's not great besides for flesh. I don't even think much of the AP rounds.
dire rock
They shred armor but they arenโt worth what they cost
dire rock
Yeah
stone moss
But is cheap because of reserve
dire rock
Ye
stone moss
But yeah, that will work too
I do head and leg so I usually don't worry about pen.
And if you go that route... Sp 7 and 8 are poor man's luger

Sometimes they can be behind metal or a fence and with enough pen you can still hit

Flesh rounds won't go through chain link fence...

So, people mention that some reflex sights have less sway than others when moving while shooting. Any examples of this?
royal wind
What kind of examples?
fair edge
I hear that the UH-1 has less reticle sway than other collimators when moving while shooting, but I haven't personally confirmed it.
Streamer hearsay and all.
royal wind
So what are you asking?
fair edge
I'm asking if there are any collimators that actually have reduced reticle sway when moving.
flat cipher
no
short leaf
royal wind
There is. Like the PK-06 doesnt move much but the P1x Weaver is garbage when moving.
royal wind
But you're going to have to try them for yourself. Almost nobody would have knowledge of all the ones that suck and which ones dont.
Just fill a backpack with reddots and go offline and pop and swap. I'd be curious of your results.
fair edge
tbh yeah, that's exactly what I'll do
rotund sand
oh, got the MK3 from insurance

will use Shadowplay to review results later.

effing scav killed us at an obscure place, god bless xD

Lol
rotund sand
https://i.imgur.com/2QnhvBY.png my next scav is a fun one
fair edge
This reminds me of my first scav run ever.
I killed another scav cuz I didn't know they were friendly.
Picked up what looked like a bolt-action weapon
then another scav insta-proned to attack me, and I tried to "snipe" him
all shots missed even tho the iron sights were trained on the head
turns out, I was trying to shoot a TOZ with buckshot at 30-40m
rotund sand
rofl
fair edge
that's when I learned that bolt-action shotguns exist
fair edge
This game makes me wanna buy my own SA-58
royal wind
I mean... I've fired a ton of firearms and is a self proclaimed gun nut. But even I didnt know the toz was a bolt action shotgun when I first started this game.
stone moss
Until you actually fire it
rotund sand
fun fact, there is like a routine you do while changing shifts and stuff to check the chamber for ammo
I messed that up and fired an actual round into the sky
fair edge
royal wind
There's a way to eject rounds too. I havent been able to play lately to figure it out.
rotund sand
thank god our officer did not hear somehow
royal wind
That's my next objective.
fair edge
idk if there's a hotkey for that
rotund sand
eject rounds?
fair edge
I know that you can remove round from chamber in your inventory.
rotund sand
oh you mean the round in the chamber?
fair edge
and the animation for ejecting a round and catching it plays
royal wind
There's an animation for it, so I figure there's a hotkey. Saw it in a video where he ejected the round and caught it.
Ooooh... that may be it then.
fair edge
why carry magazines when you can load one round at a time
just click heads 4head

I did 2 of them and I didn't see the appeal in dying over and over to rush a good loot spot.

I'd rather have a fighting chance tho
rotund sand
so I'm going to learn how to snipe and do that quest after xD
stone moss
Even though it's rare
rotund sand
maybe I can kill the mannequins in interchange with this weapon now

Fighting chance depends on what's going on.

I think you walking into an exit that requires a scav and PMC to be there
stone moss
Cool
fallen hollow
lol just died to raiders on reserve with 2 paracord on me as a scav lol
fallen hollow
meh ive learned to not be sad at this game
and im still happy cause i bought a red rebel yesterday and this is my first wipe and i never thought id get this far
rotund sand
nice
you can stay positive and do your best
or you can wail in your own self-deprecating humor like a certain someone
the former works better for the game
fallen hollow
lol
stone moss
Ehh as. Long as you can make the money back, no reason to be too worried.
misty zenith
What's the diff between scav and pmc runs?
misty zenith
So scav is safer if you dont wana lose your shit?
misty zenith
Sweet
rotund sand
has a 20 minute cooldown
stone moss
Honestly I'd rather loot pmc
If you find an exceptionally good item, you can out it in the container.
royal wind
The main difference is you cant complete quests or level your profile as a scav.
stone moss
And your PMC gets xp for the run
rotund sand
yeah that's the biggest disadvantage on a scav run
got something crazy? no safe container
stone moss
Ya I mostly use scav for pvo but this wipe I think I've used mine about 10 times...
rotund sand
I think I'm at like 100 now
royal wind
I normally just alternate back and forth between them
rotund sand
have maybe 10 extracts and something like 30 run throughs
burnt jay
What should I be doing with btc and gp coins?
stone moss
Sell on market or to rapist
burnt jay
Got it
royal wind
Sell the bitcoins, trade the GP coins for 5-7's and sell/use those.
burnt jay
Who trades the 5-7?
stone moss
The y are about the same price I think and it's a pistol
If you have the barter unlocked
royal wind
Peacekeeper level 3.
burnt jay
All my people are level 1
stone moss
Then sell rapist or flea
royal wind
GP Coins are like 25k arent they? Doing the barter will get you about 10k more.
stone moss
Minus tax
burnt jay
Eh I'll just sell since I don't have the trade anyway
rotund sand
could toss them in a scav box and wait, I guess, but the gain is not much
stone moss
Also get you trades toward level up
People lose money pinching pennies when they could be in another run looting.
royal wind
Barters count for leveling traders. Just so you know.
flat cipher
so does selling
burnt jay
I don't have the trade tho
royal wind
I know King.
burnt jay
And I've noticed that actually otherwise I wouldn't have any spent at traders
royal wind
Your best bet is to just sell both.
burnt jay
I did
rotund sand
if my aim was better, I'd totally run 5-7

karmic garden
@rotund sand do you know the best way to get your aim better
strong barn
Try to learn to fire without aiming down sights @karmic garden
rotund sand
no he is asking for me p:
karmic garden
Yeah
strong barn
you can hip fire pretty accurately, is all I'm saying
karmic garden
What I was going to say is the best way to get your aim better is to shoot at people a lot
Yeah point fire in this game is king
rotund sand
well I guess its time to update MW
karmic garden
I rarely ads unless it's long range
strong barn
Honestly I got the game a week or so ago
the biggest ding moment came when I got my first kill non-ads
I couldnt believe it, the whole 4-5 first days i was ADS/mag dumping like a loser ๐
karmic garden
Dbal on ir searchlight mode on everything
rotund sand
loser here, how can I help
karmic garden
@strong barn I can't count the amount of people I've sprayed while they're going into ads
@strong barn you know about the light/laser thing and point fire on this game?
strong barn
Probably me like 10 times over ๐ฌ
rotund sand
at this point, I feel like Crusty definitely killed me in this game at least once
strong barn
I know the IR laser is pretty dead on and 'inspecting' your gun seems to realign it to center for a moment
is there something Im missing @karmic garden
karmic garden
@strong barn having any active laser or light on your gun massively tightens up your point fire accuracy. If you use something like a holosun or dbal on your gun in the ir searchlight mode it means you don't have to have a visible light or laser on but still get the massive accuracy buff
@rotund sand when did you start playing
karmic garden
And you play on EU servers?
stone moss
I love when people use lasers because it gives away their position and they forget that other people can see it too. I've killed so many people because of their lasers.
rotund sand
yeah, but I probably had less than 50 raids combined in previous wipes, so there is that
karmic garden
@stone moss yeah I never use the visible lasers for that reason
strong barn
So the mode that allows my laser to be 'invisible' still adds a buff to my point fire aim in the same way as if I had the laser visibily 'on'?
I notice there is a setting on the dual light/laser modules that seems to be a '3rd' setting but i couldnt tell if it was doing anything; is this the laser you talk about here..

@karmic garden
karmic garden
@rotund sand I don't remember your name so I probably haven't killed you
@strong barnyes that's its, if you go close to a wall it's like a very dim red light
stone moss
They're IGN is different.
karmic garden
It's supposed to be an ir searchlight but it doesn't work currently
What's your ign @rotund sand
rotund sand
alajet
strong barn
Ahhh ok ok
karmic garden
Hmm doesn't ring a bell but who knows
strong barn
Can you please give me an example of an ingame laser that i can reference?
name in-game I can search and look at in offline raids

restart tarkov and DONT TOUCH ANYTHING
until it loads
dont tab out dont click

my game froze anytime if I clicked anywhere during launch for weeks
without freestyle even
then it somehow fixed itself

What do i do now
I opened freestyle
Like idk what to add to the style boxes
/ filters
rotund sand
its kinda up to you how to tweak those stuff

ill show you mine, give them a go
its personal pref
these just make the game a little clearer, more colourful

thats a lot of vibrance, there

props to devs for making the most unfair multiplayer game possible and make it work

Nah I'm designated pointman every group lol
rotund sand
it would be the walking shield strat
stone moss
The funny thing is usually on the least equipped as well.
spark hawk
They do need to had a riot shield!
stone moss
What good with a riot shield do you?
rotund sand
what if it works on a psychological level though
the guy sees you and he is like "mm, nah, don't want to bother using my expensive ammo on this guy's kit"
and right after the geared boys show up
stone moss
Some dude with m995 will just rip through and hit you.
rotund sand
please no riot shield, I hated that in MW
the most edgelord thing ever was guys sitting in a corner with riot shield whole round
stone moss
All the people that go and get it or just bloodthirsty.
rotund sand
yeah the riot shield in that game was broken last time I touched
stone moss
yeah but a real riot shield wouldn't actually be able to block a lot of the caliber that are being used in this game and even if it could it wouldn't hold up very long. and then what are you going to do? Try to shoot somebody around it with a pistol?
rotund sand
my K/D was terrible in that game, too
though I'd still play if my friends did
yeah, realistically, it'd be pretty useless
zinc tartan
Plus grenades are a thing
rotund sand
it does work in an arcade game like CoD
I think my friend once used a rocket launcher from like 5m away on a riot shield guy
or something like that
stone moss
The last one I played was ghosts.
I don't care much for blizzard Activision these days.

I was a long time trash LoL player, moved onto other games

Ewww lol

I did play BF V a bit, TD2, CoD MW

funny because in any of those titles I played the role of the idiot
who sprinted out in the open and got tapped

I played csgo apex and Cod MW but the Damascus grind for MW puts me off for a while I still need shotguns and assault rifles gold/plat while I need 2-3 mags gold

I only really used MP5 and MP7, I think, I was horrible

Ehh

Yah idk I'll check it out sometime maybe. I'm curious to see how relevant it is to tarkov...
rotund sand
https://i.imgur.com/H2JQmXB.png second practice gives this
stone moss
Well accuracy matters a lot so...
night trench
what if guy just holding a scrap metal shield?
royal wind
I want to try!
tardy pond
@stone moss i mean tarkov heavily relies on knowledge and positioning
stone moss
Go for it then
royal wind
I cant just yet. I'm "working"
stone moss
There is a lot that goes into tarkov shooting.
rotund sand
https://i.imgur.com/kfMCms3.png tried to forgo accuracy and shot faster
tardy pond
@stone moss meh, if you just take the shooting its fairly comparable to other games
night trench
for what ive seen tarkov has very little bullet drop
stone moss
Has a lot to do with the range you are shooting and the gun/ammo.
It's more variable in this game than most others I have played.
night trench
yeah but eapecially for assault rifles ive noticed almost no drop in like +250m
for other stuff yeah more
stone moss
I play smgs and pistols so I deal with it a lot more.
But the modding of the gun can impact performance a lot as well. More than I usually see in fps
rotund sand
https://i.imgur.com/YhxNEda.jpg this game is about to tell me to stop playing
stone moss
I think you are trying too hard
wraith cypress
I am looking for a guy that could help me to learn the game and teach me the basics. I bought the game yesterday so I am not really gonna give you any benefits but I would really appreciate if somebody could help me. I don't want you to give me stuff or boost my progress in any way cause I want to progress by myself. I just need somebody to tell me what I should do. I somehow know Customs but not really that well. I am a 14 year old guy and I speak Finnish and English.

yeah?
rotund sand
maybe I'm not trying enough tbh
stone moss
I'm na but if you are in later or on the weekend I'll take you on some runs.

rotund sand
its kind of a dice roll, you could copy other people's settings, I guess, including streamers. I'd still check in-game FPS myself first, though
my CPU is a 8700k, so probably not very similar
stone moss
Pentium D processor

I first bought Tarkov before building my current PC
was getting 10-15 FPS back then, good old days
fiery rover
now you have a strong pc and get 15-20 fps good old optimization ๐
rotund sand
rofl @fiery rover
well as long as stutters happen, a fat FPS value means little, in my opinion
in the same vein as latency, jitter is the real killer

Yes... Too much caffeine will give you the jitters and kill you.

not wrong

I dont know if putting condition 100 of 100 works or not

doesnt seem to work
rotund sand
don't think it does for consumables like this
wraith cypress
How can I get fuel then?
I have to find it from a raid?
is that the only way
Without looking trough a 1000 flea offers
stone moss
Raid or look at higher prices
rotund sand
uh, if you don't want to bother with flea, not much of a choice
you can craft them at hideout too, I think
stone moss
Blue is usually 90s
wraith cypress
I can find them from room 110 in customs right?
rotund sand
interchange seems to have lots from what I saw so far
wraith cypress
Oh, ok
rotund sand
though I can't really tell what is where in exact place, someone else needs to enlighten xD
wraith cypress
But there might be some on the bed in the room 110 tho? or do you know
I saw a video that said so atleast
stone moss
I find fuel a lot in reserve and labs
rotund sand
I'm not familiar with room 110 fuel, but if there was a video, I don't see why not, you could always give it a shot
if you want to keep playing in customs/around dorms, might be your better option
jolly rain
Get a Bitcoin farm and atleast 1 graphics card and just buy the fuel tanks from the Market or Jaeger, even if you don't have solar power you are still at around 60K profit per bitcoin and fuel tank

are u serious ๐ซ ๐ซ ๐ซ lvl15? well that sux

well not what i hoped for but ok
still need the change that things bought from vendors can't be sold to flea market

I couldn't reach level 15 with flea available, will see myself out 
fiery rover
i can help ๐
austere mortar
It is bullshit how taking a rearsight of some guns actually breaks the ads accuracy
While on other guns it just makes aiming much cleaner and easier
rotund sand
well I always wondered why you needed level 5 for flea to be available
BSG decided to address my question p:
smart man Nikita not mentioning this rather big change at all in podcast so that nobody could ask
naive atlas
im guessing because without lvl requirement
you can do 0 quests
and just buy/sell everything from flea
stone moss
Idk looked at comments and only thing that made any sense was rmt stuff
rotund sand
uh, yeah and if the quests were less of a pain in the ass, I'd be doing them instead
fiery rover
i actually think they want to decrease the flea markets infulence on th eeconomy or in general slow the pacing down
but thats the wrong way
rotund sand
they want to decrease the influence? remove it, then
stone moss
Watch them dumpster tarkov slowly

stone moss
It's easy for some. Others still struggle

it makes sense to me, the whole point of doing quests and levelling traders is access to better stuff
rotund sand
I'm thinking of resetting the account right now
naive atlas
if you can flea whats the point of leveling traders
rotund sand
traders sell you stuff for better prices
stone moss
Not necessairly
And the systems in place make the traders irrelevant until later on anyway.
Level 2 you get okish gear... Level 3 is where it starts to matter.
